Clayton Print Is School Gilt
John NJ. Clayton, Secretary OF
State under two Presidents, was ac-
claimed as the greatest Delawarean
by former Congressman Robert G.
Houston, of Georgetown, at exer-
cises held in the John NJ. Clayton
School last Friday night when a
daguerrreotype of Clayton was pre-
sented to the school by Morgan T.,
Gum, of Frankford, and John Trice
Hyatt of Wilmington.
MIR. Houston has made a particu-
lar study of the renowned Delaware
statesman, his interest having been
nurtured by the fact that Mr.. Hous-
toms uncle, the late Judge John II.
Houston. studied law under Clay
ton.
About 500 persons. attended the
exercises. The Clayton School is
near DagsborO, the birthplace of
Clayton and near the scenes of the
statesman's youthful playground.
The daguerreOtVpe. large for that
type of photography, had been OBJ
tanned by Mr.. Hyatt, secretary of
the Delaware Society of the Cincin-
natl and formerly member of the
State Archives Commission, from
the late Judge Henry c. Conrad who
had purchased it. at a sale of the
effects of a daughter of the late
Chief Justice Joseph P. COmegys, a
close friend and biOgrapher of Clay

can not take it back.
In today's hand, with the king of
diamonds opened, it looks as though
the declarers only entry into dunn
my is knocked out-and it would
be, if he won the first trick with
the ace.
COUTHS three bid asks his part
~ ner to show his highest ace. OF
course, if North held the ace OF
trump, he should show that before
his highest ace. Not having an ace,
North's proper response would be
three no trump, but he showed the
ace of diamonds with his bid of
four diamonds.
When South bids five diamonds
he asks his partner if he holds the
king of diamonds. Without the
king of diamonds, North should
simply sign the hand off with five
spades
However, in this case, he can bid
five hearts, as he holds the king of
hearts. This information may prove
valuable to South
South, even though he did not
hold the ace of hearts himself, would
know that his partner was not
showing the ace, because if he held
the ace of diamonds and ace of
hearts. the heart ace would have
been bid first.
Having located the king of hearts
and ace of diamonds in the North
hand. South felt that his two los
ing diamonds could be discarded
and a slam could be made so he
rightly bid it.
INVEST opened the king of dia-
/ w mondS. If we win that trick
with the ace, We are not going TO
be able to get into dummy to use
the king of hearts. Therefore
South must employ rather an un-
usual holdup-he must refuse to
win this diamond trick.
The hand is now made. If West
continues with a diamond. the de-
clarer will win the second diamond
and will be able to trump the los
ing diamond in dummy with the
eight of spades; while if West
switches to a spade, the declarer
Will pick up the trump and cash
his ace of hearts.
He will then enter the dummy
with the ace of diamonds and dis
card the losing diamond on the
