The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-05-26

The costs or the new n1gnWay, the most stupendous one ever contem- plated by Connecticut, will be spread over the next ten years, as no ap- propriation is provided for in the bill as presented to the senate to- day. The state highway commits sioner is merely authorized to pro- ceed with it's construction.
 The road will extend from the end of the Merritt Memorial Highway in Fairfield county in a general north easterly direction to Union close by the Massachusetts border. The west ern terminus of the road is in the town of Trumbull. It will be the first complete cross-state highway ever built by this state. Its nearest point to Waterbury will be in the town of Hamden.
 State Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald is authorized to pro- ceed with surveys and plans, as well as details connected with acquisi- ton with the many miles of right of way that will be necessary where new roads must be built.
 Lone Dissenter
 Senator George T. Culhane of Waterbury unsuccessfully opposed the passage of the fair-trade act in the senate today. The bill provides that no store may sell articles at a cost below that fixed by the manu- facturer. It was consistently sup ported by the Connecticut druggists and the state board of pharmacy of which William J. Dunphy of Wa terbury is chairman.

Contract Bridge

only another trick to go game.
That trick had to be picked up in
one Of the major suits. OF course
hearts was preferable, as three
tricks might be had there, perhaps
four tricks, while spades at best
could yield only two tricks. Before
playing from dummy declarer
knew all this.
Dummy's 10 possibly might win
the trick, as South might hold only
the 9-8-7, so the higher card was
played from dummy. IF that held
the trick, game was assured. Now
came the test Of South's skill,
whether he played the Ace, or was
smart enough to f1nesse the @, as
if North held the Al. Only two
South players finessed the @. OF
course declarer dared not refuse
the trick, when the @ was played.
He won, then he had to risk the
heart finesse. It lost to South's K.
That player then led the Ace of
clubs, followed by the s, and the
defenders defeated the contract a
trick by taking a total Of five
tricks.
At the tables where South did
not finesse the Q, as he should have
done, the Ace of clubs won the
opening lead. The @ followed and
held the trick, as West declined to
take his K. South might hold no
more Of the suit. The 8 came next
and West had to take his K, but
South had no more clubs to lead
back when he won his K Of hearts
and declarer made one trick over
his contract. Even If South had
held another club, West would
have gone game, as then defenders
would have won only three tricks
in clubs and single trick in
hearts.

Of the spine, In which attention is
paid to the cartilaginous disks be-
tween the vertebrate rather than
to the bones themselves. In gen.
eral, we think Of the spine as cor-
sisting Of "a vetebral bones and
% inter-vertebral joints. but. ac-
cording to Rechtman there are in
all 134 joints in the spine and any
one Of them may be the cause of
disability. For this reason very
careful Interpretation Of X-ray
plates has to be made, and the
spine must be pictured from sew
eral angles.
Most satisfactory results in
treatment have been those which
are quite simple, consisting in rest
ION a firm bed with or without ex-
tension, strapping or braces). The
use Of heat, massage, and light
treatment in the form Of lamps
and X-ray exposure are very help
full.
QUESTIONS FROM RE DERs
H. p: II notice that in recent
article you advised reader that
some hair can be removed by elec-
trolysis and some by X-ray. Just
what is meant by this? It seems
most dernatologists still use the
tedious and painful method Of cleo
| troiysis. TIE X-fay is used by GER
tain Institutes which have no defi.
mite medical connections, and one
cannot be certain that The oper-
ators are. sufficiently well Informed
to handle the dangerous X-ray."
| Answer: X-ray is adapted to
very few cases for removal Of SUI
perfuous hair. Especially on the
face it's action is generally corisid-
cred to be too fraught with dam
ger for use for cosmetic purposes
It can be used in superfuous hai1
