BY THE FOUR ACES.
Grand Slam From Texas,

The hand was somewhat of a mis-
fit, owing to the fact that DR.. Beall
held none Of his partners club suit,
and he admits that he would never
have made his contract If West had
not obligingly doubled, thus giving him
a clue to the few missing high cards.
West opened a trump and DR.. Beall
Immediately decided that the doubler
was sure to hold the king of diamonds
Hence the f1nesse was sure to lose
DR.. Beall could see II top tricks; a
heart finesse might provide the
twelfth; the thirteenth could be made
only by a squeeze. After winning the
f1rst trick, declarer Immediately took
= finesse for the queen of hearts and,
realizing that the grand slam could
be made If West held both the minor
suit kings, he ran of all seven trumps,
discarding two diamond and three
clubs from dummy. Declarer next
played the ace and king of hearts,
d1scarding one of his diamonds, and at
this point had backward squeeze on
West. Dummy now held the singleton
queen OF diamonds and ace-queen of
clubs and West, holding king small in
the two minor suits, was forced to
blank one of his kings. He elected to
throw diamond, whereupon DR.. Beall
cashed the ace of clubs, led the queen
OF diamonds and went up with his ace,
the 10 Of diamonds giving him the
thirteenth trick.
It Is readily apparent that no one
would have adopted this line Of play
If West had not made . give-away
double.

Will WEED OUT

POLICE BELIEVE
Insurance Companies
Support Proposal
BY DANIEL O'CONNELL

Despite strong objections from
Washington's taxi drivers, plan
to compel each one to submit to
fingerprinting gained momentum
today as District authorities moved
to put the new liability insurance
law into effect.
For the past year, the proposal
has been under consideration by
the Public Utilities Commission at
the insistence of Washington'S Po-
lice Department. New impetus
was given to the plan today when
it was revealed that the insurance
companies who are expected to
underwrite the new insurance ex-
planned that they favor the idea
to protect themselves.
In the face Of the drivers OBJ
jections, the proposal will be
pushed, it is said, in the interest
of cutting down the number Of
cabs.
It is proposed to fingerprint all
drivers Of taxicabs but to keep
the fingerprints in a separate file
Of the police department aside
from the one kept by the police
Bureau Of Criminal Identification.
WILL PUSH PLAN
Inspector Bernard w. Thomp.
son, chief Of detectives, has for
some time recommended that such
a procedure be set up in Wash
ington, but the Commissioners did
not think that such a system
would improve the taxicab situa-
ton here.
Now, however. with the advent
Of the taxicab liability law, the
insurance companies, it is said
will push the matter as q means

said today. Most of them are
a swell bunch of men and the
fingerprint system would help
them a whole lot by wedding

HIS 18TH CHILD.

WATCHMAN, 81
Boarman Says He Feels
Like a Kid Again

Washington's wonder baby was
doing very nicely" today in Provi-
dence Hospital, too busy accus-
toming himself to the ways of this
world to be concerned over the
nationwide interest his arrival Gre
ated.
The baby'S father, 82-year-old
George Boarman, a night watch
man for the Wilson Line, seemed
to be holding up very well under
the strain.
HAS YOUNG WIFE
Being father is nothing new
for George Boarman. He's been
through the experience 26 times.
But it was the first child for his
third wife, 21-year-old Mrs. Edith
William Boarman, who also was
reported doing nicely" at the hos
pital but who occupied spot in
the background in the unusual sit
uation.
Makes me feel like a kid
again. Bet folks think I'm a
crackerjack." Boarman told
newspapermen.
LOSES COUNT
Boarman's first wife bore him
Is children before she died. His
second marriage was childless.
Boarman didn't rightly know
just how many Of his children
were alive, but calculated there
were eight or ten. He said he just
couldn't tell how many grandchil-
dren he had, but added his grand
daughter, Jeanette, soon was to
present him with a great-grand-
child.
"Thatll be someone to keep
my son company and play with"
the wonder watchman observed.
The twenty-sixth Boarman
child was born Sunday.

TB CHILDREN'S.
HEALTH CAMP.
FINALLY FILLED
But $l88 Still Needed
For Expenses

Thanks to the generosity Of
Washingtonians affairs at the
Children's tuberculosis Camp at
Bald Eagle Hill today are $1S6.29
improved. For that amount has
been contributed since last night,
Mrs. Ernest Cant. director of the
tuberculosis Association said. She
added that only $1ss.5O more is
needed.
The camp is now filled to capac-
ity, Mrs. Grant said, with the
addition today of another child,
making 26 little patients in all.
FORMALITIES WAIVED
This child, the director stated,
Is in the first stages Of the dis
ease, brought on through contact
with her father, whose condition
was found to be so far advanced
that, he vas sent last night to
Glenn Dale Sanitarium.
Due to the child's home condi-
lions, all fermalities were waived,
permitting admission to Bald
Eagle Hill.
With money derived from the
sale of Christmas Seals, the asso-
citation opened the camp with 100
youngsters, all that its funds
would care for.
There was still bed space and
play room for 26 youngsters who
would benefit from the sunshine
and outdoor life the camp pro-
vides. So the Washington Times
and the Washington Herald, in
conjunction with the tuberculosis
Association, started a campaign to
raise $4,000 and send Is more to
the camp.
YOU CAN STILL GIVE
'Up until today" Mrs. Grant
said, I'VE had sufficient funds to
send 81 children to the camp.
I was so heartened by news Of
contributions coming into The
Times and The Herald and at
the same time SO distressed at
reports of the four cases, which
were sent to the camp today, I
decided to bank on faith in
Washington and fill the camp"
Contributions still will be re-
ceived by the Patterson Papers
and the association until the
$4,000 goal is reached.

InUents Labor Saving
Hay Stacking Device.

Walker-Necessity proved to be the
mother of invention for Ben C. Johnson
of Pequot who, feeling that he had
pitched enough hay for any one mortal
man, recently invented a method Of
moving hay from shock to stack top
without touching it with fork. Mr..
Johnson's ingenious continuance con-
sists of rope sling arrangement which
is placed around shocks and then drawn
tight as the horses pull the load away.
While a representative of the local
paper watched, Mr.. Johnson in one
load hauled several large shocks
amounting to half ton of hay, a dis
lance of several hundred yards over
very stony ground to the stack. At the
stack a longer rope was attached to
the load and it was elevated from one
end of the stack to position on top.
Mr.. johnson claims and proved this
method works far better on stony
ground than even the expensive hay
bucks and automatic leaders.

circumstances, another closed season on
these species of upland game birds will
be very beneficial and may justify an
open season next year.
After careful study the decision was
reached that there would be no open
season on mourning doves this fall.
This was one of the most controversial
questions before the division of game
and fish. There was a great deal of
sentiment expressed by sportsmen to
the effect that inasmuch as there is an
abundance of mourning doves in Min
nesota, and furthermore they are raised
here, that the department should not
deprive Minnesota sportsmen of the
opportunity to shoot part of the crop
while southern states have open seasons.
The department, however, carefully
considered the fact that this state is
especially fortunate compared to most
others in the wide variety of species of
game which the hunters are allowed to
take and the fact that the mourning
dove is definitely known to be of great
benefit to the farmer because of the
vast quantities of weed seeds it destroys.
1t was therefore felt that a closed
season was advisable, especially as the
dove is. classed by many as a nom
game bird, and is considered an at
tractive and valuable summer resident
in the state, reports Mr.. Speakes.
