 A diamond was led to dummy's queen and another trump lead picked up Vests guarded Jack. After the fourth trump round, the ace and jack of diamonds were cashed. followed by the last trump. At this point East could keep only two cards, with dummy discard ing after him. If he discarded the king of hearts, durlmy's heart queen and ace of clubs would win the last two tricks. He chose to discard the club ten, whereupon the queen of hearts was discarded from dummy, and the ace and nine of clubs won the last two tricks.

 A second trump was then led from dummy, West played the ten and ieclarer won with the queen. Dummy needed the lead for an- other trump finesse, so North led small diamond and finessed the nine. West won and returned a heart, declarer winning with the ace.

Bank Robbery Nipped

Arrest Of forger named Di Santo
IN Tucman, Argentina, prevented
the robbing Of branch of the Bank
OF the Nation. Just as the bandits
( were about to make an armed at
tack on the bank, the Buenos Aires
police broadcast q warning that
large-scale robberies might be ex-
pected in the northern provinces.
This caused the gang to decide that
1t would be safer to get into the
bank by an underground tunnel.
They rented a house near the in
stitution and were about to begin
boring when they were captured.
Arturo Placeres, one of the leaders,
Informed the police that the gang
had 100000 in spurious paper
money which 1t was on the point Of
circulating.

Vests double of South's opening
diamond bid was sound although
hot overstrong, and North's redouble
was fully justified. Now let's glance
at East's worthless hand. East rea-
soned that II he passed his partner
would be sure to bid spades. Thus,
solely to relieve him from an en-
barrassing situation, East quite
properly bid one heart.
For some peculiar reason West de-
cided that this bid showed some
strength, for he now bid one no
trump. When North promptly dou-
bled, East desperately rescued in
hearts for a second time. South now
decided he had been silent long
enough. He therefore bid two no
trump, and his partner naturally
raised him to game. However, West
was still not convinced that his
partners hand could be as bad as 1t
was. He now doubled for business,
whereupon North gleefully redou-
bled.
East was through. Being vulnera-
BILE, he didn't dare go to four hearts.
Hence he passed and despairingly
watched his opponents make three
no trump redoubled with two over
tricks. While Vests bidding was
quite stupid, we believe this hand
clearly illustrates that a bid over a
redouble simply indicates a five-card
suit and probably extreme weakness.

the Italian Navy received orders

intentions of attacking Greece.
Duce MuSsolini held the naval
threat necessary since French

From Washington came rath-

move in the bill in the House to
allow America to sell military
nations war supplies in exchange
for much needed rubber and tin.
The move foreshadows trade
with Holland, England, France
and Belgium in these matters,
and is designed as another move
in the threat of power to be used
against the totalitarian nations.

DISTRICT CITED

MONROE COUNTY WOULD
HAVE SENATOR OF IT'S
OWN IF REAPPoRTIoNING
PLAN IS ADOPTED

Monroe County will form a
new senatorial district and have
a senator of its own if Senator
VIM. c. Hodges plan for reap
Forthcoming the state senate goes
through this session of the Legis-
lature.
Under Senator Hodges plan
six new senators will be given
southern Flodida, increasing the
number of state senators from SO
to A. This plan leaves Lee, Col
ller and Herdry counties, now
a part of the oath district, with
one senator.
In splitting the present 24th
district, Senator Hodges told the
senate that fair play demands
southern Florida's large sena-
torial districts should be split to
bring them in line with the rest
OF the state and since amending
the constitution is the only way
to do this, he feels that the con-
StItutlOn should be so amended.
If the Legislature passes the
Hodges plan the people will have
an opportunity to vote on it in
the 1910 general election.
