In the play of the hands at Auction and Contract there are numberless opportunities to make good plays, but the most important one of all is the winning of the trick that scores game or saves it. For example, suppose the declarer is playing spades and it is easily possible to make three odd but there is no apparent way to score game. That is the time for the de- clarer to do some deep thinking and endeavor to figure out some way to make game. Sometimes this can be done by mentally placing certain high cards in the opponents' hands in such a way that game is possible. At other times it can only be done by letting the opponents have the lead in the hope that they will make a mistake an.d thus give the declarer his only ehauce for game. That is what is meant by getting the trick that scores game. On the other band, suppose your Hearts --A, R. J, 7 Clubs -4 Diamonds -9, 7, 6 Spedee-0, 8, 7. 5, 3 24 opponents are playing the hand at spades, and it is up to you to save game. You can figure out how to take three tricks but cannot see any hope for the fourth trick. Then you should figure out in your mind what card or cards your partner must hold to make that extra trick and play ac- cordingly. You will be surprised how often the card that you figure must be there, will be there and therefore save the game. It is an close hands of this type that the good player has such au advantage. The all-import- ant trick of every hand is the one that either makes game or saves game; so bend all your energies and concentrate all your thought on that one trick and, if it is in the cards, don't let It get away from you. The following hand is given as an. illustration of the dealer's failure to observe this rule and of the big loss resulting. Hearts -9, 6 Clubs -K, J, 7 Diamonds -K, 10, 8, 5, 4, 2 Spades -A, K : t3 Z tA V Hearts -Q, 10, 8, 5, 4 2 Clubs -10, 9, 8, 5, 3 Diamonds -3 Spades -4 Hearts -8 Clubs -A, Q, 6, 2 Diamonds -A, Q, J.

By so doing, he could have made five - odd in spades If A had then led either one of the other three suits, for in that ease he could have taken A's trumps And his suit cards were all good. If A had led another heart at trick three, Z should have trumped in the dummy with the king and then led four rounds of trumps. He should then have led wither clubs or diamonds until A made bis last trump. In Ibis way, Z could have made four spades. If, however, he trumped the 'emceed heart trick in his hand and led jdwo rounds of spades, his hand was hopeless and be would lose his con- Rearts---n 0510 Olubc-Q, 6 Diamond s -J Sped eeeeQ 'hat: New York That Breaded Time of Life Is Wearing Mrs. Br'ockhank Tells Why She Recommends Dr. Williams' BY ANNEBELLE WORTHINGTON Pink Pills to Women of 40 to 50 illustrated Ds essinalcing Lesson .Fier- nished With Ever!/ Pattern "My age was 48 Color --which every wo- Appt'tito man cal kntimowse is a oY life Returned -when I derived such benefits from Ar.

This band shows the importance of thinking out the play of the hand and the possible cards held by opponents, even at the second trick. The minute the dummy hand was placed on the table, Z should have figured what cards A must hold to justify his; double. The only excuse .for the double would be at least five small trumps and the ace, king of hearts. WIth any less holding in trumps, A's double would have been unsound. It is an easy hand with all the cards exposed, but not easy if they are con- cealed unless you stop to think and figure out haw the unseen cards must lie to give you. game. It is a fine illustration of the importance of play- ing for the all-important trick that will score game and of doing so from the very first card played. In the following problem, try your own skill in solving before reading the solution. Then compare results and thus obtain a valuable lesson or evidence that you are pretty good, dependent upon feilure or success. Problem Hearts -none Clubs -A, ;J, 10 Diamonds -none Spades -9 z V : Hearts 10 Clubs -4 Diamonds -A, 4 Spades -none If hearts are trumps and Z is In the lead, how can Y, Z win all four tricks against any defense? Solution: Z should lead the ace of alianlends and discard the ten of clubs En Y's hand. He should then lead the ten of hearts. Now A must discard 'either a club or a spade, He cannot 'discard a spade for, if he does, Y will discard the jack of clubs and his nine of spades will be good. A, therefore, Hearts -none Clubs -K, 9 Diamonds -K, Q Spades -none is forced to discard the six of clubs and Y discards the nine of spades. B must now discard a club or a diamond. He cannot discard the king of dia- monds for, if he does, Z's four of diamonds will be good. B, therefore, is forced to discard the nine of clubs. Z now leads the four of clubs and Y wins the remaining two tricks. It is a fine example of the "double squeeze." "Really, I think BAIN'S OWN • TAB- nare u�rir„'/kee P. MacDonad,i ribfe d, n .

She is employed by the Post Office to think out the names for new ex- changes, and she has in. her desk enough names to christen all Britain's new exchanges for several years to come. It sounds an easy job, but she doesn't think so. Scarcely one per cent. of her suggested names is pass- ed. 27,90 Owing to dialling limitations, a name must not begin with an "0," it must not sound like any other name, and its first three letters must not clash with any other first three. After a name has been passed as fit for ese it is given a complete voice test. Exchange operators test it thor- oughly, and quite half the names given the test are rejected because they see hard to understand. Recently the G.

It has no fine river pro- menades like many another European city the Danube is too far from the center of things for that -but its awak- ening after winter snows is a wonder- ful sight. With the coming of the lilac blossom the Viennese feel that spring l is really here. Day after day crowds flock to the parks to admire the blos- som -laden bushes. The Rathaus Gar- den is another favorite place of pil- grimage with its many exotic trees and plants. Vienna can truly be ailed the lilac city, for not only is the lilac blossom the indication of spring, it is aso to be noted that to this city the lilac was first brought from Asia nearly three and a half centuries ago. At the corner of the Himmelpfortgasse and the Seilerstaette stood a garden, where, in 1589, the lilac first blossomed 3n Europe. This garden belonged to Gis- lenius Busbequins, Ferdinand 1's -Am- bassador to Constantinople. He was a great lover of flowers, and to him is given the honor of having introduced both the lilac and the tulip into Eur- ope. It 'is true that another kind of lilac has been found iu the Carpathi- ans, but this was much later, and this latter cannot be compared in quality to shat which came from the Orient.
