Solution to Previous
Contract Problem
BY w. E. M'KENNEY


T RECENTLY had the pleasure Of
j. meeting Coach Jim Crowley Of
Fordham University, whose team
delivered a lot of thrilling football
this year.
Naturally, 1 wanted to talk foot
ball, but Mr. Crowley wanted to
talk bridge. He remarked:
Il suppose you get most Of your
bridge hands from your fan mail"
But is is surprising how few hands
submitted TO me from readers can
be used.
In the first place, most of them
are freak types of hands and, Sec
ond, I believe my readers are more
interested in tournament hands
that are selected from actual play
each day.
However, I did receive two I'M
usual squeeze play hands from NAL
colin G. Thompson, st. Adams,
N. Y. These are two appropriate
football hands, as the tact and
maneuvering required to produce
the extra needed trick reminds me
of the tact and f1nesse used by the
boys on the gridiron, when that
yard is needed for touchdown.
Z Asst opens the queen of dia-
L. monds which IS won in dummy
with the ace, declarer discarding a
diamond.
A small diamond is ruffed and
two more rounds Of trump taken.
East can not let go diamond. or
the suit will be established in dunn
my. Sc he must discard heart
and a spade. South and West do
likewise.
On the next round Of trump, East
is squeezed. He has to discard one
of his jacks He drops the jack of
hearts. Dummy and West also dis
card a heart.
The declarer then plays a heart
and wins in dummy with the ace.
East's king falls. The good king of
diamonds is cashed, West discarding
heart and declarer a spade. Now
diamond is ruffed. West discard
ing a spade.
At this point the declarer plays
the card that produces the triple
squeeze. He plays the last trump

OSCAR OLESEN stepped out
~ from the crowd. Hes right,
boys. We can't win this way" Dan
and Jim and scores of others spoke
up in agreement.
Accept the new plant" Peter
went on. 1T will make your work
less difficult and not a man OF you
will lose his job because of the new
machinery. Ask for more pay if
you feel you are entitled to it. Show
my grandfather that every one who
works should have more than a
living wage. That you are entitled
to some of the comforts and joys
Of life from your efforts. I'm ready
to meet with you, discuss your needs,
and lay your claims before my
grandfather.
You mean you will be for us,
Mr.. Peter?" Oscar said.
For you and for my grandfather.
But I think you have case. I'm
willing to argue for you"
There was a general murmur Of
approval that almost drowned the
scattered cries of, "Turncoat, trait
orSl"
One lone voice shouted, I'VE know
you slick rich folks. Just lot Of
words. We don't want the work tn
begin
Peter said, The work will begin
I'm giving the word now"
The man stepped out Of the crowd
shouting, You are?"
Yes. Try and stop me-"
Lord love us" the old woman
cried to Ann, Listen to im" Anr
was listening with tears Of happi.
ness and pride in her eyes.

'LOVABLE' BY MARY RAYMOND
1913 MEAS Service Inc

Men, we're beginning our work
in a few minutes. You must get to
your places in the building or off
the grounds"
A hoarse yell came from some one.
Tell us some more funny stories.
Who says we must? Who will make
US get off, young ellow?" An angry
rumble, as the human wall swayed
forward.
Ann was crying wildly. Peter,
stop! Leave them alone. Peter"
But her voice was lost in the up
roar.
Hear him." a woman near Ann
Knocked. And the cry was taken up.
Hear him. Get out, will we? Who's
to make us?"
Peter stood quietly, waiting until
the angry crowd quoted. He was
searching the faces about him.
Oscar" he said clearly, I'm sur
prised to see you there. And you,
jim Foster, and you, Dan Walters.
You men who have stood, shoulder
to shoulder, with my grandfather for
70 many years"
TINE crowd was still, but only for
Il a moment. And what did it
get them, young man? What did it
get them?"
Coarse laughter, oaths, hysterical
cries from women.
Ann found herself holding tightly
to the arm of an old woman with a
wrinkled, weatherbeaten face. The
woman said, I've known that boy
since he was knee-high. He's a good
sort"
A good sort. Ann pressed the thin
arm gratefully She knew how good
Peter was. Just as Ann did. It was
bond between them.
Eric Olesen stepped out from the
crowd and faced Peter. He was
haggard. His face was covered by a
beard, his eyes smoldered. Sure
you would blame my father" he
said. you're a Kendall. All you're
thinkin' about is more money for
yourself and kin. More money to
put into machines. You think we
should be grateful for the wages we
get"
Eyes, I think you should be
grateful, Eric" Peter said. They're
better wages than most factory men
draw. None of you have suffered.
You have jobs, food, a shelter for
yourselves and children. That's
more than many men can say
today"
I'VE don't want the new plant"
yelled man. Put the money in
our pay envelopes"
And then a cry, stop talking.
We've had enough of talking. Get
back to town where you belong"
II belong here. I'm Kendall"
During another lull, his voice
came clearly. What do you expect
to gain by this? What can you
gain? Nothing. The work will be-
gin. If you try to stop it by vio-
lence it will be started again. You
can't beat organized law, men. If I
we're killed some one else would be
ready to step into my place"

Philippine Sugar
Shipments Climb

Shipments of raw sugar from
the Philippine Islands to the
United States amounted to 1,194,-
472 long tons, from November l.
1888, to September 30, 1884, an
increase of 1872 per cent when
compared with shipments OF
1901 1874 tons in the similar 1882.
1888 period, according to the
New York Coffee & Sugar EX'

Refined shipments for the
same period totaled 60,412 tons,
an increase of 8.8 per cent when
compared with the previous
period when 55,611 tons were
shipped to this country in a re-
fined state.
However, the total shipments
so far, when converted to short
tons raw value for comparison
with the quota given the Philip
pines for 1884 under the Costi-
gan-Jones act, reveal that 1,310,-
2O6 tons have been shipped COM

sufficient commerce to take care
of the needs of the residents. In
dustry was left col pletely out Of
the schedule.
Probably no other development
in the country-in its price class
has enjoyed the popularity Of
the Sligo Hills and Sligo Valley
communities.
Nearly 100 homes have been sold
there durin, the year and more
than 100 laborers have been kept
steadily at work.
Those country clubs with their
golf courses which occupy 1000 of
Montgomery county's valuable
acres have not been a loss to the
community. They turn in $685..
900 in taxes each year to the
county and State.
High pressure craftsmanship has
never been countenanced in Col
onel Lees developments. People
come out there and see the houses
in the course of construction.
They see the insulated walls, slate
roofs, and metal windows being
literally built into the structure
itself, and they buy the houses.
Statesmen do not have to sell
them.
It is hard to please the young
real estate men-eVen when
things are going well.
j. Merrill Conner, who opened
an office in the Investment Build.
ing last spring to conduct a brok"
erage and property management
business, is one of them.
Mr.. Conner had plenty Of list
ings, he thought, but to his dis
may people started buying them
the first week.
He is all fretted now. Last
week his listings had dropped to
only two houses and they were
sold before the week was ended.

NEW YORK, Oct. 10 GN.S).
Renewed weakness in United
States Government bonds COM
bined with an easier tone in the
stock market had an unsettling
affect on the bond market today.
In the Government list, losses
were moderate but the trend was
definitely toward lower levels.
Treasury IS of 1855 and the Treas
ury IS of 1948 fell below parity,
Treasury 4As also sold lower.
