THE unfortunate reign of Nicholas
II. last of the Romanoff dynasty Of
Russian rulers. began most inauspi-
ciously in May, 1896, when the Car
dropped the scepter from his right
hand at his coronation in Moscow.
Then. at the Moscow festival of his
coronation. more than 5000 people
were crushed to death through the
negligence of officials who had ar
ranged for distribution of bounties.
These events were regarded by Mich
olas with an attitude of mystic resig-
nation
OF his immediate family, Nicholas
father had died Of injuries received
In a train wreck-trying TO save Nich-
olas. His brother. George, died from
an injury received in q wrestling
match-with Nicholas.
In 1902 his former minister of the
interior. Sipyagin. was assassinated
Throughout his reign 489 of his Off
cials were either murdered or injured.
Nicholas lost his Pacific feet to the
japanese in the battle of Tsushima
in 1905. During the Red Revolution
in 1907 he lost his throne, and next
year his own life and those Of his
wife: his four daughters and his son
were taken in Siberia.

The king of hearts was opened. Ac-
cording to our correspondent, declarer
studied the hand for a long while.
His first glance at the hand showed
him that it would be very difficult to
avoid losing three diamond tricks.
Then, after mature study, he came
across what we consider about as fine
a play as we have ever seen (and, in
cidentally, the only one that will make
the hand). The play was as follows:
Declarer allowed the king of hearts
to hold the first trick. West, realizing
another heart lead would be disas-
trous, now shifted to a trump. Since
North's four of spades was lower than
any Of South's, there were only two
entries to dummy. Hence declarer
won the trump lead in his own hand.
then played over to dummys nine.
He next played the queen of clubs and
finessed, successfully of course. Then
he played the ace of hearts, discarding
the ace Of clubs from his own hand
led the jack of clubs and trumped
when East played the king. He now
went back to dummy with dummys
one remaining trump, discarded two
diamonds on dummy's two good clubs
and conceded the diamond ace, there
by making the hand.

This column takes issue with the above and asks
that the readers cons ider this point by
point:
/. What is good bread9 How do we know that the
bread which sells for 81 is good bread? There is
that bread.
z. Coarse in texture. Raised on commercial Nv
baked bread whose Ingredients a secret. we poor

yeast without dread provers" has the texture
and crlmb1es easily when buttered. Only
cially baked bread able to achieve that smooth
texture -- but at what price1
5. Grayish color. The color in the 81 bread is
not grayish but off white, and in all probability
is due to mbleached flour which if not actually
better is certainly just good.
Last though not least the 81 bread smells and
tastes bread should.
The question Of bread is a one indeed both
from the standpoint Of quality and price, and since
1T occupies very Important place in the y diet
it merits some study on the part Of the consumer.
This article is not intended to be "pep" talk
boosting the 81 bread. For the consumer to assume
that the "snoy white sliced bread neatly wrapped
in cellophane" is good bread, however, is a.
bit too gu11ib1e.

Some Unanswered Questions

Speaking at the Conference on
Power at the Institute ON Northwest
Affairs in Portland, Oregon, repre-
sentatives OF the National Resources
Board and the Bonneville Admins
tration pointed out that the govern
ment hyro-electric plants so far
built on the Columbia River more
than double all the existing develop
ed electric resources in the Pacific
Northwest. They then enyisaged
gigantic super-power system, made
up of the facilities of private, muni-
cipal and governmental plants,
which would make possible the
transmission Of power tremendous
distances from its source. This, in
their opinion, would help decentral-
ize industry, and would also stabil-
ize the systems load factor, in that
the summer drop in urban demand,
for example, would be balanced by
the summer rise in irrigation de-
mand.
That paints a pretty, theoretical
picture, but there is great haziness
surrounding the details. The Pacific
Northwest is already adequately ser
we'd by lOng-existing electric systems
which are privately owned and pub
licly regulated. These systems have
a wide margin of potential capacity
over current demand. And while it
is argued that future demand will
