second diamond discard. so that
South made two overtricks.
One West player decided that at
nearly every table the lead would
be likely to be a heart. He reck-
oned that South probably did not
have both the A and Q Of dia-
monds. II his own partner had
either, that lead could not directly
cost a trick, and would be differ
ent from the other players leads.
So he led the diamond 5 to the Q
and A.
South then tried to get rid OF
a diamond before losing the lead.
He played three high clubs. dis
carding a diamond on the third
one. but West runed with the
spade 4, cashed the diamond and
returned his diamond X to South's
ruff. Later West got trick with
his spade @. when South tried a
finesse. so the contract was held
to 4-Spades exactly. with no over
tricks. AT every other table South
made one or two overtricks.

SHOOTING FOR TOPS

STREAMING to gain top score
on a hand in duplicate play does
not necessarily mean trying some
thing which places the odds ire
mendously against your success.
That more often results in a bot
tom score than top. A better at
titude is to seek some move, OF
course different from what you
think most players will use at
other tables. but which is equally
or nearly as sound as the one they
probably will employ.

GOV. SMITHS PORTRAIT
WILL Be RESTORED

One of the first oil portraits in the
State House to be included in the res
toration program recently announced
by Governor Herbert r. O'Conor was
Thomas C. Corners painting of for
mer Governor John Walter Smith,
which hangs on the East wall of the
Senate Chamber. The portrait, which
is a remarkable likeness of the for
mer Governor has been restored beau
tifully and the ornate frame which
had begun to show the passage of
time has been put into perfect condi-
ton.
Governor Smith, one Of Worcester
County's most celebrated citizens, was
the forty-seventh Governor Of Mary
land, serving from 1900 to 1904, prior
to which time he had filled the post
of President of the State Senate. In
1908 he was elected to the United
States Snate and continued there as
one of Maryland's two Senators until
1921.
Chief Judge Samuel K. Dennis of
the Supreme Bnch Of Baltimore City
was secretary to Governor Smith
when he was the Chief Executive of
the State.

GAS the campaign draws to a

Mr.. Roe made a short talk on
Mother Earth, a suitable text fol

political reference. His talk was
somewhat hampered by severe cold
Over in Somerset there seems to

One of the best recommendations
for the reelection of Congressman

of those public servants who believe
that when the people send them tc

doing this.

SENATOR ROE IS
GUEST SPEAKER
FOR ROTARIANS
Addresses Club And Farmer
Guests Monday On Topic,
'MOther Earth"

Last Monday evening, the local
Rotary Club staged its annual Farm
ers' Night. Each member of the club
had as guests, one, or more, members
of the agricultural community, and, as
a result, these with the members
made up an attendance of between
65 and 70 persons.
After the usual program of club
singing, and after the serving of the
dinner, President Walter Emf turned
the meeting over to Ralph Ross, of
the entertainment committee. Mr..
Ross called on DR.. E. ]. Clarke to in
troduce the speaker of the evening,
Hon. Dudley G. Roe, of the Maryland
Senate, and also candidate for the
Lower House of Congress.
Abiding by the Rotarian rule, that
no political discussion ever constitute
a part of this organizations proceed
ings, Mr.. Roe chose as his subject
Mother EARTH, this topic was con-
sidered as the best for the occasion
The speaker treated from the stand
point of the earth's bounty, and as
the source from which is derived the
worlds wealth. Mr.. Roe was not in
the best physical condition for public
speaking as he was slowly recovering
from a severe cold, but his talk was
highly interesting.
Among the visitors present were;
Mcssrs. w. H. Hamill, ex-president Of
the Crisfield Club; and Mr.. Solomon
executive of the Delmarva Boy Scout
District.
