By OSWALD JACOBY HERE is a certain spot on the
celling that tume bridge players look at when they don't know what to do. Some playera just look up at the ceiling with
vacant sture, and others find it useful to scratch their heads or rub their chins at the same time. These are very line things to know. to be sure, hat 11's even better to know the right way to play a hand Today's hand shows the difference.
West opened the ten of diamonds, East covered with the Jack, and South won in his hand with the king. One glance showed deplorer that he needed thren club tricks to make his contrael. ainee he could make exactly iwn tricks in each of the
other sulls,
South therefore led, a club in dummy's ace and returned a low club from the dummy. East quite properly played his club, and Soust had to guess whether to play the queen of the eight of clubs from his hand.
South thought about it for a second er two and then looked up at the cetting. This didn't help him for he came out of his huddle by finessing the right of clubs from his hand.

Alleged Recipe For Long Life
SINGAPORE, ---- A recipe for long life, which is being tried extensively in Malay villages in Kedah, North Malaya, has aroused great Interest in Singapore.
It consists of 40 doses of A common olimber, known locally 05 "pachavall" (meaning "may you live") and identified by authori ties as the tinospora tuber- culata.
Dosage is one inch of the stan a day, two inches the next, and so on for 40 days increasing by an inch a day. Burkill's dictionary of Malayon Economic Products says the stem has medicinal properties. It was used dur- ing the Japanese occupation as a substitute for quinine.
