After winning the opening diamond lead, two rounds of trumps should be taken.

Now the ace of clubs would be led, after which a club would be ruffed in the closed hand. A heart would next be played to dummy's ace, and another club could be trumped by-South. The king of diamond voud then be cashed, East howing out; after which de clarer's remaining diamond would be ruffed on the board. Now declarer must take time out to count. When East showed out on declarer's play of the king of diamonds, it marked West with even diamonds originally.

He also followed with three rounds of clubs and two rounds of spades. And when declarer led a heart to North's ace. West had played a small heart. Therefore, all of West's cards had been accounted for two spades, one heart, three clubs and seven diamonds. Consequently East had held four hearts at the outset, and at this stage, he was still in possession of three hearts the jack, ten and six spot.

Nothing could stop South picking up these three hearts, remembering that if declarer has to get back to dummy he can get there via the board's last trump. Your Birthdays SUNDAY.

After a column or so of this magisterial advice, the veterinary began to feel pretty cocky.

He brushed aside the health officer, if any, and said the last human fatality from rabies was about two years ago when a young man died after a rabid dog bit him. The veterinary explained that the young man died becaufe he did not think it was necessary for him to take anti-rabies treatment. If I wer? scratched or bitten by an animal that physician veterinary, health officer ui laboratory pathologist believed to be rabid, Id have no anti rabies 'vaccine, virus or so- called Pasteur treatment. The proper ay to treat any such wound, I believe, no mat ter whether the human being animal or bird inflicting the wound has rabies or not, is im mediate surgical disinfection of the wound and an immediate injection of tetanus antitoxin or toxoid, and a second injection five to seven days later.
