SWEET STUFF
Good Evening.

SWEET STUFF When was young and foolish The best thing could wish Was to be left alone entirely With well filled candy dish. I'd dream of it in barrels, Millions of chocolate drops, And not soul to stop me As bit off many tops. Another youthful dreaming Was the ice cream soda urge, Tall and pink and foamy, Or chocolate frosted splurge. Life held lots of sweetness Such as frosting on the cake, But the sweetest things went blooey When they started sweet toothache.

Solution to Previous Contract Problem

SOIllEdCG IIOOhC"
 Trump management is the most difficult part of the play of the hand to learn. Should you lead trump? Should you cross-ruff the hand out? Or should you establish a side suit?
 All these should be, given con- sideration before playing a card. The key of most difficult hands usually depends upon how success fully you manage the trump situa- tion. -.,.
 J. c. George, one of the out standing bridge players of Cleve- land, gave a good demonstration of trump management in today's hand, when he successfully com pleted his contract of six spades doubled.
 The Play
 East's opening lead was the jack of hearts, which was won in dummy with the ace. A small club was retaurned. West played the ten and MT George, in the North. won the trick with the ace. He returned the jack of diamonds, East covered with the queen, dummy's king was played, and West won the trick with the ace.
 If West now returns spade, the contract will be defeated. However. West had one trick in and was too eager to try to make trump trick, so he made the mistake of returning the three of clubs, which

Mir George won in dummy with the jack. The deuce of diamonds was returned and won by MT George with the ten.
 Now a small diamond was played and trumped in dummy with the seven of spades. The king of hearts in dummy was cashed next and the king of clubs discarded by declarer.
 The queen of clubs was played from dummy and West, with his five trump, was helpless. If he trumped with the eight of spades, declarer would overtrump.
 queen of hearts, MT George trumped with the six of spades and now held the ace, queen, and jack of spades and two diamonds in his own hand, while dummy held the king and ten of spades and three hearts. The hand cross ruffed right out.
 The seven of diamonds was led and trumped with the ten of spades, West being forced to un- der-trump. A small heart was re- turned and trumped with the jack of spades.
 The six of diamonds was played and trumped with the king of spades. A small heart was re- turned, declarer trumping with the queen of spades, and then cashing his ace of spades-thus making his contract.

Parent eachers Hear
 Mrs ". Dean Clark

Children should be taught early in life to cultivate individuality, Mrs W. Dean Clark declared yes- terday at a meeting of the Chase Parent-Teachers association at the Chase school. She read a paper entitled Encouraging Children to Think for Themselves" She stress ed the value of parents always tell ing the truth to their children. Confidence in parents is lost by children when they discover that they are being lied to.
 Mrs Walter Hardisty read a paper entitled Common Faults in Children and What They Mean." Disobedience, she said, shows a lack of trustworthiness while tan trums lead to unpopularity, lack of self control and, oftentimes, physi- cal exhaustion. Rudeness, she add ed, brings about a negativism while fear in a child causes shyness, weakness and digestive irregular ities. Parents may break the habit of prevarication by patience and understanding, she concluded.
 An exhibit of handiwork was conducted, those exhibiting includ- ing Mrs Austin Poirer, Mrs May nard Rogers, Mrs Wilfred Gibson, Mrs A. E. Barron. Mrs John Mraz, Mrs Lewis Robinson and Mrs w. Dean Clark.
