Peter Shoals, of Chile, who had
been an inmate of the local Ma
rine hospital for some time, died
there last night and was buried
this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Serv-
ices were held at the chapel of
Lopez Funeral Home, and were
conducted by Father Maureau of
st. Mafy's Star of the Sea Catho-
lie church.

independence for the
1 y Czechs and Slovaks Of Central
Europe. sought after for generations
past, became reality during the
World War.
Years Of fighting for independence
by these Balkan races had been stified
by political control Of Austria Hungary.
OF which ancient Bohemia and Mo-
ravia for ages the home Of the Czechs
and Slavs, were part.
Entirely against their will these two
races were conscripted into the Aus
trian Army to fight for the Central
Powers against their Slavic brothers,
the Russians and Serbians. Early in
1915 the Russians captured them in
large numbers-then from Russian
prison camps they were released to
fight for the Allies.
BY December is, 1917, so many
Czechs were fighting with the Allies
that France officially decreed the
formation Of Czechoslovak army units.
Strange as it seems. not until Octo-
ber %, 19l8-l0 months later-was
the independence OF the Czechoslovak
state decreed.

Winning Contract
BY THE FOUR ACES.

RY this time every one knows that
the most novel and intriguing
feature Of f1ve-suit bridge Is the in
PRODUCTION Of the 65th card, known as
the widow. While this widow card Is
frequently an invaluable ally to the
declarer, its value will not always be
readily apparent.
In the following deal the widow
would appear at first glance to be of
no value whatever but. actually, proper
use Of it provided the only means for
declarer to make his contract.

The bidding:

It is interesting to note that the
bidding followed exactly along the
lines OF modern contract bidding and
North's Jump raise to three eagles was
game force and successive control
showing bids, indicating that q small
slam appeared feasible.
West opened the king of hearts and
declarer added the widow to his hand,
discarding a club. A spade shift fol-
lowed and declarer saw that his only
other possible losers were in clubs. He
saw a possible strip play and won
with the ace, then returned to dunn
my's king Of spades and trumped
the remaining spade in mis- hand. He
next cashed dummy's two top dia-
monds, and then proceeded to cross
ruff the hand until he had eliminated
all suits from both hands except clubs
and trumps. At this stage dummy
held two trumps and four clubs. De-
clarer played only one round OF
trumps. then led the jack Of clubs and
finessed. West won the trick with the
queen, but was now in the strip play
position and had only two choices.
either to return q club directly into
the tenace or to lead q suit which
would enable declarer to run In dunn
my and discard his long club, either
play giving declarer his contract.
While the strip play would not have
worked If West had held the other
trump, declarer could have won Vests
trump exit in dummy and been In
position to flnesse East for the out
standing club honor. as his remaining
chance to fulfill the contract.

tBY WALKER PECK

l know a fellow here in town
who works for his living. He
works hard, too; hard common
labor. And every morning he gets
out of his little trundle bed and
dons the old working clothes, f1ies
himself to his job and diligently
does whatever he is told for the
eight hours. He is one of those
lads who form the backbone of
the nation. Spends everything he
earns because he doesn't earn
enough to save anything, and, in
short, is a good upright respect
able citizen.
The other day, when I CHANGED
around the neighborhood of his
place of employment and dropped
in to see him, we had very en-
Tightening conversation. Drawing
him aside wasn't difficult, he
looked as though he needed a
hreather and all we had to do
was duck the boss and start talk
ing.
