en. If I) should hold both of them, h« ,s bound to win one trick. On the other •isnd If B held the king alqne, Y would

gain a trick by playing his act. Theplay is really a guess but Y should playthe ace of spades hoping to drop thelingleton king. If he doesn't, then heihould play for the clubs and try to **t

thirteenth club in Z's hand before U*es the ace of diamonds. If Y plansill play in this manner, he should onlyose one spade, one heart and one clubrick and, therefore, score game andlibber. As a matter of fact. 6 did holdhe king of spades alone. If Y failed to

play the ace of spades, B would havewon the trick and led a heart which Awould have won. The latter would nowlead a diamond. Y must now lose adiamond and club trick So would failhi make his contract by one trick. Thisis a very instructive hand and shouldbe carefully studied.

No score: Zdealt-and bid r>ne no-trump.What should A now bid with the fore-going hand? A should p>^ and open hisspade suit. It is almost a certainty thathe can defeat the nu-u unip bid. In thisway he can score penalties and also his100 aces. Any other bid with this handis unjustifiable.

Apasted, Y bid three no-trump and allpassed. A opened the sit of clubs. Howshould Z figure out the cards held byhis opponents, both from the biddingand the opening lead of the six of rlutw?How should he plan the play of thehand so as to score three odd, game andrubberfZ should figure B with st leastfive spades and five diamonds. If thatIs so A probably has Only two diamondsand one spade. This conclusion isstrengthened by the fact that he openedhis club suit in preference to either ffhis partner's suits. On the first club leadB fads to follow suit, discarding a dia-mond. Z should now be able to figureout B's probable holding: Spades —A, Q, 9 and two small; diamonds —~, J and three small and three hearts.! hi l i i t hftJ! thi* analysis is correct, he can ^

game by winning the first club trick inhis own hand with the seven of clubsand leading the king of clubs. A mustwin this trick, and it makes no differ-ence what suit he leads back, Z mustnuke game. Suppose he ieads diamonds.Z should win the trick with the ace inhis hand and lead the king of spades.B must win this trick and should thenlead hearts. Z should then win the trickand lead two more rounds of hearts,taking all of the hearts out of B's hand.On.the third round of hearts he shoulddiscard a spade from Y's hand. Heshould then ietd (he ten of spades whichB must win with the queen. B must nowlead either diamonds or spades, so thatin either event YZ will only lose onemore trick. Played in this way, YZshould only lose one club, two spadesand one diamond trick, thus scoringgame and rubber.

Ilnhert Danvers mined a white andstrained face to meet his daughter'skiss, then his eyes fell upon hla plate.

'"Whatever la the matter?" Hildapersisted. ''You know you have always said that the beat thing to dowhen something Is troubling you is toKet-It out of your system. Why notpractice what you preach, "daddy, forit can't be anything very dreadful?"

Robert Danvers, hbweter, did . notseem Inclined to speak. Instead, hesat stiff and tenseIn his chair fora long time, thenhe raised his headmill made a mo-tion to apeak, BuiHilda could seeJiat the effort

With a relieved look upon his faceRobert Danvers left the breakfasttable and went to his room. There.lie struggled with himself for a longtime. Why abould he tell Hilda, hereasoned; there w»s a chance thingswould come right, and even If theydid not, perhapH he could make goodthe loss within the year. He wasreally being kind to keep the knowledge of her loss from her. It wouldbe a shame to tell It, and ]uat at theNew Year, too. He would have tomake an effort to be cheerful.

Somehow the thought of the NewYear brought Robert Danvers to him-self. What n coward he was, tryingto soothe his conscience as he waadoing, starting out on the New Yearwith deceit and subterfuge for com-panions. He would tell Hilda, evenIf she despised him for what he haddone—even tiint would be better thanto feel that he was acting the partof a coward. The truth was best-even though Its telling should woundthem both I

Going downstairs again, he foundHilda gailng pensively out of the win-dow. This was unlike her, and heknew that she was troubled.

