"MA SAYS IN A COUPLE MORE WEEKS WE CAN f»nm
OUR HEAVY UNDIES.”
F)EEP in the heart of the Honduran
jungles of Central America na
ture has created a fountain of blood
which gushes with sticky, reddish liq
uid every time it rains.
Awe-inspired natives believe a huge
dragon lies bleeding far back in a cave
from which a winding, red river
stretches for miles.
No white man ever was known to
l have witnessed the strange sight until
1 word of the "dragon's blood" river
i got to Paul Behm, University of Wis
I consin student.
Near the tiny village of La Virtud
! the river was found in 1934. Chemical
| analysis, however, proved it to be
1 composed of water saturated with de
cayed animal and vegetable matter,
which held in colloidal suspension
certain reddish minerals.
Accidents on Relief.
Strange as it seems, whenever the
U. S. Navy hospital ship Relief is
stationed in port at San Pedro, Calif.,
most cases of injuries treated by ship's
doctors are the results of automobile
and motor cycle injuries received while
on shore leave, statistics show'. They
are brought aboard at the rate of six
a day.
Winning Contract

Deceptive Defense.
'T'HE question of when to underlead
an ace on the opening lead can
best be answered in a negative manner.
The leader must have reason to suspect
that dummy holds the king of the suit
to be played < for example, when dum
my has opened with one no-trumph).
The second factor is whether declarer
is long or short in the suit. This open
ing lead, always dangerous, can some
times be very successful when declarer
is caught unawares. Today's hand,
played in the mixed team-of-four event
of the Eastern bridge championship,
creates what we believe to be a record
in underleading aces.

West, who had passed originally, rea
soned that declarer could not possibly
place him with three aces: hence he
was running little risk in underleading.
West's opening lead of the deuce of
hearts was perfectly safe since de
1 clarer h&d raised hearts and, therefore,
could not be ahort. Declarer made the
natural play of ducking and East won
with the queen, and returned the suit.
When West next underled the ace of
clubs, declarer should probably have
made the correct guess and gone up
with the king, but he ducked, and East
won with the queen. Figuring that
declarer’s raise of his partner’s open
ing heart bid might easily have been
made on four, East returned the heart.
West ruffed, and now underled his
third ace. Declarer, reflecting that
West had passed originally and could
not possible hold three aces, again
ducked, and East made his third queen.
West then cashed his two aces, and
declarer was set two tricks. Since de
clarer, by good guessing, could have
made three spades, West’s deceptive
underleads had actually fooled him out
of three tricks.
