or four nights In succession and an
occasion when the coup can be ex-

frequently, too, average players do
not recognize the chance to employ
1t when 1t is presented and when it
offers the only opportunity to make
a contract. Therefore, when a grand

North was dealer, and the side
was vulnerable.
North. with three tricks plus, bid
one club. East, not vulnerable, put
in q nuisance overcall of one dia-
mond which in any event could not
be expensive in view of the fact that
the hand held eight cards Of that
suit and q blank in spades. South
(Mrs. Linderman), with three plus
high card tricks. Jumped to two
spades. West passed and North
called three hearts. That looked as
If North and South could 60 some-
where, and when East passed, Mrs.
Linderman bid four no-trump, which
North raised to five spades.
Six spades by South was doubled
by West. 1t looked like q good dou-
ble in view Of hts partners bid Of
one diamond, in which suit he held
the king. as well as the guarded
king of hearts and four spades to
the Queen-l0.
It all seemed very easy momen-
tarily for South when West led the
king of diamonds and dummy went
down. Mrs. Linderman won the
trick in her own hand with the ace
and laid down the king Of trumps to
prevent West from making q pos
sible singleton queen If she CHANGED
q finesse. But, surprisingly, East
was void Of spades, with four for the
two honors held hv West.
A change Of strategy was neces-
sary.; The. declarer saw that her
contract could only be made by =
grand coup, and that to make 1t
West would have to hold three
hearts to the king, which was prob
able in view Of his double. Her third
lead was the four Of diamonds,
which was trumped in dummy. Then
followed the lead of two clubs, the
second one taken In dummy. The
lead of the queen Of clubs, upon
which East discarded, was good, but
Mrs. Linderman trumped It.
It was then time to try out the
hearts. She finessed and the jack
in dummy held the trick. She next
led and trumped the good ace os
clubs. Another heart lead was won
by the queen in dummy and the
lead Of the ace took Vests king,
thus leaving him with three trumps,
the queen, 10 and 8. Mrs. Linder-
man then played the nine Of spades
In dummy and nonchalantly tossed
OF the six from her own hand, leav-
Ing her with the ace and jack, into
which West was obliged to lead from
his queen-8 and lost both tricks.

Persons who are inclined to be-
lieve the best bridge players live
in the metropolitan centers such as
New York, Philadelphia. Chicago,
Cleveland, Boston and Washington
should consult the honor roll of
problem solvers conducted by Sam
Fry in Bridge World. Each month
Mr.. Fry submits q list Of problems,
and the answers are analyzed by
experts and rated with certain
credits according to their merits.
In the most recently published
list it will be found that New York
had only one master solver and
Brooklyn one. while the little town
of Meridian, Miss. had four. There
are small towns difficult to find on
the map which have master solvers,
while none are listed from Chicago,
Boston, Philadelphia, San Fran
cisco, New orleans and Atlanta,
which are supposed to have the
great bridge minds. Cleveland.
Okla, had three winners in the
compilation, while the big city Of
the same name in Ohio, had only
one. Wabasha, Mimi; Newman,

The opening diamond lead was
won by declarer with the king,

nine-spot. Ellis made a very nice
return, the six of spades-but he
was playing with a strange part

the ace of spades, and lost the
chance to defeat the contract.

LINDA DARNELL'S
ROOSTER UNHAPPY
Pet Chicken, Reared In Seclu,
sion, Learns About Life's
HarshnesS

HOLLYWOOD, June a. (P -
This is a record of Weedy's single
adventure.
Weedy is a two-year-old White
Leghorn rooster, owned and fed and
pampered by Linda Darnell of the
movies, lucky fellow. Weedy was
born down Dallas way, an undis-
tinguished chicken until he was
dyed purple at a tender age and
presented to Linda OF Easter.
Weedy, unlike most of his fellow
gifts, who die either from too much
attention or of modification upon
discovering they have been dipped
in some hideous pastel coloring,
grew up to be big and strong and
proud. And lost, of course, his pur-
pie hue.
Weedy sleeps in a special bed, eats
at the Darnell dining table and en-
joys the same food Linda eats. The
other day Linda took Weedy with
her to a riding academy to get him
out in the air but she did not put

p%recocious.
She was waiting for her horse
when she saw Weedy had discovered
"a flock of chickens. Leghorns, like
himself, too. Weedy had never seen
any other chickens since reaching
adulthood. So, she says. he actually
registered surprise. But not for long.
Then, like any other male, Weedy
began strutting. Two years of
monachism had not left him un-
aware of his charms-nor of those
of the hens he was trying to I'm
press.
There was a commotion then and
Linda saw another White Leghorn
rooster-larger, but clearly not such
a beauty as her Notwithstanding
several kinds of indignation and
preparing to do something about
this ursurper.
He charged Weedy. Weedy fled
in terror to the arms of his mis-
tress, disheveled, disheartened and
frightened by the things in this big
4, world he was just discovering.
Linda took Weedy home.
Weedy has been acting very I'm
happy lately.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, June 22-R
Five hundred Pennsylvania youths
are tackling the problems of CAPT

practical fashion by organizing and
operating 'miniature' companies
that turn out articles ranging from
a 25-cent clothes line reel to a
SIS baby incubator.
They subscribe stock in the firms
l. initial investments averaging
from $3.50 to s1O-and elect presi-
dents, treasurers and other COM
pany officers. Then, in factories"
established in cellars or abandoned
buildings, produce the products that
their sales managers later peddIe
to housewives and agencies.
The program, Sknown as junior
achievement and backed by promin-
ent business men, is linked with a
nationwide organization that boasts
more than 5000 embryo industrial
lists and c, 1000 graduates" those
who have passed the eligible age
