card the second losing heart. This
would have worked II the missing
six hearts had been divided with
three to each defender, or four in
one hand and the doubleton king
in the other. When that proved
not to be the case, they were set.
Mr.. Mortimer, however, guard
ed himself against the terrible
break Of the suit which did de-
velep, with FIVE in one hand. To do
that, he needed every re-entry the
dummy possessed. So he went to
work on the diamonds immediate
ly after winning the first trick, on
which he parked the heart 2. He
laid down the diamond A, ruffed
the 8 with the spade 8, led the
spade 3 to the X, ruffed the dia-
mond 5 with the spade 8. led the
spade 4 to the Z, ruffed the dia-
mond 9 with the spade 10. led to
the heart A, ruffed the diamond
10 with the spade ], led to the
heart K and then scored the now
set-up diamond Q, discarding the
heart 10 on 1t. The spade A and
Q accounted for the last two
tricks.

@. Who was Lucena and what was
his contribution to chess?
A. Lucena was a Spaniard who
lived in the 18th century. His
treatise, Repetition de amores, y
Arte de Alxedrez con CL jurgos, y
printed about 1895, is considered TO
be the earliest practical work" on
chess, with the single exception of
the Spaniard Vicent. In the treatise
Lucenas poems and sonnets are few
and fill the opening pages, while the
division on chess consists of some
81 pages, with $50 critical chess po-
sitions that are illustrated by 164
wood-cuts. When the Portuguese
Damiano authored his chess work
in the early 18th century, he mod
estly borrowed" 120 of Lucena's S
critical positions.

Chess studies of this character are

The International Kennel Club of
Chicago, whose show is held the last

A letter from Mrs. T. J. Morris
of the Washington Animal Rescue
League informs this column that the
league lacks sufficient employees to
pick up sick dogs roaming the streets,
but it will accept sick animals sent
to the organization by taxi. The
league will call for unwanted dogs
within a day or two if notice is
given, and the dog is kept confined
until a league representative arrives.
A service for which Washington
dog owners should thank the league
and other philanthropic organiza-
tions is the new one by which
ownership of lost dogs wearing cur
rent license tags may be traced day
or night. During regular Office
hours, the information may be
secured by calling the Tax Collectors
Office, National 5000. Branch 1858.
After Office hours, the same in
formation may be obtained by calling
