"ONE CLUB" BIDDERS

A great many players like to open the‘ bidding with one club, artificially, whenever they lack a good five-curd suit and also lack the requirements for a notrump opening. This is not so bad, in lt- self. but the difficulty ls that these same players are" the first tabe- come panicky when their part- ners put. them in high club con- tracts! Today's deal is not as ex-

S0 tonight shc was waiting. Only God and she and Harry knew how important was this Ncvv Year's Eve. Bill Collins had asked her out for the evening but sic said_ no, she wasn't feeling uci and would stay home. Thcu he asked If he might drop around to her apartment and she begged off.

Then the telephone jziiigled and Laurette leaped to answer.

"San Francisco calling Miss Windsor," said the operator. Then a long silence. while Laurette lield her breath. Hadlft Bill thought he'd seen Harry in San Francisco? Finally the operator came back. “I'm sorry. Miss Windsor, but our lines have apparently gone out somewhere. I'll have to call you back."

Then Laurette had an idea. "Op- erator," she asked, "vcas that cal! addressed just to Miss Windsor? Wasn't there a first name?"

This was probably n better score than East-West could have col- “fcwd ‘by dotiblinr: six notrump. since horth probably would have run to seven clubs, which would have gone down only one.

New Jersey soil chemist. recently claimed that. longer life was probable through the use of commercial plant food. He attributed the increase in de- gcnera-tivc diseases of the hcurt- brain andlridneys to the ,fact there were more old people living tcdiay than ever before. .

in 1860. before farmers began using commercial fertilizers, life expectancy at birth in the United States was given at 40 years, a similar figure held true for Can- ads.

"By 1900, when fertilizers were heing used at the rate of over 2,- 000,000 tons annually. our life ex- pectancy had increased to 49 1-2 years." Dr,. Bear asserted. “By 1940, with fertilizer consumption exceeding 3,000,000 tons, life ex- pectancy rose to 63 rears. when fertilizer tonnage reached 12.000,- OCO iii i944 56 1-2 _\‘l-‘-<'ll‘S."
