second fox jumped up there and ran
to Bald Hill and circled back to where
he had started from. Going was heavy
and the wind was up. Hounds lost
the scent and were taken in.
There were several falls, due to the
slippery going. The master. Daniel

horse slipped on the take-off side of

At brisk pace hounds carried the line
eastward to the high ground above the

hounds checked for few minutes and
the fox doubled back on his previous
line for a half mile, turned right
handed and followed Panther Skin
Creek down into its confluence with
Goose Greek. Hounds checked again
north of this point when a steady rain
hampered their work and made it
difficult to follow the scent.
Many Of the rain-soaked riders
pulled out here, and hounds trailed
slowly northward and lost the scent
on the Charles Sabin farm. At this
stage of the game, rain had made
further hunting impossible and
hounds were returned to kennels.

Some Structures of Body
That We Can DO Without

out all of it. AS much as three
fourths of the liver can be de-
stroyed without interfering with
the smooth functioning Of the
body. There are enough cells left
to carry on all Of this function. If
the entire liver is removed, how
ever, death occurs within a very
short time.
Mann, of the Mayo clinic, has
perfected a technique for the re-
moval Of the liver in animals and
has studied the effect. The animal
invariably dies within "a to SO
hours. The principal symptoms
are those of reduced blood sugar,
and when the animal gets almost
moribund, 1t can be revived by in
iecting sugar into the blood stream.
This can be done three or four
times, but there finally develops a
different. set Of symptoms and no
further response is possible.
The spleen is another large
organ which looks as if it had i'm
portant functions to perform but,
as a matter Of fact, the entire
spleen can be removed without
producing any noticeable effect
upon the functions Of the body.
The function usually ascribed to
the spleen is destruction OF red
blood cells, but there are several
small accessory spleens in the
body which perform this function
or else, after removal Of the
spleen, the liver takes it over.
Certain little structures, how
ever, such as the parathyroid
glands or the adrenal glands, no
bigger than the end Of your thumb,
cannot be removed without i'm
mediate bad results and eventual

CONTRACT BRIDGE
WRITTEN FOR CENTRAL PRESS.
By (. V.-SHEPARD
Famous Bridge Teacher

To fulfill the contract the 9 OF
diamonds must be led at the fourth
trick. AS may readily be discov-
cred, North cannot gain by doing
anything except play low. Cover
ing with the ] obviously will be
nonsense, as that will leave de-
clarer with every high trump ex-
cept the Ace. Putting up the Ace
will do no good, as no return lead
will bother East. Dummy can still
ruff a heart and declarer can still
lead through North's J-X-X of
trumps, to pick them up, if any
thing except trump is led. If a
trump is led it will only make de-
clarer's work simpler.
Having won the first trump lead
in dummy, lead low spade. Have
declarer ruff his last heart in
dummy. Lead the last trump in
dummy. North can make only his
Ace Of diamonds. The J-X may be
picked up with declarer's K-Q,
leaving all cards in declarer's
hand good. The above play shows
correct timing of a trump through
North, with a. fulfilled contract as
reward.
Unless the trump is led through
North at the fourth trick, the con-
tract will go down a trick, as de-
clarer must lose two trump tricks
through improper timing. Try it.,
by having dummy lead a spade, in
stead of a trump at the fourth
trick. Declarer may then ruff his
losing heart at the fifth trick, but
he now must lose two trump
tricks. Lead a trump from dummy
at the sixth trick. North will now
play his Ace, having left the
J-X-X, which declarer cannot pick
up, as he has no means of again
entering dlr1n1V.
