 However, safeguarding the con- tract is only childs play. All that is necessary is to lead a low heart to the king, or rather, as the suc- cessful declarer did, win the first diamond with the ace and lay down the heart king.
 If East should hold all four hearts, then no line of play will per- init the capture of all; but with the hearts in the West hand, there is no trouble about picking them up, as West will be in the position where he will have to split his equals.

CONTRACT BRIDGE

Exceptions With Three Tops in Su Play First from
 Hand with Two; But Break Rule Occasionally

In playing suit at contract, one of the things which player learns early is that with three top honors in a suit, he should lay down one first in the hand in which there are two.
 This is a sound enough general rule, but like all other rules there are exceptions to 1t. Such case is where there are nine in the two hands, and you wish to win all of the tricks in the suit. Obviously in this case the jack, ten and two others are missing.

The outdoor work and exercise in

changes in the youth of our Nation.
Their bodies, minds and spirits have

THE idea Of preserving the youth Of

serving the countrys natural resources
must be in great measure credited to
Prof. William James, who in 1910
wrote an essay on the Moral Equiva-
lent of War" He stated that it was
only a question of time until the Ma
tion's young manhood would be or
ganized as part of an army enrolled
against nature, rather than against a
warning enemy. He believed that such
an army could not only preserve the
country's resources, but at the same
time it would preserve the Nations
youth. All true characteristics of the
American youth-high ideals. self-re-
spect clean virtues, discipline and
hardihood-could thus be saved and
carried forth into future generations.
This is what the c. c. c. is doing to-
