START BY UNBLOCKING
WHEN YOU HOLD two touch
ing honors of your partner’s suit,
your best lead against a No trump
game is of course the top one. But
if you have a trebleton containing
two non-touching honors, the small
card is recommended in most of the
out-of-date books. Experi
ence has proved convincingly to
some the unsoundness of this, as it
frequently results in blocking the
suit. Your best lead in such a case
is the middle card of the trebleton,
to unblock later on, holding your
highest card to kill off a stopper and
your lowest as an entry to your
partner’s hand.

After two passes, North opened
the bidding on this deal with 1-
Spade. East made a thinnish
double, West responding with two
clubs. East then bid 2-Diamonds,
West 3-Clubs and East 3-No trump,

As per "the book,” South led his

Many Functions of
Body Unexplained
To What Part of Us Does Sleep Belong? It Remains a
Great Mystery
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.
THE physiologist, in his study of
the functions of the body, likes to
analyze. And, in this sense, all of us
are bom physiologists. We instinc
tively, when we think about our
functions, begin to analyze. What
happens to our food? Well, to learn
that we have to separate the diges
tive system from the rest of the body
and study it. What happens to the
air we breathe? To know that we
must take the respiratory system
apart and study that. And so on.
When he gets through, the physi
ologist puts his knowledge of all
these systems back together and per
haps thinks he has a man—that he
has the secret of life. But he hasn’t,
any more than that if you were to
take four legs and a torso, a tail and
a bead, and put them together, you
tvould have a dog.
To Entire Body
There are many functions that be
long to the entire body. They are so
much a part of all parts of us that
we are inclined to forget them. Yet,
they are recurrently and insistently
present all the time. In the past few
months in this column we have been
following the physiologist’s foot
steps and analyzing our different
functions; now we will take up some
°f these functions of the body—as a
whole.
Dr. Clendening will answer
Questions of general interest
only, and then only through
his column.
One of them is sleep. To what
part of you does sleep belong? To
the brain? Yes, but not exclusively.
In sleep your eyes cease to see—to
function. And very much your ears.
' our mouth is dry in the morning,
the secretion of the membrane
ceases to function also. There is no
digestion going on during sleep. Tb©

and the declarer immediately led
a club to North’s A. A spade return
was won by the J. South also cashed
; the A and then, straining to put his
partner in the lead, offered the
heart 6. When the dummy’s Q won
this, declarer ran five clubs, a dia
| mond and another heart, making
game.
> Had South led his spade J, de
; clarer’s goose would have been
, cooked. If East held up, the suit
, would have been established before
North’s club A was gone. If East
1 took the first trick, then South’s
I ace would have accounted for the
. second spade round and the 6 would
have furnished an exit to North’s Q.
Os course, even after the original
lead of the spade 6, South could
have set the contract by returning
diamonds instead of hearts, but the
correct original lead would not have
necessitated his figuring that out.

What is the correct bidding of
this deal?
heart and lungs keep up but at a
slower pace. The muscles relax. Yes,
sleep belongs to the whole body.
Sleep, like many other things in
life, is not valued until we lose it.
The young don’t know how to value
sleep. Nature confers the largesse
of sleep on them with the same over
flowing generosity that she confers
her other favors on them. In genera)
we tend to need less sleep as agt
advances. The man of 60 gets a gocu
night’s rest on five or six hours
where at 30 he required eight or
nine.
Contempt for Sleep
The testimony of elderly mer,
shows their contempt for sleep. Pro
fessor William Lyon Phelps, of Yale,
says that only morons do not suffei
from insomnia. Professor George
Hubert Palmer, of Harvard, sair'
that he had not had a good nights
sleep since he was adult. But he
learned that if he relaxed he restec
during the night, and started th«
next day as fresh as anybody.
While physiologists do not knov
exactly what causes sleep, they knov
that it is an absolutely necessarj
function of the human body; indeed
of all animals. Death occurs in ani
mals who have been purposefull:
kept awake —in from 14 to 21 day?
Even plants show periods of inat
tivity.
So we are inclined to view wit
skepticism the reports of insomniac 1
that, “I haven’t had a wink of slee .
for two months.” They do sleep, an<
they get more sleep than they thinl
