THoUcHTLEss CRUELTY

A news dispatch tells of Teresa
Corona, IA years old and six feet tall, who
ran away from school and home to get
away from the ridicule of her fellow
pupils. Thoughtlessly her associates made
her the victim of heartless tragedy.
It was hard enough to bear the self
consciousness and embarrassment which
the child's abnormal size made inescap-
able, but those who made her burden
greater by their derision were unspeakably
cruel.
Thousands of instances like this oc-
cur, where some physical defect or
peculiarly of sensitive persons is used as a
pretext to torture them with unkind re-
marks which cut to the quick. We read
some time ago of young girl who finally
committed suicide because she had been
driven to desperation by ridicule of her
family name, which had a suggestive
meaning to evil-minded persons.
Children will seize upon such oppor-
tunities to harass their associates, some
times in spirit of fun, but often with
vicious intent. While most parents would
disapprove of such conduct, many do not
take the trouble to explain to their chill
dren how cruel it is, or appeal to their bet
ter natures to induce them to refrain from
it.
Unnecessary infliction of mental suf-
fering is as bad or worse than the inflic-
ton of physical pain, and children should
be earnestly admonished to avoid both
forms of cruelty.

INVEST cashes the king, queen
w and ace of spades, and on the
third round of spades East drops
the seven of diamonds.
West shifts to the eight of dia-
monds. Now. is it hard to figure
out where the king of diamonds is?
With Vests holding in spades, if he
also held the king of diamonds,
don't you think he might, at some
time, have entered the bidding?
East also has made a diamond
call in his discarding, so you know
that if you play small diamond,
your contract is going to be de-
feated.
You can reason, however, if East
holds the queen of clubs, your con-
tract can be made. Therefore, the
hand should be played as follows:
Go up with the ace of diamonds,
lead out al the hearts, discarding all
the diamonds and the four Of clubs
and leaving only the ace, king and
jack of clubs in dummy.
On the last trump led you will
find East is squeezed. He can not
hold the king of diamonds and
three clubs. If he lets go Of the
king of diamonds declarer's queen
will be good.
If he drops club, dummy's three
clubs will take the remaining tricks.

Solution to Previous

Secretary American Bridge League

THE next time you hear a player,
Il who has just had a bad session
at bridge. say, We'll, all my illnesses
went wrong today" you Just say to
yourself, he probably took twice as
many illnesses as he should have.
Remember that a finesSe only has
a so per cent chance of winning,
unless the bidding indicates which
hand holds the high cards.
You can not be winning player
if you work on so per cent prob
abilities. You should always look
for plays that give you at least a 81
per cent chance of winning. You
therefore resort to the fineSSe only
when no other play will give you
your contract.
Another reason why many players
take losing illnesses is because they
do not listen to the bidding.
Take, for example, today's hand.
After North's bid of one no trump,
Souths bid of two hearts is forcing.
But when North bids two no trump,
if South only bids three hearts, he
