Two serious errors were committed
in the play of this hand. Declarer
committed the first bridge crime, but
fortunately for him it was nullified
when his West opponent failed to
take advantage of it.
West opened small heart, and
after winning with the jack, South
led spade to dummy and then lost
the club f1nesse. West now laid down
the king of hearts, and when declarei
played low, continued the suit. De-
clarer now established the club suit
and when West got in, he cashed
his last heart, which, however, gave
him total of only four tricks.
Have you spotted the two mistakes?
The first occurred when declarer re-
fused to win the second round OF
hearts. There was no point in hold
ing up his ace, for if West had FIVE
card suit and the club re-entry, the
contract could not be made; if he
had only four hearts, the contract
was safe.
South'S mistake was Immediately
followed by worse blunder on the
part of West. Obviously he could
win only four tricks by continuing
hearts, and thus shift was indi-
Gated. Since declarer was marked
with the spade ace, this left only one
suit diamonds-which, need
less to say, would have defeated the
contract handily. Vests excuse was
to our mind very naive. How could
I lead diamonds" he said, when de-

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

OF all the mounds found on this
continent the Great Serpent mouno
ranks at or near the top in public
interest. 1t is in Adams County
Ohio.
When we measure along it's curves
we find that the Great Serpen,
mound has length of almost ex-
actly quarter of a mile. In some
parts, the body of the serpent" is
from 3 to 5 feet high.
In front of the wide-open laws
OF the serpent is an object of oval
shape. This object may be meant
as an egg which the serpent is about
to swallow. The oval is go feet wide
and 120 feet long, which would
make it quite an egg.
We are not certain whv the Mound
Builders made this mound. 1t seems
to have had nothing to do with
burial. Scientists have dug under
1t in many places, but have not
found single skeleton.
The Mound Builders of this re-
gion probably prayed to a serpent
god. They may have worked TO,
years to make giant image of this
kind. 1t is the longest of all mounds
which have been found.

completely furnished by Lansburgh

The living room has been fur
nished in 18th century style. A
feature piece in the room is the
graceful Chippendale sofa. uphol-
stored in green brocatelle. There
is also a pair of upholstered arm
chairs. An attractive grouping IN
one corner of the room is composed
of a lounge chair and a Gov. Win
throp desk of mahogany. The room
is given balance through use OF
bookshelves on either side OF the
large window.
A feeling of spaciousness Is OBJ
tanned by the grouping OF dining
room furniture. The dining table
and chairs are placed directly IN
front of the window instead OF the
center of the room as is customary.
Rugs In both the living and dining
rooms are of interesting multi
colored Nantasket pattern. The
praperies in both rooms are floor
length and are made OF printed
Georgian linen. Matching occasional
tables and lamps add needed acces-
sorry notes to the rooms.

March Home Loan
Volume Greatest
Since August
First-Quorter Figures
13 Per Cent Above
Same 1888 Period

Savings, building and loan asso-
Citations made a larger volume OF
loans in March than during any
month since last August, the United
States Building and Loan League re-
ported today. The disbursement OF
$73,378, 10000 during the third month
brought the first quarters total of
loans to a two-year high for the
period. 13 per cent more than dur
ing the first quarter Of 1888.
The March volume of loans was
rs per cent larger than February
and represented a net gain Of IL
per cent over March, 1888. 1t was
a larger total than that registered
for any month of 1888 except Au-
gust.
Loans for the building of new
houses made an even more spec
tacular record. THE $21 ,254 900 ad-
vanced by the associations in March
for this purpose was more than in
any March of the past nine years
and brought the first quarters to-
tai of construction loans to $751;
100000. greater by 124 per cent
than any first-quarter's record in
this decade.
A. D. Theobald, Chicago, assistant
vice president of the league, pointed
out that volume of loans for COM
bined purposes during January
February and March was $187 ,253,-
OOU, of which more than a third
went directly for employment OF
building tradesmen through new
construction and modernization
loans. March saw the largest vol
ume of modernization loans since
November as we'll as setting a new
record for the month in construc-
ton lending.
Home purchasing loans accounted
for 1877 per cent of all the money
loaned in March, an indication that
at least a seasonal improvement
in the market for real estate has
taken place, Mr.. Theobald pointed
out. Thrift and home financing in
stitutions supplied SOL 1926 900 to sup
port the market for residential
properties during the first three
months, the figures on home-pur-
chase loans indicate.
1.-THE seasonal increase from Feb
ruary to March in total loan vol
ume was less than in the three
previous years, but this is largely
due to the fact that both January
and February were the record
months of the decade in volume OF
loans granted, said Mr.. Theobald
