Following is the explanation of Ripley's "Believe It or Not,” which appeared in Tuesday's Times: The Magic of Figures—There is only one possible arrangement in a magic square of the third order. Already the square of the n"xt. order 1 4 by 4 1 can be transformed 4,352 different ways. Number of possible variations in a magic square sby 5 is 28.800. ( There are 363.916.800 possible ways of arranging the figures from 1 to 49 to form a magic square of the seventh order. From here on. the possibilities of transforming the nagic squares of a higher order increase in an astounding ratio. Huegel, the German mathematician, has undertaken the stupendous task of calculating all the possible arrangements of 'he figures from 1 to 169 in a magic square of the thirteenth order. According to his findings, the paper required for the printing of all possible com-

CONTRACT £1 " l expects'pi ay IT Si c — — ~ ■ McKTNNiYsm

BY VV. E. MKENNEY Secretary American Bridge League /'ANE of the most disagreeable combination of cards for the opening leader to hold is an acequccn combination. You often have heard players make the remark "Never lead away from an This foolish convention has cost countless tricks. There is another rule on this type which says, ‘‘Never lead away from a king.” Rules are made for the average hand, and there are times when they must be broken. I much rather would lead from an ace-queen than I would lead a three-card suit, as shown in the following hand.

*Q-6-2 VQ-J-2 ♦ K-8-5-3-2 *lO-7 ’ *lO-7-3 NORTH 4 9_5 V 9-8-7 £ 5 VK-5-4 ♦ Q-J-10 tu co * 7-6-4 * A-Q-5- £ “I * K-J-9-4 Dealer 3-2 |SOUTH AA-K-J-8-4 VA-10-6-3 ♦ A-9 *B-6 44

The Bidding South, the dealer, starts the contracting with one spade. West passes and North bids tw s o spadas. South then goes to four spades. The Plav West has not much to guide his lead—he is forced to make what is known as a blind lead. Some players w'ould make the mistake of opening the queen of diamonds, but there is much danger of establishing the declarer's long suit. If the queen of diamonds is ooened in this hand, the declarer will win with the ace, lead another diamond immediately to dummy's king, and ruff the third diamond, establishing two diamonds in dummy. Now the ace. king and a small spade will be played, the third spade being won in dummy with the queen.

Trotted Two Miles with a Broken Bone—Although she was suffering from a clean fracture of the pelvic bone, Nedda Guy, 3-year-old trotting star of the 1931 season, trotted the first heat of the Hambletonian stake at Goshen, N. Y„ 1931, in 2:05' 4 to finish fifth, and then, even though considerably more lame, returned for the second heat and cut her time to 2:034 to finish second, only a quarter second slower than the best time of Calumet Butler, wanner. Nedda Guy then was so lame she had to be withdrawn and assisted off the track When examination | disclosed the fracture, she was to suffer the usual fate of seriously injured racing horses, but her owner, Walter Cox, gave her such excellent care that she now' is in sound condition and an outstanding contender for honors in the 4-year-old division.

This will allow the declarer to: discard his tw r o losing clubs on dummy's good diamonds. The heart finesse then can be taken and a grand slam will be made on the hand. West, therefore, leses two tricks by refusing to open from his I ace-queen. One should combine common sense with the conventional plays. The good player is marked by his ability to violate conventions at the right time. Just as this hand shows a time w’hen a lead should be made from ace-queen, so do times come when one must lead aw r ay from a king. And don't forget that sometimes trumps should be the lead—this a fact frequently overlooked by the beginner.

