A close study OF the matter, over
an extended period Of time, has LED
me to the conclusion that the open
ing trump lead is not employed
with sufficient frequency by either
the average player or the expert. It
Is used quite regularly to avoid the
embarrassment attending the lead
from certain tenace positions in side
suits, but it is not given sufficient
scope as a purely offensive weapon.
Today's hand from recent tourna-
ment illustrates the point.
This hand was played at IL
tables and the bidding in most
cases followed the lines indicated
in the diagram above. I think 1t Is
normal in all respects. The almost
universal lead, an instructive selec-
ton, was the king Of diamonds. In
one or two cases the ace OF SPACES
was laid down. This Is distinctly
unsound. The purpose, of course,
was to obtain a ruff, but how, pray
Is partner expected to obtain the
lead on this hand to provide the
desired ruff? ~
Against the normal diamond
opening declarer was able to fulfill
his contract by rufing two dla-
monds, despite the trump shift at
trick two. He then conceded two
spade tricks by leading low toward
dummy. In only one case did the
South player find the winning de.
fense and that was the opening OF
q trump. Against this lead de-
clarer was able to ruff only one
diamond and was obliged to give up
two tricks in that suit, together WIN
the two spade tricks.
South's opening was not merely
lucky stab. And 1t will be noteo
that he did not lead trumps be-
cause he was embarrassed. The
diamond suit provided very com
Portable" lead. His choice OF LEADS
was well thought out. II the op-
ponents were willing to contract for
a 10-trick game against his hand
thev were doing so not on the basis
of high cards held, nor on tne
solidity of dunlmy's club suit, out
to a certain extent on Distribution.
Tn other words, there was almost
certain to be short suit IN dummy
as the basis OF the raise, and the
more the trump leads, the fewer
the ruffs.
When the defensive side has the
nredominance of higher cards trump
leads may be employed to good ao-
vantage.

Under certain rivers there are
tunnels which are used by those
who want to go from one side to
the other. Subway trains in such
tunnels take millions of New York
ers under the Hudson River, and
millions of Londoners ride under the
Thames.
When a person goes through such
tunnel, he may feel something
queer about his ears. They may
seem to be stopped up," and the
feeling Is likely to be almost pain
full. The trouble comes from the
high air pressure inside the tunnel.
The middle ear of human being
is filled with air. That air should
have the same pressure as the air
outside. Otherwise something will
20 wrong. A person whose ears
bothered in such a. case should
swallow several times. This Is likely
to set things right by adding to the
air pressure inside the middle ear.
There is a direct connection be-
tween the back of the mouth and
the middle ear. On each side IN a
small tube which carries air from
the mouth (and from the base OF
the nose) to the middle ear. These
are known as the Eustachian (pro-
nounced "you-STAY-ke-unD tubes.
About two third of all persons
who go to ear specialists have
trouble with the middle ear. Often
this trouble is due to something
going wrong with the Eustachian
tubes. It is possible for trouble to
come from violent blowing of the
nose. Better be gentle about it
when you blow your nose!
AS I said yesterday, the inner ear
contains q liquid. An important
part of the inner ear Is the cochlea.

no signs of widespread sickness.
Danes Still Free of Epidemic.
Danish medical authorities re.
ported influenza apparently hao
not reached there, and nothing
approaching epidemic proportions
was reported from the American
zone of Germany.
The French Ministry of Public
Health so far has no figures to re.
