The Authority On Authoritiesr

Wherever West led his diamond
suit, three-odd were made. Where
clubs were led, the declarer was
held to two. A mere glance at the
hands will shove that the diamond
A is a very useful side entry to help
bring in the last club, whereas the
club has no such value in helping
cash the final diamond. Also, by
leading clubs, the defender is try
ing to set up a jack, whereas by
leading diamonds he is trying to sci
up a nine.
Follow the play through yourself
and you will find that with the club
lead, the defense gets three tricks in
clubs, one each in the other suits,
whereas with a diamond lead it
takes only one trick in each suit.

POSSESSING TWO suits Of equal
LENGTH neither Of which has been
bid by anybody. your choice be-
tween them may determine the en-
tire result of your defense against
hostile No Trump contract. Most
average players viii prefer leading
the suit which has the higher honor
at its top. but experts usually win
choose the other, for two reasons.
First, all that they have to set up
in the second suit is its top card,
which usually is better than the Sec
ond card Of the other suit. But more
important Is the fact that the high
card Of the better-topped suit con-
stitutes a good entry, whereas the
top of the other one Is of practi-
cally no value in that respect.

FUNCTIONS OF HEART
DESCRIBED BY DOCTOR

ment, and it has its own circulation
which brings this the same as any
other organ. In fact, under condi-
tions such as the Lashley expert
ments, the heart alone may consume
more oxygen than all the rest of the
body put together.
The contraction of the heart be-
gins ct the top, goes down over a
nervous pathway and spreads out to
every muscle fiber in the organ, pro-
ducing a maximal contraction Of
great power.
Heart Failure
It is when this contraction goes
bad for any reason that heart fail
ure occurs. If the contraction is not
complete or is not regular enough,
or if series of small contractions
occur at irregular intervals, the
amount of blood thrown out into the
circulation is reduced, and the cir
culation all the body is dinnin-
ished. This results because the cir
culation in the lungs is slowed in
shortness of breath, and in dropsy
in the lower extremities.
Heart failure is the only indica-
ton for treating the heart muscle.
Mechanical defects such as a lealy
valve are Of no consequence so long
as the heart muscle is intact and
can compensate. =
There are many effective ways Of
treating heart muscle failure. The
muscle has great powers Of recu-
perAtion and rest is a most effective
Such medicines as digitalis
and caffeine have special reactions

THE CIRCULATION Of the
blood depends on a series of mocha
nlsms, but they are the mechanisms
OF living tissue and not of steel and
iron engines. We, therefore, have a
most interesting and varied study
presented to us.
The heart beat, which is the CEN
trail part of all this mechanism,
illustrates these mysteries very
beautifully. The heart is made up
OF peculiar kind of muscle tissue,
part muscular and part nervous. It
beats automatically and strips of
heart muscle can be kept beating
outside the body for some time. 1t
beats regularly and rhythmically,
and it beats from the moment life
begins until death. What mystical
forces keep this awesome mocha
nlsnn going? We know part of the
answer, but not the central secret.
Amount of Work
The amount Of work the heart
does has been variously estimated.

"Greot Waltz"
Held Over

THE Great Waltz" a spec
tacular musical woven about the
life and loves of Johann Strauss,
begins a second week at Loew's
Palace Theater. Beautiful music
by one of the greatest compos-
er's of all time forms the thread
of a charming and delightful
performance.
Miliza Korjus, sensational
new star makes a brilliant debut
as the singer who wins the
great Strauss alteration. Lovely
and captivating, she dances and
sings her way to very definite
success. Flirting, tempting, true
love causes her to renounce him,
that he may return to his de-
voted wife.
Fernand Gravat essays the
role of the genius, Strauss, doing
a very convincing job, while
Luise Rainer is the understand
ing wife who is willing to give
up her husband if that means
his happiness.
Such favorites as the Blue
Danube" The Last Waltz" and
a half dozen other familiar tunes
make this one of Metro-G Gold
wyn-Mayers' outstanding contri-
buttons to the cinema season.

Wayman Home Was
Destroyed By Fire
Monday Afternoon
Fire Of Unknown Origin Lee
veled Large Two-Story House
Between Jeffersons

One OF the worst and most 11ayss
terious fires ever experienced here
took place Monday afternoon when
the large two story, broom frame
home of Jake w. Wayman, was
completely destroyed.
Practically all of the furniture in
the house, a garage and barn were
also burned and Mr.. Wayman esti-
mated his loss at around $5,000.00, a
portion of which was covered by
insurance. Mr.. and Mrs. Langdon
Scott daughter and son-in-law,
lived in the home with Mr.. and Mrs.
Wayman and all Of their furniture
and clothes were burned, too. II
had 100000 worth of insurance on
the house," Mr.. Scott, a popular
insurance man, said.
AS the home was located be-
tween the Jeffersons and just out
side of the town limits here, the
West Jefferson fire department was
powerless as no piped water supply
was available. Members of the
fire department tried to save out
buildings, but were unsuccessful as
slate roof on the house held the
heat down and made it extremely
hot for those nearby.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wayman, highly re-
spected elderly couple, were at
home when the fire was discovered.
In some unknown way it started in
the closet underneath the stairway
leading up stairs. There were no
stoves in the closet or wiring and
it evidently caught as result of
spontaneous combustion.
A large crowd gathered at the
scene of the catastrophe and many
of them lamented the fact that the
local department does not have a
fire truck. The Waymans are now
living with their son and Mr.. and
Mrs. Scott with Mrs. SCOTS father
in Jefferson.