The Horse Power Paradox— Horse power is an arbitrary unit for measuring energy. It w ; as evolved by Watt, who based it upon his observation of the work of dray horses in a London brewery. It is defined as the energyrequired to lift a load of 33,000 pounds out of a hole one foot deep, in one minute." It does not represent the maximum effort of which a horse may be capable. In 1924 a light team of horses belonging to an lowa farmer made a traction pull equaling the effort necessary to lift 32,500 pounds out of a hole one foot deep for a distance of twenty-seven and onehalf feet. Either horse thus developed more than thirteen and one-half horse pow'er in the test. The feat of the lowa team is a world’s record. Thursday: “A Literary Marvel”

FIGHT TO SAVE BOY, ‘ASLEEP’ FOR 267 DAYS 9-Year-Old Lad Is Showing Signs of Recovery, ‘Nurses’ Claim. B’l Pfiitrd Press MEMPHIS. July 13.—A trio of women hovered over the cot of wan-faced. 9-year-old Joe Huggins, confident that some day he will rouse from the sleep which today i had held him for 267 days. “Joe is getting along nicely.” said Mrs. S. T. Rider, who has cared for the sleeping sickness victim irt her home since he left a hospital May 2. Today lacked but two days of being nine months since the boy drowsed off into his long nap. But today the three women who have watched over him are sure they see signs of recovery. Physicians almost have despaired of awakening Joe. Takes Food With Spoon Watching with Mrs. Rider, are the , boy’s 19-year-old, red-haired aunt, | Birdie Suetidwell, and his grand- i mother, both from Abbeville, Miss. 1 “Os course, he is still-well, not unconscious, but semi-conscious,” | Mrs. Rider said. "And he has to be fed. He just lies there—out in the sun, or in the cool of the house—all day. He never * talks. "He hasn’t taken food through a tubes for two months now. and I feed him with a spoon. It’s slow. But I still believe that some day he will get well.” The experiment of Dr. Eugene Traut of Oak Park. 111., in taking a j serum from the blood of Patricia Maguire. 27, who has been in a coma for 147 days, and using it in an at- ; j tempt to cure her, interests Mrs. Rider. Weight Remains Sajne "We’ve had so many offers to i furnish serums and other applications that I am leaving everything to our doctor," Mrs. Rider said. Epidemic encephalitis is the sci- j : entitle name of the disease, commonly called sleeping sickness. - Sometimes Joe opens his eyes, but j he does not seem to see. A Christmas tree loaded with toys; placed before him last Christmas! 1 evoked little interest. His weight has remained about j j the same. The boy entered a hospital in a dazed condition Oct. 14.

THE lot of the lobbyist is to be a tough one if some legislators have their way. First shot at the gentlemen and ladies who attempt to induce legis- j lators to vote in the manner they desire on ce-tain bills was taken by the house, when it adopted a resolution banning use of the floor to any except members ana reporters. But, as usual, a loophole remains." This was a proviso that non-mem-bers could be permitted access upon a card signed by a legislator. Representative H. H. Evans (Rep.).: Newcastle, who once had a teacher, threaten him with defeat if he voted against teacher tenure, and an enraged citizen shake his flst under the statesman's nose, in collaboration with Representative Rollin S. Place iDem.i, Denver, has introduced an anti-lobbving bill. This bars any state official, employe, board member or other per- 1 son from attempting to use coercion in lobbying tactics. A fine of SSO to SI,OOO and imprisonment from one to three years and disenfranchisement are the penalties. a b a "You should hear the way the ' lobbyists took after me when they heard about the bill,” said Evans. "One was a member of a state in-, stitution board.” But all these measures are empty gestures. Example of this is seen in the law which requires all lobbyists to register. . j At present there are approximately as many lobbyists as legislators in the statehouse, excluding department heads, officials, employes and board members, who rally to fight any appropriations slash. Only six organizations have registered and paid the $2 fee. One bad break for the legislators is that the great corporations, which formerly were profuse in their gifts, today are busted financially. These gifts were not presented crassly or crudely, of course, but let \ us say that some members like to look upon the juice of the grape, i corn, or rye when it is red. Well, 1 those gentlemen would be supplied amply with their favorite weakness. ( a a u Then, some members Tin the past, ! of course,! may have been in dire need of pecuniary assistance to keep
