at no trump. They keep trying to push the no trump contracts into their partners hand. She gives an example in todays hand, in whcih a woman player bid suit in re- sponse to her partners bit, when she would have been better of to have bid no trump,
 The queen of hearts won the first trick. East returned the six of hearts, and West let the declarer hold the trick. Not being sure of the length of the heart suit, de- clarer tried finesse of the jack of clubs. East won, led the heart, and after making his suit West exited with a diamond. Declarer could win only eight tricks before losing @ trick to the king o5 spades.
 Had North bid the no trump, East would have opened a spade and siinplified the declarer's tack Even if East should open the deuce of hearts. declarer would know that the defense could1win no more than thre hearts, and he would at once give up q trick to the spade king in order to establish nine top tricks.

Crossing Street Against Light
 Aids Driver
MOtOrist Discharged d in Court Car Hit Two Pe-
 destrians Feb. III

Testimony that two pedes- trianS struck by an automo- bile at East Main and Cherry streets were crossing the street against a red light and not within a cross-walk won Rene Houle, 20, of 234 Meri- den road a discharge on a charge of reckless driving in municipal court today. Houle was arrested February Ill after his car struck Emma ! 'Dionella of 79 Dikennan street and Mary Lombardo of 219 Orange street. Both girls testified today and admitted that they were not crossing the street on the cross-walk. One of the girls said that the red light was against them as they started to cross.
 It was pointed out that the acci- dent happened at 7:15 8. m. the morning following the inauguration of war time. A number of acci- dents have occurred in the early morning hours since all clocks were advanced an hour in the interest of conserving electricity,
 Houle told the court that he was driving slowly on East Main street, that the light was green, and that he did not see the girls until they were less than five feet in front of him. He was unable to stop on time to avoid hitting them, he said. Both girls were treated at St.. Mary's Hospital, where Houle took them after the accident. Judge T. E. Conway granted the discharge.

Tt was like chewing gum, but we were too hungry to mind," Ald- rich said.
 They also shot an alabatroSs which was also consumed raw, and on the 18th day caught another fish which Dixon "just grabbed off the back of the boat"
 Before their odyssey was half over they were completely naked. Rough seas tipped the boat over 8 dozen times and their clothing, which they had removed 70 catch rain, fell into the sea. They began to suffer from sunburn and lost three or four lay CTS of skin.
 Both Aldrich and Pastula, were bit- ten on the bands by sharks while they rowed.
 "T.he sun made us feel like we were being cooked like a Thanks giving turkey" Dixon said.
 About to Give Up
 "It was on the 33rd day. We were about to give up, but talked the situation over and decided to take whatever was coming like real men of war so we shook hands.
 About 9:3O a. m. the next day Aldrich said, "Chief, l think I see a field of corn"
 T thought the boy was gone then, but when we came to the top of a roller I saw a green-fringed island, We rowed nadly so we wouldn't drift past and went in over 8 reef"
 we decided to march ashore like American sailors, but we were too weak to march so we just staggered, leaning on poles.
 we knew if it was a Japanese island, we would be shot,"
 They slept that night-the night of Feb. 19-in 8 copra shed.
 The next morning friendly beach patrol found them and brought help.
 "Our dispositions and tempers were pretty thin and we nearly fought over whether we would eat too much food" Dixon related.
 However, we were nearly down and out and had to be content with what they gave us. They carried us to bedS."
 As a sequel to their ordeal, the island was swept by the most dis astrous hurricane in the memory of its inhabitants before navy ship picked them up and brought them to Honolulu.
