The bidding:
North East South West
/ Spade Pass 3Diamonds Pass
Diamonds Pass 4-No-Tr'ps Pass
Diamonds Pass Pass Pass
Opening lead: Ace of spades.
The selection of the best opening
lead involves something more than
Ia mere study of the Is cards b'..d
by the leader. His holding must be
considered in the light of the bid
ding sequence which led to the final
contract. And occasionally even q
thought must be given to the prob
able mental processes of the adver.
sary who directed the final contract.
The bidding Is reported as it took
place, without Endorsement and for
what it may be worth. The South
player was employing the Black
wood convention and expected to
obtain an answer advising as to the
number of aces North held. North,
however. took matters into his own
hands. He felt confident there was
a slam in the hand when South was
able to make jump shift with an
apparent broken trump suit. He
feared that if he made the dutiful
response of five diamonds showing
only one ace, his partner might lose
heart and pass, so he leaped to the
slam. This under the convention
denotes a hand on which the proper
response would have been in the
agreed trump suit. In this case,
diamonds, and therefore indicating
one ace. To justify such action how
ever, North should hold void suit.
West had the opportunity to make
q very safe lead with the queen Of
hearts. But he was not concerned
so much with safety as with agrees
sive tactics to beat the hand. He
himself held a surprisingly great
amount of honor strength IN view
of the vigorous nature of the ad-
verse bidding, and he set about
visualizing the type of hand which
would have induced the enemy to
venture SO far.
1t was evident that North was
very strong in diamonds, which
would mean that South's trump suit
was not very powerful one. What
then persuaded South to make
jump shift instead of a mere tenn
porary takeout of two diamonds?
West concluded that South must
have been influenced to certain
extent by mild spade fit, because
with nonsolid trump suit and
22isfit in partners suit 1t is not
probable that he would have given
an immediate slam signal.
Now, if North happened to have
a f1ve-card spade suit, and South
had three, East would have sim
gleton. On this line of reasoning
he elected to lead the ace and an
other spade which defeated the
contract. 1t all sounds very thin,
but it seems to me rather interest
ing. Furthermore. who are we to
argue with success?

and you aren't either You have assumed the
upright position without evolving a single
neso muscle to accommodate it.
This is real shortooming because of the
way your spine is constructed. 1t is made up
of 33 vertebrae, divided into five groups to
allow for bending and twisting at different
levels. Starting at the bottom, you have four
tiny vertebrae which have grown together and
are useless because you no longer wag tail.
Above these are five more, called sacral
vertebrae. They are also fused, but they are
very important because they form a sort of
keystone supporting the rest of the spine.
Next, the five big lumbar vertebrae which,
like all the Others right up to your skull, are
separate and movable
Now, the place where the sacral vertebrae
meet the lumbar vertebrae is called the
lumbosacral joint, and it is worth remember
ing because it is the place where you're most

CooNER or later. unless you are proceeding
- through life on all fours. you will probably
know the special torment of the backache.
1t is nearly as common as the common cold,
and it can make you lot unhappier. A promi-
nent bone specialist says he knows of at least
56 causes of backache - which means, of
course, that it is hard to diagnose and treat.
But you needn't despair. Doctors can also
assure you that most backaches are not
caused by serious injuries or organic diseases,
that most of them are concentrated in the
Evening star., 1948-01-25

lower spine and that, for this reason, many of
them can be relieved or avoided altogether
You will begin to understand this condition
if you digest two facts about your back.
Right now, if you are sitting or standing
there are 400 muscles in play to keep you
from oollapsing. But these 400 muscles are
not enough. Your misfortune, backwise,
is that you are a member of the human
species. Two million years ago, your an
cestors began reaching for the moon and stood
up to do it. They weren't built for the job,

likely to hurt Why? Because that keystone
group is tilted backwards and everything
resting on top of it has a tendency to slide off.
Obviously, you're going to have trouble
here if you put heavy strain on this Joint
or the muscles supporting it.
Consider your own position at this moment.
The chances are you are seated with your
shoulders slumped forward, your stomach
muscles loose and your spine bent in long
bow from top to bottom That lumbosacral
Joint is supporting shaft that is bent out
wards; and the strain is the same kind you'd
get in your wrist if you held long pole up-
right and then let it lean away from YOU.
Before long the strain creates pain. The same
thing happens if you walk with sloppy
posture.
Keep Il Straight
Bur posture is only part of the problem.
Plenty of people carry themselves like operetta
soldiers and still have aching backs This is
because there are so many other ways to put
strain on the critical places. Every day you
have to bend, twist and jerk your spine in
hundred routine motions. Even 50, there are
ways to avoid serious strain. If you're lifting
a5O-pound weight off the floor you don't have
to keep your legs straight, and hoist with your
back. The trick is to bend your knees, keeping
your back fairly straight, and then hoist by
Strengthening the knees - women are smarter
than men about this.
Furniture moving is another backbreaker
Will you admit that you've tried a dozen
times to put rugs under chairs and sofas that
are already in placer It's impossible to do
this without straining your back, and
you should never try it without heIp,
Watch the professional moving men. They're
past masters at sparing their backs.
Most people shovel snow as if they wanted
a backache. You've seen it (or done it) - the
forward lunge, the lift and the sideways pitch,
all in one motion. Watch ditch-digger. He
lasts longer than you do because he digs,
backs up. straightens moves leg and then.
when his back has measured the load, lets flv.
Even in less violent motions we're inclined
to throw our backs into action too quickly.
We yank at window handles, spring out of
bed, grab at loaded buckets. And one of our
commonest mistakes is to sneeze or cough in
hunched position. Try that with your head
back and your chest out It's far less of a strain
Maybe You're 0verweiqht
MAYBE you're careful about all these things
and still have backaches. Are you also careful
about your weight? Many doctors think
excess weight is the foremost cause of back
troubles. Here's why. If you're getting heavy
around the middle, the muscles running from
your back and across your abdomen have to
stretch to accommodate the extra girth. You
don't usually 60 out of your way to strengthen
them, so as they stretch, and weaken. Your.
fat pushes on them in front and pulls on them

Modern life puts strain your spine that

troubles. Here's why. If you're getting heavy
around the middle, the muscles running from
your back and across your abdomen have to
stretch to accommodate the extra girth. You
don't usually 60 out of your way to strengthen
them, so as they stretch, and weaken. Your
fat pushes on them in front and pulls on them
in back. The lumbosacral joint, which
needs all the support it can get, begins to
give way, and you have "a more or less
constant pain that no amount Of SUPER
fetal treatment can relieve for long.
While you're at it. take look at your bed.
Those supersoft springs and mattresses are
fine for some people. but risky for Others.
Reason: bed that's too soft or one that says
in the middle may prevent your spine from
fiattening out during Sleep That's why you
find bed departments selling boards these
days. The boards are designed to go under
your mattress and take some of the comfort
out. A good hair mattress may accomplish
the same thing.
Shoes are important too There's no doubt

unanimous nomination to Thomas
