LONDON, June 17 (Router),— Januz Kusocinski, famous Polish long-distance ranier, who won the 10,000 metres championship in the Olymple Gaten at Los Angeles In 1932, has been tortured to death by the Gestapo, according to nows reaching Polish' eireles here.
Kusocinski, like hundreds of other prominent citizens, was charged by the Germans of being connected with anti-German underground activilles. Although lacking proof, the Gestapo determined to extract Information from Kusocinski, and tortured him for several months before kiling him.
They Arst broke his legs which brought him many athletic victories in various parts of the world, and during the second investigation they broke his left arm and damaged his right cyc.
Later Kusocinski was thrown into a dark dungeon practically without food and water and was periodically subjected to fresh tortures.

DUO-BRIDGE
(British Made)
The Board for Two Players
Two Bridge players can use the DUO-BRIDGE Board anywhere and at any time; there is no need to go out to the Club these nights.
You will enjoy it in any situation, because it is the very best Bridge game for two people yet invented.
Let us admit at once that there are certain technical difficulties which cannot be overcome, We are well aware of them but they do not affect the 'character of the game In any way. Neither player sees more than his own hand while bidding and only his own hand and Dummy during play.
It is obvious that peculiar bidding, psychics and wild. jump-overbids are no use in such a game, indeed the hands- have been very carefully selected. ·
