Veterans9 Bureau Government term insurance must be converted into some permanent policy of Government life insurance by March 4. 1936. Before conversion can be effected it is essential that Government term insurance be in good standing. If It is lapsed, due to non-payment of premiums, a 'reinstatement of term insurance must be completed. An application for the conversion of Government life insurance is then executed and the permanent policy takes the place of the war-time insurance.

The Government offers six permanent policies: First Ordinary life, which is the cheapest of the converted policies. The premiums on thi3 policy are due during the life time of the insured or until such time as the insured becomes totally and permanently disabled. Second 30-payment life on which the premiums are payable for 30 years, the premiums then cease but the policy holder is insured for the rest of his life. Third 20-payment life, in which the premiums are due for 20 years, when the premiums are no longer due but the policy holder will be insured for the remainder of his life. Fourth 20-year endowment, on which the premiums are payable for 20 years, when the policy matures and the policy holder is no longer insured.

Fifth-30-payment endowment, on which the premiums are payable for 30 years, when the policy matures and the insured receives the face value of his policy. Sixth Endowment at the age of 62 years, on which premiums are payable untirthe insured reaches the age of 62 years, when the policy matures and the policy holder receives the face value of his policy. After an endowment policy matures and the policy holder receives the face value of his policy, he is no longer insured. Organized Reserves.

Trick. 1 3 4 ft 6 7 8 9 11 12 13 After winning the first trick the declarer naturally decided to play for the club suit by finessing twice, hoping to find one of the honors in the north hand.

In case this hope was not realized, however, and south held both king and queen of clubs, a re-entry card in dummy would be necessary, as it was evident the ace of hearts would not remain for very long. The declarer, therefore, created a reentry in dummy by taking a losing finesse in the diamond suit and thereby lost the game. The game was not lost on account of the diamond finesse 'But on account of the time that the diamond finesse was taken. The declarer should have won the second trick with the king of diamonds. nd allowed the jack of clubs to run around to the queen.

Then, after winning the dummy with the act of hearts, taking the finesse in diamonds, it would not have mattered what card north led. It was the sequence of the plays which counted, as it was of the utmost importance that the second lead of hearts should come from south rather than the third. In other words, a trick in clubs must be lost to the south hand while the ace of hearts still remained in dummy. That would have prevented south from securing a lead through the baTIy de- Horsemanship Is an Art Asserts Jack Holt JACK HOLT. "Horsemanship, as an art.

The obvious play for the declarer after trumping the ace of clubs was to take two rounds of trumps leaving the lead in dummy; then make two clubs on which two spades would be discarded, and try for the diamond suit. That line of play appears sound at first glance for the reason that east could trump the third round of diamonds. Had the declarer attempted such a scheme- north would have thwarted it by leading a trump after the first round of diamonds, and north and south would eventually have secured four tricks and saved the game. Instead of this, west planned to make the club suit by putting dummy in, trumping a small club and again putting dummy in with a small trump. It was necessary to use a high trump at trick one and the declarer, had sufficient foresight for the emergency North perceived the declarer's intention but was unable to prevent the seven of hearts becomine a re-entry in the dummy.

The declarer finally secured 11 tricks in spite of a most unfavorable distribution of cards. "Paid in Advance" At Cameo Tomorrow DOROTHY PHILLIPS.
