Today's hand brings out a play that even the experts will miss, and I suggest that you study it care fully if you want to improve your game. It came up in the team-of- four contest recently held at Syra- cuse. Forty-three commercial and industrial firms in Syracuse entered teams in the contest. A snowstorm caused the withdrawal of few, but 40 teams actually participated, mak- ing it one of the largest events of this kind ever held.

 ANNUAL PLAY 10
 CAPACITY CROWD

The annual high school play, "The Great Ben Allah" was pre- sented last night to a packed house in the grade school auditorium,
 which enthusiastically applauded the young Thespians who. com petently portrayed the characters in the three-act farce.
 Ben Allen and Ruth Aldrich played by Chuck de Ganahl and Thelma McCorkle, are thwarted in their romance by Ruth's mother, Nathylie Bailey, who is engrossed in spiritualism and is annoyed with Ben for his lack of interest. Ben and his friend Ed Westen, played by Linn Forrest, contrive plot to get into Mrs. Aldrichs good graces by posing as Hindu fakirs and pro- ceed to hold a seance. Ed is sta- tioned outside to play the voice from the spirit world but drowsi- ness overtakes him and the voice of Hugo Aldrich turns out to be a snore.
 ]. Mrs. Aldrich faints, and while she is unconscious, another scheme is matched by Professor Rawlings .(Jim Klein), who is an old flame of Mrs. Aldrich's sister Roberta Houston, Mary Hoffman,. Giving every sign of grief, the plotters pre- tend the deluded lady has passed on as result of the seance. She IS convinced in the end that it was all bad dream, and all ends happil.g for all concerned. Mrs. AldIich takes to a new hobby, haunting antique shops, aided and abetted by her friend, Mrs. Schyler van Schuler.
 The butler Hawkins and the maid Dorothy were well acted by Bop Vernon and Elsie Conrad. Helen Johnson, friend of Ruth, was de- pcted by Betty Lou Hared

 First Prize Contest Letter WHY WE SHOULD INVEST IN
 WAR BONDS AND STAMPS" Dear Friend:
 I think we should buy more bonds because last years bonds bought ine guns, planes, food and all other things We used to invade North Af- 1ica, Guadalcanal, Italy and other places.
 This year we should buy more tonds for the invasion sf Germany. If we buy more bonds the invasion will go quicker Buy lots because we don't want to send a soldier on an invasion with just so much am munition, we want to give him all he needs. When you buy bonds you help your home to be a better one
 After the war when your boy comes back you want a better home for him Remember who started this war? Who's going to finish it? We are, with more bonds, so buy lots.
