North, with an ace and a king, is justified in going to two no trunip. But it takes an odd squeeze play to make the contract. However, leave it to the boya at Yale Univeralty to find a way to make their contract. It was there that this hand, sent to me by Fred Rodell, was played.

The Play

of

Against the three no trump con- tract, West opmed the ten hearts and East went up with the king. Personally, I believe that East should have played low.

South won the trick with the ace and cashed the king and queen of spades, learning to his sorrow that the spade suit was not going to break, when East let Ke a diamond.

The jack of clubs was played and East won the trick with the queen. A heart was returned by East, which South, declarer, won with the queen.

If he were to cash his two clube, this would set up a club trick for East; but the declarer decided that 'East was out of hearts, BD.-8. club was led. West discarded his jack of diamonds and the trick was won in dummy with the nine. Another club was eashed, de- West was squeezed. If he let go clarer Jetting go spade, and

a spade, the declarer's two spades would be good, so the only thing he could do was to release one of his good hearts, and now all the declarer had to do was to lend a diamond from dummy and play the queen from his own band.

West won the trick with the ace, cushied his nine of hearts, and was forced to lead a spade to dummy's ace, Declarer won the last trick with the king of dia- monds.

FRECKLES AND HIS FRIENDS

THERE IS NOTHING.

“JUST AS GOOD AS"

ENO'S “FRUIT SALT"

Think about ENO's "Fruit Salt" for moment. Ask yourself why it is accepted by the people of every nation as the finest, safest and most invigorating aid to good health. Perhaps you agree that ENO is everything that is claimed for it. But do you know this from your own personal ex- perience? Have you actually put ENO to the test? Have you proved that it really does make you fitter and healthier, more energetic and clear-headed? Remember you cannot judge ENO by your experiments with other salines.

Buy a bottle of "Fruit Salt” to-day and you will quickly see why there is no substitute

for ENO and why, for your health's sake, you must always resolutely refuse sub- stitutes.'
