 A quaint, new custom has been inaugurated at the State Farm where having is so far behind that the help work by moonlight. At o'clock the other evening, travellers across the Purchase were surprised to hear a tractor motor hammering away. Checkup proved that it was not a relief worker trying to get away with machinery but a genuine State Farm employe raking hay with the evening dew on it. Jim Cas- sidy would have laughed himself sick if he could have seen the new scientific way of harvesting on his old farm, but Jim would have worried about that hay heat ing in the mow.
 Johnny LaChance, South Bri- tain ex-regular, writes from up- per York State and shoots along picture of the 1855 howitzers in position. The Schneiders look just as ugly as they did back in 1917, but they've been dressed up and Streamlined with big rubber tires to ride around on. What we want to know is, who changes those tires in action?
 Modern equipment is mighty fine and we need more of it, but we remember assorted chunks of hardware floating in the breeze on almost every battlefield we ever served on. Jagged pieces of hos tile shrapnel, sligthering through the air with presurre behind them, might prove to be tough on rub Der tires.
 Word arrives from the west coast that c. I. O. outfits there are planning to send a delegation to Chicago to register violent protest against coming conscription. One of our own senators is likewise doing everything possible to block the draft and his action is not meeting with approval among men who know.
 RumOrs drift in from the hin- terlands about strange trails cut through the hillside brushlands, about traces of camps in the deep woods, and other signs of the in- tercst taken in isolated regions by people unknown. It would be no surprise to some of the inhabit- ants to find a parachute, an am- muniti0n chest, or the tins left from iron rations on some far- away hilltop.

Fine Points in Bridge
By SHEPARD BARCLAY

To this point. the defenders
also played alike. West holding
his heart ], diamond Q-s and CLUB
@. and East his diamond J-9 and
club J-6. But when South played
his spade 8 to the tenth trick. the
West players chose different dis
cards. At one table. West tossed
of his club Q and East. OF course
his club 6. The declarer then
played his spade 7 and the double
squeeze was on. West had to keep
his heart to guard the dummys
0 so threw his diamond 8. The
heart was then tossed from dunn
nv. East now was squeezed be-
tween the club and his two dia-
monds, so declarer got the last
two tricks.
At the other table. when the
spade 9 was played on the tenth
trick, West discarded his diamond
8 and kept the club Q and heart J.
Thus he protected the singletons
of the enemys two holdings. so
that his partner then could safely
guard the diamond doubleton. As
a consequence, declarer had to
lose the firal trick, no matter
what he did.

AN INTRICATE FORMULA

TO MOST good players, a dou-
Bile squeeze is an intricate enough
proposition to understand. Those
who learn its component parts, SO
that they can build one them
selves, are not always able to rec
ognize when an opponent is trying
to build one. And those who get
so that they can usually spot such
an effort by the opposition are not
necessarily familiar with the ways
to thwart 1t. Sometimes 1t cannot
be stopped, but If a player knows
the formula for beating it, he may
be able to grasp his chance.
