Your, Bridge Problems Answered Finesses Have 50-50 Chance For Success By Ely Culbertson Most bridge players know that a finesse has a 50 percent chance of success, for there are only two possi- bilities: one opponent or the other has the missing high card—and, in the absence of any illuminating bid- ding or play, one opponent is Just as likely as the other to hold it. But very few players know what chance there is that two out of three finesses will succeed. How often you will hear a player exclaim: "Imagine making a game on that hand! We certainly couldn't bid it. Why, we needed two finesses out of three!" But actually the two cases are pre- cisely the same. You have exactly an even chance to win two finesses out of three. A perfect analogy may be found in tossing a coin, two out of three heads or tails to decide the win- ner—obviously an even money bet. Therefore in such a case, even a slam is a fair bet. A hand which illustrated this point was dealt in a duplicate game and only one player had' a clear enough idea of h'js prospects to bid the slam. South, dealer. > North-South vulnerable. WEST AJ843 S?9 0J7543 + KJ10 NORTH <?Q8f4 C-10 88 + 864 EAST 4 K 10 8 2 OK92 + 97532 SOUTH A AQ <?AKJ1063 2 O A Q *AQ The bidding: South West North East 2 hearts Pass 4 hearts Pass 6 N. T. Pass Pass Pass The bidding was excellent from start to finish. South had only four possible losing cards and over six and one-half honor tricks, so his two-bid was amply warranted. North's response was peculiarly en- lightening. This bid, in the Culbert- son system, is used to show a very weak hand which contains, neverthe- less, good trump support. The re- quirements are: four trumps to the queen, or any five trumps; and no singleton, void, king, or ace in the hand. In other words, the bid means. "Partner, I like your suit, but can furnish absolutely no other help for a slam." , South knew what North's response meant, but properly disregarded its note of warning. He could be sure of being able to enter North's hand at least three times with low hearts. That meant that he would be able to take all three finesses. Since this would give him a 50 percent chance for a slam (with the added advantage that any opening lead but a heart would give him), he bid six at once. Since it was duplicate bridge he prop- erly bid the slam in no trump to take advantage of the extra value of the no trump trick score. West carefully avoided the pitfalls of the opening lead by beginning with the nine of hearts. But South took all three finesses and made his slam without any trouble. Comings and Goings— Mr. and Mrs. David Van Pelt, for- merly of Villanova, are occupying their new house at Rosemont. Mrs. Alan H. Reed, of "Arboretum," Wyncote, will have as her guests during the convention Mr. and Mrs. John Oliver La Gorce, of Washing- ton, and Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Kud- ner, of New York, who will arrive tomorrow. Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton D. Car- penter, of Chestnut Hill, have re- turned home from New London, Conn., where they attended the Yale-Harvard boat races on Friday. Mr. and Mrs. Harrison K. Caner, Jr., of 2118 Locust St., will occupy later in the week the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles M. Justi, in Hill- brook road, Haverford, which they have taken for the summer. TAKE NEW ENGLAND HOME Mr. and Mrs. Algernon A. Craven, of "Windridge Cottage," Penllyn, have taken a house at Sconset, Mass., which they will occupy early in August.

Peace Leader Conducts Convention t hobby School* By Mary Padgett A "lobby school" was conducted yesterday by Miss Dorothy Detzer, executive secretary of the United States Section of the Women's Inter- national League for Peace and Free- dom, at which some 50 members from various Eastern States received in- struction on how to approach con- vention delegates on peace planks. The women met in the Indian Room of the Walton Hotel, where the W. I. L. has established headquar- ters for the duration of the Repub- lican Convention. CONVENTION VETERAN Miss Detzer, who has been to every Republican and Democratic conven- tion since 1928, told the women to try to make it clear to all delegates they were able to "buttonhole" that the Republican Party had a unique op- portunity to become the "peace party " Miss Detzer suggested that the women point out to the delegates that though the current war was "fashion- able" with certain elite circles it "cer- tainly was not popular," and that ev- ery poll of opinion has indicated that the masses of American people and particularly the women want to keep this country out of war. "But we should not minimize the fact that this war is not a simple issue," said Miss Detzer. FEARS SIDE-DOOR MOVE The peace leader also declared the Administration was apt to involve this country in wars of Europe and Asia by using "the side door of South America." "Two moves already have been made that are very dangerous," she said. "One, the Administration, without any authority from Con- gress, permitted the British and the French troops to occupy their West Indies possession. The second was the sending of a war ship to Uruguay. Uruguay is not a democracy and it is as far away from the United States as Berlin. CALLS DOCTRINE LIMITED "Whatever has been said in the past in regard to the Monroe Doc- trine is a matter of record and his- tory. The Monroe Doctrine tradi- tionally has only applied to the Car- ibbean area. Therefore, urge the delegates in any anti-war plan which is adopted to make it quite clear that this country should not be drawn into a European war via South America." ASSAILS CONSCRIPTION ' In advising the group, Miss Det- zer also said that conscription, "particularly peace-time conscrip- tion" was merely a "modern mani- festation of the ancient evil in de- gradation slavery." "If this policy was accepted by the Congress," she said "we would be taking on certain vestiges of Hit- • I •• ••—•I.BI ll.l.llll ll •!!•• Ml 1 •—••—•— .

