Tough Operation
PRoBABLY the most dramatic

surgery is for what in humans is
called, with considerable awe, an
upside-down stomach. 1t occurs
occasionally in dogs when the

along with liver and spleen, has
been catapulted into the chest.
This operation is a tedious,
painstaking task, first performed
at Angel Memorial l6 years ago
by DR.. Rudolph H. Schneider.
''It requires the unremitting
attention of a surgeon and
three assistants for three
hours" DIR. Blakely told me.

maintained constantly. Transfu-

words were woodland Indians who
used to draw on birchbark.
The Blackfeet also made picture
words. Paints Of several colors
were employed,
Where did the Blackfeet get the
colored paints? Chiefly from the
ground. They looked around until
they found soil which was red,
white, yellow or some other color.
Then they would crush the soil in
stone mortar, and turn it into a
powder. Each color was carried
about in a small bag made of skin.
When the time came to use a
certain paint, the powder was mixed
with hot water or with a glue of
one kind or another. Sometimes
a beavers tail was boiled to provide
a glue of sort.
1t was common for stones to be
used to apply the paint. The stones
were rounded or pointed at one
end to provide heavy lines or thin
lines. In some cases, buffalo hair
was employed to put on the paint.
The paints were used for many
purposes besides making picture

The bidding:
South West North East
1spade diamonds Pass Pass
Sspades 4diamonds 4spades Pass

Opening lead. king of diamonds
Today we are asked to settle
dispute.
The bidding is given as it &C
tually occurred, and we desire to
make it clear that it is without
the sponsorship of this department
South's jump rebid, a commitment
to take nine tricks with passing
partner, Is q practice which we
would not indorse and which
should be indulged in only by
those amply provided with worldly
goods.
Against the final contract, West
led the king of diamonds and fol-
lowed with the ace. East discarded
the deuce OF clubs. With intent to
force the declarer, West continued
with the high diamond. Declarer
ruffed, drew down the trumps and
discarded two hearts on dummy's
good clubs, thus fulfilling what ap-
peared to be an impossible con-
tract.
West contended that East should
have signaled with the nine of
hearts instead of discarding the
two of clubs, in which event he
would have laid down the ace of
hearts and followed through. East
maintained that he. had no means
of knowing that his partner held
the ace of hearts, since he had not
doubled the opening bid, and had
already shown up with the ace and
king of diamonds; that the discard
of the deuce Of clubs was warn
ing to partner that he held nothing
in that suit and that, therefore,
the only tricks available to the de-
tense were in hearts.
My own finding Is that of con-
tributory negligence. West had the
last clear chance, but East had an
opportunity to distinguish himself
by defeating the contract two
tricks.
There was no fault to be found
with Vests overcal to two dia-
monds. The fact that he is vul-
nerable, in itself. suggests that he
has a sound hand and, unless part
1lCA Sd44 CnhC OOIi1C NOAuA1td1S az
tion, it is doubtful that a game
could be scored. When the jack
OF diamonds fell on the first trick
and West continued with the ace,
East should know to a certainty
that South held the queen, for if
West held the three top honorS,
the proper lead to the second trick
would be the queen. East should
also have realized that South's
queen would fall on the current
trick. Since the defense was lin
tied to two diamonds tricks, the
setting tricks would have to be
sought in the heart suit Unless
partner has the ace, hope has
flown. East should, therefore,
trump his partners ace and lead
the jack of hearts (not the four).
This line of play permits dummy's
ten to be encircled and three tricks
are taken.
Although East failed to rise to the
occasion, West should still have
defeated the contract by cash
ing in hurry. The discard of
the two of clubs should make it
clear that partner lacks the king
Of that suit and unless he holds
the king of hearts the cause is
lost

The curriculum includes
English, mathematics, history,
Spanish, science and social
studies, plus a number of
minor subjects. There are
four claSsroomS on the third

Since the pages have to be

and the other a special one
