West opened the deuce Of spades,
and Mr.. Sheinwold Csitting EaSp
won with the ace of spades. He
thought briefly and then picked the
only one of his u remaining cards
which could lead TO the defeat OF
the contract. Before you read on
see if you can say which card he
led.
Mr.. Sheinwold's choice was the
ten of hearts! Continuing spades
was obviously useless, diamonds
were held by dummy, and South
probably had a club suit. so a
shift to hearts was pretty well
marked. But the shift would have
done no good if he had led low
heart. for South would have played
low and Vests king would have
been trapped; then South's jack
would have been a second heart
stopper.
As it was, South played the Jack
of hearts on East's 10. West played
the king. and South made the mis-
take of playing dummy's ace.
When West got the lead with the
ace of diamonds. he led another
heart. the East's cueen-eight trap
.,ed dummy's nine Three hearts
and two side aces thus defeated the
contract.

It's Hard to Believe

From Ossining: What is the origin
of the word Tragedy? w. w.
Answer: Prepare for real sur
prise. Tragedy is the modern form
of the Greek word tragoidia, mean
ing (give you three guesses) the song
of he-goat!
There is apparently but one ex-
planation for the peculiar origin
of the word: The singers of the an
cient Greek drama were clothed in
goatskins, the Greek word for which
in time was used to designate the
drama or tragedy. It's hard to
believe that tragedy means "a billy
goats song" but it's true.

Picking the Right Card

Some plays are so delicate that,
while an expert can see them In
actual play. most players would miss
them even on seeing all four hands,
When toaay's hand was played, for
example. Alfred P Sheinwold Of
New York City came up with the
critical play. But We think that
very few of our readers will spot
the right play even though we can
see all four hands. Try it for your
self.

FARMERS URGED
TO PREPARE FOR
THE COMING YEAR

With preparedness in the air, farm
ers are urged by the Farm Security
Administration to prepare now for
the coming crop year. This recon-
mendation is addressed especially to
farmers who will need Farm Security
loans for equipment or goods neces-
sary to carry on the farming opera
tions, according to William T. James,
Jr., FSA Supervisor, Princess Anne,
Maryland.
"These loans are available to OPP
orators of family-size farms who
need financial help and are unable
to obtain credit on reasonable terms
from other sources" Mr.. James stat
ed. ITO make sure that the money
will actually be used to improve the
situation of the borrowers, and as a
guarantee of repayments, FSA loans
are always combined with help in
working our farm and home manage
ment plans and other technical guild
ance. This program is not the US
ual over-the-counter financial trans
action. 1t is an investment in secur-
ity, and requires time and careful
consideration of the prospective bor-
rower's land resources, his farming
ability, his financial condition, mar
keting possibilities and family living
needs. That is why we urge farm
ers who want our cooperation to ap-
ply for it now"
Interested farmers may call at the
Farm Security Administration office,
