As a test of playing ability, this
hand was set -:p in a duplicate
board and trir.at three tables,
the bidding b-:I g reported as the
atrocious i:! ling given and West
being require.: to load his diamond
K and switch to a spade to pre
vent run's. East winning with the
A and returning another spade.
From there trie players were on
their own.
At one table, dummy's Q won
the secon i spade and declarer
took in dummy's third spade, then
finessed the club Q. When West
won this his side cashed three
more diamond tricks, setting the
declarer two.
With somewhat better players
at the second table, declarer won
the second spade in the dummy
and then left a spade there as he
finessed the club Q to West. Here
West led a thirc trump, which
dummy won. Clubs then furnished
discards for South's diamonds. A
diamond lead, knocking out the
dummy's last trump on a ruff,
could have altered the play, but
not set the contract.
Much more advanced players at
the third table got a most inter
esting result. After dummy won
the second trump and sent the
club Q through. West refused to
win it. Declarer fhen won the
club A. re-entered dummy with
the heart A. led the club J to the
K. discarding the diamond 5, then
had to ruff the diamond returned
by West, using up the dummy's
last trump. The club 10 was ruffed
by the spade S, the. spade K
dropped the missing ones and the
heart K and Q made nine tricks,
but declarer then had to lose the
setting trick in diamonds.

Clendening Calls It Plant Enemy No. 1
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.
w A xsL-utsnn or weens wiu
cause a skin eruption on contact
and this ;ilsn is true of at least
one dome?ticatod [ hint—the prim
rose. The most frequent and, of
course, the arch-enemy, is the
family of Rhus—poison ivy, poi
son oak and poison sumac.
Not everyone is susceptible to
these eruptions. And apparently
all those who are sensitive acquire
their sensitiveness by a single
contact which renders them liable
to severe eruption later. Baffin
Bay Eskimos do not react when
Dr. Clendoring wiil answer
questions of general interest
only, and then only through
bis column
given patch tests to poison ivy,
which does not grow north of the
St. Lawrence River. Newborn in
| fants are not sensitive to poison
1 ivy. But 50 per cent of young
adults in the vicinity of Dallas,
■where the plant grows abundant
ly, react positively.
Primrose dermatitis is said to
occur in 5 per cent of adults. But
250 medical students with no his
tory of exposure showed negative
patch tests, while H per cent of
Dallas florists who handle the
plant reacted positively.
The Rhus family prepares its
poison in the form of an oily,
sticky rosin or sap that runs
through channels in the stems and
the leaves. Neither the pollen,
the bark, the plant hairs, nor the
ftqrface of the branches or unin
jured leaves cause poisoning when
(touched.
Beware Breaking
But if a stem is broken or a leaf
torn or a flower or berry broken
off, a milky juice comes out in
smali drops and this is the poison
ous sap that does the damage. A
set of small tubelike canals runs
up the stems, out the stalks of the
leaf, breaking up ia the veins of
the leaf and in the flowers and ber
ries. Each canal i* surrounded by
glandular cells vh.ch secrete the
poisonous sap.
Every spring as the oid stalks
come to life, new canals> • 'id poi
son glands are formed, a.. I the
new young plants have very deli
gate leaves, easily broken by those
wno arc picking wnanowers. ine
plants are dangerous all through
the year, even in the winter when
the li^ht gray. smooth, brittle
stemmed plants growing along
fences may be misjudged: but the
easily broken stems will exude the
irritating sap just the same.
Recognition is indeed the key
to the whole question of poison ivy
prevention. "Leaflets three, let it
be." Beware of reddish leaved
plants before autumn has come.
Injection Aid
Poison ivy grows in rich damp
soil, shrub-like or climbing up
trees, over rocks, or walls, or
fenecs. It is found all over the
United States except on the Pacific
Coast where its cousin, the poison
oak, supplants it. Most vicious of
all is the poison sumac which
grows almost entirely in bogs.
Prevention and treatment of
poison ivy is now done quite suc
cessfully with poison ivy extract.
To prevent, it is given in two hy
podermic injections at two week
intervals. For treating, one in
jection gives marked relief in 24
I to 48 hours.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
D. E. T.—"(1) Will removing
moles cause cancer? (2) Are
pickles good substitutes for food
when you are hungry between
meals? (3) Docs drinking water
with your meals cause you to fat
' ten?"
Answer—(1) The removal of
moles is really valuable in pre
venting cancer. Such removal will
not cause cancer. (2) Yes, pickles
allay hunger to a certain extent
but paradoxically do not spoil the
next meal. They are not fatten
ing. (3) No, water does not stay
in the stomach with the food but
goes right out into the intestines.
It is absorbed ahead of the food
and does not cause increased ab
I sorption.
