of clubs, but Mrs Hamilton, hnv- ing the opening lead, reasoned us follows-"Tho dec1arer has a lot of trumps. have the spade suit stopped, and what I'd better try to do is to establish trick in my hand right away, so that, when my partner or I do get in. we can cash q heart trick in addition to the club tricks"
 And that's exactly what hap pened, youll notice, if you follow the hand through.
 If club is led, West will cash the ace and king of clubs and re- turn q club, but it will be ruffed in dummy with the ten spot. Now declarer will lead q diamond to- ward tho queen, return to her 4fand with n spade, run off all the trump tricks and East will not be able to protect both the king of hearts and her four spades. As a result, five odd will be made.
 However, if the king of hearts is opened, there Is no way to pre- vent the opposition from taking two clubs and Q heart trick, which defeats contract.

Sir Hari showed himself as a

fashioned. He was advanced in
that in 1927 by decree he abol-

He was fashioned in that, like
his predecessor, he resisted the at

through his domains. He wanted

station. One of his costumes is
Jet black with a turban ablaze
with precious emeralds and dia-
monds. Then he wears Turkish
shoes upturned at the toes. This
footwear is also sewn with dia-
mOndS.
Around his neck and ankles he
wears strings of pearls that are
simply beyond price. To the ma

Not Like the old Days

4 that is to blame but your correspondent ia
beginning to suspect that departmental press agent
with httle-boy love of detective stories has been
active at the Department of Justice 1t was not like
this in the days of William j. Burns and William J.
Flynn Mr. Burns and Mr.. Flynn liked the publicity
TO be sure. Mr. Burns was heavy-set detective of
the old, hat-toot type who got interviewed by the
hour on his exploits in the Los Angeles Times case
and other achievements regarding which he
was accused OF false mOdeSty. Mr. Flynn was slightly
less aggressive but he was by tongue cited
and it was generally possible to draw him out to
the extent Of few thousand words
But the Department of Justice in their days did
not concern itself except in casual way with the
apprehension of criminals accused of leaving horse
without htchingpug, throwing trash on the lawn
in the park or busting the Widow McCarthys parlor
WINDOW with foul ball in a game of old cat.
They were not gadget sleuths and their method Of
dealing with man supposed to be bad to take

They had big strong hands, we'll suited to this work.

The Decision Was Proper

public opinion Newspapers deluged with letters
from readers who pointed out the obvious fact that
Alabama Pitts had paid the penalty for his OffenSe

start again with a clean slate r. was argued that
not only was ms simple justice TO the man but that

might be forced into anti-sOcial conduct Why

In my opinion every single one Of these points
was quite correct. but fortunate for Pitts that
ne happened tO possess a talent for baseball Had he
been a plumber. a tcamstcr a reWrite man the
community would never have become Sc aroused in
his behalf. The same newspapers and the same
readers who took up the for Alabama Pitts re-

was a marked reaction and many stern mOralistS
said that Warden LaWCs should be removed and that
it was monstrojIs that supposedly under punish

These voices are lost in the roar of the Albany
