The two good hearts in dummy were
caShed, two clubs being discarded.
Declarer then led the good ten of
diamonds. Regardless of what West
did, the losing club was discarded.
If West trumped with the jack,
declarer won the last trick with the
seven, while if West refused to
trump, the ten held the trick.
And so all that the double did
was to mark West with the ace of
hearts and the trump, which in
formation gave the declarer the play
to make the hand.

The declarer led a small spade
and finessed the ten, which held.
Now three rounds of trump we're
taken, declarer discarding three
clubs from dummy.
The jack of diamonds followed
and was overtaken in dummy with
the queen. The king Of hearts was
played. West went right up with
the ace, but the declarer trumped
with the three of spades.
North then cashed the ace of dia-
monds and played a small diamond,
winning in dummy with the king.

Solution to PreUiOUS
Contract Problem
BY w. f. M'KENNEY

SECRETARY ahAHNAANah DAANrN
WHY will a person persist in
w doubling a six contract just
because he has a handful of
trump? DO you realize that, if
your opponents arrive at a six
contract that can not be made, they
are in a very bad spot and 1T is
not necessary to double?
You probably will receive top on
the board without the double. If you
do double. you may give them just
the information they need to make
the hand.
A good rule to use with regard
to doubling slam contracts is, You
must have two optional ways to
set the contract"
Today. with Vests holding, you
may say, Well, I will make my
ace of hearts and at least a trump
trick" But suppose you do not
make your ace of hearts. You can
not count on making two trump
tricks on that holding against a
six bid. Therefore, you should not
double.
EAST'S opening lead was the king
L Of clubs, which the declarer
won in dummy with the ace.
East's opening lead with the king
marked him with the queen, there
fore. the declarer knew that West
did not hold the ace, king, queen or
lack of clubs and none of the top
hOnOrs in diamonds.
The only thing West could hold
with which to double would be a

land those inclined to be fat brought
it back, saying they could not use it
because it made them gain weight.

DR.. Carver said after drawing off
the emulsion he made tests and then
used it in the treatment of two young
boys-one Is and the other 14-who
had suffered from infantile paralysis.
Improvement was noted early in
the tests, pink returned to the skin,
and the muscles increased in size by
actual measurements. After the nine

To my fellow human beings:
From the death cell of the Oregon
State Penitentiary | an innocent
man condemned to hang. appeal to
you. | have committed no crime
that | should even be arrested much
less murdered on the gallows. This
''lynching" sponsored by the South
ern Pacific Railway Company and its
servants, must be stopped thru the
medium of your immediate and de-
cisive intervention or it is a matter
of only a few more days until | meet

fairness. In short, it was a Roman
holiday in its entirety, for | was ar
rested thru the instrumentality of
w. G. Chandler, the special agent for
the Southern Pacific, and delivered
to the authorities for speedy exc
cution. 1t was his intention, as is
always the case with both him and his
kind, that | be indicted, tried sent
enced, and execute all within one day.
This is the law of the Southern Pa
cific Lines and it is administered with
impressive dignity as a grim and
terrible object lesson to all workers.

take my life in spite of my innocence,

initiated the judicial program" car
ried out their instructions on the well
known policy that "a Negro has no
rights which a white man is bound to
respect" Therefore. as a natural con-
sequence, | am now scheduled to hang
when | have every reason and right
to live the same as my fellcwman.
Even the dissenting Justices of the
five-to-two decision which condemns
me to death said:
