Plan First Bic Trip

TAKOMA PARK, Md, June IL.
Gilbert E. Honey Boy" Blodgett,
84.year-old veteran fireman and
former chief of the Takoma Park
police, today looked forward with
mixture of anticipation and ap-
prehension to his first extensive
trip since he settled here in 1889.
With his friend, Henry Pop"
Scherger, II, who has also been a
member of the local fire depart
ment since its organization, Chief
Blodgett will accompany members
of the department to Easton, Nd,
for the annual convention OF the
state Volunteer Firemen's ASsocia-

two veterans, universally known
here by their nicknames of Pop"

president of the department.

Seated in front of the modern
fire house on Carroll Avenue, in
tent on a game of checkers, the
two friends abandoned the red
and black board long enough to
permit Honey Boy to discuss
the proposed excursion and bark
back, with occasional promptings
from "Pop," to the palny days
when the fire department was
housed in "a tin shack" at the
corner of Laurel and Eastern
Avenues. Pop" was then finan-

AUTOPSY
IN FIGHT ON
TICK FEVER

In an effort to study the ef.
fects of Rocky Mountain spotted
fever. the wood-tick bites disease
which has claimed two lives in
this area in the last week, Wash
ington physicians will ask permits
sion to make an autopsy on tile
body of Carl Dorr, one of the VIC
Tins who died Wednesday night
at Emergency Hospital.
Dorr, who was connected With
the Music Educators Association,
presumably contacted one VI the
wood ticks which carries the germ
while picking flowers in nearby
Maryland last month. Permission
from the victims wife to perform
the autopsy had not been obtained
early today, as Mrs. Dorr is out Of
town. e
Although not alarming, preva-
1ence of the for in, the District
and nearby STATES is great enough

DR.. Robert Oleson, assistant sur
geon general of the United States
Public Health Service. Said DR..
OleSon:

everyone to be careful when
hiking and camping, although
I would not advocate vaccina-
ton in this part Of the country.
There Is nothing mysterious
about how the fever Is caused.
and 1 would just caution
against ticks. It is probably q
self limiting disease and we can
only treat the symptoms Of it,"
Since the fever became notice
able in the Eastern part Of this
country in 1881, there have been
SOL cases in Virginia, Maryland
and the District of Columbia.

New Jewish Nation Rises

Anyway it is either immigration or
starvation.
A much more practical obstacle is
the present policy Of the British gov
ernment. To make Palestine refuge
for the distressed Jews of Eastern
Europe, Great Britain must needs
open Transjordania to Jewish settle
ment and greatly increase the present
close restriction upon the number of
Jews allowed to enter the rest of the
country.
The object Of the present sympa-
thetic movement in America for the
relief of the situation is to obtain
funds for the immediate help of the
people that are starving, to assist as
many of them as possible to move to
Palestine and to induce the govern
ment OF Britain to more liberal
policy. The organized effort to these
ends began last week in every part
of the United States and will con-
tinue in the hope of raising $9,000,0 ,000
A difficulty in evacuating Jews from
Germany lies in the fact that they
will not be allowed to take any money
with them and they must therefore be
supplied not only with transportation,
but with additional funds to enable
them to enter Palestine and to find
home there
1t will be seen that there has been
undertaken a colossal task. Last year
the Jews of Washington raised $4,000
to assist their brethren in other lands.
This year they have undertaken to
| raise 100000

common belief 1t is not proposed
Of course, to lift up 100000 Polish
Jews and deposit them in body on
the Palestinian soil nor the 100000
prosecuted Jews in Germany. But it
is believed that from each country
enough of the suffering people, par
ticularly the young people, can be
assisted to escape existing conditions
to ease the burden upon those that
remain.
It is estimated that the whole of
Palestine palestine proper, Palestine
including the part that Great Britain
cut of beyond the Jordan, could
easily sustain population of 8,000,-
600. Its total present population is
less than 100000 The removal
of 100000 from Poland and Germany
would probably solve much of the
problem of life for those that remain
OF course this process, if it can
be carried out, will mean the further
appropriation of more Arabs and the
purchase of additional tracts of Arab
land, and therefore might involve the
chance of renewed opposition from the
Arab chiefs. But Arabs that consent
to sell their holdings in Palestine are
not really incurring the least hard
ships. Close at hand are vast tracts
of territory held by their countrymen
that are open to cultivation and need
it. They have but few miles to go
to find room enough and a popu-
lation Of their own kind.

ticular, where often a great many
cards must be discarded, the defen-
sive pair must work with co-ordina-
ton so that neither player is embar-
rassed in his discarding.
1t is generally good policy to count
in advance exactly how many discards
you will have to make, then decide
which suit or suits you will protect;
the next step is to get rid Of the suit
or suits that you cannot protect,
thereby informing partner that it is
his duty to guard that suit. Very
often a slam contract is made when
both partners decide to hold the same
suit and simultaneously discard an
other.
And, finally, do not attempt to fool
declarer with tricky dscards in the
hope that he may misplace the high
cards, as it is far more likely that you
will deceive your partner and cause
him to protect the wrong suit.

COUTH opened with two spades and
eventually reached a grand-slam
contract. The jack of hearts was
opened. A quick glance at all four
hands will show that with proper
discarding by East and West declarer
will be down one trick. However. if
our readers think the correct East
and West discarding is easy, let them
spring this hand on two players
who have not seen this article and see
II they will defend it properly. Here's
the correct discarding technique:
First East should play the deuce
OF hearts on the opening heart lead
and drop the three of hearts at his
first discard. His subsequent failure
to throw any more hearts should in
dicate that East holds no more in
that suit. Hence, West should realize
that declarer's original heart holding
Is four to the ace-king queen and,
whatever else he does, West must
retain guard for his 10 Of hearts.
East's next discard should be in
the same suits declarer throws from
dummy. In other words, East should
endeavor to retain at least as many
diamonds and clubs as dummy at all
times, but in discarding these suits
In each case East's first discard should
be the queen. In this way he will
give clear information that he (East)
holds the queen -jack-1O in that suit
50 as to give his partner a chance
to throw away the king when he
feels pressure. Once West has been
given this information, he should
throw away all his diamonds or his
clubs, SO as to give his partner a
chance to count one suit quickly
With these principles followed the
hand will be down. Yet, as We said
before, try it on your friends and
see how few Of them will defend sue
cessfully!
DEFENSE against squeeze is, in
deed, one of the most difficult
phases of defensive play, and even
the finest of players slip up now and
then because OF injudicious discard
