South felt that it was improb-
able that somebody would not have
a major suit call, and he passed.
Bidding then went: West, 1-Heart;
North, 1-Spade; East, 2-Hearts;
South, diamonds, to show that
he had passed a very powerful
hand; West, 4-Hearts; North, f.
Spades, as there was no hurry.
about supporting partner; South,
Diamonds, as North rather ex.
pected would be the case; West,
5-Hearts; North, Diamonds,
which West doubled, hoping for a,
single heart trick and two club
tricks.
The opening lead was the K of
hearts. Dummy ruffed. The Ace
of spades won the second trick. De-
clarer ruffed a low spade, dropping
Vests ]. Dummy's last trump
rutfed declarer's last heart. The
Ace of spades was led. 1t dropped
all remaining spades. Declarer dis
carded his lowest club. The 10 of
spades was led. East didn't know
whether or not he should ruff. It
did not occur to him that declarer
held eight trumps. He thought that
the doubler certainly held at least
one trump. For that matter, SO
did the declarer, but he had made
up his mind to discard his last club
unless East ruffed.
When East decided to discard his
lowest club, instead Of ruffing, de-
clarer let go his last club, now feel
ing certain of his contract, even If
West ruffed, as expected. To de-
clarer's amazement, West let go
heart, showing that East must hold
the Q-8-5 Of trumps, which would
give the defenders a single dia-.
mond trick, and just permitting
South to fulfill his contract.
The lowest club was led from
dummy. East had to follow suit.
Declarer ruffed with his 9, certain
of his contract, even if the unex.
pected had taken place and West,
not East, held all three missing
trumps. The Ace and K Of trumps
were led, then East was given his
@ of diamonds, but the small slam
was safe. Declarer played the
hand well, but he was fortunate in
. finding partners hand void Of
hearts. He really had no business
to expect to fulfill his contract.
The small slam was better for
North and South than defeating
the heart call would have; been.
Two spade tricks and a. ruff by
South would have beaten West only
single trick. An opening lead Of
diamonds by North would have
given West his 5-odd.

STATE RANKS NOW
AS QUAIL LEADER
Many Sportsmen from 9th
err States Come Here for
Their Hunting
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh Sept. 29.-North Carolina
is now regarded as the leading quail
State in the nation with one of the
largest and best quail crops in it's
history, John D. Chalk, State game
and inland fish commissioner, said
here today. AS result a large num-
Der of sportsmen from other states
are expected to come to North Caro-
lima this fall when the quail season
opens on November 20 than in many
years, Chalk said.
1.-THE quail crop came through last
winter remarkably we'll, in spite of
the severity of the weather, while the
mer was ideaA for Matching and for
rearing the young quail Chalk said.
CAS- a result, we probably have one
of the largest and best quail crops
in the State this year we have ever
had"
Because of the reputation North
Carolina has gained with sportsmen
in other states as an excellent quail
shooting State, a number of nationally
known sportsmen have already writ
ten Director Chalk of their intentions
to visit the State this fall. Among
these is Seth Gordon, executive Sec
rotary of the board of game commits
sioners in Pennsylvania, and former
president of the Wildfire Institute
Gordon was also former State Game
Warden in Pennsylvania, and was
consulted when the first North Caro-
lima Statewide game law was written
and enacted about ten years ago. He
will have a chance to see how well
this law has worked, Chalk pointed
out.
Because conditions for the rearing
of quail. are more favorable in North
Carolina than in other states, the sea-
son here is longer, extending from
November 20 to February Is, Chalk
said. In. New York state no quail
shooting is permitted except in five
counties and then only from Novem-
Der 1 to Is, with a daily bag limit Of
four birds and season limit of only
ten.

TARIFF WORKS BOTH WAYS
Tariff protection?
Protection is a very nice thing for
a producer who is trying to keep for
eign competition out of his home
market.
1t isn't SO nice for a producer, who
must puy ir h;gh-priced, protected
market, but must sell for export, at
world prices.
The American manufacturer has
been in the former fix ever since this
country has become strongly indus
tria1ized.
The American farmer has been in
the latter fix, buying at high prices
in protected market, and selling
for export at what he can get.
The American manufacturer always
has been very liberal with crop pro-
lection, knowing that the farmer can't
benefit by import taxation. Let the
farmer" he has insisted, "have all he
wants of it"-knowing that it can do
him no good.
