Winning Contract.
BY THE FOUR ACES.
Protect uselesA Cards.

ONE Of the most frequent mistakes
made by the ordinary bridge
player Is that Of discarding low cards
carelessly. The winning player bears
in mind that even though hts own
hand is apparently worthless. 1t is re-
markable how easily . seemingly low
card may be promoted to the position
Of tricktaker In addition, and OF
even greater importance. is the matter
Of concealing weakness in . suit In
order to protect honors in partners
hand. BY protecting" several ap-
parently useless cards of a suit, a de-
fender will give declarer q guess; con-
versely. to simply throw these useless
cards gives declarer vital information.
For example:

SEAFOOD PACKING
PLANTS PROPOSED
Conservation Department
Seeking This Type of
New Industry Here
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, July / Packing houses
for processing of North Cardinals
valuable seafood crop are being
sought by the industrial division Of
the Department of Conservation and
Development, j. T. Anderson, division
engineer, said today.
He pointed out that the marketing
of this crop is one of the most serious
and pressing problems which confront
commercial fishermen of the coast
section.
GAS with producers of other pro-
ducts, the fishermen meet alternate
periods of overproduction and of
scarcity. Establishment of packing
houses to provide a larger ready mar
ket for seafood would insure much
steadier returns for the fishermen.
Establishment of such houses would
go far, too, toward eliminating the
hazards of spoilage encountered in
the handling of fresh products" Mr..
Anderson said.
"The great distance of North Car
DINA fishermen from the usual mar
ket centers has resulted in great
losses to the shippers. Even this
states biggest consuming centers are
several hundred miles inland, while
large percentage of each years
catch must be marketed in even more
distant Eastern cities, if it is to be
marketed at all. There have been eff
forts to increase the per capita con-
sumption of seafoods by North Car
olinians, but scant success has at
tended these attempts.
Undoubtedly the depressed condi-
ton of North Cardinals commercial
fisheries could be lifted to some ex-
tent and marketing considerably inn
proved by the establishment of adj
ditional packing houses.
"The Division of Commerce and In
dustry is making a systematic study
of seafood possibilities along our
coast, and is in cooperation with sew
eral communities in seeking prospects
for this area"
Mr.. Anderson did not reveal what
communities are cooperating nor
what industries have been brought in
contact with the North Carolina in
duStry.

Using Old Wells
To Guage Levels
OF Waters Flow
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir WalterE Hotel.

Raleigh, July New uses have
been found for old wells in North
Carolina and they are no longer just
holes in the ground and total eco
nomic losses. Professor T. S. john
son, chief of the water resources di-
vision of the Department of Conser-
Vation and Development, said today.
The fact is that they are excellent
indicators of the ground water sup
ply, and their levels fluctuate accord
ing to temperature and rainfalls, &C
cording to Johnson; and as result
water level recorders have been in
stalled in a number of old wells over

D. r. to serve Senator Tydings a
double dose OF the castor oil admin

outside the administration circle was
general that the President would fol-
low the advice Of his amateur mentors

the Denton speech, as far as the Sena-

potency of pink lemonade, instead OF
high explosive, Is unquestionably due
