are going to assume that our
readers have made the same opening

Vests opening bid was unorthodox
But he was playing Rubber Bridge,
the opponents were vulnerable with

pre- -emptive bid would either shut out

the hand at the wrong contract. Here
is the bidding and Vests hand:

West opened q spade, and Declarer
had no difficulty In making five-odd.
East was none too pleased with his
partner, and while he told him 50 in
no uncertain terms, we think he was
justified. After all, spades had never
been bid, and East must have been
doubling on the assumption that his
partner woulud open q heart-the suit
that ne had bid. Had he done 50, East
would have ruffed, played the Ace and
another diamond, and the partners
would have garnered the first flve
tricks by cross-rufnng. West would
be on lead at this point, and by bang
ing out the King Of spades, he could
ensure another trick for his side, and
the contract would have been set
three tricks redoubled.

Hudson Street, Baltimore, was in a

suffering from hydrophobia. The lad
had been complaining for more than
a week and his parents took him to
Atlantic City, N. j., to recuperate.
However his condition APPARENTLY grew
worse, and physicians who were con-
suited advised the parents to return
home with their son. BY the time
they reached Elkton, the lads condi-
ton apparently was worse and they

bees disputed Mrs. Willis right to oc-
cupy her front porch. Herioc meas
ures were necessary to evacuate them.
On Sunday afternoon Mrs. Willis
heard commotion in her hen yard.
Upon investigation she discovered two
huge black snakes in the hen nests,
one of them in the act of swallowing
an egg, thereby solving the puzzle
of why the hens had not been keeping
up their good work for egg laying
during the summer time.
Mrs. Willis had not recovered from
this shock when she discovered her
dislodged humble bees had moved into
a coop in her hen house. Now she is
wondering how many more plaques to
expect.

the transmitter mounted on a curving
iron gooseneck rising out of the desk
top. On the left side of the desk hung
a receiver and on the right was little
crank. In the space which in an ordi-
nary desk would hold papers, pens and
ink, there was glass-enclosed cabinet
inside which could be seen the inner
workings of the instrument. On the
shelf over this were two nickel bells.
When Governor McLane first used the
instrument, he heard the operators
voice coming to him from Baltimore,
as there was no central Office IN An
napolis at the time.
Now, with the remedeling Of the
Executive Mansion, this famous old
telephone has given way to more mod
ern instruments, and no longer will it
help with the activities Of Maryland
executives. It's bells are silenced.
Quietly it takes its place among other
objects of history. It has well earned
it's rest after fifty years in the Execu-
tive Mansion.
