THE HONGKONG
CONTRACT BRIDGE
By W. E. McKenney.
Solution to Previous Contract Problem
Don't lend a card blindly, simply because your partner has bid that nult. If your partner makes an opening and it develops into a good attack on the declarer, don't switch.
To-day we find Enst anxious to obtain a ruff. He has two loning hearts that can be picked up by the declarer; so, because his part- ner has bid spades, he wishes to try to get a ruff in. That permits the declarer to noke his contract. West's bld of one spade over one heart Is, I believe very conserva-
of ile should double. tive. courge, North and South will arrive at four hearts, and East and West could not make more than three diamonds,
The Play
The opening lead by West is the king of diamonds, which declarer ruff with the deuce of hearts. He then leads a small heart, win- ning in dummy with the ace and re- turning the nine of hearts. Ensi goes right in with the king.
flis partner has bid spades--it looks as though, if he were to lend a spade, his partner might win with the ace and he could then get ruff in with his seven of hearts. But if he had kept track of the

trump he would know that South was down to but two trump.
If East returns a spade, South will win with the aee, cash his queen and jack of hearts, picking up the outstanding trump, and will lose only two spade tricks. With the king of hearts, which he has already lost, this gives him four odd.
If East, instead of leading a apade, were-to-return-a diamond. South would be forced to ruff with the jack of hearts. Now South will lead clubs, but the third club will be ruffed by East with the seven of hearts.
East will then lead another din- mond, which South will be forced to ruff with the queen of hearts. West will get out of the way with the ace of diamonds, and now the only other trick the declarer can win is the nee of spatles, because when he leads a club, East will ruff, cash three good diamonds and, instead of making his con. tract, the declarer will be down [three tricks.
Today's Contract Problem Can you make six spasen for South With this hond? West opens the king of clubs.

But in less than a hundred and fifty years the people realised that Parliament, through whose support the Prime Minister and Cabinet ruled by the authority of the Crown, was in no way representa- tive, and insisted on reforms so that their right of a voice in the government of the country should be real and valid. The Reform Bill was passed, and with it began. the modern period of Parliament's history in which we are living to dny.
It is an enthralling story, this story of Parliament and the people, and it can be told only through broad impressions of great move- ments and happenings. Two grent pointers must necessarily stand out our destiny as a nation and the
