partments of the hospital, more machines come to light. There are devices which provide ultraviolet rays. Other apparatus applies heat to the body, by use of electric light, by burning of cartoons with reflec- tors, and by passing electric cur rent through the tissues.
 Many hours would be required even to list devices used in the diagnosis and treatment of dis ease today. Their names are com plicated and their uses highly technical.
 The sphymograph, the poly graph the plethysmograph, and the electrocardiograph are de- vices which provide records on a visible scale of changes in the pressure, the pulse, and the mo- tions of various tissues and fluids.
 There are automatic devices used for giving blood transfusions. Machines are used for injecting air into the lungs so as to produce collapse of the lung, or artificial pneumothorax, and thus rest the lung in tuberculosis.
 
 There are devices for pulling the arms and the legs, thus hold ing the fragments of bone in place in treatment of fractures and dis locations.
 All great discoveries in mechan- ics, in physics, in chemistry, in en- gineering, and in other sciences are being applied to save human life. Use of these machines has added somewhat to cost of medical care, but 1t has made the treatment of disease more certain, more safe, and more scientific.
 Physicians are developing means of using such machines jointly in hospitals and in groups of offices, to make their use les costly to the individual patient. However, no machine is any more valuable than the brains of the man behind it. No machine can make a diagnosis or remove brain tumor or an ap- pendix.

 The Play
 East opened the jack of clubs, which was won in dummy with the ace. A player who plays me- chanicaly simply will lead an- other club, and then lead the third club in an endeavor to ruff in dummy. East, of course, will ruff with the five of spades and lead diamond.
 North then will play a low dia- mond from dummy, West will win with the king, return another club and East will ruff again. A diamond will be returned, which West will ruff, and the declarer will be down three tricks.
 Why not decide that the only way you can make your contract is to find the king of diamonds in the West hand, and, play the hand accordingly? You either can play the ace of diamonds and thus drop the king, or play a small diamond toward the queen. This would establish the dia- monds, the losing clubs can be discarded, and the declarer has lost only his one diamond trick. Copyright 1894 NEA Serxice, Incl

SYNOPSIS

PABLITO. a handsome youth, becomes a fugitive when, due to circumstances beyond his control
 he finds himself on his way to Cuba with BEAU and LOTTEE, two thieves.
 Beau has killed a man and stolen g famous string of pearls. Pablifo does not know this or that he himself has been accused of the crime which took place at the Florida home of wealthy JIM FIELD. PabIito loves Fields daughter, ESTELLE and she loves him. MARCIA TREAD WAY knows PablitO Is innocent but fears scandal if she tells this. She goes to Havana, hoping to find PabIitO there.
 In Havana Pablito tries to find NORRIS NOYES who befriend- cd him as a child but his efforts fail.
 Beau, impressed by Pablito's natural ability as boxer, de- cides to arrange some matches for him, calling him JUAN
 Meanwhile SIR AUBREY, a titled Englishman and PabIito's father, begins Q search for his son. BILLINGS, his agent, lo- cates ANGELA, the old woman in whose care PabIitO was left. She says PablitO is away work ing.
 CHAPTER Xxfv
 Angela hobbled back to her shack and packed her belongings. There was scarcely more to do than to slip bottle of gin in the front of her dress. This done, she hObb1ed forth again. She would go to the swamp for little while, she decided. She did not wish to en- counter inquisitive strangers again. Picturesquely she cursed them. If their coming should disturb the monthly remittance from Cuba for caring for Pablito what would be- come of herr.
 She wept. whining vituperatien and curses as she went.
 At the edge of the swamp she pulled her sagging skirts high and waded cautiously, wary eye out for alligators an dwater moccasins. Again on land, she followed what was called tn e"Slave's Way be- cause years before many slaves had followed this route, seeking freedom.
 When she stepped into the first klearing she jumped so that a twinge of rheumatism made her vince. Someone else had sought the shelter of the swamp-a man.
 Good day, mother" he said easily. He, too, looked startled. He hoped she had not noticed this but she had seen it and smiled shyly.
 'It is 8 good day for a picnic" {" she said slowly.
 twill you share my meal?" he asked. She nodded as she sat down on a hummock not far from him. Then she studied him. Soon when she felt 1t to be wise-she would return to Key West and tell the authorities that man was hiding in the swamp in a spot to which she could direct them. She would do this, pfoviding she could benefit by it. Probability of her benefitting she would make sure of before spoke.

