There are many combinations
of cards where the .declarer
simply cannot win a trick in a
certain suit if he has to lead it
himself. However, if a defender
leads that suit, declarer has the
advantage of playing last to the
trick and untold numbers of con-
tracts are made because declarer
was unnecessarily given this OPP
portunity.
Today's hand is an excellent
example Of the serious penalties
suffered by the defenders when
they break new suit every time
they get the lead.
Mrs. Keen and Miss Brssh got
too ambitious and landed in an
unmakeable four spade contract.
Assuming that Mrs. Keen has to
break all the plain suits herself.
she has two losers in diamonds,
three in clubs, plus a possible
loser in hearts depending on her
ability to guess the location of
the queen of that suit.
Mr.. Abel's best opening lead
was a trump but he chose the
trey of diamonds. Mrs. Keen
played low from the board and
Mr.. Muzzy won with the ace. This
eliminated one of Mrs. Keen's
losers in the suit.
At this point Mr.. Muzzy had
two safe leadS-a trump or an
other diamond. But he choose to
break a new suit. He led the five
of clubs. Mrs. Keen ducked and
Mr.. Abel won with the king. This
play cut Mrs. Keen's club losers
from three to two.
She now had only three losers
outside of hearts. And Mr.. Abel
took the guess out of that Situa-
ton by breaking still another
new suit. He returned the nine of
hearts and the queen fell to the
king. Mrs. Keen's hopeless" con-
tract was now a laydown.

The snapper has a tough shell,
but the head and tail are too
large to be drawn out Of sight.
For that reason, the biting
power is of special importance.
This animal defends itself by
making other animals fearful OF
its bite.
Swapping turtles are found in

When a waterfowl goes SWIM
ming. its legs may be seized by a
snapper, and 1t may be pulled
under the water. Snappers do
their eating below the surface.
A well-grown snapper is likely
to weigh at least Is or 20 pounds.
A very large one may tip the
scales at 40 pounds or more.
Going back to the idea Of car
rying a snapper by its tail, let
me add something else. This
turtle should be held at arms
length. to keep 1t from biting
any part of the body. Perhaps
the best idea is never to pick up
a live snapper. A good-sized one
can bite off a finger.

40 Million Want

An advocate of a bill to ban

million Americans would like to
have prohibition again.

the Interstate Commerce Com
mittee. was DR.. Sam Morris,
conductor of THE Voice of Tenn

president of the Preferred Risk
Mutual Insurance Co., which
writes auto insurance exclusively
for drinkers.
DR.. Morris has charged that
radio and televiSion companies
have refused to sell him time for

advertising. He said an infor-
nation blackout on his views
touches not only radio and tele-
vision. but also some newspapers.
Cincinnatian TeStifies.
Joseph E. Brady, Cincinnati,
Ohio, co-ordinator of State coun-
ellis of the International Union
of United Brewery. Flower

against the bill. He declared
legislation like this is not only
discriminatory but is "a backdoor
approach for national prohibi-
ton"
He said similar legislation has
been rejected in the immediate
past by the Senate committee.
If enacted, this legislation would
affect the livelihood of millions
employed in the legal licensed
beverage industry, as well as it's
allied industries. He also con-
tended such proposals should be
decided in the States by direct
vote.
Arizona, Arkansas and Oregon
