OPPORTUNIST SUCCEEDS AT BRIDGE

The same is true with many
other hands in which good play
will allow you to make a slam
which was not biddabla. A good
player always will take plenty of
time to study hand out be-
fore playing to the first trick.
Let us look at today's hand.
North and South arrive at a
contract of six diamonds. You
can see that, if a spade is opened,
the contract will be DEBATED i'm
mediately.
However, declarer receives a
fortunate opening, the deuce of
clubs, but still the contract is
not made unless North takes ad-
vantage Of the opportunity given
him by his opponents. Therefore,
before playing to that first trick,
declarer should analyze the hand.
He should reason the hand out
along the following lines: West
has bid spades; undoubtedly he
holds the ace of this suit. 1t
will be impossible to try to estab-
lish the heart suit, because there
are not enough entries in dummy.
Therefore, the only hope to make
the contract is to find West with
both ace and queen of spades.
Most players would make the
mistake of discarding the deuce
of hearts on the ace of clubs, fig
uring they are getting rid of los
ing a heart. True enough, they
are, but how about the losing
spades?
The proper play is to discard
the nine of spades on the ace of
clubs and Immediately play a
small spade from dummy. West
has to go in with the queen Of

whose crops get worse and worse

There are thousands of farmers
in this region whose cash income
is less than $50 a year. They live
in huts, and their land is so poor
it will hardly raise vegetables. If
something isn't done, there's moth

Coast waterfront today as the

preached.
At that hour, unless gulf-port
shipping operators agree to accept

last week by Secretary of Labor
Frances Perkins, a boycott against
all gulf ships will become effec'

The boycott warning was con-
tained in an ultimatum issued in

IS ASKED
FOR SCIENCE
RESEARCH

An appropriation of $3.500,000
for scientific research by non-
Governmental institutions during
the next two years and creation
of q permanent science advisory
board are recommended in a re.
port submitted to President
Roosevelt today by Dr. Karl T.
Compton, chairman Of the
Science Advisory Board.
1t is suggested that the pro-
posed permanent board should
be composed of a small group Of
the country's leading scientists
and engineers, ard serve without
compensation under the sponsor
ship of the National Academy Of
Sciences.
Freedom From Politics
I'm the evolution Of our ma.
tional life we have now reached
point where science, and the
research which has discovered
and released its powers. cannot
be left to accidental application"
says the report. Its relations to
our social welfare are constantly
growing more intricate and in
innate"
The report directed attention
to duplication Of effort in exist
ing scientific bureaus Of the Gov
ernment and asserted that free
dom Of scientific work from polit-
ical and policy-making influence
is of prime Importance. The re-
port adds that for technical ad'
vice the Congress and the Execu-
tive Departments should have
ready access to, and should use.
the best talents available within
and without the Government
services.
S3,5OO,OOO Fund Sought
At present, the report points
out, there are many developments
holding definite promise Of i'm
portance industrially, medically
or otherwise in the public in.
terest which a relatively small
amount Of financial support would
release for the stimulation OF in
dustry and commerce, and the
improvement of public health.
In this connection, the report
recommends the appropriation Of
the $3,500,00 by the Federal Gov
ernment for scientific research by
non Governmental instit u t n
during the next two years.

could explain it easily"
"It's too ugly to think
about" said Juliet.
I'm my profession," Won
Guerdon assured her, II cannot
consider any fact Of life ugly.
A fact is just a fact. But to
this extent I agree-it is neither

thing how repreSs1onS run
through underground channels
until you find an outlet. I'm
going to tell you something
confidentially, Madame Hubert
has consulted me about a COM
plete rejuvenation for herself.
I'm afraid we've another Katie
Schmidt on our hands"
A pang of regret stabbed
Juliet. It was all too eerie-
too complicated and creepy. II
Won Guerdon's words were scien-'
tifically true, then whatever
Madame Hubert felt could not
be described by the word love.
It was something else, gro
teSque like a caricature.

"you hadn't told me this. What
do you suppose it will lead to?"
"That I cannot say" he re.

you-you have not heard the
last of it. There is so much,
my Juliet. I could protect you
from, if you would allow me.
You see" here his voice
shook a trifle. "You see, dar-
ling, if I had my way I would
surround you with an armor Of
love that no evil arrows could
penetrate. But you won't listen
to me! I try to tell you the
truth and it's as though you
were stone deaf. I don't want
to take anything away from
you or make you unhappy
just want to give you my whole
life-everything that am and
ever will be-"
"Please!"
Won Guerdon moved toward
his hat and overcoat. "You
won't even let me tell you
what I feel" he said help
leSSly.
Juliet felt her heart melting
like wax. She couldn't prevent
1t. Some quality in his voice
had penetrated her and in an.
other moment the stress would
ring and release tears in her
eyes.
Don't go, please" she said

Won Guerdon stood before
her, thirsting for a little Of
her love and intimacy that
would slake his parched heart.
Plying him, Juliet held both
her hands out to him. It was
true that he appealed to her
sentiment, but he failed to
rouse the sensuous warmth that
O'Hara sometimes stirred.
Misunderstood
IT do wish you were con.

most guiltily.
Won Guerdon drew her hands
together and pressed them to
his chest.

said softly. "You are so sweet
but you don't understand. Be.

He stopped as though no
words existed to express what he
meant. He was brilliant man,
but not capable of defining love
to this slender, fragrant girl
who had, at best, only pity for
him.

q mistake about that girl" he
said. "Your motive is splendid,
Of course, but is she the sort
you ought to have in your
home?"
"She's better off here than
she'd be in the Streets" Juliet
told him succinctly.
'I'm not thinking Of her-I'm
thinking of you"
"Oh, I'm not afraid Of get

need a sort Of maid. Poor little
devil, she never had kindness in
her life"

Having asked the question

stimulated her into a restful

suggestion planted by Madame
Hubert, still troubled her.
If she could not talk conf

because she was lonesome and
tired and keyed up with mani

her.
Won Guerdon leaned back in

stood up.
