 And this dollar devaluation! That's just confiscation! By cut ting down by 40 per cent the amount of gold in a dollar, it's just like. slicing 40 per- cent off every debt.

Good Evening.
A WORD TO THE WISE
ai1 Aallil sY THE MAN IN rHE rowER

Now is the time to take stand On that Christmas shopping; Get some system before you start Or from your list you'll be dropping. Some special friend or relative perhaps And that would surely never do; So get notebook, budget your money, Or you're sunk, that's too true. Start right in on the family, Proceed to each relative and friend, Eliminate those who overlooked you Last year and to them just send. A card this year, that's enough, But get out and do your shopping Early and then you won't have to do Last minute exchanging and swapping.

CONTRACT BRIDGE
Slam Made Against Odds s- North With Nine Solid Tricks, Must Work Squeeze When He Finds Not One
 Suit Breaks For Him.
61 WW. E. WCNENNE1 Secretary of the American Bridge league
Solution to Previous Contract
 Problem

Solution to Previous Contract
 Problem
 The 18th of this series of IS playing problems by Henry F.. Jaeger employs a simple squeeze play.
 It would appear that North, the declarer, should have no trouble in making his contract of six odd. However, it is unfortunate that the spade suit will not break, as West has control. East has control of the hearts and diamonds, while Ibe- tween East and West, they have control of the club suit.
 But the declarer, during the play of the hand, can get a good count on tho East hand, and still make his contract.
 I do not like original no trump bids with a singleton. However, North has 150 aces, cold tricks, and you can hardly blame him for wanting to tell his partner about sill those high card tricks.
 A forcing two bid would perhaps answer the purpose better and as- sure a slam contract. With the original bid of three no trump, it is just fortunate that South kept the bidding open. North's jump to six no trump might be termed op- timistic.
 The Play
 Against a six no trump contract East. opens the four of diamonds. A club is discarded from dummy and North, the declarer, wins the
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-08-16

trick with the queen. He now takes two rounds of hearts. When West drops the jack, 1t warns him that the heart suit will not break.
 The ace and king of spades are cashed, and on the second spade, East shows out, discarding a dia. mond. Declarer then cashes the ace and king of diamonds, dis carding two clubs from dummy. West shows out on the second dia- mond, discarding a spade.
 Now the declarer knows that East holds two hearts, two dia- monds, and two clubs. He tries to drop the king of clubs by leading the ace, but this play does not work. So now the six of spades is led. East has to let go dia- mond.
 The trick is won with dummy's jack. The queen of spades is re- turned, declarer discarding the deuce of diamonds.
 East is squeezed-if he lets go the king of clubs. dummy's queen is good. If he lets go a heart, North will win both heart tricks. And if he lets go the jack of dia- monds. declarer's six of diamonds will be good
 In any case, the small slam con tract will be made.
