The mere circumstance that a
particular holding may be improb-
able is not in itself sufficient justi-
flcation for declarer to reject any
plan that is based on such holding.
Where a player has two or more
choices, he should naturally resort
to the one that offers the greater
chance for success, but where there
really exists no sound choice, the
facts might as well be faced.
South failed to grasp this elemen-
tary principle of logic, to his great
sorrow.
The bidding followed normal lines
in today's hand. North had a close
raise to three clubs, but felt that he
had just little too much to give UP
and relegate the hand definitely to
. part-score effort. West made the
natural opening of his fourth best
heart and East's jack went to the
king. Declarer could count three
club tricks, three spades, two hearts
and a diamond and, therefore, fired
back the queen of clubs Immediately.
This was taken by East and the
heart suit cleared without further
ado. The jack of clubs was con-
tinued, East won and then came
the deluge.
North pointed out to partner that
the hand could be made by going
for the diamonds instead of the
clubs. South argued that this was
double dummy analysis. How could
I tell that the diamonds were 3-2
and that East had the king?" With
out any question, there was no way
he could tell. But that is an entirely
irrelevant consideration. What other
hope was there for the hand? Since
there were nine hearts out, some
one had to have at least five and
they were bound to be established
before the clubs. Declarer contend
ed that in order to take the diamond
hnesse he would have to cash the
three top spades and that might set
up two tricks for the opposition,
which, together with the two club
tricks and a diamond, would defeat
the contract.
The answer Is that spades need
not be cashed at once. The proper
play at trick two is low diamond,
since one trick must surely be aost
in that suit. West will win the trick
and clear the hearts. Now dummy's
spades are cashed and the diamond
fnesse taken with prayer. When
this succeeds nine tricks are avail
able without touching clubs. To be
sure this was not good chance, but,
since it was the only one, the choice
should have been easy enough,
Tomorrow's Problem.

nets, hide along the cliffs where
the vast fiocks of choochkies ny
low. The girds are heavy bodied
and small winged, so they fly close
to the ground. The nets shoot up
and the birds are gathered midair.
Another unsportsmanlike way Of
catching the birds is to tie dead
one to a stick. When the incoming
birds arrive, the dead one is fiuttered
vigorously; the natural curiosity of
the flying birds is aroused and it
comes so close it can be killed with
q club.
Choochkies arrive carry on the

SPEAKER AT
ROTARY MEET
Miss Elizabeth Arndt Tells of
Visit to Mexico Last
Summer
BULL FIGHT - FIESTAS

The Smyrna Rotary Club had as
their guest on Thursday night Miss
Elizabeth Arndt, of the language
department of the John Bassett
Moore High School, who gave a
talk on her visit to Mexico last
summer. A knowledge of the Span
ish language was essential for
travel, she said, as she told that
tourist trade is the foremost busi-
ness, and highways are first class.
International trade, especially with
the United States, she found to be
of the foremost interests of the
Mexicans. Mexico, although becom-
ing modern, still needs improve
ment, especially as to plumbing
and sanitation. She explained the
population of sixteen million Mexi-
cans, Indians, and half-breeds, and
contrasted the climate with other
sections of our country. The out
standing event of her visit there
was a Mexican bull-fight, and fies-
tas in various towns added color
to the trip, she said. Mayor Albert
A. Newcomb, Sr. made the re-
sponse and thanked Miss Arndt on
behalf of the club for her educa-
tional address. Reynolds Pratt pre-
sided. The following nominating
committee was appointed: E.. P.