He wouldn't even have to fire a shot before we would start the very. thing that we would be fighting, namely the methods of totalitarians." / Miss Detzer expressed the opinion that Americans were not "indiffer- ent to the tragic state of Europe." She said that delegates should be urged to see that a clear plank was in the platform, calling for "a gen- erous policy toward the victims of Fascism." URGES AID "We ought to do everything in this country to open the doors to chil- dren, the old and the helpless as an immediate step and to follow our traditional policy of being a haven for the victims of oppression," she declared. "We should point out that Americans would gain enormously by bringing in those who believe in a free mind and a free spirit," she added. Up to the time when the platform is adopted, members of the Women's International League hope to see the majority of delegates. Each member is armed with "Keep Amer- ica Out of War" buttons which they also will pin on delegates. Miss Detzer, who has been execu- tive secretary since 1925 of the W. I. L., which has headquarters in Washington, D. C, is planning to give further instruction in the peace campaign for those who want to help. In between political conclaves, Miss Detzer devotes her time primarily to lobbying in Congress for the peace movement.

Housekeeping Hints— Ivory piano keys and small carved objects should be cleaned frequently to keep them from turning yellow permanently.' Use peroxide, alcohol or lemon Juice as a bleach. Once the ivory has become yellow—all the way through, it cannot be re- turned to its natural white color. Exposure to sunlight will have a bleaching effect if the yellow has not penetratedr too deeply. You can clean the grandfather's clock like this: Dip a three-inch piece of cotton in kerosene, and place in a small dish. Set inside the clock. Close the door and the fumes will clean the clock, loosening the dust so that it can be removed with a soft cloth tied on the end of a narrow stick. Fireplaces purify the air in any room and act as ventilators. The heat of the fire buUt in a fireplace causes the air to expand and rise through the chimney. This leaves a vacuum which the colder and heavier air in the room rushes in to fill. TO facilitate the removal of frozen foods from the refrigerator trays, line each tray with waxed paper before filling it. When the food is frozen, lift it out by the edges of the paper. The paper may then be torn off easily. Bottles containing cream or milk should never be left uncovered in the refrigerator. Odors from the other foods are quickly absorbed by them. Some garden makers make a libera! sowing of beets at this season in order that they may enjoy beet greens a few more times before the summer is over. Keep the beets well culti- vated and do not let them crowd. Dr. Barton Advises On Health' Sudden Allergy Traced to Co mmon Foods By Dr. James W . Barton Most of us are familiar with the wheezing noise that occurs during an attack of asthma. This wheezing is generally considered definite proof of asthma. However, "All Is not asthma that wheezes." is pointed out by Prof. J. Harvey Black. Dallas. Texas, in an address before the In- ternational Medical Assembly, held in Chicago. Heart disease can cause difficult breathing and the "sighing* of nervous or neurotic patients may be mistaken for the wheezing of asthma. A few years ago the cause of asthma was unknown. When it was found that pollen of plants, certain foods, feathers, furs, and other sub- stances cause attacks, nearly every- body with a "wheeze" was given skin tests for these substances; al- lergy tests, as they are called. ALLERGIC PATIENTS Dr. Black points out that patients who are sensitive to various cub- stances—allergic p a t i e n t s—are "people" and should be studied as such. Thus a woman had asthma only when her husband was around but was free from attack when he was away. He was a dealer in chick- ens and the wife was allergic to ben feathers. Similarly with those who are al- lergic to foods. Everyday nourish- ing food such as wheat, eggs and milk can cause such severe attacks of pain in stomach and intestine, that appendicitis, gall stones and kidney stones may be suspected. Liking a food doesn't mean that it will agree with you and cause no symptoms. SUDDEN SYMPTOMS Another point that is easily over- looked it that a food or other sub- stance that has caused no stofAach upset or asthmatic attack may sud- denly cause symptoms. One may have been able to eat foods such as butter or eggs for years, and suddenly find that they cause severe pain in the stomach or intestine. Dr. Black spoke of a woman using orris root talcum powder all ber life and then became allergic to it at the age of 63, and a fanner 74 years old suddenly became sensitive to rag- weed. If, then, there are attacks of wheezing or upsets of stomach and intestine, tests for the commonest foods or other substances fowneiiy causing no symptoms should be made, as gland or other changes in the body may bave caused the patient to become sensitive or allergic to them. While all Is not asthma that wheezes and stomach and intestine upsets are not always due to al- lergy, nevertheless the fact that they may be due to allergy should not be forgotten. Q. Is blood in the stool a sign of a serious disorder?—Mrs. C. McN. A. If bleed Is bright it may ee a tiny tear in the lining ef fcowel or from a pile or hcmeraea*. Dark blood may be doe to nicer of the stomach or to cancer. Best plan to to see a physician and find out cause.

