Some players carry it a step farther and when their partners open a king against a no trump contract, they feel called upon to play their second highest card in the suit led. This is a bad convention. It is harmful more often than it is

helpful.

It is better in this latter case to forget about conventions. Just play your lowest card if you are not interested in the continuation of the suit and the highest card you can spare if you feel sure it is to your side’s best advantage to have the suit continued. * OVER-LEARNED True to his nature whenever he learns anything new to him, Mr. Muzzy has “over-learned” on the subject of signals. Somewhere he has picked up this absurdity about playing his second highest card when his partner leads a

So, on Mr. Abel’s lead of the king of spades in today’s deal, he dropped the eight spot. Mr. Dale played low from dummy and did his bit to make the eight look like a come-on signal by following with the seven. See what this did to Mr. Abel: If Mr. Muzzy was so in love with the spade suit he probably had the jack. Even without the jack but with a four-card length, the spade continuation would be advantageous because then Mr. Dale would have started with the doubleton jack. QUEEN OF SPADES Mr. Abel led the queen of spades at trick two—and there went the chance of defeating the contract. Mr. Dale won with the ace in dummy and knocked out the ace of diamonds. On the heart return he finessed dummy’s nine and Mr. Muzzy took the jack and led his last spade. Mr. Dale won this and tested the diamonds. When it was clear they would not break he took another heart finesse and lost to the king. But then he had nine cold tricks—two spades, two hearts, two diamonds and three clubs.

Between 1911 and 1935, a hrief span of twenty-five years, extraordinary progress was made in public health. According to figures released by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, the duration of human life during tin* period was extended by almost fourteen years. It is all the more remarkable in the light of the history of this period, which included the first World War, the worst epidemic in recent history, and America’s most severe depression. Many agencies have contributed to make America a more healthful place in which to live. Not the least of these are scientific medicine and pharmacy, which work unceasingly for better methods of prevention and treatment of disease.
