Now all East had to exerelse a litle care and judgment. The entire course of play had re- vealed that declnrer's original dis- tribution had been five clubs, four. diamonds, two hearts, and two spades. Hence, East carefully laid down the spade jack, to smother declarer's possible ten-spot. Dummy's low spade became hostage to the defenders and rounded out a penal- of 000 points.

He had no right to expect a good trump break, considering East's prompt double, hence should have played to ruff one spade and one heart and to sur- render, in all, only one spade, two hearts, two diamonds, and two clubs. A 500 point penalty would have been cheap.

Britain's Health Mystery

The United States is send. ing to Britain a committee of American medical men to try and find out why the people have come through the win- ter's blitz with better health than in the years of peace.

Medical men generally are completely baffled by the nation's fitness. They feared that, after nights of crowding in air raid shelters and ex- posure to all weathers on

A.R.P. and fire-watching, epidemics would sweep Britain like a prairie fire.

In fact, there have been fewer cases of scarlet fever. and diphtheria, pneumonia typhoid fever, and only half the number of deaths from in- fluenza. Whooping cough and meningitis have alone been rather more provalent than usual.

Britain's own doctors offer various explanations of the mystery among them the dis- persal of densely populated areas, the improved system of health supervision, the spread of education in preventive measures, fewer people at "the pictures" and in other public places.

All, however, are agreed that the busy, hazardous_life_ led by 45,000,000 people leaves them neither the time nor the inclination to brood over minor ailments. The war has taken them "out of themselves."
