The new Christmas seals now be-
ing prepared for the coming an
nual sale. Thanksgiving to Christ
mas, to raise funds for the con-
tinued health service of the District

ton are already attracting the at
tention of stamp collectors.
Each sheet of 100 seals has
special design for the four corner
seals, consisting of portraits of four
men famous in the world fight
against tuberculosis. They are, as
previously announced, Rene Laennec
of France. discoverer of the stethe-
scope in 1919; DR.. Robert Koch of
Germany. who in 1882 discovered
the tuberculosis germ; Dr. Edward
L. Trudeau, who initiated the tuber-
culosis sanatorium movement in
America in 1885. and Einar Mol
boell, the Danish postal clerk who
started the first Christmas seal sale
in Denmark in 1904.
Collectors are interested in the
fact that this years seals were
printed by four photographers, each
of whom placed his identification
mark on seal No. Sc, which is the
sixth seal from the left in the sixth
horizontal row. The marks are
either above or to the right Of the
double-barred cross in the lower
right-hand corner and are printed
in brown ink. A capital Letter "E"

South opened the diamand queen,
which was taken by North with the
ace. and the club queen was returned
and won by East whose first lead was
a small heart up to the queen, which
was overtaken by North with the ace
Of trumps. North then led his nine
of clubs and the trick was won by the
king in the South. South then led
his five of hearts to reduce the pos
sibility of trumping diamonds by
West. East cashed his king of dia-
monds and continued to lead his
hearts. forcing discards from South
until the situation was as follows:
North, queen and seven of spades,
no hearts. jack and 10 of diamonds
and no clubs. East held eight, five
and three of spades and the four Of
hearts: South had the jack, nine and
two of spades and the king of clubs,
while Vests holding was the ace,
king and 10 OF spades and the eight
of clubs. With the lead of East's last
trump, the four spot, South was
squeezed. If he discarded the king
OF clubs, the eight spot in Easts hand
would be good; If he threw away q
spade, North's queen Of that suit
would fall with the second lead OF
spades and the ace, king and 10 OF
spades would be good In Vests hand.
This skillful handling Of the cards
enabled Mr.. Stearns to fulfill his
doubled contract of four hearts, al
though he had but 81 high-honor
tricks.

The grand coup at contract is a
play that marks the declarer who
executes 1t as a skillful performer.
Usually, when it becomes necessary
to resort to it the contract is in the
higher brackets of grand slam or a
small slam. Paradoxically, as it may
appear, the play consists of reducing
the number Of trumps in the de-
clarer's hand so as to catch 4 high
trump, generally a king, adversely
held.
In the following deal played by
Mrs. Catherine Callan. 45l2 STAN

North's call was one club, Mrs.
Callan bid 4 heart and finally found
herself In q four-heart contract.
West opened with the seven Of dia-
monds and when dummy went down
1t looked as If the declarer had ex-
tended herself and must be set one
unless she could find the trump suit
divided three-two with the king in
East's hand, for she could see at the
outset two diamond and one spade
losers. East won the first two tricks
with his diamonds and then shifted
to spades, which West won with the
ace and returned another spade
which was won in dummy. Declarer
then led the jack of hearts, which
East allowed to ride, thinking that
with only one more heart lead from
dummy he would surely make his
king. The king of trumps did not fall
on the second heart lead and when
West showed out, Mrs. Callan re-
sorted to other tactics. Leading the
two Of clubs, she won in dummy and
led third spade and trumped In her
own hand, then returning to dummy
with a club. she led q fourth spade
and again trumped: back to dummy
again she led the third club and the
stage was then set for the COUP.
West was now void in all suits except
the two trumps, king and nine, while
declared held the ace and queen.
The fourth lead Of clubs forced East
to play one or the other Of his
trumps. and the last two tricks, max
ing four odd, were won by the de-
clarer.

maybe it is a gift or maybe it
comes from practice-but Hen
ry, he has one for everything.
And not long ago he dropped
in to see me, and he has not
changed. And he said, do you
know, 10, the way Uncle Sam
is diving into everything, he is
acting kinda pixilated, and he
reminds me of the story about
the lighthouse the Govt. built.
And this lighthouse, a Teller
by the name of Tony, he helped
build it. And when it was fin
ished, Tony he says, Sambo is
crazy; he spends a lota money
and makes a MICA lighthouse.
And when she is all finished.

Even the Joy which came as

special session prospects. None
of the members want to be
called back, but observers see
strong possibility for an extra
ordinary session soon after
the November elections. The
possibility is based on: %
threatened collapse of the $780,
900, 900 900 railroad industry;
~ bumper crops begging down
the planned economy scheme

continuing business decline and
mounting unemployment.

Comments were very favor

The crowd was we'll pleased

the Brahma bulls caused the

The Legion put on a good ro-

Speaking of Sports
Dead Ball May
Help Restore
Base Stealing
By GEORGE A. BARCLAY

By GEORGE A. BARCLAY
u ASE stealing may be res
- cued from the limbo of lost
arts as a result of the decision
of the National league to rein
troduce a deader ball into the
1888 pennant race. Such a res
cue would revive the days of
tight ball games, Of pitchers
battles, frequent sacrifices and
squeeze plays"
Rogers Hornsby, alumnus Of five
major league teams and a keen
judge of the play in both the Ma
tional and American circuits, be-
ieves that a return of base stealing
would pay dividends in increased
interest among the fans.
"In the old days when Ty Cobb,
Max Carey, Eddie Collins, Clyde
Milan, Jack Miller, George Burns
and that generation of. players in the
big leagues, the man who could
steal base was a big asset to his
club" the Rajah pointed out. s'The
