Opening lead: Spade queen.
West leads the queen Of
spades, and you have an easy
way to make four hearts. That
Is, the way is easy If you
know all about cross-ruffs.
Count your tricks. Yor have
the ace Of spades and the ace
of diamonds as your chief as
sets in the side suits. You need
eight trump tricks to win the
game and rubber.
How do you make eight
trump tricks? It's no feat to
win tricks with your own five
trumps. The important thing
is to win three trump tricks
in dummy-by ruffing.
Start Early
What can you ruff three
times in dummy Clubs. of
course. So you start early by
taking the ace Of spades and
returning a club.
An opponent wins and re-
turns a trump. Whenever you
look as though you want to
ruff cards in the dummy an
alert opponent will lead a
trump.
You win the trump in
dummy and cash the ace Of
diamonds. What do you dis
card? A spade. AS we have
seen, you intend to ruff three
clubs in dummy. 1t would
never do to discard one of
your clubs, for then you would
give up one of your fuffing
tricks. The opponents would
have q chance to lead another
trump. and the game would
go glimmering.
Now the stage is set for the
crosS-ruff. You lead a diamond
from dummy and ruff in your
hand. The next step is to lead
a club from your hand and
ruff in dummy. Continue thi!
process as long as possible
and you'll wind up with the
ten tricks that you need.

ControversaY Rampant
On Lee Reenactment

Controversary has been keen
in Amelia over the recent reen-
actment of Lees acceptance of
the command of the Virginia
Army.
Did he or did he not have a
black, dropping mustache, black
hair sprinkled with gray and no
beard at that time?
A m e m Der Of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy
in Amelia wrote a letter to the
Centennial Committee regard
ing the question.
Back came the reply, Lee had
gray hair for only eight years
of his life and to change his
true appearance simply because
of created image. would be a
gross distortion Of true facts
giving DR.. Douglas Southall
Freeman's and all Of Lees bet
ter biographer book illustra-
tons for their authority.
Amelia has found her own
authority that he had black
mustache and black hair around
that time.
Lee is supposed to have spent
the night of April 6 at Amelia
Court House and to have visited
in the home of a prominent resi-
dent during the wait for supplies
which he expected TO be shipped
to him over the Richmond-Dan-
vile Railroad.
In an old album, formerly be-
longing to Mrs. c. R. Irving, of
Amelia Court House, whose
death occurred in 1901, a photo
grapher of Lee was found. In 1t

no one has been able to quite

this-A E tub As. Could it mean
the picture was taken in lS45,
or was As years old when it was
taken?
Persons who have studied the
picture and writing believe it
means he was "about AS years
Of age. This would make the
cate of the picture late in 1851
or early in 1852. A note in Dr.

Freeman's "R. E. Lee" says
no pictures Of Lee taken during
the war are known to exist. The
time element still allows a year
or SO between the time Lee
took over the Army of Virginia
and the beginning Of the eight
years spoken Of in which he had
the white beard and hair.

QUGntiSy Discounts. Besides policies, there are
some other important new insurance features. Ii
you have been increasing the amounts of insurance
you are carrying, make that you have the low
est possible cost for the total amount. For example
the paper work on $4,000 life-insurance policy
doesn't cost any more than that on 81 900 policy.
Lower rates per unit larger amounts reflect this
fact. In some cases you may be able to save money
by consolidating small policies.
Life Insurance for Everyone. If you have tried to
get the life insurance you need and have been turned
down as bad risk, try again. In recent years the
