it, that's just what it has been!"
Nudge gave a faint SILVER and
said:
"Well, at any rate, it's over
now"
'It's not exactly over-the in
quest was only adjourned. A n d
that nice Inspector Grange has
got men all over the place simply
crashing through the chestnut
woods and startling all the pleas
ants, and springing up like jacks
in-the-box in the most unlikely

"What are they looking for7"
asked Edward. 1.-THE revolver that
Christow vas shot WITH"
Il imagine that must be 1t.
They even come to the house with
a search warrant - the Inspector
was most apologize about it,
quite shy-but, of course, 1 told
him we should be delighted. 1t
was really most interesting. They
looked absolutely everywhere. I
followed them around, you know,
and l suggested n or two places
which even they hadn't thought of.
But they didn't find anything. It
was most disappointing. Poor In
spector Grange, he is growing
quite thin and he pulls and pulls
at that mustache of his. His wife
ought to give him specially nour-
ishing meals with ali this worry
he is having-but 1 have a vague
idea that she must be n of those
women who care more about hav-
ing the linoleum really well pol
ished than in cooking a tasty lit
tie meal. Which reminds me, /
must go and see Mrs. Midway.
Funny how servants cannot bear
the police. Her cheese souffle last
night was quite UNBEATABLE.
Souffles and pastry always show
if n is off balance. If it weren't
for Gudgeon keeping them all to-
gether, I really believe half the
servants would leave. Why don't
you two 60 and have a nice walk
and help the police look for the
revolver?"

For many years I have been
corresponding with Frank E.
Lyons of Kingston, Jamaica, but
it was only recently that I had
the pleasure of meeting him in
person. There is a good deal Of
bridge played in Jamaica.
Last year a Jamaica team par
ticipated in the national cham
pionsAip tournament at Holly
wood, Fla, and that team is now
known as the Hollywood Four. MI.
Lyons expressed the hope that a
U. S. team will participate in one
Of the Jamaica tournaments be-
fore long.
In discussing today's hand, Ly-
ons remarked that sometimes we
can make the opponents help us
to play a hand well. He won the
opening club lead in dummy and
ruffed the club in his w hand.
Then he took one round of hearts
and led the nine Of spades. East
won this with the king and made
a nice return when he came back
with the nine of diamonds. Lyons
put on the queen, forcing Vests
ace.
West found himself in a bad
spot at this point. He could lead
a diamond-right into declarer's
king-ten-or lead a club, which
would give declarer a stuff and a
ruff.
He chose the only other course
and cashed the c Of spades, but
when he continued with the queen,
Lyons ruffed, went over to dunn
my with a trump, ruffed another
spade, re-entered dummy with the
king of hearts, and discarded his
ten of diamonds or dummy's fifth
spade.

'0Dwyer Urges Polio,
To Prohibit Transit
Strikes in New York
BY the Asseeiafed Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 27.-Mayol
William ODwyer has recommended
to the Board of Transportation q
labor policy which would bar rec.
ognition Of exclusive bargaining
agents and prohibit strikes in the
city's rapid transit system.
The mayors policy was expressed
in an exchange of letters with VIII
liam H. Davis, transportation COM
missioner, who has been working on
a formula since last September.
Mayor O'Dwyer's letter, which de-
clared that strikes against the
Board Of Transportation and the city
cannot be tolerated" came within
"a hours after he had announced
a mo closed shop" policy for the
10000 city employees under his con-
troll.
The Board of Transportation and
the Board of Education, as auto
nomous agencies not directly re-
sponsible to the mayor, were not
covered by his announcement Tues
day.
The Mayor informed the Board
of Transportation that no single
agency could be recognized as sole
collective bargaining agent for all
transit employees He recommended
a system of plural negotiation in
which the rights of all $4,000 work
ers would receive equal treatment
Mayor ODwyer laid down the
principle that any transit worker
could join any union of his choice
or could refrain from joining any
union without jeopardizing his
rights.
His plan also provided for the
handling of grievances through a
representative Of a labor relations
bureau in each unit of the transit
system, a voluntary check-off sys-
team for unions dues COLLECTION and
continuation of the Mayors policy
of appointing an impartial board
to file an advisory lopinion in the
case of a labor dispute.
Austin Hogan, president of Local
100, CTO Transport Workers Un-
ion. which has threatened transit
strike three times, said the Mayor s
action was a wholesome step in
the direction Of stablizing labor re-
lations and improving public serv-
ice,"
