first two rounds. Declarer won the
second round in the dummy and
finessed the diamond j, which held.
He then laid down the diamond A
and gave up a diamond to East.
East then cashed the club A and
returned a spade. South cashed
his remaining diamonds but had to
lead away from his heart suit.
AS South could not have made
the contract without the diamonds,
as well as clubs, and realizing that
if the club A was in the hand with
two others that it would be held up
until the third round, he should
have won the first club in the
dummy, taken a diamond finesse,
then led another club and tried the
finesse again. In this way game
would have been made.

things, very high incidence Of
kidney stones.
Three Factors Present
On this basis we may reason that
kidney stones are due to three fac
tors: first, an alkaline urine; Sec
ond, discrimination or hardening of
the cells of the pelvis of the kidney,
and. third, infection. We know
that Vitamin A has something to
do with all of these things; that
Vitamin A alone will change an
alkaline to an acid urine (Which is
what it ought to be normally, will
reduce discrimination and help to
prevent infection.
A diet high in Vitamin A, which
is also high in acid-ash, is possibly
one which will prevent kidney
stones. No one, of course, can live
on such a diet all his life, but those
who are subject to stones and have
had one operation may go on this
diet as trial.
Acid-ash foods are as follows:
white bread, whole wheat bread,
sweet dried corn, crackers, cram
berries, eggs, egg white, egg yolk,

chicken, frog, lean pork, rabbit,
veal, oysters, oatmeal, peanuts,

East Africa, fought on after the
armistice and only laid down
arms when the news Of collapse
came at long last.
THE German Standout in Tan
ganyika is one Of the sagas
of the war and has not been
greatly sung. When hostilities
broke out in August, 1914, Paul
Lettow-Vorbeck, a soldier of for
tune, a veteran of the Boxer re-
bellion in China and Of half a
dozen native African wars, was
given command OF the farmers,
civil servants and the few men
Of military training in the settle
ment. He mustered an army of
800 whites and 1900 natives.
Lettow-Vorbeck fought Brit
ish, Beers, Hindus, French and
Belgians and thoroughly
thrashed a superior British
force at the battle of Tanga as
late in the war as 1915. An out
standing hero, you hear little or
nothing of him because he
fought on a front from which
little or no news got into head

The only reason why the small

could-and he did a splendid
job.

beck lodged and hid-and then
struck with the swiftness and
the mercilessness Of a tiger. The
natives adored him. After he
laid down arms he went back
to Germany and was accorded
a triumphant procession. He
then organized the Lettow Free
Corps, composed Of young Ger
mans, and fought the Commu-
niSts at Hamburg. He later
helped reorganize the German
army and numbered among his
close friends such former foes as

Another Analysis

Adolph Hitler remembers
when the Kaiser declared war
upon the civilized world because
he thought that it would be an
easy victory.
From all over the world, the
Jews financed the wars, de-
feated Germany, took pity on its
non-combatants, women end
children, loaned money to the
pauperized German people to
keep them from starving to
death since they were living on
such meager food as bread and
water.
This mailman is seeking re-
venge. He imagines by filming
the Jews Of Germany millions
of dollars that he might be able
to build up his national de-
lenses, army. navy and air force
to defeat the world.
If Hitler dared to take leave

I vote that the most irritating
blight to an enjoyable afternoon

assailed by the imposing sena-

My theory is that they are