Timidly he approached the chair."Hilda," he Bald, going right Into t,heheart of the matter. "You rememberthat stock we talked about last week—the stock where I had you put themoney your mother left you? Well,dear, I'm afraid It Is all lost—thatevery cent of It Is gone—nnd I kndw1 am all to blame about It, for I ad-vised and counseled you to do It."

"Is that the tiling that is troublingyou, daddy?" There was a queer lightIn Hilda's eyes as she apoke.

Yea, dear," her father answered,ever since I heard about tt last nljhthave been almost crazy. To think I,

if all people, should advise you to dothis foolish thing. But 1 thought Itwas so safe, so sure."

'Then, daddy, ceune your -worryingut once," Hilda cried Joyously, "for 1

LAST YEAR'SRESOLUTION

Bj PATIENCE EDEN

HIS time last year," an-nounced a feeble voice, "Iwas born. I was • floe,

strong resolution. There wag none sorobuat as L 1 expected to grow . . .and grow . . . and grow Now lookat me!"

Some old Ideas standing aboutlaughed. Last Year's Resolution wasIndeed a pathetic spectacle. Thin,old and discouraged be stood amongthem, confessing his 12-monthg' ex-perience.

"That's always the way with theseBilly human beings," growled awrinkled Idea. "I was born threeyean ago In a professor1!! head, andthen he Just let me kick around withhardly a thought. Ideas can't thriveunless they have a diet of thought,you know I"

Last Year's Resolution shook hishead sadly. Here they were on theeve at • New Year, and most ofthem were so tottery they couldhardly stand. A woeful sight May-be they would fade away altogetherand never be heard of again. Oh,very, very pitiful It was. For evenIdeas enjoy their span of life, and asfor Resolutions, they yearn to becomethe backbone of human existence.

Then, out of the air came a call.They all pricked up thulr eare/

"That's for me I" shrieked* thewrinkled Idea. "It's my professor'svoice. He wants mel He needs,me!I must fly I" He was gone In an in-stant.

Those remaining looked about atone another In a startled fashion.

Then earoe another call. Clear Itwas, and It held a beseeching note.

"Cornel" It begged. "Come quickly 1This Is New Tear's Eve and I wantyou. This time I win support jou,and you must support me!"

Last Year's Resolution became elec-trified. "He means mel Be needs me!I must help him I" and away be flewJust as the clock struck twelve.

IN LINE WITH THE SPORTSMENEncouraged, perhaps, by Jack Dempsey'g noteworthy suc-

cess as a moving picture actor, a boxing promoter has offered"Red" Grange $1,000 to box ten round? in Tampa, Fla. Inrefusing the offer Grange remarked that he is a football player,not a prize-fighter. Still, it easily can be imagined thatGrange would make as good a prize-fighter as Dempsey doesan actor. If he turned out to be any worse the offer of athousand dollars for ten rounds is high, for "Red" probablywould not last ten rounds.

In prize-fighting, more than in any other professional formof entertainment, the good old public is called upon to takenumerous awful trimminjjB. Take the case of Carpentier, thefighter who once was a first-rate boxer but who for yearshas been slipping, until now he is but a shell of his formerself. He has been signed to come here from France for about with Jack Delaney. Despite his decrepitude, that isknown to everyone, the fans will pay their good money to seehim perform. Will some one not step up and save the dearold public from spending its money on this frost? Try anddo it; the public would mob the man who tried.

Coral Gables ia in boom territory but only 5,000 per-sons turned out to see "Red" Grange play football Christ-mas Day. Probably the only sport that would go big in Flor-ida at the present time would be something based on the ideaof running a shoestring into a million dollars in real estate.

With a prospect of such insignificant attendance and con-sequently meagre gate receipts, it might be wondered who isgoing to pay to send the 25 men of the New York Giantsfootball team South for their games. The joker in the deckis that spectators pay from $5.50 to $18.00 for a seat.

