 The apparently unfavorable trump break should have made the de- clarer's contract certainty. It isn't necessarily bad luck to find four- one trump break against you.
 South ruffed the second lead of diamonds, then, hoping that the trumps split three-two, laid down the ace and another trump and suc- ceeded in going down 2200 points or four tricks at his game contract.
 Bemoaning his luck after the hand was over, Bixby pointed out the way to make the contract with the distribution which existed. South

wearing Silk, his was. Not cheese cloth nor
cheap material. He wasn't afraid any longer.
He took one step forward and began to
recite in Chinese. The audience listened amused
but pleased. When he finished he bowed again.
And Hing bowed too. Then Jin-Wai took
Hing by the hand and led him to place on the
stage by the side of the other boys from his
classroom. There was loud burst of applause
from the audience.
While the orchestra played another number,
there was hurried consultation among the
teachers. Then Jin-Wai saw his teacher come
upon the stage.
The prize this afternoon for the best COS
tune and the incest performance by unanimous
choice goes to Jin-Wai Fong, our Chinese
neighbor. Come here. Jin-Wai.''
Jin-Wai, still holding Hing by the hand,
stepped forward. What was it you said in
Chinese?" asked the teacher.
Il said The Five Principles of Filial Duty
by MIR. Confucius. It means you should always
obey your parents and do exactly as they tell
you to do even though it does not seem to you
to be the thing for you to do"
Cheers from the audience at these words so
touchingly expressed. The suffering mothers
present understood and applauded vigorously.
Then the teacher handed jim Wal the prize

and their wives. jim Wal bowed low.
Present." asked Hing.
For moment Jin-Wai paused. He had no
right to accept this prize. He had not won it
because of anything he had wanted to do. He
had made no effort of his own. He was not
entitled to it. And if he accepted the prize
and ever in his own thought felt pride, he would
to himself forever lose face
So he turned to Hing and placed the prize
in his hands. Let Hing have all the honor. Let
him be the one tonight to boast to their honor
able father. Then Jin-Wai smiled happily. He
had done the proper thing - saved his face.
He took his place again with his classmates.
The teacher pulled rope, and the American
flag concealed in the space above the stage un-
fruled and hovered over the children as they all
began to sing, THE Star Spangled Banner"
Hi, kid" said the boy next to jim Wal under
his BREATH and smiled when he said it.
Hi, yourself" replied Jin-Wai His heart
began to thump happily. The first friendly
word he had had. Maybe his father did know
what was best. Maybe he should always do
things in the approved Chinese way his way.
Maybe that was the right way to understanding
and friendliness.

wouldn't have been missed. And now Miss
Teacher suggested he do something. He wished
the schoolhouse would burn down - right to
the ground - this very minute - and every
body in it, too - including himself.
Seats were reserved down front for the
children. The proud mothers sat in the back.
The program started with everyone singing,
MY Country 'Ts of Thee" Then the school
orchestra hesitantly played what was called
medley of popular airs. And as each group went
upon the stage to perform, the orchestra
sounded forth with few bars of the national
anthem of their country
Five little Scotch boys in kits danced to the
tune of THE Campbells are Coming" Jin-Wai
felt little happier when he saw that they, too
were wearing skirts. Thank goodness his bare
legs weren't being displayed to the public.
A group of Italian children sang several of
their folk songs. Some Finnish boys did drill
The Spanish boys and girls danced to clicking
castanets. And so on until all the nationalities
had performed As each group finished they
lined up on the stage. Only Jin-Wai and his
brother remained in the auditorium
He heard his teacher say, But l didn't
expect. didn't rehearse anything"
Then the lady whom he knew to be Number
One Teacher replied, 'He will be so dis
appointed if he can't come up with the others.
And he looks 50 sweet"
Jin-Wai shuddered. Disappointed? Not he
He was hoping he wouldn't be noticed
But his teacher bent over him and whispered
wouldn't you like to go upon the platform
with the others? Just walk around 50 everyone
can see how nice you look. We don't know
what melody to play. We haven't practiced the
Chinese national anthem - if there is one.'
The pride of centuries of a race of proud
ancestors came to Jin-Wai's assistance at this
crucial moment Just because he was despised
Chinese didn't mean that he didn't know the
proper thing to do. PLAY Yankee Doodle"
he said. 'Me take that tune"
A whispered consultation was held with the
pianist, and as Yankee Doodle" was pounded
out upon the piano, Jin-Wai, holding Hing by
the hand, marched upon the stage. There was
burst of applause. For Jin-Wai carried himself
with such dignity, walked so proudly, and had
such perfect self possession that he won the
hearts of all the mothers. He faced the audience.
"He's going to do something" whispered the
teacher.
Jin-Wai bowed. And Hing, properly trained
to do as his elder brother did in public, folded
his hands in front of his round little tummy and
bowed too. Suddenly Jin-Wai felt proud and
happy. Proud he was wearing his Chinese dress

THWARTED NAzIS.
DEFIANT UNDER.
AUSTRIAN GUNS|
Troops Held Ready as.
"Coup" Is DoWned
BY ALFRED TYRNAUER


VIENNA, Feb. 28 0N.S0.-De-
termined to prevent Maxi out
breaks, Austrian government
troops stood by IL their barracks
at Graz, ready for any action or
emergency today.
The city remained calm, how
ever, and all Nazi Swastika flags,
flying in profusion yesterday, sud-
denly disappeared. But hundreds
of defiant Nazis walked the streets,
displaying SwaStika badges.
NAZI PLOT THWARTED
Under orders of Kurt Schu-
schnigg, Austrian chancellor, the
troops hid a tight grip on Graz
after thwarting a reported plot
by Nazis there to capture" the
city and then march against
Vienna.
Planes, tanks, artillery and ma,
chine gun units supported the
forces which surrounded Graz,
provicincial capital of Styria,
drawing a virtual steel Gordon
around the entire city.
Earlier, inside, the Nazis had
been reported masSing 10000 ad-
herents for a counter -demonstra-
tion-which so far has failed to
materialize.
The show of strength was be
lieved meant as a practical demon
stration that SchuShnigg does not
yet admit his nation has been
abandoned" to Chancellor Hitler
and the NaziS.
DUCE USED AS MODEL
The troops rushed to Graz,
scene of violent Nazi-fatherland
front disorders since Hitler's Aus
trian coup" following reports
extremist Nazi leaders planned to
seize control of the Graz city gov
ernment and then move on the
capital Of the nation in imitation
of Mussoltni and his famous
march on Rome 16 years ago. 1
It was in that virtually un-
opposed march that II Duce won
control Of Italy, and the Graz
Nazis were reported to have had
similar idea.
In Vienna, NaziS were recovering
from still another of their clashes
with police. This riot was caused
by the action of SchuSchnigg in
defying the Nazis by appointing
anti-Nazi DR.. Guido Zernatto. min
lister without portfolio in the new
cabinet, as provincial leader OF
Styria, Austrian Nazi stronghold.
HEADS POLITICAL PARTY
Zernatto also was named leader
of the governments political or
ganization, the Fatherland Front,
only group of its kind legally per
mitted in the country.
According to information here,
the government secret service dis
covered plans for a Nazi mobiliza-
ton at Graz, to be followed by
the march.
The Nazis were said to have
planned demonstrations in Graz
demanding reinstatement of the
city's suspended mayor, and au-
tonomy for Styria as a Nazi prov
