Mexican Govt. To Buy 500, 900 Acres
Of Land Owned by American Citizens

MEXICO CITY (UPI)- A $780,
000-acre tract known as the Ca
nanea Lands in Sonora State will
soon be acquired by the Mexican
Government if present negotia-
tons with the American owners
are successful.
William Cornell Greene, son of
a Texas colonel who started the ac-
QUESTION of the lands at the turn

been negotiating with Agriculture
Secretary Gilberto Flores Munoz
for the sale of the lands and that
only a few details remain to be
ironed out.

for their acquisition, but it is only
now that they have advanced to
the point where only a few details
remains for the conclusion of the
deal.
Greene, who said he is asking
approximately 2 900, 900 for the
property. complained that 'the
lands are getting to be a headache
for u.s."
Many persons were constantly
asking for their colonization. We
defended them with success be-
cause legally they belong to us,
but We have reached the conclu.

that have been reported within Ell

mercury deposits have not even
been %evaluated, although, in
the Spanish tradition, gold and

This weeks articles present
the dramatic neD KdplGn-
SheinUold bidding system,
the most successful OF all
modern bidding methods. The
series tDdS prepared as a Spe-
ciGl service for The Washing
ton Star By Alfred Sheinwold,
whose regular articles on
bridge WiH begin to appear
In The Star merit tDeek.
The Weak NO-Trump
The cornerstone of the Kap-
lan-Sheinwold system is the
opening bid of MT on any
balanced hand of IL to IA
points. (This is 4 points weaker
than in standard American bid
ding systems.)
For example, bid INT with
AAK83 0A84 p63 40 1914.
Responder knows that this is
not a strong bid, and makes
allowance for it. He does not
think about game unless he
has, roughly, the values for an
opening bid Cor, instead, very
fine distribution).
The opening bid Of INT
makes it difficult and danger
Gus for the opponents to bid.
The openers partner will dou-
BILE for penalties If he has a
trump trick and about 9 or 10
points. This kind of double
often earns hundreds of points
on a part-score hand. 1t is
just as dangerous, in a different
way, for the opponents to pass.
The no-trumper and his part
ner may steal" a hand that
belongs to the opponents.
Responding to INT
Responder may jump to 3 MT
with any balanced hand of IL
points or more. He may raise
to INT with IL points or with
an anemic IL points.
If interested in the major
suits, responder may bid two
clubs (the Stayman conven-
tion). This asks the opener to
bid a major suit if he has one.
and to bid two diamonds If he
has no major suit.

the North-South cards, we made
our normal opening bid Of Mt.
East was afraid to overcall at
the level of two. and South
bounded right into four hearts,
ending the auction. South
didn't know how many tricks
he could take, but he was sure
the opponents could make at
least a part score in spades,
Hence he couldn't lose anything
if he went down one or two
tricks undoubled at four hearts;
and he might even be able to
make game at hearts If the
hands fitted well.
West opened the king of
spades and continued, South
rufing the second round. De-
clarer drew trumps and tried
the diamonds, losing dummy's
queen to the ace. y
Eventually declarer led a
club to flnesse dummy's jack,
caShed the king of diamonds
and ruffed diamond, and then
ran the rest of his trumps.
When South led his last trump
West was squeezed. If he dis
carded a diamond, dummy's
seven of diamonds would win
a trick; and if West discarded
a club South's clubs would all
be good.
South's impudent bid Of four
hearts paid of TO the tune of
400 points.
At the other table the other
team opened one diamond with
the North hand. East, one Of
our teammates, could afford to
overcall in spades at the level
of one.
South didn't have the values
for free bid in standard bid
ding methods, so he passed.
In the Kaplan-Sheinwold sys-
tenn, South could have bid
three hearts to show a long
heart suit with a poor hand.
This would have worked out
well, but no such bid is avail
able to standard bidders.
West promptly raised one
spade to four spades, and all
passed. East lost only two
clubs and one diamond, making
$40 points for the game.
Proper bidding methods scored
a game both ways Of the table!

Should an EpiIeptic Drive a Car?
By DR.. PETER J. STEINcRoHN

Dear DIR. SteincrOhn: How
do you feel about a person
with epilepsy driving a car?
Isn't 1t terribly dangerous for
all concerned? T. N.

deserves a special ruling. We
mustn't say: mo patient who
has epilepsy should be allowed
to drive a car" 1 go along with
DR.. Kiorboe and his associates
Of Denmark who plead for a
fair deal for the epileptic."
According to a recent report
in the Journal of the American
Medical Association, these doc
tors reported a follow-up study
OF 100 epileptics whose epilepsy
had begun after the age of IT.
About IS per cent were free
from seizures for at least four
years. 1t was concluded that,
as a rule, the epileptic who has
had no seizures for two years
may be granted a license to
drive a car. They believed that
the risk of an epileptic having
q seizure while driving was
presumably less than the risk
that the elderly driver will have
q coronary thrombosis or cere-
bral hemorrhage.
"Of the 10000 traffic acct
dents dealt with in a hospital
In 1854. only 10 were traced
to an epileptic seizure, but
balanced against these figures
must be those showing that
about 5 per cent of the $50
epileptics driving cars between
1858 and 1865 were held re-
sponsible for traffic accidents. "