ing those days. She thought of the past and of what was ahead. She had begun to understand her fa- ther through his attitude about Pablito. He had ben ruthless in refusing to listen to her defense of the boy. He would b ekind, she re- alized, so long as he had his way and wholly cruel if antagonized She feared the years when she must be alone with him.
 Are you comfortable, mother?"
 "Quite, dear heart-'
 But her mother spoke slowly now with long gaps between her words and always there was the flush of fever on her sunken cheeks and the brightness of it in her eyes.
 Norma Field died in October. The day was Estelle's sixteenth tains were tinged with pink and gold and purple and the air was sparkling. ~ She had never seemed better. Estelle had laughed with her that morning over some trivial happen ing that had amused them both. Then Mrs Field had said she wanted to rest and Estelle had gone to the garden to look at the mountains, the changes of which never failed to entrance her.
 She returned at luncheon time to meet the day nurse. Dear, don't come in now" the nurse ordered sharply. Estelle grew faint but the nurse did not stop to help her. She hurried back to her

 "Never mind, darling. You have your daddy" he said soothingly, batting the girls shoulder. He felt her clinging to him more tightly.

CONTRACT BRIDGE
High Card Values All Depends On How You Hold Them With Respect To Bidding Of Opposition
 At Right Or Left
BY VIM. E.. MCKINNEY Secretary of the American Bridge League
Solution to Previous" Contract Problem

Too many people have learned to play contract in a. mechanical and mathematical way. They bid ,nathematically, adding up high cafd tricks and playing tricks, and paying no attention to location of cards.
 Automatically, we are taught that king is worth one-half trick, but if the player to our left bids the suit of which we hold the king, we might as well make up our mind that 1t is north worth much. But if the man to our right bids that suit, the king, in all likelihood. now is worth whole trick.
 Don't get into the habit of bid ding mathematically or playing cards mechanically. The player in today,s hand who feels that he must ruff the losing clubs will lose his contract.
 North's jump to five spades might be considered a little opti- mistic, especially since he has no other act-that is, it generally

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Drinking Mate

Have you any information about the mental state of natives or South America who drink mate ahbitually? CIR. l.. D.
 Answer Mate is akin to tea the leaves are harvested from the shrub or tree which grows wild along streams in Paraguay and is cultivated in various South Amer ican countries. A cupful has vir-- tually the same effects as cup of tea. Perhaps some natives allow the beverage to ferment to produce an intoxicating beverage. A cupful of freshly made mate contains about as much caffein Cor thein) as does glass of popular soda fountain beverage or half a cupful of coffee.

Fight Against
Barr Rubber
Go. u on
By a Worker Correspondent

BY a worker correspondent
SANDUSKY, Ohio. - The rubber
workers strike here lasted seventeen
weeks ano was called off Wednes-
day, July 25th. The name of the
factory is the Barr Rubber Co., and
1t manufactures rubber toys Of all
kinds. Previous to the strike there
wasn't any union organization of
the workers. with the exception of
a short period when they were or
gained by A. F. of L. officials in
a Federal Labor Union, affiliated
with the A. F. Of L. The company
refused to recognize the union, and
that fact caused a strike.
Other reasons also were as fol-
lows. The president of the COM
pany, whose name is Dorm, organ
lied a company union, and then
began to fire the workers of the
Federal Union. The workers and
sympathizers, did quite effective
picket work, so much so that the
company union applied for an in
junction. The Judge did not grant
it, but later he did grant an in
junction, when the company APP
piled for one.
The injunction judge had a num-
Der of the strikers hauled up before
him, two Of whom were women, and
militant. They were charged with
violating the injunction and we're
fined and sentenced to time in Jail.
The judge, however, changed his
mind, and permitted them to go
free. The strike difficulty was
taken before the regional board
several times, without any settle
ment resulting. The matter was
also taken up with the National
Labor Board without any settle
ment
However on July 26th an agree
ment was entered into with the
Cleveland Regional Labor Board
and the walkout ended.
Ed. NOte.-This report OF the
worker correspondent should also
include what was the agreement
under which the strike ended. Did
the workers win any of their
demands?

