HOME PROGRESS
The new hospital building of the Young Wo Nursing Home will be formally opened this afternoon at 4.30 by Mra. Kotewall, the wife of the Ion. Mr. R. H. Kolowall. Tho Directors of the Young Wo Institu-
tlon and its chairman, Dr. LJ Shu- fan, have issued Invitations to a number of distinguished residents for the ceremony,
The new building, which has been erected as an extension of the existing hospital, has been planned and placed on the site with a view to forming the nucleus of the eventual rebuilding of the entiro hospital-the greatest attention has, at the same time, bean given to considerations of light and air, prevailing breeze, through ventila- tion, and the general well being of all, both patients, staffs, and doctors, using the building, which is generally five storeyed. kur- mounted, by a flat roof laid out as an attractive roof garden.

The lowest storey is entirely devoted to administrative services, and contains, in addition to three entrances, leading respectively to the lift, the main stair, and the ser- vice stair, etc. the following accom- modation:
Waiting room for patients and friends, doctor's private office, doctor's consulting room, cloak room for visiting doctors, adjoining lift; general office; a large lecture room for nursing staff, also to be used for religious services; dle- pengury, with survice room in rear, adjoining the service stair; matrons office, laboratory, two bedrooms, toilet, and store for the dispensary staff.

As North knows that his partner will not open without two and one-half quick tricks, he can easily read that South must hold the king and queen of diamonds and the are of clubs. The ques- tion is whether he holds the king of clubs or the queen and feck of

The bidding of five clubs by South practically assures North that South originally held four, diamonds which must have been headed by at least king, queen in order to be biddable, and five clubs. Undoubtedly the club ouil is headed by ace, king in order to establish the two and one-half quick tricks for an original bid. North can ensily nee 18 tricks and, immediately bids seven no trump.
