When West passed and North bid q
diamond every South player with one
exception had little difficulty in reach
ing either grand slam bid in spades
or no-trump.
In each case West led the jack of
diamonds, and when played at no.
trump South found it necessary to win
with the ace in dummy. It's easy If
the hearts will break 30 or West has
the singleton jack or 10, but it was not
so, and other tactics had to be tried.
Declarer ran five spades, forcing a
discard OF one diamond and one club
from East. Then the king of clubs
was led and next over to the ace
queen of clubs. On the third lead
of this suit East is squeezed If he
discards his king Of diamonds the
queen in dummy wins, and a second
heart is discarded by declarer, the
first having gone on the ace of dia-
monds; if he discards a heart then
South's heart are all good
At seven spades South makes a
safety play. After winning with The
ace of diamonds in dummy, he leads
two rounds of spades; then he switches
to hearts and discovers on the second
lead Of that suit that West is out and
that he does not have the missing
10 of spades He then leads a third
heart and trumps the fourth heart
with the jack of spades in dummy.
Next he returns to his own hand
with the king of clubs, pulls East's
last trump, and the remainder of
his cards are all aces.
1t is a very interesting hand and
extremely difficult to determine
whether the contract should be seven
spades or seven no-trump, and only the
best guesser wins top.
THE next big event Of the bridge
players program is the Western
States tournament of the American
Bridge League, which starts in Pitts

is an event conducted by the league
to give the players in the Great Lakes

necessity of jou-neying to the Allan

NOll14CS play an important
- part in the automotive field
as well - in many others,
according to the opinions Of
various automobile manufacturers.
There is no question to the fact that
any uncertainty existing in business
has great effect IN one Of the largest
Of American industries.
This uncertainty which pointed its
way this year to the recession, which,
with added labor troubles, have caused
the sales of motor cars to fall con-
siderable behind 1887, appears to be
diminishing. Optimism is being felt
by many automotive leaders, who see
better times this fall and in 1899.
This feeling of hope, they say, is
largely due to the result of the recent
primaries. in which political purges
failed so noticeably to materialize.
This effects, manufacturers say, a
new confidence in business. This con-
f1dence is predicated on the belief
that the next Congress will not leg
islate any radical or too liberal
changes that might tend to destroy
buying power.
The automobile manufacturers see
steadying influence being brought
to bear upon their market and a
public with the iessening of appre-
hension becoming willing purchasers.
The stage is being rapidly prepared
for the 1889 show, which again will
open in the fall, the first to be held
November l1-l7, inclusive, in New
York. The annual exhibit here will
be held around that time, although
neither the exact time nor the place
as yet has been announced.
The Automotive Daily News, trade
publication, also sees bright hopes for
the future. In its almanac issue" !"
its fifth annual survey, 1t bases its
forecast on strong car demand
backed by purchasing power.
The industry journal observes in
part:
With bad 1888 under its belt the
automotive industry this fall looks for
ward to 1899 with renewed optimism
This confidence that next year will
bring rewards that will offset the
disappointments of 1888 is not based
upon hopes alone. Several factors now
affect the market which, while giving
no positive assurance, do indicate a

, reasonable expectation Of an increase
in sales ranging from rs to 80 per
cent above the year just closing.
Chief among these factors, perhaps,
Is that the country this year did not
spend for automotive equipment any
where near what our national income
figures would indicate it had every
reason in the world to spend. This
means that there Is q strong demand
for cars still in existence and backed
by purchasing power which needs only
return Of confidence to make itself
manifest.
To stimulate this demand, and to
help further a return of confidence,
the automotive industry this year has
incorporated more changes in its mod
els and spent more for dies, tools, jigs,
equipment and machinery with which
to launch its 1889 lines than it has
done for years past. The result is
the 1s39cars will hold appeal for the
average buyer which will be difficult
to resist, particularly in view Of the
fact that many persons, normally new
car buyers, still have the money and
income with which to buy, and good
indications that those incomes will
continue to grow larger.
Looking at the picture from a ma
tional income standpoint, in 1929
when the national income ran to S78,-
500, 100000 the wholesale value of all
motor vehicles produced in the United
States reached $3,413,00O,00O. This
! represented about a. per cent of the
national income. In 1880 with the
national income declining to s73,0O0,-
100000 car production dropped to
$4,000, 900, 900, or about 28 per cent of
the income. This downward movement
continued until 1882 when the whole
sale value of motor vehicles represented
only IA per cent of the national in
come.
With the advent of business recovery
in 1888 automobile production rose but
did not begin really to catch up with
income until 1885 when the wholesale
value OF motor vehicles accounted for
81 per cent Of the total income. In
1885 motor vehicle value represented
1886 per cent of the national income
and by 1887 had climbed to Al per
cent of the national income.
While the 1887 figures were getting
back pretty close to 1929, there still
remained considerable market which

SIMPSON NAMED
 DEPUTY SHERIFF
Former Thomaston Con= stable Named to Staff
 By Sheriff BeckWith

Announcement from the office of high Sheriff Sutherland A Beckwith of Litchfield county named Henry Simpson, former constable of Thom- aston as a special deputy sheriff for that town. The appointment was made by Sheriff Beckwith last Saturday at the request of friends of Simpson in Thomaston.
 The position as special deputy will in no way interfere with the duties of James P. (Taft) Ryan chief of po- lice of Thomaston and deputy sheriff of the county. Ryan will continue to serve as both police chief and deputy speriff.
 Plans of Sheriff Beckwith to pro- mote vacations for young children of the county are progressing rapidly. It is the intention of Beckwith to arrange for summer vacations for as many children as he possibly can. The campaign to raise funds for this purpose is meeting with usually fine cooperation from the people of Litchfield county.
 Summer Vacations
 It is the opinion of the sheriff that there are many youngsters in various towns in the country who are deserving of a summer vaca- ton which might be denied them because of lack of funds. Or the fact that the fathers might be out of work or one of many other reasons, which is why the popular sheriff is sponsoring this excellent movement
 Beckwith is conducting the most vigorous campaign in the history of the county in his attempt to gain sufficient strength among the voters of Litchfield county to insure his election as high sheriff on the Dem- ocratic ticket He was appointed by Governor Wilbur l.. Cross to fill the unexpired term caused by the death of SheriffTurkington.
 At the Beckwith for sheriff dinner which was held at the Litchfield Hills club, Philip Hewes executive secretary of the governor stressed the fact that it would be paying a tribute to the governors appoint ment of the voters of the county to return BeckWith to office as high sheriff.
