Conquering Contract
BY P. HAL SIMS.

ace of diamonds is definite. Does
East hold four or five clubs to the
jack, 10. or does he hold a singleton
spade and length in diamonds?
The play of the ace of clubs re-
lieves the declarer's mind in one re-
spect. East doesn't hold five clubs
Then the other possibility is tested
When the queen and jack of spades
drop on the third lead East is placed
pretty definitely with four clubs to the
jack, 10. In the meantime, North
has guarded ainst that by trumping
the third spade with the nine of clubs
The eight of clubs is led. If East re-
fuses to cover. North lets it ride. No
matter what East does, however, the
next play is the king of diamonds
East wins with the ace and preSum-
ably returns another heart. North
painlessly extracts East's last two
trumps and claims the rest of the
tricks.
Had North trumped the third spade
with the deuce of clubs the contract
could not have been made. All East
has to do is to cover Norths nine of
clubs with his jack in order to block
the suit.

THE TORCH AND THE CANDLE
HAVE BEEN IMPORTANT IN
LIGHTING THE NIGHT.

HAVE BEEN IMPORTANT IN
LIGHTING THE NIGHT.
Torches were in use among the
olden Romans. and in England, dur
ing the time of Shakespeare, they
provided light for plays given in thea
ters. The theater torches which
Shakespeare knew were in general
''rushlights"; they were made from
reeds or ruSheS taken from marshes.
The rushes were peeled and the pith
was soaked in melted wax, or in oil
taken from fat meat.
Long after the death of Shake
speare people who went outdoors at
night lighted their way with torches.
Sometimes boys or men were hired to
carry torches as they marched ahead
of groups of people, going from place
to place at night.
We have some reason to say that
the candle grew out of the torch.
SplinteTs of wood, or pieces of reed,
were placed in the midst of wax or
fat meat, and formed what we might
call "torch candles"
twenty-five hundred years ago
Phoenician traders had wax candles
among their wares. We are not GER
tain that the wax was taken from
honeycombS of bees; it may have
been q waxy product of certain plants.
Greeks, Hebrews, Romans and
other people made use of candles, as
well as the crude oil lamps without
chimneys, which we have described.
During the Middle Ages the use
Of candles was widespread in Western

In Bitterroot Valley, where the de-
preston separates the Bitterroot
Mountains from the Rockies for dis

Torch and Candle.

A BURNING stick lifted from
bonfire was very likely the first
torch, but as time went on men
learned to make torches of other
kinds.
A pine knot will burn long while,
and Stone Age folk probably used
many torches with such knots at the
end. The more resin there is in
wood the more brightly it will burn.
Early men are believed to have rolled
resin into balls and to have placed
the balls on sticks, thus forming ex-
cellent torches.
