This method or playing such 'suits is called "ducking." Other suits Very frequently in Auction and Con -lin the dummy whore the first trick tract a player has a suit which is should be lost, if no re-entry, are A, strong enough to take all the tricks but one, and the way or the time to lose that trick becomes a puzzling pro- position. Whole books might be writ- ten on this subject, but there are a certain few situations that come up so effort to win the first trick. Your only frequently that they should be thor- hope to establish such a suit is to find oughly analyzed and understood. As three to the king on your left.

In the first case, finesse the ten of the suit on. the first round and, if it fails to force the king, finesse the queen on the second round. In the second case, make no Hearts—A, Q, 10, 7, 6 Clubs -8, 5, 4, 3, 2 Diamonds—K, 7 Spades -10 The proper lead with this hand is the seven of hearts. The bldidng indi- cates that the dealer has at least three beasts to the King or King Jack, so that if you lose the first trick and your partner later obtains the lead, a lead through the dealer's hand will enable you to win the balance of the heart tricks. Suppose, however, you decide to open the trey of clubs an'd your finesse the jack on the second. Still another angle comes up fre- quently. Suppose you are playing a no trump hand and hold only one stopper in your adversary's suit, for example, A, 4, 2 of clubs. With this type of suit, hold up your ace until the third round in the hope that your other adversary hasn't more than three of the suit and cannot lead to his partner. Of course, there are many exceptions to this situation, but, as a general proposition, it's good policy to lose the first and second rounds of an adversary's suit if you have only one stopper.

The volcanoes of Hawaii, one of which is erupting, are still youthful and throw out the kinds of lava which harden into the black rock called basalt. If the Hawaiian volcanoes follow the usual rule, this basalt lava gradually will be repaced by kinds of lighter color, differing also in chemical composition, and harden- ing to rocks called trachytes. This is the usual history of volcanoes every- where and all of the basalts from youthful volcanoes are of much the same chemical composition all over the earth. For some reason which geologists do not understand, it is the lighter colored lavas from older vol- canoes which seem to be associated with valuable deposits of gold and other metals, probably brought up by the lavas from deep in the earth's crust. If geologists knew exactly why the volcanoes emit these different kinds of lava at different ages clues might be obtained about where to search for mineral deposits still un- found nfound or even about how to make vol- canoes olcanoes grow old faster and disgorge their previous metals that much soon- er.