Use Violence to Block
Leaflets Calling
for Unity
BY a Worker Correspondent

BROOKLYN, N. Y.-The strikers
of the International were all seated
in the Brownsville Labor Lyceum
singing Solidarity Forever" when
two industrial knitgoods strikers
quietly walked through the aisles
distributing leaflets. The first striker
in each aisle passed the leaflets
down to his fellow workers, who
took them eagerly and quit their
singing and read the message of
unity. One of their officials sud-
denly observed our "atrocious
crime" Grabbing me by the arm
she shouted: Get out Of here"
But there were still few leaflets
IN my hand, so 1 threw them into
the air where most of the strikers
were seated. A man came along,
grabbed me and attempted to eject
me forcibly. I asked him to keep
his hands off. The strikers were
no longer quiet. I called to them:
stick together and you will win"
BY now the two officials we're so
furious that they were on the verge
of hurting me down the long flight
Of marble steps. The strikers be-
gan to shout: LET her 60" They
tore the bloodthirsty hounds away
from me. I asked my young male
companion to go. Meanwhile, I
walked slowly down the stairs as
the officials were held back by the
strikers and shouted: 1--WE are all
workers, we must not permit our
ranks to be broken. Do not permit
your officials to betray YOU"
Later in the day two girls dis
tributed leaflets outside of the hall,
but one of them had spoken to a
"misleader" through ignorance.
Suddenly she was confronted with
guerilla" who threatened to do
to her what they had attempted to
do to me.
Knitgoods workers: chairman
of an International shop told us
how when a worker takes the floor
to ask for a 35-hour week he is
not permitted the floor at the fol-
lowing meeting. He said the work
ers want 35 hours, the officials do
not How can we win IS hours in
such case? Think only that with
out workers to back them there
would be no officials. 1t is you who
keep up these traitors.
Do not be cowed by them and
their guerillas. Form solid ranks
with the workers of the Industrial
Union under one leadership Chosen
by the workers. and for one set
of demands. Unity IF the workers
brings victory.

of seeing every issue become May

that of June 81. should become a

Intensity Fight
For Relief In
Niagara Falls
BY a worker correspondent

NIAGARA FALLS, N. YIN spite
of the fact that wages are lower
here than almost anywhere else,
and living is higher than in Buffalo
and surrounding towns, the land
lords are clamoring for an increase
in rent The city council is propos-
ing to raise the tax rate from $40
per thousand to $11.95 and in ad-
dition is continuing the special SIS
per thousand welfare" tax. At the
same time they are making the
teachers kick back 10 per cent of
their pay and they are going to re-
duce the number of teachers and
enlarge their classes, If they can
get away with it.
They are cutting all single men
of F. E. r. A. work down to one day
week go, to force them to more
diligently seek work in the factories
this at time when every plant
in town is laying off men!
The Mayor has just turned down
plans for re-housing project -
after a careful study of two days
of plan submitted by the govern
ment, saying it is not adapted to
the needs of Niagara Falls-but fail
ing to say what is necessary, or
making any proposals for replacing
the lousy cockroach shacks that the
Negro workers are forced to live in
here, as do many foreign born also.
A huge apparatus of political job
seekers and seat warmers form the
administration of the relief here. A
mob of investigators" drive around
spying on the workers and demand
ing to know every personal detail of
their lives.
Recently the men on the relief
jobs and the unemployed and many
workers from the various plants be-
gan to organize. Over 600 joined
the Niagara Falls Employed and
Unemployed Protective League and
have drawn up a militant program
of action and demands.
The American workers here used
to say that if it we're not for the
foreign born workers they could
have better conditions. But they
never tried to organize them. Now
they see that all have to fight to-
gether, and they see that if given
chance the foreign born worker is
eager to organize and fight side by
side. It is the same with the Negro
workers. We are learning fast.
The Protective League is rank and
file controlled, and the members
have voted to unite with the Ma
tional Unemployment Councils. Our
activities so far have been to re-
cruit and consolidate our organiza-
ton. take up individual grievances
of the members. and prepare city
wide campaign for general increase
in living conditions.
