KNOW THE SOUNDEST WAY
THERE ARE lots OF different
ways to play some combinations
OF the cards. but only some one
way which has the greatest math-
ematical chance OF success. Fine
players are usually those who
have done more than merely study
combinations in actual play. and
remember what developed on past
occasions. They are usually en-
thusiasts who have set up certain
combinations and have studied
them away from the table. so that
they have become able to recog-
nizez them when they arise. They
want to know the soundest way

the 10, which the Q won. There
after it was impossible to get two
tricks in the suit. Whatever North
led. East could cover It. so that
South would score no clubs except
the A. Added to that were only
seven top tricks in other suits.
A few Of the declarers realized
that. with seven other tricks in
sight and two necessary in clubs,
the best chance to get the two was
to prevent a singleton K or Q
FROM winning. They played the A
first to protect against that
chance. When the Q dropped. an
other club trick beanie certain. BY
this method, South was sure OF
two club tricks, no matter how the
defenders clubs were located.

She's 71-yearold widow who lived
alone in the rear of her grocery store

one night when she was awakened by
a sharp pain in one arm. She heard
something Slither across the floor.
Examination showed two sharp little
pnnctures above her elbow.
From then on she was aroused
frequently by nips on the arms and
legs. One night Cecil SlaShed a I'm

awoke to find him trying to suck the
blood from her neck.

Mrs. Rhone had noticed that Gee

an odorless and colorless poison. The
weasel turned up his nose. Coffee
grounds were one of his favorite
dclicacieS, so she poisoned q lot Of
them and left them around. Cecil
Immediately swore off coffee.
A customer informed her that
weazels were very fond of whisky.
She bought a bottle and left a jig
gerful on the kitchen table. But she
was smart She didn't put any poison
in it. Better let him get the habit
first, she decided That night she
was awakened by a commotion in the
kitchen. She hurried out and turned
on the light.
Cecil was on the floor, staggcr.
