mond finesse, next a heart trick to

and a spade, going down two tricks.
Mr.. Wilson, however, made the con-
tract. Noting from tho lead that
West held the heart honors that
were out, he decided to place the
others with East.
After winning with the heart A,
he played to the diamond A and f.
messed the club 10 to the K. West
took his heart @, then led trump to
dummy's A. A heart ruff put South
in to lead club and ruff it. then
diamond was ruffed and the spade
K cashed. Followed three clubs, the
last of which East had to ruff. and
the final trick was the spade @,
making the contract with the loss
of one club, one heart and one ruffed

By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.

IN A DISCUSSION the other
night by one Of the leaders of the
movement to eradicate tuberculosis
IN the United States, he made four
especially important points.
FIRST, he emphasized the value of
tne use Of the tuberculin test in ex-
aiming all school children, high
School children, and especially teach
ers. The reason for the examina-
tlon OF teachers is that tuberculosis
OF the lungs probably is transmitted
ehtlrely by contact from one person
70 the other-usually from an adult
10 child. The adult who is car
Tier Is entirely innocent and has no

PLACE MISSING HONOKs

IF NEITHER OPPONENT has
made any bid and one Of them shows
honors in particular suit, it gener-
ally pays to count his partner for
the high cards in other suits. The
reason is that Il the outstanding
honor strength were all in one hand,
there probably would have been a
bid from its holder. BY making such
q natural deduction, and selecting
your fnesse tactics accordingly.
you will make many a contract
which would be beaten If you dis
regarded it.

TvbercU1in Tests
Urged for Schools
Dr. Cendenine Passes On Suggestion Of Specialist
Thot All Teachers Be Examined, Too

was the second point made by the
tuberculosis specialist.
His third point was that the tu-
berculin reaction is 100 per cent eff
ficient. If person has had tubercu-
losis at any time in his life, whether
active or passive, he will react posi-
lively. The tuberculin test, then, is
simply the first step in determining
the status Of tuberculous indi-
vidual. The second step is to have
an X-ray picture Of the chest made
to see whether the case is "open".
If it is, Il should be treated.
The best method of treating an
open case today is collapse of the
lung, or collapse of the chest. Moth
ing else seems to be Of permanent
value.
Final Step
The final step in the attack
against tuberculosis is the removal
of the other important source of
contagion besides human beings,
infected cattle. This was discussed
in the article yesterday. ~
With these measures, the univer-
sal use of tuberculin testing, follow
ing back an infected case to the
source, quarantining the source and
closing open forms of tuberculosis,
we may expect to reduce the Incl
dence Of tuberculosis to the vanish
ing point. The actual number of
deaths from, tuberculosis has de-
creased steadily, but the decrease
has come virtually to a standstill
since the depression. Most commu-
mites are unable to apply universal
tuberculin tests on account of eco
Monies, but in order to eradicate
this plague finally, such measures
will have to be adopted.

We got to know each other by
sight and saw one or two Of them,
who were in real trouble, age about
five years in as many days. Some
Of them, though, didn't seem to give
a rap whether they ever got home or
not. Hitler had marched into Po-

clared war. Two men outside the
American Express office were read

the Paris edition of the New York

while I was on the road, making
my way to Zurich.
It was worse than Germany. The
Swiss have army trucks just as big
as the Germans and they seem
bigger because the Swiss roads are
narrower. They have twice as many
rules and regulations and they be-
gan to change these rules every
morning.
Arranges to Store Car.
The first rule I heard about was
that when you leave Switzerland
you can take only 10 htres of gas
with you. That wouldn't get me
very far-not the way my old boat
was eating it up. Then, for three
days, another rule-nobody gets
any gas any time. So I went around
to the Swiss Automobile Club and
made arrangements to store my car
for one year in Switzerland. I had
