West opened the queen OF diamonds.
Dummy won with the ace and East's
singleton king dropped. While the
usual method Of playing a trump suit
of this type Is firs, to play the ace
then to lead the jack from dummy
and flnesse, this particular hand was
the exception to the rule, as the de-
clarer could see that he would have
to trump both his losing spade and
fourth club in dummy.
Mr.. Marks first step was to play the
ace-king Of spades and ruff his re-
naming spade in dummy. He next
played his three Top clubs, then led
the remaining club. When West failed
to follow, he was able TO trump small
in dummy, and now attempted to
count the opponents distribution. The
opening lead had marked West with
five diamonds. In addition, he had
shown three clubs and three spades
West therefore held at most two
hearts, which did not include the
queen, as he had not trumped the
fourth round OF clubs.
Declarer now led the jack of hearts
from dummy and when that held the
trick, he followed with the ten When
East covered with the queen, Mr..
Marx went up With the king and
simply played his losing diamond and,
as he then held ten-ace in trumps
over East, the contract YVES made.
While Mr.. Marks line OF play
would not have succeeded had West
held the singleton queen OF trumps.
the ODDS were considerably against
that being the case. Please note that
mad declarer made the usual play Of
first laying down the ace of hearts. he
would have been forced to lose

They are unusual for several reasons.
They are the sturdiest mems gloves ever

believes in them that he says they
will wear ten years. The purchaser OF
these gloves is invited to, after five
years wear, return them to the factory
for complete rejuvenating without cost.
the price is about $685.. For gloves that
will wear ten years, I say that is not
bad.

Good First Aid for
Fractures SaUe LiUes

Storms and icy roads increase the
danger of automobile injuries on the
highways.
Since the majority of these injuries
involve broken bones, physician men,
bars of the committee on public health
education Of the Minnesota State Medi-
cal Association again point out the
dangers involved in improper first aid
for fracture victims in bulletin issued
today.
The first impulse of most of the
bystanderS at the scene OF any ac-
cident is to drag the injured person 10
the road side or thrust him into an
automobile and rush him away. The
result of such handling according to the
physicians, is often to convert a simple
fracture into serious, gravely infected
compound fracture. 1t may mean the
death or the permanent Gripping OF
the patient.
The first thing to do, in case Of an
accident on the highway involving the
possibility Of broken bones, is to cover
the victim warmly. He should be al
lowed to remain quietly where he has
fallen, then, until someone with proper
emergency splints arrives to move him
If there is bleeding, the procedure
learned by every well instructed Boy
Scout can be followed at the scene OF
the accident. If the wound is on the
head, pressure against it with a clean
bandage will usually control the bleed
ing. If it is on an arm or leg, a
tourniquet tied tightly above the wound
will usually control it until help arrives

One Duluth operator alone shipped

All trees sold in Minnesota, whether
they originate in the state or not, must
carry the conservation department tag.
Any trees sold without this tag are
bootleg and the seller is liable to
arrest and prosecution under the state
Christmas tree law. The money de-
rived from the sale of these two cent
tags is used to supervise cutting oper-
atoms, according to good forestry prac-
tlce, and serves to prevent a flooded
market, with the resultant waste.
One requirement of the law is that
the legal description OF the land on
which trees are cut must be reported to
the conservation department, thereby
protecting both the state and private
lands against the raids of tree thieves
and bootleg cutters. The report must
show that the cutter has the owners
permission to cut trees, and that the
land is not tax delinquent.
Permits to cut trees on state and
tax delinquent lands are handled by the
forestry division Of the conservation de-
partment in the same manner as regu-
lar timber sales.

Area Recruiting District
EnListing Men for Army.

Sergeant Henry Circura, stationed at
Virginia, states that the roll is still
open and cites some Of the advantages
of enlistment in the U. S. Army. Ser
geant Circura says in his letter 10 the
Miner:
The U. S. Army is accepting quite a
few young men for enlistment from this
vicinity at the present time. The train
ing they receive while serving viii be
to their advantage when they again
return to civil life, if they do not de-
sire to remain in the military service
The following are some of the reasons
why young man should enlist in the
Army and the opportunities afforded
him:
He enjoys the feeling of security
which results from an assured and
regular income If he chooses to re-
main in the service and retire after
thirty years, he can face the prospect
of old age with confidence, knowing
that his needs will be well provided for.
The means are provided whereby he
may improve his technical training and
general education.
He doesn't lose any time because of
bad weather or sickneSs-the pay goes
on just the same.
He doesn't worry about the cost Of
clothing, food or rents. He gets his
clothing, his three square meals day,
and comfortable. healthful home.
Neither does he worry about doc
tors bills nor dentists bills-Uncle Sam
pays them.
His service will take the humps out
of his back, broaden his shoulders,
deepen his chest, develop and train his
muscles and his mind; in brief, it will
make him a more capable and useful
man.
If he wants to see the world he will
sooner or later have the opportunity
on full pay and with travel expenses
paid by Uncle Sam.
If he desires to remain in the SER
vice, there is room at the top for the
capable and ambitious

CURING TEMPER TANTRUMS.

In her book called Family Behavior
Bess Cunningham tells of a child whose
temper tantrums were lessened by a
curious procedure. The child's mother
announced TO the four-year-old that
thereafter she would be allowed one
temper explosion a day, no more. She
suggested that in view Of this, the child
had better choose carefully the oc-
caSions on which she got angry. That
this original method worked, by de-
creasing the number of manifestations
of anger, sounds almost incredible, but
Now my guess is that this four-year-
old was, first of all, an intelligent
child. Otherwise she would not have
been very receptive 10 the idea, would
not have understood what it was all
about. My next guess is that her
mother was a person who depended a
good deal on a humorous approach 10
her child's problems, that she was not
deadly serious about minor things, but
saw them in their proper perspective
Now temper tantruns, or rather, their
results IN habits, are not minor things
But by helping her child to see that
some occurrences are worth getting
angry at while others are not. this
mother was helping the little girl TO
get a wider view Of her own behavior
Probably she had to ask the child,
sometimes, when she started to show
temper-"LS this worth spending your
whole allowance OF anger for the day
on?" This evidently called the child's
attention away from her own feelings.
