cautious man. The nature of his
job has made him more pro-

Hagerty, playing it safe.
AMBITION: While a student

warned him of the difficulties,
but his warnings fell on deaf
ears.
You may starve," said the
professor.
II don't care" replied Lewis.
"In that case" said the other,

All Pass
No sooner had Mrs. Keen ut
tered the words three no
trump" than a resounding dou-
BILE was heard from Mr.. Cham
pion. The penalty double in this
situation has special meaning.
Where neither defender has
entered the bidding and the dou-
BILE is made by the opening lead
er's partner. it asks for a lead Of
the first suit bid by dummy-in
this case spades.
AS you see, a spade lead here
would have enabled Mr.. Cham
pion to win four spades and the
ace of diamonds Immediately.
Since Mr.. Muzzy didn't have a
spade, he led the queen Of
hearts.
Mr.. Champion hit the ceiling.
He was so intent on criticizing
Muzzy that he inadvertently
played the trey Of diamonds on
the first trick.
Mr.. Dale won with the king Of
hearts and led the king of dia-
monds. Still muttering about his
dumb partners, Mr.. Champion
took the ace of diamonds and
cashed the king and queen of
spades.
He didn't take the ace Of
spades as he correctly figured
that the jack in dummy might
give Mr.. Dale his ninth trick.
On the two spade leads Mr..
Muzzy discarded two diamonds.
Now Mr.. Champion led the
five of clubs. Mr.. Dale won with
the ace and cashed another high
club. Here Mr.. Champion showed
out, discarding the deuce Of
hearts. He was promptly in
formed by Mr.. Dale that he re-
voked at the first trick.
Mr.. Judge. the self-appointed
arbiter of the game. quoted Ar
ticle rs of the laws and gave Mr..
Champion the bad news that
two tricks, won after the revoke,
would be transferred to the nom
offending side.
The hand was played out and
Mr.. Dale could never win more
than four clubs, two hearts and
two diamonds. However. the
two-trick penalty for the revoke
gave him his contract.
Mr.. Muzzy really poured it on.
"Sorry, I didn't open a spade
partner" he said. II should have
got one out of the other deck.

"And, incidentally, why don't
you take time out from giving
lessons to give yourself a lesson
on following suit. The hearts are

the diamonds are the ones with

Dimes Aided Polio
Victims And Trials
Of Vaccine

$29, 100000 raised in the 1854
March of Dimes were spent to
mend the lives of nearly $4,000
polio patients. This tremendous
sum was spent for patients
throughout the nation regardless
of age, race, or creed.
Since 1888, $4,000 victims of
polio attacks have received aid
provided by 5000, 100000 in March
of Dimes funds.
In addition to the heavy patient
care burden in 1854, the National
Foundation expended $4,000, 900
for the polio prevention program.
The promise of the polio vaccine
now being evaluated increases the
need of more funds in 1866.
Patient care for approximately
$4,000 old and new polio patients
in 1866, polio prevention, scien-
tific research and other National
Foundation services will require
1854, 100000 for the 1866 March of
Dimes money needs.
