When the declarer’s hand is used for ruffing, making the dummy the one to set up, the usual order of events is reversed. Such tactics are sel dom possible when the declarer has five trumps opposite three in the dummy. 4764 *K J 9 6 ♦J7 5 2 *QB * KJ9 r~70 — *852 ¥3 . 5875 2 ♦A K Q £ U) 4643 10 9 5 A J 7 3 *K 95 4 L -■ * 4 A Q 10 3 VAQ 10 4 • ♦ 8 4 A 10 6 2 (Dealer: South.

APPROPRIATE reading for Washington’s birthday, especially |° r its medical reminiscences, is hr. Cecil Drinker’s book “Not So Long Ago”. It r Mb ' Clendening consists in ex cerpts from his gr ea t- g reat g r a ndmother’s diary. She lived in Philadelphia: the diary covers the years from 1758 to 1807. It gives a very good pic ture of medical practice in those colonial days; Mrs. Drinker took a lively in- terest in sick ly ss ; a tr ait that she apparently f n< J® d dow n to her descendants, ( jj Dr .

West re turned another club and after win ning with the Q, declarer ruffed another diamond. On the club A, he discarded a spade and then ruffed the club 10 with the heart 6. The diamond J was now trumped with the heart A and the spade A cashed. When the spade 3 was led, East holding only three trumps, was obliged to trump and return a heart to North’s two remaining trumps, the K-9. The last two tricks were North’s. 9 Due to his fine planning, declarer lost only three tricks, the diamond on the first round, the club K and the spade that East ruffed. • • * Tomorrow’s Problem 4K84 4A 9 2 ♦ Q 10 8 b *765 4 Q 9 2 —T7 — 4 10 7 6 3 4Q J 6 .. 410 874 4A 9 £ m 47 5 2 * A Q 10 4 c *92 3 4A J 5 4K 5 3 4KJ 6 4 *KJ 8 c (Dealer: South.

Elisha Perkins was a shrewd son of Connecticut, who felt that he did his patients a great deal of good as he passed bis hands over them in the course of examination. He ascribed this to electro-magnetic influences, and thought they would be more pow erful if he used metals. So he con structed a pair of tractors, one brass and the other steel, and ap plied them at different points on the body with apparent great suc cess in many diseases. March 23, 1796, the diary records Elisha Perkins, or Dr. Perkins, “was here this afternoon and oper ated on H. D. with his metallic instruments for the rheumatism; if my faith is necessary to the cure, 1 fear ’tis not compleat,” says the shrewd old lady. Elisha Perkins has gone his way and one no longer hears of the metal tractors, but the credulity and superstition that made him famous still exists, and people fall for Abram machines and a thou sand fancy treatments, THIMBLE THEATRE Starring POPEYE A Persuasive Juliet By E.
