Holding two aces. one of them
in a bid suit. and a well-guarded
king of another bid suit, the double
seemed to be perfectly safe as it
was if the lead had been correct
in the circumstances. Mr.. Shep-
pard's redouble looked hazardous.
Only a timid player would have
failed to double in the east posi-
ton and only very bold and
daring one in the south would have
redoubled. but he evidently counted
upon a lead tnat would be favorable
and he got it. Having five spades,
all of them spots, west led q spade.
Declarer trumped in dummy and
led the ace of clubs upon which he
discarded one of his losing dis-
mondS. The second club he trumped
and laid down small spade which
he trumped in dummy: then an
other club was led and trumped,
then third spade which took the
doubler'S ace After that his spades
were established and he led hearts
until east had no more and all OF
his spades were good. The last
trick he surrendered to the ace Of
diamonds and claimed six re-
doubled.
Vests unusual lead should have
been the queen of diamonds and the
side would have made two tricks
in that suit and set the contract.
Had west led his fourth best dia-
mond. his partner would have been
obliged to read it as such and
finesSed the jack. He might not
have done So but have taken the
trick with the ace and trusted to
his king of clubs to win the setting
trick which it would not have done.
The unusual lead of the queen Of
diamonds would have assured two
tricks and been fitting punishment
for South'S 1edouble.

Charles Hrissikopoulos of Corpus

On our desk lies a copy Of the

"Dr. Siegbert Tarrasch," followed by

read March 5, 1862, and know that
is when the great German chess

appears the date, February %, 1884,

NEWS FROM DOGDOM
Notes on Variety of Subjects of Interest
In Washington and Vicinity
By r. X. Taynfon.

confusion, the man dropped the
leash of the other and the dog
promptly and apparently perma-
nently disappeared.
The coming Of spring this year is
not entirely the joyous thing it
might be. In addition to the birds
and flowers it may bring less well
come visitors. visitors which may
fray the nerves of dogs as we'll as
their masters. A wise precautior
easily taken is to provide roomy,
comfortable crate with a door that
latches securely, for the family dog.
And this crate should be kept in the
basement or in another quite, Sc
cluded place. Right now, the dog
should be introduced to his crate
and made to understand that it is
his own refuge or cave. Then at the
first hint of trouble or noise, he can
be locked in his crate where he will
be reasonably safe and comfortable.
The International Kennel Club,
Inc, Of Chicago is one of the first
to publicize its coming show as being
easily accessible by rail, to every part
of the country. Fast, frequent rail
schedules from all sections of the
country terminate in Chicago. with
overnight runs offered on many lines
from distances up to and beyond
1000 miles from Chicago boasts this
organization. However, this alert
club does more than boast. Other
kennel clubs might we'll profit bv
the example it sets at its March %
and 29 show when special express
service from station TO show will be
available 10 exhibitors. At the show
there will be an express agency
booth with an attendant on constant
duty. Dogs may be shipped direct
from show TO their destinations.
If current plans materialize, box
ers and bulldogs will be among the
leading breeds at the Old Dominion
show on April 25. Keith Merrill is
scheduled to judge boxers for the
first time at this fixture and there
is no doubt that he will draw a good
entry from distant boxer fanciers
as well as local ones.
The Washington Bulldog Club is
sponsoring the bulldog classes at
this show as its speciality. 1t is Of
fering a particularly fine trophy
and cash prize list. w. r. Lyons
offers a $50 defense bond for best
Of breed and DR.. John Elvin offers
SIS defense bond for best of op-
posite sex. There are trophies down
10 fourth place in each class and a
parade of champions each of which
will receive a special rosette.

The Falls Church Fire Depart
ment has new mascot called
Frankie, short for Frankfurter. His
acquisition was by valor and his
naming in recognition of his status
as hot dog.
Recently Edward w. Tibbett's
house on the Lee Highway near
Falls Church burned. The Volunteer
Fire Department could not cope with
the blaze which eventually demol-
jshed the whole structure. But Jack
Breeden and Howard Lowry, volun-
teer firemen, heard the squeals of
the young puppies under the burning
porch, and carried them all to safety.
Even in the dull, winter season.

in the search of ribbons, points and

There have been rumors OF new

Leo Murphy does have the darn
dest luck when it comes to raising

And talking about hard luck, Mrs.

after a double he is likely to lose.
The leader must therefore decide
upon a play which he would not
ordinarily make. Frequently. it is
difficult for the average player to
dc so, but upon the accuracy of his
decision the result is likely 10 de-

INTRODUCING Ell en- Fur
lotte. fourth grade teacher at
Dickinson school.
Miss Furlotte has been feel
ing rather sheepish the last cou-
pie of days. Monday she gave
her pupils their first real scold-
ing of the year because they
were so noisy and didn't keep
their minds on their work.
She was chagrlned TO find
that it was because they were
planning a party in celebration
of her birthday anniversary.
1t was therefore also I h c
birthday of her twin 81 ste r.
Jane. who is a teacher at East
Detroit's Grant school. Being
identical twins has proven lots
of fun for both, at Michigan
State Teachers College. where
they were graduated in 1910,
and particularly last year, when
both taught in Caro-. There the
children called them the up
stairs Miss Furlotte' and the
Downstairs Miss Furlotte' ,
when they were sure which 1t
was.
Mount Clemens Miss Furlotte
was a member Of the Advisory
Board and on her dormitory
council at college. and taught at
Mayville. near Caro-, for a year
before joining her sister there.
She says she's not "sportsy
being more interested in the the
atre and concerts for recreation;
reading of current fiction and
doing needlepoint for hobbies.
Last Summer she and her sis
ter took a months trip to the
coast, a sort of farewell tour"
for the duration. They visited
Yellowstone. Grand Cany n,
Yosemite and Carlsbad Caverns,
and then scarcely unpacked be-
fore setting out again for Will
liamsburg, Va. Now they are
through travelling for while.
Miss Furlotte com es from
Birmingham; in Mount Clemens
she lives at Al Lincoln avenue.

ISSUES affecting voters at
the November elections were
discussed and explained at a
meeting of the League of Women
Voters yesterday afternoon, at
the home of Mrs. Byron Stuck.
The amendment of Home Rule
for Wayne County will appear
on the November ballot. Report
ing on this amendment, Mrs.
Clare Wigell said that the bat
tie was only half won, and its
greatest opponent is the lethargy
of the voters to vote on amend
ments. She cited several reasons
why this amendment should
pass to further good govern
ment.
THE present board of super
visors of Wayne county is an
unWieldy large board of l6l
members. and streamlining it
down to II members as propos-
ed, will eliminate much red
tape and concentrate RESPONSE
bility so the voters may put
their fingers on the men re-
sponsible for their county gov
eminent" said Mrs. Wigell.
She also stated that this
amendment, if passed, will in all
probability cut the costs of
Wayne county government and
although this amendment only
applies to Wayne county, it must
be voted on by the entire
state, according to the State
Constitution.
The congressional voting rec
ord of our Michigan congress
men was discussed by Mrs. G.
H. Malbin.
