BARCLAY ON BRIDGE

“The Authority on Authorities’*
THE KEY TO THE HAND
HAVING THREE SUITS in good
shape, but the remaining one whol
ly unprotected, is no situation ca’C,
ing for a No trump contract. That ib
one reason why you try to tell your
partner generally about each addi
tional suit you have in good shape.
Hearing from you about a particu
lar suit may be the entire key to the
hand, as he knows the others are
well guarded against assault by the
enemy.

(Dealer: East. Neither side vul
nerable.)
South began the bidding of this
deal with 1-Spade... West passed,
North bid 2-Diamonds, East 3-Clubs,
South 3-Diamonds and West passed.
North now was in a decisive situa
tion. He saw a perfect diamond fit,
but hardly any likelihood that the
side could take enough tricks to
make five-odd for a minor game. He
felt that the side had about “enough
stuff” for a 3-No trump try, but
that it was not safely placed unless
South could stop the clubs. Lacking
any club stoppers himself, he could
not dare try ano trump bid at this
stage.
Modicum of Relief
Possible for Deaf
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.
THE FIRST hearing aid man
used was the palm of his own hand.
“Y cupping his external ear he
focused and thereby intensified
sound waves on the ear drum. Man
alone of all the animals uses arti
ficial means to increase hearing. To
this day the hand is the most uni
versal hearing aid.
Mechanical aids to hearing of al
most every description and kind—
tubes and trumpets, and fans, and
cane . s > etc. —are all evidence of the
continuous search of the deaf per
son for aid and comfort.
The use of the electric hearing
® lds is of somewhat recent develop
although it is probable that
"' telephone developed from Alex
ander Graham Bell’s attempt to
onstruct an electric hearing aid for
mother.

Upon reflection, he realized that
South might have the clubs in shape,
but no protection in hearts, especial
y ly since he had the two top honors
' there himself. He thereupon bid 3-
Hearts, just music to the ears of his
partner, who then bid 3-No trump
because of his club stopper, and
made it easily.
The 3-Heart bid with only three
cards was not as dangerous as it
might sound. South would be sure
to know the suit wasn’t over four
cards long, since North bid his dia
monds first. Therefore if South
raised the hearts, he would have at
least four, so North would take a
chance on the suit breaking. North’s
acumen produced a game not in
sight by any other sound tactics.

hearing and also whether any hear
ing aid should be recommended. A
certain level of deafness (techni
cally a loss in excess of 25 decibels)
should call for a hearing aid.
The common cause of chronic
deafness is so-called catarrhal ear
disease. In this form the deafness
is chronic and progressive and ac
companied by head noises. It is
probably due to a progressive hard
ening of the bones and tissues of the
middle ear.
Remarkable Work
Some” of the most remarkable
work I have seen has been done on
patients of this kind who had an
artificial hole made from the outside
of the temporal bone into the mid
dle ear. This allows the current of
air to move in and out and there is
opportunity for breaking of adhe
sions and loosening the tissues
which have become hardened.
Today the deaf patient can get
attention and a certain modicum of
relief. It is true that the situation
is often discouraging and little or
no improvement occurs even in the
best of circumstances. But at least
the deaf patient is in a better posi
tion than he was 25 years ago when
not only nothing was known but
very little interest was displayed in
his plight.
