Good Advice

BY OSWALD JACOBY

IN most cary hands declarer's best policy is to draw trumps as quickly as possible. In most dificult trump contracts, do clarer cannot afford to go full speed ahead with the trumps. Unfortunately for the declarer in the hand shown today nobody blow a trumpet to tell him that this particular hand was difficult and that trumps should there

East won the first trick with the dice of clubs, cashed the aco of hearts in order to get out of the way, and then returned the six of clubs, South won the club return with the king, and led the queen of hearts next order to draw trumps.

When South was allowed to hold the queen of hearts should have abandoned trumps temporarily. The best play is to lead 1 diamond towards dummy's king at once. If West plays low, dummy wins at once with the king of diamonds and now a trump can be returned.

West must win and return a spade, but now it is easy to put up the king of spades from the dummy and return a diamond.

If East wins and returns spade, West will ruff away de- clarer's spade loser. Any other defence merely permits declarer to draw the last trump, cash his club, and then lead à spade to dummy'a ace.

One of the top reasons for these deaths, as pointed out by Pathologist Dr Edith Potter, is asphyxin from lack of oxygen,

As long as the baby is growing In his mother's womb, he has no difficulty because the mother supplies all his oxygen require- ments. Upon birth, however, the baby has to take care of his lown oxygen needs by breathing.

Lack of oxygen is responsible for sixty percent of the deaths during the first hours of life, it Is believed.

Sometimes the placenta, a temporary organ Linking the baby to the mother's womb, be- cures detached before the baby Is born, This shuts off the

oxygen supply to the baby.
