Contract Bridge

BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League AS I often have stated, small cards can play just as important a part in successful contract as aces and kings. In bidding, make sure that your hands fit—don t be guided simply by the number of high card tricks you hold. In the play of the hand, small cards can play an all-important part. Don't merely discard at random—do so in a manner that will convey a definite message to your partner regarding your holding. I do not mean that you should throw the cards down emphatically, or discard them without interest. What I mean is that you discard them intelligently—to echo and show out if you can ruff a card—or to discard so as to show the number you hold of a suit. Following is an example of high cards and low cards in both bidding and play. South and West passed. While I would not criticise North if he opened with a bid of one spade, it is a good hand to pass. East will open the bidding with one diamond. South can make a negative double. West will pass, showing weakness. North will respond with one spade. East shows his second suit by bidding two clubs. South bids two hearts. West and North pass, and

East bids three diamonds. South bids three hearts. nun AGAIN. West and North pass and East, counting in the fiftypoint bonus for a partial score in duplicate, goes to four diamonds. South, endeavoring to keep his opponents from making this partial score, bids four hearts, which, of course. East doubles. West opens the queen of diamonds and continues with the ten. East overtaking with the jack. Before leading a third diamond. East cashed his ace of clubs, fearing the solid spade suit in dummy. West holds the three and deuce of clubs—he must play the three of clubs to start an echo for his partner. East still has control of the trump suit. If he now were to swing the queen of clubs, the declarer would lose only a heart trick and would go down only one trick. If East swings the king of diamonds. South will trump with the ten of hearts, and West can discard his deuce of clubs, showing out of that suit. The declarer can discard two clubs on dummy's king and queen of spades, but when he leads a heart. East is in and returns a club which West trumps, and the contract is thus defeated two tricks. | Copyright. 1933. bv NEA Service. Inc.i

BANDIT, TRAILED 1 BY PRDFESSDR, GIVESSELF UP Surrenders, Then Accepts Counsel of Educator to Return Money. By T'nit < <f Prrm BLOOMINGTON. Ind.. July 22. Eber A. Teter. 33. professor of physiology- at Indiana university, was given sole credit today for the capture and confession of a young farmer who robbed the Bloomington National bank of $572 Friday. He had a deputy sheriffs job awaiting him if he wanted it. Tlie professor witnessed the holdup. He trailed the robber fifty miles until the young man gave himself up, confessed the holdup, and returned all but $2 of the loot. The $2 he spent for gasoline. Tlie robber said he was Rolla Spice, 26. son of Fred Spice, Greene county farmer. “I decided on the holdup early Friday." he told officials and Professor Teter. "Mv father's farm is threatened with foreclosure tyrau.se he is on a note of mine for slls in a Lyons bank. I wanted to pay off the note so my father could keep his farm.’ Borrowed Rusty Gun Young spice said he borrow-ed a rusty revolver from a friend and got up nerve to rob the bank by drinking a half-pint of whisky. Teter was standing outside the bank when the burglar alarm sounded and the gunman ran out. jumped in a small blue coupe, and J dashed away. Teeter had a good view of the bandit's face. He noted that the robber had a mustache. The 200-po. nd instructor went home to lunch, still pondering over the holdup. He was told the bandit car had been driven southeast out of Bloomington. He deeided to turn amateur detective. Teter drove to Bedford and was heading down a road leading out of that town when he spotted a blue coupe. The driver was the bank robber, the professor was certain. Suspect Leaves Hurriedly The car wove in and out of streets and finally stopped at a barber shop. The driver got out, went in. and ordered his mustache shaved off. Teter followed, took an opposite chair and asked for a hair cut. He scanned the suspect critically and noticed that it made the latter flustered. The suspect left hurriedly with Teter following. But the professor lost the trail and just had about given up the hunt when he ran across the blue car on the road to Oolitic, north of Bedford. Teter resumed the chase and folj lowed until the suspect stopped at ' a filling station. The professor i drove to a nearby farmhouse and ' tried to telephone authorities. But he couldn't get a call through. In the meantime, the suspect drove to the farmhouse, railed Teter outside and said: "Well, I guess you know who I am.” "No, I don't believe I do,” rei plied Teter, “but I've seen you somewhere before ” “You Lead the Way” ‘T l the fellow who robbed that bank at Bloomington a few hours ago. What do you think I should : do.” Bandit and professor sat down on | the side of the car and talked for half an hour. "The best thing you can do is # to give yourself up and return the money,” Teter counseled. "The bank president is a good fellow. I know him pretty well.” "All right." answered Spice. “You lead the way and I'll follow.” | When they reached the home of William B. Adams, president. Spice turned over the money and his rej volver and went to jail. Teter was unarmed throughout the entire chase. Sheriff J. Lester Bender offered him a job as deputy. The ar.rient Romans were acquainted with many of the remarkI able beasts of Asia and Africa, from seeing them in zological shows.

