sons will say, How sad that Law
renee is no longer alive!"
Lawrence won fame in the World
war of 1914-18. Far and wide, he
became known as "Col. T. E. Law
renee" or-even more commonly
as Lawrence of Arabia"
At the age of %, Lawrence was
studying the history and language
of the Arabs at oxford. He broke
off his studies to make a journey to
the Near East. For months he
wandered through Syria and Pal
estine and became friends with
MANY Arabs of those lands.
At that time the Turkish Empire
reached out much farther than it
does TODAY. The Turks had power
over great numbers of Arabs and
their empire touched the Red Sea.
On day Lawrence asked a Turk
ish official to let him go to a small
island near the coast Of the Red
Sea.
"Why do you want to go there?"
asked the official.
II want to study the remains Of
ancient ruins" replied Lawrence.

West opened the jack of hearts,
South winning with the queen.
Declarer then cashed the ace and
queen of diamonds, feeling very dis
appointed when West failed to
follow suit on the second round.
South took the three top spades
and returned to his hand with the
fnesse. Unfortunately, however,
East took the club king, cashed his
two established jacks, and led a
heart; and then, of course, West
took the rest of the tricks.
AS you see, South won only seven
tricks, so something must have
slipped somewhere. Should the hand
have been played at five OF minor?
And, if so, who committed the
bidding crime? Or should South
have made three no-trump?
South should have made his con-
tract of three no-trump. Correct
play is to win the first diamond
trick in the dummy, and then to
finesse the diamond nine on the
second round of diamonds. AS the
cards lie, that gives South 10 tricks;
but it would assure nine tricks even
II West could win the trick. The
important thing was to develop the
ninth trick without giving the lead
to East. X X y X
