LETTUCE
(Lnctucd SntiUd)

For two thousand years the lettuce
has been under cultivation. There
are many varieties. Back as far as
1889 there we're 1l9 offered by
American dealers in vegetable seeds.
But, In reality, there seems to be
but two types, the loose head and
the hard head. There are also
spring lettuces and summer lettuces.
Each year the American public
demands more and more lettuce for
salads. No matter what is termed
the true salad, 1t will be placed on
a layer Of crisp lettuce leaves. Since
we find vitamin A in the green
leaves of lettuce. we have been Civ
ing more favorable attention to the
outer and greener leaves than to
the more tender and bleached ones.

The bidding was q bit on the op-
timistic side. but the contract was
not too illogical Against any but
very fine defense South would have
made the slam.
West opened the ace of diamonds,
hoping to cash that and get the
spade king later. South ruffed and
figured out what Vests intention
had been. He therefore cashed the
spade ace and continued with the
spade queen. West played low and
dummy discarded the nine Of dia-
monds. When East played the 10
Of spades South decided to abandon
the suit.
Declarer continued by leading q
small heart. West played low and
dummy's 10 was finessed to East's
king. At this point the normal"
play for East would have been the
king OF diamonds. That would have
allowed South to ruff, draw two
trumps, enter dummy with another
heart finesse. draw the last trump
with dummy's queen and run all
Of the hearts for the rest of the
tricks.
But East had stopped to think.
Seeing the inevitable consequence
of diamond return, he led back
trump. And now South's case
was hopeless.
He made a good try by taking the
trump ace and king, finessing the
jack of hearts and ruffing the dia-
mond queen with his last trump.
But then there was no way to get
back to dummy to draw East's last
trump.
