West took the king and ace OF
hearts, and then shifted to the king
of clubs. Dummy took the club ace,
and the plays which followed showed
that South knew his way around
bridge table.
The average player would bang
down the three top trumps and
would eventually score a two-trick
set. A slightly cagier player would
4 finesse one way or the other for the
spade Jack, and the result would de-
pend on the way he happened to
guess.
The actual South player made
no trump play at all. Instead he
Ncalmly cashed the top diamonds and
continued with another diamond.
East won and had to return dia-
mond for lack of anything better.
Thus far South had managed to
restrict the diamond loss; the next
step was to avoid a trump loss. He
therefore exited from the dummy
with a club. West could take two
club tricks, but then any further
play gave South free trump
fnesse.
The moral is: Whenever possible
let the opponents do your guessing
for you.

(By Associated Press)

MONTREAL, Feb. 6.-James
M. Wise, son of Rabbi Stephen
Wise of New York, spoke before
a large gathering of Canadians
here last night on the attitude of
the United States on the Euro
pean War.
Stating the belief, which ap-
parently didn't set well with his
hearers, that the United States
was bending every effort to keep
out of the war, Wise went on to
score both Prime Minister Cham
berlain and Premier Daladier of
France for their conduct of pre-
war negotiations.
Both France and England
were derelict in their duty to
protect Democracy, he stated
This statement and others of
similar nature, caused a large
share of the audience to abruptly
leave the hall and slam doors on
their way out, and others to
sound loud booS.

COUNTY TAX ASS E S S o r
WARNS OWNERS OF AN
NUAL NECESSITY

Applications for homestead ex-
emptions in Monroe county, ac-
cording to information given out
today by Tax Assessor J. Otto
Kirchheiner, should be filed at
the earliest moment possible.
There are quite a number of
home owners, said Mr.. Kirch-
heiner, who do not seem to be
aware of the ruling in this mat
ter, which stipulates that each
year the homestead owner must
file an application for exemption,
and this must be done without
fail.
Up to the present time there
have been approximately 600 APP
plications received at the office
of the tax assessor out of a>pos-
sible 1900, but there seems to be
quite number of persons who
do not realize the necessity of
making the application. 1t must
be done, however, said Mr.
Kirchheiner, and if it is not done
the homestead owner will suffer.
