Contract Problem
BY w. E. M'KENNNEY


THERE are two types of bridge
Il players, the money players and
the tournament players. Peculiar
as it may seem, many fine tourna-
ment players are not exceptionally
big money players, and a good
money player doesn't always make a
good tournament player.
David BurnStine has won for him.
self the title of outstanding tourna-
ment player of the country for the
last three years. Whenever he en-
tiers a tournament, it is safe to bet
that he will finish among the first
five and, generally, you'll find him
on top.
Even in his worst games you will
never find him, at the end of the
Tournament, with score below av-
ere &c.
Since he and his teammates won
the Vanderbilt tournament in New
York recently, they have discussed
the possibility of disbanding their
team. as they believe it is too strong
and diScourageS other teams from
entering the contests.
Mr.. Burnstein is a very accurate
and careful player. Here's nice
squeeze play he made in a recent
championship tournament:
INVEST opened the ace of dia-
w rmonds to prevent the discard
of a possible singleton diamond on
a spade When the ace held, West
continued with the queen of dia-
monds, which Mr.. Burnstine won in

Scientist Finds New
Dive Hits Cancer Cells

New York.-Phloxine, a dye close
ly related to ordinary mercuro-
chrome, which when irradiated with
actual, or artificial sunlight, can
destroy cancer cells and leave GER
tain types Of normal cells un-
harmed, recently has been an
nounced by John f. Menke, an en-
bryologist, Of Carnegie institution.
To date, however, the principle has
been applied only to cultures of can
cerous cells outside the body.
When a small amount of the un-
irridated dye was added to the
blood which formed food for the
cells in culture, the cancer cells
were unaffected until after having
been subjected to sunlight, or strong
light. Menke reports that when liv-
ing cancer cells IN the culture
media which contained the dye
were subjected to light for five nrin-
utes they died. Coincidentally, the
healthy normal cells forming the
structure of the cancer tissue were
unharmed and remained alive.
This dye absorbs the light and
becomes activated," Menke ex-
planned. In this activated condi.
ton the dye produces chemical
changes in the protoplasm of the
cancer cells, which cause the cells
to die" Why the frradiated dye is
fatal to cancer cells and non-injUri.
Gus to certain of the normal cells Is
not known.