By Jana Wisfer

FIVE O'CLOCK yesterday afternoon found New York's fashion­able St. James' Church Jammed to the doors with socialites from several cities, including a goodly quota from the Quaker

City's ranks of smartdom, for the marriage of the lovely Louise de Korea Bowen to the well-liked young John Rodman Wanamaker, son of Mrs. Disston Wanamaker, of Chestnut Hill, and the late John Wanamaker.

Masses of white lilies and white stock, banked with tall graceful greens, decorated the church, forming an impressive background for the bridal attendants as they assembled at the chancel for the ceremony, at which Rev. Horace W. B. Donegan, rector of the church,

The bride, a daughter of Mrs, Elisabeth Winthrop Smith, Is fair to gaze anon and is a favorite with all. It is generally understood the couple met for the first time at Bar Harbor last summer while young Wanamaker was spending the season with Ids grandmother, Mrs. Dunlop McVickar, of this city and New York, at the tatter's place at Northeast Harbor.

Wadding Plans Eagerly Awaited

Following close upon the news of the engagement came plans for the wedding, details of which were of foremost importance to social leaders here, where the bride has visited frequently during the last few months. She is a daughter of the late John de Koveh Bowen, a granddaughter of Mr. Joseph Tilton Bowen, of Chicago, and of the late Mr. and Mrs. Ledyard Stevens, of New York, and a great-granddaughter of Dr. Alexander H. Stevens, who was first president of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia Uni­versity.

Entering the church on the arm of her eldest brother, John de Koven Bowen, she was picturesque in a wedding gown of snow white tulle. Ber tuMe veil was arranged with orange blos­soms and she held a white lace fan which was used by her mother and her grandmother, Mrs. Ledyard Stevens, at their weddings. She carried a bouquet of gardenias and lUies-of-the-valley.

Heading the procession as maid cd honor was Miss Katharine Mortimer, of New York, wearing a frock of shell pink tuUef with a bandeau of pink lilies in her hair and a short face veil. Her bouquet was formed of pink lilies and lilies-of-the-valley, the latter tinted to match her gown.

Your, Bridge Problems Answered

Finesses Have 50-50 Chance For Success

By Ely Culbertson Most bridge players know that a

finesse has a 50 percent chance of success, for there are only two possi­bilities: one opponent or the other has the missing high card—and, in the absence of any illuminating bid­ding or play, one opponent is Just as likely as the other to hold it. But very few players know what chance there is that two out of three finesses will succeed.

How often you will hear a player exclaim: "Imagine making a game on that hand! We certainly couldn't bid it. Why, we needed two finesses out of three!"

But actually the two cases are pre­cisely the same. You have exactly an even chance to win two finesses out of three. A perfect analogy may be found in tossing a coin, two out of three heads or tails to decide the win­ner—obviously an even money bet. Therefore in such a case, even a slam is a fair bet.

