CONTRACT BRIDGE
THE FINESSES WORKED
THE MAJORITY of hands
played require declarer to take
more than a single finesse. If
half the necessary finesses favor
him that is all he should expect.
Usually, also there are high hon
ors, a part of which must be killed,
to enable declarer to fulfill his
contract. Today’s play illustrates
the i.T - ortance of finding at least
half of such hazards favoring de
clarer.

Results From Obesity
& y I-OGAN CLENDENING, M. D.
TWO SAN FRANCISCO physi-
c >an:. have recently called attention
in a very special way to an old
subject, which should be of interest
to all over
weight people.
They point out
that over
weight itself
alone is not a
fault after
middle age,
but that the
distribution of
surplus fat, es
peci all y in
men, those

domen, causes
them to as

which is distinctly detrimental to
h °alth. This may be true whether
the patient is actually overweight
except for the paunch, really
kok3 somewhat gaunt and thin. In
fa <"t, with a thin scraggy neck and
head, and large potted abdomen,
the effect may be just as bad as if
th' re were general overweight
everywhere.
What happens here is that the
height of the abdomen pulls on the
' laphragm, which affects the aera
han of the lungs, and to a certain
extent the action of the heart; but
even worse than that is its effect
on the spine.

With a large abdomen, the bai

could not afford to lose even one
heart trick.
The 10 of clubs was led and
finessed. It lost to South’s Q. As
expected, the leader was out of
hearts, so he had to lead back an
other suit. When trumps were not
led it appeared as if at least one
missing honor of that suit wa3
held by the leader. The 2 of dia
monds was led. Declarer split
honors, his 10 forcing North’s Q,
which lost to the Ace. That was
fine. The Ace of trumps was led,
picking up North’s only spade.
The 7 followed. South played the
8. Declarer’s 9 won the trick. Both
declarer and South made errors.
Declarer should have taken his two
heart discards before leading the
second spade. When declarer led
the second spade South should
have won with his K, and led a
diamond. Then North would have
taken two heart tricks and defeat
ed declarer.
Dummy was put in with a club.
On two good clubs declarer let go
both his losing hearts. At the
ninth trick dummy’s last trump
was led. It made no difference in
final results which honor South
played. It merely seemed more
normal for him to win with his K,
but he chose to let declarer pick
up the J with the Q. This left
South the bare K of spades, while
declarer held the 10-3. The 10 of
diamonds lost to the K, giving de
fenders their second defensive
trick. The J of hearts was led,
obliging declarer to ruff. South
let go his lowest diamond. Dum
my’s good 9 of diamonds took the
twelfth trick. Os course the final
trick went to South’s K, with de
clarer’s 10 underruffing dummy’s
last heart. West had found just
enough favorable breaks to fulfil)
his game contract.
spine in the region of the neck and
shoulders is rounded, the head
thrust forward so that the entire
spine looks like an inverted let
ter S.
Everybody must have noticed
how certain people, especially men,
after middle age, come to assume
this stooping, head-thrust-forward
posture over a large Santa Claus
stomach.
They are further characterisezd
by the fact that they have a some
what purplish mottled complexion,
due to the fact that the lungs are
compressed and proper aeration is
not obtained.
A curious symptom is shortness
of breath when in the standing po
sition, which disappears when in
the lying position. This is exactly
opposite of the shortness of breath
which occurs in heart failure, when
the patients cannot get their
breath while lying down, but can
get it perfectly while standing up.
It is due to the fact that the heavy
pendulous abdomen pulls on the
diaphragm in the upright position,
and does not allow it to empty the
lung completely in expiration.
Certain of the consequences of
this condition and the treatment
will be discussed in later articles
this week.
