 said, few days ago, that the average player was inclined to take entirely too many illnesses. I do not mean, by that, that the finesse is not an important factor in te play of the hand. There are times when it is necessary to take a finese, even though you have singleton.
 Take for example, today's hand, which was played by Jeff Click of Cleveland, a member of the Ohio team tha recently captured the national knockout team of four championship of the American Bridge league, and is now rated twenty first on the national mas 'ters' list.
 Mir Click plays a daring and courageous game. If he finds him. self in contract that is doubtful and there is a possible chance of making it, he believes in taking that chance, even though he may go down an extra trick or two.

La GUARD|A MOVES|
FOR CITY ECONOMY
New York Mayor Acts to
Use Powers Given by

Legislature.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 11.-Mayor
Fiorello H. La Guardia swung into
action today to make every possible
slash in city expenditures under the
powers given the city administration
by the economy bill, which finally
became law yesterday after weeks Of
compromise and deadlock.
Within half an hour after Gov.
Herbert H. Lehman signed the bill,
the mayor had the Board of Estimate
in executive session, out of which
came two speedily passed resolutions,
one imposing payless furloughs on all
city employees except judges and
teachers, and the other providing for
as10 per cent reduction in the budget
Of county offices.
IA IL Million to Be Saved.
I The work of attempting to balance
the budget will be continued today
when the mayor will present to the
Board of Estimate q schedule of pay
reductions affecting employees In all
departments directly answerable to
the mayors office
Eleven million dollars will be saved
by the payless furloughs and about
half q million in the economies in
county Offices. The deficit in the city
budget is more than s31 ZOO. 900. It
was expected that the economy bill
as it was originally presented to the
Legislature would take care of the
whole deficit, but it is now generally
admitted the changes and restric-
tions made in it before its final pas
sage will make necessary new taxes
before the budget is balanced.
AI Furloughs Are Planned.
As a result of the bills passage
bankers accepted yesterday $780,
600 in special city revenue bonds. It
was the first loan they have made
the city since they issued their ulti-
natum last Fall that city finances
must be placed ON a solvent basis.
It Is planned to impose payless
furloughs upon the teachers as a
further economy move as soon as the
necessary legislation can be pushed
through the Legislature.
