The Play.
West can read that his partner's side strength must be in clubs, therefore he leads through dummy's strength by playing. the jack of clubs, but the declarer refuses to take the finesse, seeing the possi- bility of being able to throw East in the lead later on. Therefore, the ace of clubs is played from dummy, East plays the four and declarer the five of clubs.

CRESSONITE TILES.
NEW FORM OF RESILIENT
RUBBER FLOORING
With the recent opening of the St. Teresa's Church in Kowloon, public interest has no doubt been aroused by a new type of flooring used therein around the altar, that of Cressonité Rubber Tiles.
This new type of rubber flooring differs from the ordinary rubber flooring generally used in that it consists of rigid cementitious tiles with a very resilient rubber sur- face Inseparably bonded together by a patent process, and the unity of the rubber to the base in such as to be permanently proof against creep- ing, bulging, lifting or edgo-curling.
This is the first flooring of its kind to be laid in this Colony, and with the introduction of Cressonite rubber tiles n new fleld is opened for the architect, contractor and builder, as it brings rubber floor- ing not only into easier construc tural and commercial application for public buildings, but also with the possibility of its more popular domestic adoption.
Domestic Use Also, Cressonite rubber tiles are not only suitable as an ideal flooring but are also adaptable for panelling of walls. cellings, partitions, screens and doors. As a covering for stairs also Cressonite atair treads and risers have no equal and are indispensable in public build- ings, such na theatres, hotels, offices etc, where allence is one of the predominating essentials.
It will be readily conceded that rubber is an eminently desirable floor covering material because it is noiseless, resilient, shock-absorbing, hygienic and dampproof, and Cressonite rubber tiles offer all these advantages and can be highly recommended for any type of buildinga.
Cressonite rubber tiles are al- ready woll known in Singapore throughout the F. M. S. and Penang, as well as in a few other places in the East, and there is no doubt that for those who are seek- ing a new type of good flooring they will prove extremely popular.
Cremenite rubber tiles are mamat- factured in Singapore by the Singa
Works Ltd. and handled locally by the firm of Shewan, Tomes and Company.
