On? of the most dangerous of the escaped inmates was Arnolado S. Riggio, 24, New York, who was said to have shown an obsession of hate since lie was convicted or holding up a drug store. Another of Ihe men has attacked attendants and three other.; were said to have shown murderous tendencies) while in the asylum. The others were believed harmless. During tlie excitement of remov- j ing the inmates to safety Marian G. Smith, an inmate, struck and seriously injured a guard with a club, j There were several minor clashes between guards and inmates. o Despot’s Sartorial Reform When Peter the Great of Russia came to the throne he determined to civilize the dress of his subjects .—the men should not wear petticoats and whiskers half a yard long; so he established a body of military tailors and barbers at each gate of Moscow.

Red Indians Not Cannibals Cannibalism was not unknown among the Indians of North America. The almost extinct Tonka- | ways of Texas have the reputation of being “the last of the cannibals.'' I and the Atlucupns owe their name j to this piocticf, attributed to them by their neighbors. Caniiijmlisni has been rarer in America than is generally supixised. As one writer says, “Outside of Us occurrence through i necessity in ways known to civilized peoples, it was cliielly martial and ceremonial." Arctic Tern a Traveler The long distance Hying record belongs to a species of birds which J sometimes nests in New England— j the Arctic tern. These birds nest 1 at least as far north as the most northern Eskimos live while they spend our winters on the coasts and Islands of Antarctica. According to at least one authority the Arctic tern makes a round trip of ’22.000 miles between its farthest north and farthest south. A bird banded in I.a lira ilor was picked up DO days later in Natal, South Africa, 0,000 milesuway.

On the l at the bridge table is “bidding to the other hand, defensive bids should be ! score”. Players seem to think that if made when the opponents' score is ‘ they have a score toward game, they such that their bid, if made, will give 1 are justified in making bids that they them the game. Under such conditions i would never think of doing if they had the score is important, but players no score. should lie sure they understand the % , The following rule is very simple distinction: that is, from an offensive , and should tie thoroughly understood, standpoint, the score is never im"Nevcr consider the score in making portant; but, from a defensive stand- ' an offensive bid”. In other words the point, it always is. Consider the fol- 5 score is immaterial when you make an lowing example hand: original bid. Such a bid should be the ■< y Hearts— f, 5 Clubs — 10, 9,8, 3 , Diamonds — Q, J, 10, 9, 3 Spades —9, 2 1 Hearts —Q,S, 6, 2 Hearts —K, 10, 4, 3 , Clubs—K, 6,2 : Y : Clubs —5,4 1 Diamonds — 8,2 : A B : Diamonds — 7,6, 5 , Spades —K,J, 7, 6 : Z : Spades —A,S, 4, 3 ( Hearts — A, 9,7 , Clubs —A, Q, J, 7 1 Diamonds — A, K, 4 1 Spades — Q, 10, 8 i

But if Y says “Two Diamonds”, A at least is not going to leave it in. He will bid “Two Spades”. With the score as it is, and with the feeling that Y has a weak hand, A will make an effort. Over “Two Spades” from A, Z will bid “Three Diamonds”; B will raise his side's bid to “Three Spades". If Z bids “Four Diamonds”, Y fails by a trick. If Z doubles, A goes down only one trick, a cheap save at the score. There is nothing exceptional in the above hands. If it were love-all

AUCTION BIDDING: No score, rubber game. Z dealt, bid one no trump and all passed. If A opened the five of diamonds, how should Z play the hand so that he can I score a grand slam against any defense? CONTRACT BIDDING: Z's proper opening bid is two no trumps. A passes and Y should bid for a grand slam. All pass and the play will be the same as at .Auction. Solution: Z should win the first trick in his hand with the ace of diamonds, not the ten. He should then lead out his four top clubs and his three top hearts, being careful to have his own

(No Trace Has Been Found of Bandits Battle Ground, Ind., Feb. 7. — <U.R) ( i —No trace had been found today j ■ of tlie three bandits who late yes- j 1 teruay robbed the Hattie Ground | I State Hank of $1,400, Charles Boite, j investigator for the state bureau of criminal investigation, said after visiting the institution. Two men entered the bank near j closing time and another remained ! outside in an auto. Clyde Jones, cashier, and two women employes | were locked in the bank vault and a customer was forced to lie on j the floor during the robbery, Five of 15 Fishermen Rescued From Lake Buffalo, N. Y. Feb. 7 —(UP)—' Coast guardsmen pushed through heavy ice and a blinding snow storm | on Lake Uric today and brought in 1 five of Id fishermen wiio had been drifting on an ice floe two miles oft' the Buffalo shore.

Purdue Sophomore Is Critically Injured Lafayette, Ind., Feb, 7. — (U.R) — George T.

He suffered a broken arm and thigh, and possibly a fractured skull, Wenger's machine struck

- and Z bid "One No-Trump,” it would j be ridiculous for Y to take out with “Two Diamonds” on the above hand. Let Z have a chance to make game, and I don’t hoist the white Hag by a “weak i take-out”. And even when the score is ] 16 or more, a take-out of “One No- , Trump” into “Two Clubs” or “Two , Diamonds” suggests a weak spot and ‘ , encourages the opponents to enter the lists. I CONTRACT BIDDING: Z should bid one no trump and A ; should pass. At contract, Y’s obliga- : tion to pass with such a weak hand is- , much stronger than at Auction. If Y i passes, B will also pass and Z will [day the hand at one no trump. Here is a neat little problem for you to consider:

hand in the lead at the close of the eighth trick. On these seven thicks, A can follow suit only four times so is forced to make three discards. He cannot discard more than one diamond or Z can lead the ten of diamonds, finesse the jack and thus score three diamond tricks. (The reason for the play of the ace of diamonds at trick one should now be apparent). A is forced, therefore, to discard one diamond and two spades. The spade discards, however, enable Z to make four spade tricks. These tricks plus the king of diamonds enable Z to win every trick. There is no defense to this solution, which is a fine illustration of forcing discards.
