Is, however, possible that further in

the chromium deposits is such that the
Montana bureau of mines and geology
sent a field party into the region last
summer to study the chromium belt
and q report on this important Mon

An unusual feature of the Montana
deposits is that they are almost iden-
tical with similar deposits in South
Africa. Similar geologic features Of the
Montana and African regions led the
eastern scientists to prospect for plat
mum and nickel. The chromium de-
posts have been well known for more
than 20 years.
Failure to mine Montana chromium
ores successfully Is due chiefly to lack
Of knowledge Of the extent Of the de-
posits, coupled with metallurgical prob
lens and with competition from for
eign sources for the somewhat limited
market. ="
Included in the report is a warning
to the public to have platinum assays
made only by chemists Of high sand
ing and experienced in that tyne Of
assay work. Novel and secret" methods
OF analysis Of ore for the platinum

ing except as a means of showing
my boy friend that I can get other
dates. No love making occurred,
but my fiance won't believe it. First
1 felt abused and now he feels
abused. These aren't isolated Incl
dents, but fair sample of what goes
on all the time. Yet we love each
other, or think we do. Can you tell
me what is wrong? ELSA.
Answer-Easily. You are more in
love with yourselves than with each
other. You wish to live in self
centered felicity and will not yield
a point to contribute to another's
comfort. You wish to take without
giving, to be considered without the
annoyance of considering. In other
words. you haven't learned to CO.
operate.
My guess is that each of you
was the undisputed boss of his
own nursery. Back there when
you should have been learning the
technique of give and take, all
you learned was take.
Love and aftect1On were given you
without effort on your part. Your
shortcomings were forgiven No
contribution to harmonious family
life was expected of you.
Face $the fact that you can't go
on living on nursery level. No set
up in after life is ever quite the
same. No one will idolize you as
your parents did. Instead of pre-
pairing you for marriage, they have
done their utmost to spoil you for it.
Sooner or later you must learn
to adjust your infexible ego to
anOther's and you might as well
begin with your present boy
friend.
I do not mean that you must do
all the adjusting. Your fiance is
quite wrong to ignore you at a party.
He need not stick to you like
Siamese twin, but ordinary courtesy
requires him to look after his own
guest during the evening.
Probably it wasn't the fact that
you had date with his friend
that irritated your lover so much

Solution to Previous
Contract Problem
BY w. E. M'KENNEY

Secretary American Bridge League
EXPERTS often find them
~ selves in embarrassing situa-
tons, especially when playing
with weak partners. Most people,
when playing with an expert, ex-
pect him to do the impossible.
Look at today's hand. This &C
tually happened in rubber game.
AS soon as North responded
with one heart over his partners
one diamond, no attempt was
made to find out whether he held
a f1ve-card suit. South irnmedi-
ately bid six hearts just because
he was playing with an expert.
To make the story good, North
went out and made six hearts.
If club had been opened, the
contract would have been defeat
ed easily, but East opened his jack
of spades, which was won in
dummy with the ace.
This now brings out a very
good point. What should West
do? He holds the queen of spades.
Should he tell his partner about
this by playing high spade?
The beginner at contract often
