Rifle.

THERE are great many different
kinds of rifles-almost as many
as there are countries.
Among them We have the French
Minnie, the Enfield, the Armstrong
and the WhitWorth.
All these rifles are distinguished
from one another chiefly in the nature
of their bores or grooves; indeed, il
is in this connection that we have
the origin itself of the generic term
rifle for this type of weapon.
The English word rifle is derived
from the German 'reiflen." to chan
mel or hollow into tubes.

When the above hand was played
North not only ended up at six hearts,
but he failed to make his contract.
Six hearts, of course. is ridiculously
easy. A club is opened, taken by the
ace and the ace of diamonds played.
North ruffs a club on the board, dis
cards his other club on the king of
diamonds and plays the jack of hearts,
letting it ride.
The best bidding, to my mind, is:
North. East. South. West.

West presumably opens the king of
clubs. Dummy takes. The declarer
discards heart from his own hand,
cashes the ace of diamonds and ruffs
club. He then plays the king of dia-
monds, discarding the last losing club
from the board. A heart is played and
another heart led back, trumped by

hand. The eight Of spades is over
taken by the nine and another heart
trumped with the jack Of spades. As
the final gesture. South leads the king
of spades and overtakes with the ace.
From that point on dummy is high.
There are other methods Of playing

new TRAFFIC
PLAN ON TRIAL
Scheme to Cut Cheating on
Amber Lights Is Tried
Out Here.

Viewing the amber traffic warn
ing signal as a more or less spurious
court abb for drivers who have
been parties to traffic accidents, the
Police Department has put into OPP
Grafton a new scheme.
Capt. Lewis johnson said too
many drivers insist they crossed in
tersectionS on the amber light and
thus had the right of way. So, at
several intersections, as an expert
ment, amber warning signals have
been replaced by red lights.
Thus, before green, or go, sig
nal changes to red, the center red
signal lights for a few seconds, along
with the green, just as the amber
light does at ordinary intersections.
The new plan is in operation at
New York and West SITS, Michigan
and West-sts, 38th-st and Washing
ton-blvd, Shelby-st and Pleasant
Run-blvd and at Shelby-st and
Fletcher-av.
Capt. johnson said he hoped the
system would prove workable.
Thus far, his hopes had not been
borne out, as several rowing police
squads telephones the Gamewell De-
partmert to report the lights "out
of order"

Biddeford, Me-, August 24-(UP) Cloutier, 25-year.old sawmill hand, continued to protest his innocence today as he awaited arraignment on a irst-degrce mur- der charge in the death of 17-year. old Florence Grenier, who had spurned his love.
 The battered body of the blonde mill worker was unearthed from a shallow grave near Goodwins mill yesterday after she had been miss. ing since Tuesday. Her skull and jaw were fractured, and c coro- ner's report showed she had been .bludgeoned to death, apparently while resisting criminal assault.
 Cloutier, slim and dark-haired, collapsed early last night after he had viewed the body on an under- takers slab and had been ques. toned exhaustivcly. But police were unable to wrest from him any admissions concerning the girls fate.
 During the night the suspect was transferred to York county jail here from nearby Biddeford, where an excited crowd had milled around police headquarters. Police denied, however, that this move was made to avert a threatened lynching.

STATE FEATURES
 EXPERT PRODUCTS
Eastern States Exposition Opens in Hartford, Sept. IS

Hartford-"Wooden Nutmegs' that made Connecticut famous as an exporting state more than a century ago, will be relegated fur ther into the background at the Eastern States Exposition from September 15 to 21, inclusive. The Connecticut state exhibit this year will feature the four principal agricultural products of the state that now go to practically all parts of the country.
 Connecticut, where the commer- cial seed industry first started, has two of the five largest seed firms in the country. One-third of the seventy-five foot exhibition space will be devoted to the development of the seed industry in Connecticut while the remaining two sections will feature the nursery products and the flower industry. The fourth section will be devoted to the Con- necticut tobacco industry, featuring Connecticut wrapped cigars.
 Few people realize that one of the largest greenhouses in the east is located in Connecticut. Few peo- pie appreciate the fact that Con- nectieut seedsmen are noted for their consistently high-quality seed. Few people know that the famous J. H. Hale peach was developed on Connecticut soil by a Connecticut man. The nurserymen. florists and seedsmen have many other bits of interesting information which will be unfolded this year at the exposi- ton under the direction of Com- missioner of Agriculture Olcott F. King.
 Commissioner King finds that beautiful exhibits that have only an aesthetic appeal have no practical place in times such as we are fac- ing. He feels that Connecticut in its exhibit should endeavor to tell a story which will mean dollars to the people of Connecticut. Conse- quently he has gone after and se- cured the cooperation of those inc terests which have q definite prod uct to export.
