Problem Hand No. Hearts -K, 3 - Clubs -J, y Clubs -J, 6, 3, 2 : A Diamonds -9, 3, 2 z Spades -A, K, 10, 4 No score, rubber game. The hand is applicable either to Auction or to Contract. Z dealt and passed, A. bid one spade, Y one no trump, B passed and Z bid two hearts. A and Y pass- ed and B bid two spades, Z bid three clubs, A and Y passed and B bid three spades, Z bid four ciubs,A doubled, Y redoubled and B bid four spades. Z and A passed. Y doubled, B redoubled and all passed. Y opened the ace of hearts and then led the trey. How should A play the combined hands? Solution: .After winning the second. trick with the king of hearts, A should lead the king of spades. He should then lead a low diamond and win the trick in B's hand with the king, He should then lead a low spade and win the trick with the ace in his own hand. In this particular hand, 2 failed Hearts -Q, 7 Clubs -none Diamonds -none Spades -A, Q, 3 1 Hearts -10, 8, 2 B : Clubs -none Diamonds -A, K, J, 8, 7, 5 Spades -9, 7, 3, 2 to follow suit on the second round of spades. A was now in a position where he count count Z's hand very accurately. Y's lead of the ace and trey of hearts and the fact that B held the deuce in- dicated that Y originally held only two hearts. Therefore, 2 must have beld six bearts. Z's bid and rebid of clubs indicated that he must have held at east five clubs so that his or- iginal holding must have been six hearts, five clubs, one spade and one diamond. Therefore, A at the sixth trick should lead a diamond and finesse the jack. Played in this way, A B should make their contract for Y Z can make only the ace of hearts and two spade tricks, Plan out the hand for practice. Problem Hand No. 2 hearts -6 Clubs -none Diamonds -none Spades --K, 9, 5, 2 A Y Z B FIearts-K, 9 Clubs -none Diamonds-nene Spades -J, 6, 3 , There are no trumps and Z is in the lead, How can Y Z win three of the 'five tricks against any defense? Solution: Z should lead the jack of spades and A's best play is the queen. If A. should play the ace, Y Z will win the balance of the tricks. if A allows the jack to hold the trick, A B can win only one trick, When .A, there- fore, plays the queen of spades, Y should win the trick with the king and lead the six of hearts. If B plays the Hearts -10, 8, 4, 2 Clubs -none Diamonds -none Spades -10 ten, Z should play the king and then lead the nine. If B plays low, Z should play the nine, forcing A in the lead. A can now lead a heart or a spade. If 'he former, 2 wins the trick and leads a spade. If.A'leads the ace and small spade, Y will win the re - Training tricks, In either case therefore, A E can win only one spade and one heart trick so that Y Z win three of the five tricks against any defense.

Carl Rohwer, associate irrigation en- gineer for the Department of Agricul- ture, developed the method, a formula requiring special hydraulic apparatus. To devise the rule it was necessary to make a sensitive instrument which measures losses as small as 50.1000th of an inch. The instrument Is so sen- sitive the observer can see the water surface dropping as the water evap- orates from the tank. Dr. Rohwer's experinteuts demon- strated that, contrary to general be- lief, water evaporates faster Buying the night than in daytime, provided there is no wind to affect the process. It was shown oleo that water that did not freeze In winter evaporated al- lmosit as fast as water in the summer months. Evaporation inose es with the altitude, it also was tsuz d.