A hand which illustrated this point was dealt in a duplicate game and only one player had' a clear enough idea of h'js prospects to bid the slam.

South, dealer. > North-South vulnerable.

WEST A J 8 4 3 S?9 0 J 7 5 4 3 + K J 1 0

NORTH

< ? Q 8 f 4 C-10 88 + 864

EAST 4 K 10 8 2

O K 9 2 + 9 7 5 3 2

SOUTH A AQ < ? A K J 1 0 6 3 2 O A Q * A Q

The bidding: South West North East 2 hearts Pass 4 hearts Pass 6 N. T. Pass Pass Pass

The bidding was excellent from start to finish. South had only four possible losing cards and over six and one-half honor tricks, so his two-bid was amply warranted.

North's response was peculiarly en­lightening. This bid, in the Culbert­son system, is used to show a very weak hand which contains, neverthe­less, good trump support. The re­quirements are: four trumps to the queen, or any five trumps; and no singleton, void, king, or ace in the hand. In other words, the bid means. "Partner, I like your suit, but can furnish absolutely no other help for a slam." ,

South knew what North's response meant, but properly disregarded its note of warning. He could be sure of being able to enter North's hand at least three times with low hearts. That meant that he would be able to take all three finesses. Since this would give him a 50 percent chance for a slam (with the added advantage that any opening lead but a heart would give him), he bid six at once. Since it was duplicate bridge he prop­erly bid the slam in no trump to take advantage of the extra value of the no trump trick score.

West carefully avoided the pitfalls of the opening lead by beginning with the nine of hearts. But South took all three finesses and made his slam without any trouble.

Peace Leader Conducts Convention thobby School* By Mary Padgett

A "lobby school" was conducted yesterday by Miss Dorothy Detzer, executive secretary of the United States Section of the Women's Inter­national League for Peace and Free­dom, at which some 50 members from various Eastern States received in­struction on how to approach con­vention delegates on peace planks.

The women met in the Indian Room of the Walton Hotel, where the W. I. L. has established headquar­ters for the duration of the Repub­lican Convention. CONVENTION VETERAN

Miss Detzer, who has been to every Republican and Democratic conven­tion since 1928, told the women to try to make it clear to all delegates they were able to "buttonhole" that the Republican Party had a unique op­portunity to become the "peace party "

Miss Detzer suggested that the women point out to the delegates that though the current war was "fashion­able" with certain elite circles it "cer­tainly was not popular," and that ev­ery poll of opinion has indicated that the masses of American people and particularly the women want to keep this country out of war.

"But we should not minimize the fact that this war is not a simple issue," said Miss Detzer. FEARS SIDE-DOOR MOVE

The peace leader also declared the Administration was apt to involve this country in wars of Europe and Asia by using "the side door of South America."

"Two moves already have been made that are very dangerous," she said. "One, the Administration, without any authority from Con­gress, permitted the British and the French troops to occupy their West Indies possession. The second was the sending of a war ship to Uruguay. Uruguay is not a democracy and it is as far away from the United States as Berlin.

CALLS DOCTRINE LIMITED "Whatever has been said in the

past in regard to the Monroe Doc­trine is a matter of record and his­tory. The Monroe Doctrine tradi­tionally has only applied to the Car­ibbean area. Therefore, urge the delegates in any anti-war plan which is adopted to make it quite clear that this country should not be drawn into a European war via South America."

ASSAILS CONSCRIPTION ' In advising the group, Miss Det­

zer also said that conscription, "particularly peace-time conscrip­tion" was merely a "modern mani­festation of the ancient evil in de­gradation slavery."

"If this policy was accepted by the Congress," she said "we would be taking on certain vestiges of Hit-• I •• • • — • I . B I l l . l . l l l l ll • ! ! • • • Ml 1 • — • • — • — . • • • • " • ' ' m i l M i l l W

Miss Detzer expressed the opinion that Americans were not "indiffer­ent to the tragic state of Europe." She said that delegates should be urged to see that a clear plank was in the platform, calling for "a gen­erous policy toward the victims of Fascism." URGES AID

"We ought to do everything in this country to open the doors to chil­dren, the old and the helpless as an immediate step and to follow our traditional policy of being a haven for the victims of oppression," she declared. "We should point out that Americans would gain enormously by bringing in those who believe in a free mind and a free spirit," she added.

