However, the most pitiful case of

scarcely more than q newborn baby,

and In no way showing the results
OF his early deprivations. As his own
parents could not care for him, the
hospital helped them to arrange for
his adoption.
AS an example Of the far-reaching
effects Of health education, Miss Glib
son pointed out that the publicity
given to venereal disease during the
last year has brought hundreds Of
such cases to Children's Hospital.

year." she explains. This means sew
eral hundred new cases and most Of
them are babies. BY getting treat
ments started at babyhood, their fu-
ture is far more hopeful than If treat
ment had been delayed over few
years. Our treatment costs have in
creased, of course, but the ultimate
cost Of these children to society will
be much less"

 Before leading his partners bio suit, West rightly laid down hlc singleton ace of clubs. To East, seeing the five in dummy and the four in his own hand, 1t was evi- dent that the lead was e singleton, and that the contract could be de- feated if his partner could be given ruff before trun1ps were drawn by declarer.
 Using the suit directing play. he played the jack of clubs, and West now led a heart, giving East the chance to return e club. Thus West was able to cas htwo trumps by club ruffs, and East eventually ruffed e heart, defeating the contract three tricks.
 An opening diamond lead or shift to that suit after leading the club ace would have permitted the making of the contract.
