Friday DR. Pierson inspected a
group of high school children at a
clinic sponsored by the Imperial
County tuberculosis association.
The children had reacted positive
" TO tuberculin tests. He estimated
that 500 persons in the valley have
tuberculosis in communicable
form. and pointed out that OF that
number approximately 20 per cent
are only slightly affected and. if
treated, would recover without

UNCLE RAYS CORNER-Western Europe's Beds
LIFE'S LIKE THAT

The Anglo -Saxons of old England
commonly slept on wooden benches.
Often the benches were boards fas-
tened to the walls of small rooms.
The bedding was chiefly straw, some
times covered with sack. People
who could afford it had sheets.
About 1,400 years ago it was the
custom In Germany and France for
people to sleep on benches or on
carpets laid on the floor. Later the
bed with wooden framework and
stuffed mattress came into use.
As time went on, the mobiles and
richer folks of Western Europe had
better and better beds in their
homes, castles or palaces. At least
the beds and the bedding became
more costly. There were stuffed
quilts and soft pillows, also coverlets
embroidered with gold.
Many beds were fitted with heavy
posts at the corners, with a roof of
q sort resting on the posts. Richly
worked hangings covered the sides of
some four-post beds.
During one period beds of extra
large size came into fashion. Some
OF these were 8 feet long and 7
feet wide, and others were even
larger. In England we may see to-
day an example of the extra-size
beds. 1t is known as the Great
Bed OF Ware" and is IL feet long
and nearly as wide as it is long!
Almost 500 years ago King Louis
Xl started the bed of justice" Gus
tom IN France. This king ordered

would try another. We have a list
of 413 beds in the palaces of King
Louis XIV. They were used by the
king and members of the royal fam
lily, not by the servants. Some OF
the beds of this king were adorned
with pearls, others with gold and
silver work.
Another French ruler, Francis L
sent camp bed as present to
King Henry VIII of England. The
camp bed was covered with red vel
vet and was embroidered with pearls
and leaves of gold.
All-metal beds began to come into
widespread use about 80 years ago
We still have all-metal beds, and
they have special points in their
favor. One good thing about them
is the ease with which they may
be taken apart and moved from one
place to another. Many persons,
however, like wooden beds better.
The chief way we have improved
modern beds is by making better
mattresses and better springs on
which to rest them.

Trump Force


In today's hand, South, the de-
clarer. made another contract which
should have been defeated. Again
Vests proper play was to force de-
clarer to ruff in one hand. although
giving him the opportunity to dis
card from the other. Today's hand
is slightly more complicated than
the one previously discussed. Never
theless, We feel certain that any
good player in Vests position would
have recognized the situation for
what 1t was and made the winning
play. Why not place yourself in

West opened the queen of hearts
and continued with the jack. South
played low both times, then trumped
the third round. Souths contract
appeared easily makable unless one
of his opponents held four spades.
AS partial insurance against this
contingency, declarer decided to es-
tablish club trick (his 10th trick
When the ten Of clubs was led, West,
seeing a possible finesse against the
queen, ducked. When the club ten
held, declarer drew all the trumps
and then cashed his four diamond
tricks.
West had a fine opportunity to
set the contract by breaking two
rules at the same time. First, he
should play secondhand high,
jumping right in with his ace, and
next give South ruff and discard
by leading another heart. Let's see
what would happen. If the heart
were ruffed in dummy Vests spade
ten would win fourth-round trump
trick; if declarer elected to trump
the heart in his hand he would now
hold one less trump than West
and nothing could prevent West
from winning a trick with his long
trump.
