After he had been out of school
q few months, he decided to re-
turn to college. But he was de-
termined that 1t would be on his
own terms. He wrote to number
of universities, asking permission
to enroll as a freshman. with the
understanding that he would be
advanced as rapidly as he could
pass examinations.
The University of Iowa replied
favorably and he enrolled. Ste
fansson became a sophomore by
Christmas, a junior before Easter
and a senior shortly after that.
BY the end of the year, he re-
ceived his degree, one week be-

In today's hand he saw the
great Champion Jump to three
spades, holding the singleton
deuce in his partners diamond
suit. He wanted this seeming
inconsistency explained.
The answer was simple one.
Mr.. Masters explained that the
bidding sequence was different
on the hand Mr.. New had
played Mr.. New had opened
the bidding with q heart and
his partner had responded with
q one spade bid. This one-over-
one response could have been
made on as little as a king and
q queen.
Mrs. Keen's response today
had been made at the two level
and a response to the two level
promises certain definite values
about an average hand in high
card strength. With this knowl-
edge that his partner had a
fairly good hand, Mr.. Champion
was easily justified in jumping
to three spades.
Against the final cvontract OF
six spades Mr.. Abel led the queen
of hearts. To conserve dummy'S
entries, Mr.. Champion won in
his own hand with the king. He
saw that he could discard his
losing heart on dummy's second
high diamond. However. he
would lose two club tricks If he
finessed the queen of that suit
and lost to the king.
To avoid that flnesse, he
played as follows: First he
cashed the ace of spades. Then
he led t. dummy's king of dia-
monds, returned a low diamond
and ruffed it high. A lead to
dummy's king of spades cleared
the trump suit.
Now he cashed the ace of dali
monds and got rid of a heart.
He ruffed dummy's last diamond,
led his last heart to dummy's
ace and returned the nine of
hearts.
When that card was not COW
cred on his right he simply dis
carded the deuce of clubs. Mr..
Abel was in with the ten of
hearts and any return he made
was fatal. A club would go into
the ace-queen and on heart re-
turn Mr.. Champion could ruff in
dummy while discarding the
queen of clubs from his hand.

 Dr. Nalin R. Mukherjee and Prof. Leo Mark Anthony from the school of mines geochemical research laboratory discovered the process.
 By adding a pinch of table salt to small quantity of soil or water, the sample is conditioned to produce various coloEs with organic dye dissolved in white gasoline. The volume of white gasoline used to bring the color to a green shade serves as an in dex of the heavy metals contain ed in the sample. By distinguish ing between high and low index values, it is possible to locate hidden mineral deposits.

We're Proud OF
Young Delegates
At Gary ConcIave
Youngsters Great
Credit To Society

Pittsburgh, Pa. - Just how
did the teen-age Delegates
behave during the July 1928
4 running in Gary, Indiana,
Of the Croatian Fraternal
Unions 4th National Junior
Convention?
Did they damage the hotel
rooms assigned to them? Did
they damage the chartered
busses used during the con-
clave? Did they carry on in
public in the hotel lobby; at
the Croatian Center? Were
they up to no good once they
retired to their hotel rooms?
Did they do anything to bring
discredit to themselves, their
parents or the Croatian Fra
ternal Union?
The answer to every one of
the above and all other SINH
lar questions is "NO!" Nor
can anyone prove to the con-
trary.
We should know, for we -
more than anyone else -
were with the youngsters
from start to finish and know
what they did at all times.
We can only say that we are
proud of every single one of
the teen-age Delegates in at
tendance at this Convention.
We were, still are, as proud
of them as if they were our
very own sons and daughters.
We cannot pay them a higher
compliment than that and
mean it more sincerely.
