In the following hand, the de clarer conceded a diamond trick unnecessarily to the opponents

but they were obliged to pay dear. ly for it in the end.

West was warned by the orig- inal no trump, which he knew to be strong, and therefore passed. North hid two no trunip, avoiding a bid of two diamonds, for that would indicate definité weakness and would show no desire to play for game.

South closed the bid- ding with three no trump,

However, if that player were aver in, he would surely lead a spade through South's king, and the contract would be defenteil.

The declarer's first object must be to establish the club suit, and if East

the king should hold (twice guarded, two flnesses would be necessary. Accordingly the jack of diamonds was led and overtaken by the queen in data- my.

A small club was returned and the finesse taken. This could be done with safety, for even though West held the king of clubs, a spade lend from that side could do little damage.

When the finess held, South led the king of diamonds, again

ELECTION EVE

ALL AMERICA AWAITS RESULTS

New York, Nov. 8. All America will stay up until dawa to-morrow to await the re- Ault of the elections. The usual 3 a.m. curfew will not be rung in dance halls and cabarets, as the hour has been extended to 5 a.m.

A survey of the foreign! language periodicals throughout the United States reveals that the sympathies of the major foreign elements are equally divided but of the smaller communities, the Czecho-Slave favour Roosevelt. and the Swedes, Norwegiana and Pinus are followers of Mr. Hoover. An Immediate audience of miters and shepherds heard Mr. Hoover's anal broadcast appeal from Elko, Nevada, following the brondenat from Mr. Calvin Coolidge, former President, who declared that if five Americans were selected to devise remedies for the present conditions, Mr. Hoover would head the list, and that 10 International figures were chosen for the same reason, Mr. Hoover would be among them.

Mr. Roosevelt made his election- of eve speech nt the Knights Columbus Hall, New York, where he has spoken on election eve for many years. He promised the alcotors tatt if successful he to would with humility seek mend the fabric of our common life,"

When the poils opened this morn- ing, good election weather way re- ported in most districts, conditions being cloudy in the east and with sunshine in a great part of the west, there was nothing to prevent the farmera from going to the polla.

WILLING TO WELCOME PARTY CO-OPERATION

London, Nov. 8. The Von Papen Government is "perfectly satisfied" with the out- come of the elections and announces that there is no need for deviation from its present polley, according to a Berlin message.

It is ready to welcome with open arms any party who will co-operate with it.

Probably the new Reichstag will be summoned on December 6. The Intervening time will be spent in negotiations between the various partien.

The next few weeks are likely to be quiet, as a political truce has been called. All political meetings and demonstrations have been pro- hibited. Our Own Correspondent.