Up to the time when the platform is adopted, members of the Women's International League hope to see the majority of delegates. Each member is armed with "Keep Amer­ica Out of War" buttons which they also will pin on delegates.

Miss Detzer, who has been execu­tive secretary since 1925 of the W. I. L., which has headquarters in Washington, D. C, is planning to give further instruction in the peace campaign for those who want to help.

In between political conclaves, Miss Detzer devotes her time primarily to lobbying in Congress for the peace movement.

Housekeeping Hints—

Ivory piano keys and small carved objects should be cleaned frequently to keep them from turning yellow permanently.' Use peroxide, alcohol or lemon Juice as a bleach. Once the ivory has become yellow—all the way through, it cannot be re­turned to its natural white color. Exposure to sunlight will have a bleaching effect if the yellow has not penetratedr too deeply.

You can clean the grandfather's clock like this: Dip a three-inch piece of cotton in kerosene, and place in a small dish. Set inside the clock. Close the door and the fumes will clean the clock, loosening the dust so that it can be removed with a soft cloth tied on the end of a narrow stick.

Fireplaces purify the air in any room and act as ventilators. The heat of the fire buUt in a fireplace causes the air to expand and rise through the chimney. This leaves a vacuum which the colder and heavier air in the room rushes in to fill.

TO facilitate the removal of frozen foods from the refrigerator trays, line each tray with waxed paper before filling it. When the food is frozen, lift it out by the edges of the paper. The paper may then be torn off easily.

Bottles containing cream or milk should never be left uncovered in the refrigerator. Odors from the other foods are quickly absorbed by them.

Some garden makers make a libera! sowing of beets at this season in order that they may enjoy beet greens a few more times before the summer is over. Keep the beets well culti­vated and do not let them crowd.

Dr. Barton Advises On Health'

Sudden Allergy Traced to Co mmon Foods

By Dr. James W . Barton Most of us are familiar with the

wheezing noise that occurs during an attack of asthma. This wheezing is generally considered definite proof of asthma. However, "All Is not asthma that wheezes." is pointed out by Prof. J. Harvey Black. Dallas. Texas, in an address before the In­ternational Medical Assembly, held in Chicago. Heart disease can cause difficult breathing and the "sighing* of nervous or neurotic patients may be mistaken for the wheezing of asthma.

A few years ago the cause of asthma was unknown. When it was found that pollen of plants, certain foods, feathers, furs, and other sub­stances cause attacks, nearly every­body with a "wheeze" was given skin tests for these substances; al­lergy tests, as they are called. ALLERGIC PATIENTS

Dr. Black points out that patients who are sensitive to various cub-stances—allergic p a t i e n t s—are "people" and should be studied as such. Thus a woman had asthma only when her husband was around but was free from attack when he was away. He was a dealer in chick­ens and the wife was allergic to ben feathers.

Similarly with those who are al­lergic to foods. Everyday nourish­ing food such as wheat, eggs and milk can cause such severe attacks of pain in stomach and intestine, that appendicitis, gall stones and kidney stones may be suspected. Liking a food doesn't mean that it will agree with you and cause no symptoms. SUDDEN SYMPTOMS

Another point that is easily over­looked it that a food or other sub­stance that has caused no stofAach upset or asthmatic attack may sud­denly cause symptoms. One may have been able to eat foods such as butter or eggs for years, and suddenly find that they cause severe pain in the stomach or intestine.

Dr. Black spoke of a woman using orris root talcum powder all ber life and then became allergic to it at the age of 63, and a fanner 74 years old suddenly became sensitive to rag­weed.

If, then, there are attacks of wheezing or upsets of stomach and intestine, tests for the commonest foods or other substances fowneiiy causing no symptoms should be made, as gland or other changes in the body may bave caused the patient to become sensitive or allergic to them.

While all Is not asthma that wheezes and stomach and intestine upsets are not always due to al­lergy, nevertheless the fact that they may be due to allergy should not be forgotten.

Q. Is blood in the stool a sign of a serious disorder?—Mrs. C. McN.

A. If bleed Is bright it may ee a tiny tear in the lining ef fcowel or from a pile or hcmeraea*. Dark blood may be doe to nicer of the stomach or to cancer. Best plan to to see a physician and find out cause.
