BY THE FOUR ACES.

West opened his sixth-best club.
Declarer won with the ace in dummy,
studied the hand while, then
played a diamond over to the ace
and returned low diamond. A sec
ond club was trumped by the three
Of spades and declarer now PLAYED
a low diamond West put on the
eight of spades, dummy was forced
to ruff with the king and now East
was eventually able to make a spade
trick, thereby beating the sla a con-
tract.
The alternate play is as f. lows:
Play low diamond at trick two ruff
the CLUB return, cash the ace-king of
spades and then play a diamond and
go up with the ace Next play third
diamond and trump it. return to
your own hand by ruffing either a
club or heart. draw the one re-
naming trump and make the con-
tract.
After the hand was played it caused
considerable discussion, and the de-
clarer was rather interested in find
ing out whether his unsuccessful line
OF play was nevertheless the proper
one. The answer is yes, there is
slight percentage in favor of de-
clarers play, the reason being. first,
that in order to make the contract
by any method of attack both dia-
monds and spades had to break 3-2.
second, the method adopted would
win automatically if three spades
and two diamonds were in the same
hand. The alternate play would
work against two spades and two
diamonds in the same hand and lose
against three spades and two dia-
monds in the same hand. The de-
clarer had no indication as to the
distribution of the other cards.
Hence, there was very slight
mathematical percentage in favor of
finding three spades and two dia-
monds together Finally, hand of
this type is pretty much of a guess.

gerous as rats, mice play a part in
spreading disease germs. They also

their food supply. If all food is kept

singing has been compared to that
of "a Weak-voiced canary bird"
Japanese Waiting mice have
won a bit of fame. They whirl
around and around, and act as if
they were chasing their tails. This
is not due to training, but to some
thing wrong inside of the ears. Be-
cause Of that trouble with the ears,
the waltzing mouse does not have
a good sense of balance, and this
causes it to spin around.
Mice are pests, but they have done
some good in the world. Scientists
have raised mice for the special pur-
pose of using them in tests. One
kind of test has been to find what
happens to them when they eat, or
do not eat, certain foods. The facts
gained have helped to add to our
knowledge of vitamins. Since vita
minis are important to the health of
human beings, we may say mice
have played part in mans war
against disease. The mouse around
the house, however, is a danger,
not help.

WHERE ORANGES GROy
Sunshine and Certain Soil

You can journey all through Alaska or
Canada and you won't see oranges
growing because this particular fruit
requires plenty of hot sunshine and
peculiar type of soil to make it flourish.
Attempts have been made to grow
oranges in cold climates but . Z. . unsuc.
cessfully. Even warm climates where
the soil is not just right cannot produce
this fruit. Oranges will ONLY grow
under CERTAIN conditions!
Newspaper circulation. the ground from
,vhich profitable advertising results
spring, must be Hkeuise analysed BY
those merchants ,Vho wonld invest their
advertising dollars ito bear fruit" Just
quantity is NOT enough. Although The
Stars circulation happens to be the
largest in Washington, that fact is not
50 important as WHAT constitutes this
vasf coverage. Firstly, Star readers
read Star advertising with a confidence
that begets response because experience
has taught them that they can depend
upon ALL the ne,Vs in Star columns:
secondly, the majority of Star readers
(home.delivered circnlation) haze the
money to spend for u,hat they aUanf; the
ability to spend assures response. Re.
suits, the fruits of advertising, come
from Star advertising simply because
...in The Star, advertisers find just the
fertile soil and sunshine that produces
the v0lume of sales their Investment
seeks to create.

i Forgot Insurance. d.
With his brother, also renamed, he
purchased small drug stores until he
had an impressive chain. These he
sold to the McKesson- Robbins drug
manufacturers and managed to be
retained as president Of the COM
bined company.
His integrity never was doubted
It's difficult to doubt the president
of an $87 900 900 Arm rated plus sev-
eral AS in leading financial bureaus.
Gradually he built a fabulous
crude drug business. Assets in this
mythical kingdom were listed at $18,-
OOO, 900.
He thought of everything to safe
guard his secret-everything but the
smallest of detail
He paid income tax on the nom
existent income. That was smart.
He established air-dream factories
in remote sections of Canada. He
q even furnished forged copies Of i'm
posing public accountant firm re-
searches.
But he forgot insurance on the
mythical kingdom.
His Aide Discovered Him.
It was . man he beseeched to en-
ter the company, an investment
banker with business integrity that
transcribed his loyalty to Coster,
who found the weak link.
Julian Thompson, taken into the
firm by Coster, thought it strange
an $18,000000 business failed to
carry insurance. He looked into
the matter. reported his finding to
others and forced the showdown.
That ended in the collapse Of the
financial genius that was Coster.
There never was $18,000,OO0 In
crude drugs. Under the scrutiny
of investigators, Canadian store
; houses became single room Offices
where letters arrived infrequently
. and then only for remailing to other
points. Hundreds of employees
!. dwindled to less than five. The
$18,0O0,O00 assets became only three
and four cent stamps for remailing
of checks hiked to these fake firms