Public Ssrviee Railway Company pays its full share of taxea:

FIRST: A franchise Tax of five per cent, of its gross recdpta,

BECQNDi A Tax in lieu of the personal property tax, nniriotd upon groatreceipts at the average state tax rate,

THIRD: A Tax upon its real estate.

• FOURTH: Other state and Federal taxes.

' In the first ten months of 1925, these taxes totaled $1,863,517, while theamount of operating revenue was $17,523,1811

Taxes take in the average year some ten per cent, of operating revenue,which means that all the fares collected on approximately thirty-six days outof th« year go into the public treasury.

So that when on top of this vast sum, a charge for paving which is of novalue to those who use the cars is imposed,' the revenue left for the payment of

, operating expenses is seriously curtailed.

And when the company is* operating on so low a base fare as Five Cents,not only does the charge for paving work a hardship on the company, but italso interferes with its ability to render adequate service.

It is because the company finds it impossible under present conditions, tobring the cost of service within the limits set by the revenue received, that It isasking public cooperation in securing:

Further Coordination of Car and Bus Service,• Better Traffic Regulation.

% t Relief from Paving Taxes. '

Such measures, if adopted, will reduce expenses and help to save thti Cent Fare. -4 V • \ ,:; .

Two days of army lift satisfiedJoe Manpmaro, 17, of Port Readingthat the racket was not all the re-cruiting1, officer cracked it up to be.He returned to his parents yester-day and probably will not have to goback if h« can substantiate the de-tails of a fantastic tale of how hewas seduced into Uncle Sam's ser-vice by what must have been, fromJoe's description, a hard-hearted andwicked sergeant, Joe's family doesnot want him to return and is fear-fully awaiting the arrival of a sqtiadof military police to carry Joe backto Governor's Island. In the mean-while the police, to whom Joe'sparents related his story yesterday,Bmilingly Admit that they suspectthat Joe'a story of his troubles wascooked up by the boy for the purposeof securing immunity from the pun-ishment that justly irat« parents areprone to hand out to runaway sons.

According to Joe, who left homeChristmas night, he was taken toBrooklyn by a "recruiting officer"whom he met in Woodbridjfe. Thepair wont to a boarding house inHouston street and from that timeon, for several days, the army friendshowed Joe the best time he has everhad in his seventeen years of ex-perience. Movies, eats, theatres andmore eats comprised a round of ac-tivities that struck JOP as being de-lightful. "You like this life, ehVasked the army friend. "Well, thisis what army life ia like; nothing todo but have & good time and spendmoney."

The bait was too tempting .ifil

him, Joe etjilajns, and he flnalfrsuccumbed W jk suggestion that Jw"sign \xp." A « ' l a s advised by th»recruiting ofltterjto nay that he camefrom Florida, ridt Woodbridge, andby some lnridteQa mcflns the mistressof the boarding hoi iso was inducedto pose as his Manlinn. Everythingbeing thus In wder. Joe claims, hitfriends took nlm nround and hadhim sworn in. Thin hi; was taken ta<Governor's Island, where they jab-bed a needle' iff W arm, took hisfingerprints, and ind one of UncleSam's custom tailors measure him upfor a snappy outfit. It seems too badthat the tailors arji i;oing to all th»trouble to make jo^ a uniform fornow he doesn't want it.

Joe's parents reported the boy'sdisappearance to the police last Sat-urday. When J©e< returned yester-day they came right around to ex-plain there was no n<>cd for furthersearch. It was. at thi^ time that thefamily unfolded Oic tale that Joehad brought Wlth»t\in. Joe was notpresent, perhaps because he feh theneed of resting up alter two stren-uous days in tha 'service,

The Manganaros were advised bythe police that the department cando nothing to secure Joe's releasefrom the armr—if he really is inthe army.,

Mrs., Manganaro says that Joespoke of joining the army two weeksago. Other boys hail told him, shesaid, that the army life provides aneasy existence and srood ' pay. Shediscouraged the sumostion that hejwn. . ,
