CTRANGE as it seems, Zizka general
Of Bohemia. now Czechoslovakia)
never lost a battle. although he suf-
fered the loss of one eye in 1920 and
the other in 1921.
Zizka introduced the use of field
artillery during the Thirty Years War;
he invented the systematic retreat as a
ruse to gain an advantage over the
enemy; he invented and used ma
chine amazingly similar to the modern
war tank, consisting of field pieces
on armored wagons. He was
responsible for many other military
contributions still in use today
When in July, 1920, the Emperor
Sigismund sent an army of 10000 into
Bohemia, Zizka hastily conscripted
1000 peasants and decisively defeated
the enemy. Europe threw her finest
horsemen and infantrymen into the
Crusade-100,000 in all-yet Zizka,
with only 10000 peasants, time and
again overthrew the attacks.
When totally blind, zizka continued
to direct his troops with unvarying
success. Prague refused to recognize
his authority; Zizka completely sub
dued it,
In 1924 he started negotiations to-
ward a treaty that would give the
Hussites religious freedom, and Zizka
governorship OF Bohemia. Death halted
his plans.

Winning Contract
BY THE FOUR ACES.
Vanderbilt Tournament.

IN ONE Of the early Knockout rounds
of the Vanderbilt Cup tournament,
which we recently won again. We found
ourselves pitted against team headed
by Gordon Gibbs. former president OF
the American Bridge League. On one
hand we did our best to defeat Mr..
Gibbs at four-heart contract, but in
spite of our best efforts he made the
hand by an unusual strip play.

Mr.. Gibbs.
The bidding:

~ Pass IA 20

~ Pass Pass Pass
Being vulnerable, East and West felt
that the sacrifice bid of five diamonds
would prove too costly. West opened
the king of diamonds and Immediately
shifted to the seven of clubs-the only
play that could give Mr.. Gibbs any
trouble. When the nine was played
from dummy, East finessed the 10 and
declarer won with the ace. His first
problem was to guess the trump situ-
alton, and this he did with great facil-
ity, first playing the ace of hearts, then
the jack. which, of course, exhausted
the adverse trumps. Mr.. Gibbs next
led small spade from dummy. East
ducked and the king held the trick.
Now came the crucial play. If de-
clarer had simply returned spade
East would have won with the ace,
cashed his club and returned spade,
whereupon declarer would have had to
lose another club trick. However, Mr..
Gibbs realized that his only hope was
that the king and queen of clubs were
in separate hands and that the suit
would be blocked. He therefore re-
turned small club, East winning the
trick with the singleton king. If East
now returned q diamond Mr.. Gibbs
would have the happy choice Of either
discarding the losing spade from his
hand or the losing club from dummy;
and If East played the ace Of spades
(his only other possible play), three
good spades would be established in
dummy to furnish discards for the rest
Of Mr.. Gibbs club suit.

Well, fer goodness sake!
If a gale had been blowing, Dick
Jamison, salesman for Brown and
Hawkins, would have gone up IN
smoke in Seward the other day.
Enroute home after a hard day
in the hardware department of the
store, Mr. Jamison went into the
Seward Bakery to buy bread. Sniff,
sniff, the lady behind the counter
said, Il smell something burning"
Perhaps Sol has burnt the buns"
ventured Dick. And so to the next
store which happened to be Bald
erstons.
MY, my, do you smell something
burning?" the lady asked Jamison
"And howl" he said. Both looked
around, found nothing, but the odor
remained. So to home.
Crossing the street toward Or
lander's, Jamison was astounded to
see Orlander rush to the door and
yell: Hey, you're on firel" And
he was. Smoke was pouring out
behind him.
Tearing off his overcoat, Jami-
son threw it on the street and
leaped on it. An entire box of
matches, somehow, some way, had
ignited.
