Mr.. Champion was grousing

tract on the following play.
Mr.. Champion elected to open
the ten of hearts and Mr.. Abel
won with the queen. Mr.. MlzZy
played the deuce A small dia-
mond was led toward the board

was returned to the king and Mr..
Champion won with the ace.
He made his best return, the
four of spades. The jack went

decided to false-card by winnings

of spades on his left. However.
Mr.. Champion placed that card
in Mr.. Abel's hand and consid-
cred further spade leads from his

At trick five Mr.. Muzzy led a
low heart and the jack in the
closed hand won. Mr.. Abel now
led the deuce of clubs. Here Mr..
Champion could have beaten the
hand by going in with the ace
and returning a spade. setting
up the queen. while Mr.. Muzzy
still had a club stopper. But
being completely in the dark, he
played low. the queen went on
from dummy and Mr.. Muzzy won

Mr.. Abel won the heart return

Champion won, but now Mr.. Abel
had nine tricks.
On the defense. it occasionally
pays to make deceptive play.
AS general rule, however. it is
more important to help your
partner than to deceive the de-
clarer. Remember, declarer can
see his partners hand, but your
partner cannot see yours.

Criticizing Benson's political Sta

division "also attempted to claim that
the cut in dairy supports has reduced
dairy production. Actually, the thin
basis for the claim that dairy produc-
ton was reduced is that June, 1854,
output was only 2 per cent higher
than June, 1858, while output in the
first three months of 1854, when sup
ports were still at 80 per cent of
parity, was per cent higher than in

NFU denied that the slowing up in
this years increase in butter produc-

Ito Travelling Teens
Going on q Trip? Here's How!

Hillman, to help young people
organize their trip and answer
questions tirnid teenerS normally
hesitate to ask.
Here are some of Miss Hill
mans helpful hints for travellers:
Hotel reservations should be
made at least two weeks before
leaving home. Special rates and
arrangements are made for stu
dents by many hotels, so inquire.
If you want quick hotel con-
firmation of your reservation,
expect to pay for the collect
| wire.
| In choosing a hotel. investi-
gate the section of town it is
located in. It costs just a little
more for a better neighborhood
most times.
If arriving with a group give
details. Tell how many and give
each persons name. Tell the
hotel your arrival and departure
time. After 6 o'clock the hotel
doesn't need to hold a reserva-
ton but will If you give an ex-
act time. If plane or train is
delayed wire the hotel at once
so your reservation will be saved.
Check-out time is 3 pm. but the
hotel will give you more time if
needed. Just ask.
About tipping-bellboyS expect
Is cents a suitcase, so cents for
three. He must take you up to
your room to make sure every
thing is in order, so don't say
II don't need bellboy." If you
plan to stay at a hotel, figure
those tips into the rate auto
matically. In a restaurant Is per
cent is considered standard. If a
maid does special services, she'll
expect a tip.
Learn how to read a menu.
A complete dinner always states
complete dinner" Coffee shops
are your best bet If you want
good food at reasonable prices.
| Main dining rooms in hotels are
likely to offer only a la carte
service. If you wish to go into
q main dining room where there
is entertainment without a date.
| inquire of assistant manager or
college representative If 1t is
permissible.
Room service is an expensive
luxury. You'll pay plenty for it
and the waiter will expect a fat
tip.
It is sheer foolishness to speak
to strangers. And don't be i'm
pressed by f1attery. Don't visit
hotel rooms Of new acquaint-
ances.
If boys you know come to pick
you up for a date, don't invite
them to your room. Let them
call on the house phone, then
meet them in the lobby. After
your date say good night in the
lobby. not at your room.
College girls should remember
hotel rooms are not dormitories.
