Exception To Rule Would Save The Day By Alfred Shienwold “There is wickedness abroad, Watson,” said Sherlock Holmes as he reached into his pocket for the handcuffs he always carried. The great detective had just watched today’s hand when his alert eye spotted a crime.

I NT Pass 3 NT All Paa Opening lead — A J West led the jack of spades, declarer put up dummy’s queen, and East covered with the king. South refused the first and second spade tricks but had to win the third. South next led a diamond, finessing with dummy’s ten. East won with the jack of diamonds and returned a club.

South put up the ace of clubs

and led another diamond.

When the king of diamonds appeared South ran his nine tricks — five diamonds, two

hearts and two black aces. PICK THE CRIMINAL

While Holmes is snapping on the bracelets, pick the criminal: for yourself. Read on only after you have made up your

mind.

The crime occurred when South led the first diamond from his hand. West must step up with the king of diamond— or be branded as a criminal. Declarer cannot afford to let West hold the king of diamonds, for then West would defeat the contract with the rest of the spades. But if declarer takes the first diamond trick in dummy he cannot bring the rest of the suit in. It costs West nothing to make the play, for his king of diamonds is clearly useless when dummy holds the ace-queen. The king serves only to prevent South from ducking the first round of diamonds. “Second hand low” is a good rule, but there are exceptions to all bridge rules.

H-A Q J 9; D-T t| O-A J • 4. What do you say? Answer: Bid one club or one notrump. Many experts refuse to open with one notrump when they hold two small cards In a suit. Others are willing to bid one notrump if the hand is otherwise ideal. An opening bid of one club is better than one ehart because you are more likely to find out whether or not partner has diamonds if you open with one club.

Reopen Beach At State Park

INDIANAPOLIS UPI — The State Board of Health gave a contingent green light for reopening of the Lincoln State Park Lake beach to swimmers. Dr. A. L. Marshall, director of the communicable disease division of the board, said the park operators were told they could allow swimming again if they erected a fence to keep people away from a small section of the beach which was contamin-

ated by raw sewage.

Marshall said two cases of bacillary dysentery at Evansville were confirmed and both victims had been at the beach earlier. He said the contamination was traced to a stopped-up sewer. The sewage had backed ; up, run out of manhole cover and across the sandy beach into

the lake.

Marshall said heavy chlorination and raking of the section of beach where the raw sewage was found had reduced the contamination but not eliminated it, thus requiring fencing. He said he cautioned park operators to make sure there was no future overflow of sewers.

Big Drop In Home Building WASHINGTON UPI — Home building activity in the nation dropped to a five year low in June as the money squeeze grew tighter, the Commerce Department reported today. Housing starts fell .to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1,288,000 units, compared to 1,295,000 in May and 1,566,000 in June 1965. It was the lowest month for : housing starts since May, 1961. A Commerce Department official said there was no doubt the chief cause of the decline was the current shortage of mortgage money and the high interest rates that home buyers must pay for loans. Building permits, an indicator of future housing activity, fell even more, hitting the lowest level since at least 1959. Permits dropped to an adjusted annual rate of 941,000 units, compared to 1,098,000 in May and 1,225,000 in June, 1965. It was the lowest that permits have gone since the Commerce Department began keeping track back in 1959.

Try To Dispel The Spell Of Constant Misspelling

By ROBERTA ROESCH “You will be doing employes a favor,” an executive told me this week, “if you emphasize wherever you can the importance of knowing how to spelL “I have frequently had to let people go, even ones with skills, because they couldn’t spell. Useless Speed “Just today, I had to give a girl her notice, even though her typing speed was outstanding. She could make her typewriter fly, but she was getting nowhere because her work had to be done all over again. "In the first six words of her most recent letter, she misspelled ‘absent’ and separate.’ As the letter continued, so did her misspellings. I had to let her go.” Since many employers talk about the need for more accurate spelling, there is no better time than this moment to make sure you are not the employe who Will lose opportunities because you can’t type a word correctly. Here are five tips that might help you. Always Beside You 1. Keep a dictionary beside you and use it when you are in doubt. 2. Ask your boss to spell out difficult names or technical terms the first time he dictates them, if they are not in the dictionary. Then list these in a notebook that you keep handy, too. S. In this same notebook, write down the common everyday words that you have trouble with. Memorize and practice spelling them. 4. If certain words continue to plague you, go back to your grammar school routine and write each word a hundred

times. You may be bored doing this, but the word may stick with you. 5. Use “crutches” or “canes” to help you with troublesome words. If you can’t remember that there’s an “s” in absent” and “absence,” define each word loosely in your mind, telling yourself that you haven’t sent yourself or had been sent to a

7-20 Keep A Dictionary Close By To Look Up Spelling Of Words certain place This is an “s-y” way to remember the “s”. There are two ways to get the spelling of the word ’’separate” down pat. If you are a dood’er, keep writing it down, making the “a” after the “p” a big capital letter. Or you can lake a tip from the old oyster slogan and remember that there ”R” two “a’s” in “separate” and they “R ’ separated by the “r”. • Your Own Ways You can probably think of plenty of your own ways to help you remember how to spell such troublesome words as: supersede (not supercede), precede (not preceed), proceed (not precede), dilemma (not dilemna). When you master them, they might spell out ways in which you can hold on to or advance in your job.