Conserr'ation Polluted Water Seen as Sinus and Flu Breeder

BY WILLIAM F. COLLINS Time* Spri,l Writer

IFIND some corroborative evidence to bolster one mayor's argument that impure water in the river has little to do with the health of the community, but this is subject to further analysis First, his argument applies chiefly to the effect on the general health of bathers in two rivers of India, the Ganges and the Jumna, and not to a similar effect on bathers in any river in Indiana. Hankin. scientist, in 1896. discovered something in the waters of the Jumna having the ability to destroy germs of the deadly Asiatic cholera. It was ultra microscopic, unfiltrable and mysterious.

Ten years later D Herelle. in the Pasteur institute, discovered this destroyer to be a cultivable virus, possibly alive, at least fermentative, and he named it bacteriophage. or germ eater. If impure water affected swimmers' health as I have claimed, then the religious bathers of the Ganges would suffer devastating results from the fluvial part of their pilgrimage. Above the bathers' section in the River Ganges stand the ghats, where the aged and diseased find their last earthly resting place. The burning pyres constantly flame around the bodies of the true believers and the remains are thrown into the river. Those not able to finance the cremation are heaved in. To add to this burden of pollution, a city of a million souls extends several kilometers upstream and the bu2k of the sewage flows into the river two kilometers above the religious beach. -

Something more than religious fervor undoubtedly is needed to account for the immunity of the bathers to disease. This something existing in the Ganges and possibly in other tropical rivers is the bacteriophage. While the river is cloudy with pathogenic bacteria, it also is laden with this germ eater in quantities sufficient to parasitize the pathogens

within a very brief stretch of river, and thus immunize the water. It is doubtful if any disease germ arrives at the bathers beach capable of doing damage. As D'Herelle states. "Viewed under a dark microscopic background, the human bacillus dysentery' are seen to swell up under the attack of the invisible bacteriophage, become splferical, and suddenly burst into a cloud of fine granules.” nun I <7 the "tanks" of the hill villages' of India, the mudholes holding ! the community water supply, the bacteriophage does not exist. Out j of these tanks at intervals stalk the grim spectres of cholera and dysentery. While this very happy combination of bug anti-bug exists in the Ganges, and possibly in other tropi- ! cal waters, we do not find it in Indiana waters. Our pathogenic bacteria, notably B. coli, or the human intestinal microbe released in ihe summer waters of the White river, not only can live unmolested by any other germ for long distances down stream, but actually does exist and in many locations multiplies. Tlie medical fraternity is not given to public pronouncement. An attempt to solicit information for publication even from a number of my professional friends has met with polite refusal, so I am forced to relay a conversation that came up in the doctors’ dining room of one of our large state hospitals over the cogarets following a noon meal, last week.

nan THE usual medical reminiscence has worked around to blood counts in an acute case of appendicitis on the third floor now being prepared for surgery. “Her history is the same as the last two. doctor.” explains the interne. "They have been swimming in the Wabash, develop a septic sore throat, in a few days the count goes away up. and their doctor sends them in with appendicitis indicated.” "Can there be any connection between this sore throat and polluted water?” I ask. "Undoubtedly, the three cases we have had this week came from the same tewn and the same swimming place.” "What is the connection between the sore throat and the appendicitis?” "We haven't made any attempt to connect them. They all have a very highly inflamed throat and an initial attack of appendicitis.” The hospital bacteriologist then remarks. “We had a strange run of cases last summer and winter. We cared for a large number of cases of septic sore throat and sinus infection last summer, evidently originating in the water. I noted particularly that the same cases developed a severe attack of in flu-

enza and many were returned here last winter.” Again I ask. "Is there any medical connection between the summer sinus and the winter flu?” "I don't know; I am only relating ! my own observation.” nun CO that's that. I have had a pet theory of my own about the flu. Since the war, when all of m became influenza-conscious, we find the other half of our population smoking. My own experience indicates a head cold follows too ardent a bout with tobacco in the raw months. More smokers, more bouts, more head colds, more flu. What could be more logical? But now I am going to jettison part of my old theory and launch another. I hope some, public health doctor seizes upon it to tear it limb from limb and finds I am right, at least in part. Being an ardent swimmer myself, and one with my children on that score, and now having a septic sore throat along with my daughter from swimming in Lake Freeman, below Monticello's open sewer, you may be sure I'm watching our two cases closely.
