HOW MANY ARE OUT?

THE QUESTION Of how to
play combination Of cards. in
order to take the maximum num-
Der OF tricks with it, depends not
only upon the height of the MISS
ing ones in the suit. which are
held by the opponents. but also
upon the number Of them. Still
another factor is the information
given by bids or plays Of the OPP
i ponents. which may furnish indi-
cations regarding the probable To-
cation Of the hidden cards.
How these factors operate is
emphasized by combination like
that below. the numbered hands
being different dummies opposite
the same declarer's spade combi-
nation. granting plenty Of side en-
tries into both hands.

public is hereby requesting the
State WPA Administrator to
make public in each county, the
names and salaries of the nom

workers in that county wherein
they are employed.
We understand the reason
why relief workers would not
want their names made public,
but the non-relies (10ec of total
project workers employed, which
in Pierce county would be in
the neighborhood of 300), and
the administrative (office work
ers) should be publicized in
order to avoid any criticism Of
the Democratic Party using re-

The Progressive Democrats Of

Pittsburgh, 10000 gained
1886, 1e3o-40 lost ORG.
St Louis. 10000 gained

Considering the military situ-
alton this is startling. However,
the real facts are even more un-
pleasant
It is well known that not al
our population is equal in either
physical or mental inheritance.
U. s. army tests in 1e17-ls

one element Of national weak

have increasingly been commit

accelerated the moron. the near

We have clever but ruthless
enemies who recognize only

Business Affairs: Despite the
great production of American
