UNDER-RUFFING RARE
A REAL rarity of a play, sel-
dom uaed except by very fine play-
ers and even on only the most un-
usual occasions by them, is the
intentional under-ruff. It consists
of putting onto a trick, which al-
ready contains a high trump, a
lower trump instead of discarding
a card of some other suit. The pur-
pose 1s, usually, to change the
position of the lead at some later
stage of the play, and it requires
keen foresight to look ahead and
see how that would work

Experiments with tissue in laboratory test tubes seem to from Yoakum yesterday to
that penicij»r> kills cancer cells without harming nor-
mal tissues. But several steps must yet be taken before it can
be tried on living people. Even then, there is no certainty that
it will do what everyone hopes it can.
Cancer is such a terrible scourge that every possible ef-
fort is being made to discover means of its prevention and
cure. The penicillin experiments are the latest along this line.
It would be a mistake to let much hope arise at this point in
the investigation. Great hopes for such cures have so often
proved false, and the reaction from them is cruel indeed. But
it can safely be said that so far the results look a little prom-
THE VICTORY GARDEN
should first be "planted” on paper.
This means laying out a planting
plan. Planning on paper means
fewer mistakes. A plan enables
one to so arrange the garden that
all the area is occupied and pro-
ducing during all of the growing
season. v
After planning the Victory gar-
den on paper, the use of proper
fertilizer and lots of “elbow
grease” In preparing and culti-
vating the »)il will result in amaz-
ing crops of vegetables from even
a Email plot of ground. ,
One very productive plan for
the .small Victory garden calls for
“top aiM-bottom” gardening. This
method Is illustrated in the ac-
companying Garden-Graph. “Top-
and-bottom” gardening means fol-
lowing a root crop such as carrots
with an above ground crop such
as late cabbage. Early lettuce can
be followed by a planting of besets.
Extra-early peas, radishes and
com can be followed by turnips,
carrots or beets. Early onions,
beets and carrots can be followed
by peppers, tomatoes and egg-
plants. t
In planning the Victory garden
on paper, and when ordering the
seeds for it, the home canning
program should be given full con-
sideration Instead of merely rely-
ing upon canning any “surpluses”
if any.

Anyone expecting sympathy for the hardships he under-
boarding a train should consider, the British.
Passenger service in Great Britain has gone down by 30
per cent The remaining trains are carrying twice as many pas-
— per ag before the war. On long distance trips
the passengers are soldiers in uniform. Dining

ids. Our wrecks, fortunately have been few.
1,673,749 people died of famine last year

CtoRERt Is presumably true. Nor is tins all. Deaths in the’
averaged 1,200,000 annually. To Americans
horrifying but unaccountable.
____ |is a simple explanation: too many people and
too little rain. The combination has existed for many centur-
ies. In the ttototie Ages there was a continuous famine for 11
years, and two centuries later a 12-year famine. In 1770 one- j
third af the ^population of Bengal perished. It is Nature’s •
grim Way of restoring the balance.
The BritMb, with -all their faults as administrators, are no
believers 1n famine, and are doing all they can to mitigate it.
But it Is time of tooth India and China that, when the rain
fails, the population is so teeming that there is simply not
enough food to go round. It is the old story of the great Irish

Exit Jim Farley
Is Jim Farley on his way out? The powerful O’Connell
Democratic organisation Albany is trying to defeat him for
the chairmanship of the state committee, a post which he has
held for 20 years. This is new Jtis oniy position involving real
political power. A few years ago he was also chairman of thd
national committee, and N4w York’s representative on that
body. Giving up those p*ts in 1440, he still held his state
chairmanship and helped President Roosevelt carry New York
in tiie fall.
Since then he seems to have lost his old magic. He insist-
ed>on choosing the candidate for governor in 1042, and reject-
ing the 400,000 or more votes offered by the American Labor
party, and went down to defeat at the hands of Gov. Dewey.
In 1943 the special election for the lieutenant-governorship
brought another bad defeat.
Now influential party elements, by no means confined to
the President’s intimates, say that Jim ain’t what he used to
be, and that a change is called for He himself has seen that
happen to so many other political leaders that he may be
philosophical when the block-buster falls on his own house.
Seems as if there wa^ enough argument in

The Nazis must be coming to the conclusion that whoever
first thought of this blitzkrieg idea wasn’t so hot after all.
Secretary Hull’s 17 points might be called diplomatic ra-
tions.
The story now Is that Goering has been dismissed as Air
In other words, Herr Air Chief has been given the air.
HIS time he knew they were
after him. Hand on the door,
j JL he could hear their voices
i echoing down the dim hotel corri-
I dor, nearer than before, and, enter-
t ing the room, he closed the door
softly behind him.
Warmer in there. The scent of
perfume floated toward Aim. Across
the bed lay a woman’s dress, a pair
of stockings, and a little heap of
pale silk lingerie. On the table, an
open suitcase. -
Frowning, he stood hesitant,
hand still on the knob, bat outside
the clamor of excited voices was in
full cry—no going back now. The
man-hunt was op.
Again hip eyes traversed the
room, then ’fixed upon the inner
door. Slowly it was swinging open.
A shadow fell across the floor,
and he found himself looking into
the startled eyes of a girl. .
He was conscious first of the
wine-colored robe gathered tight
«bont her body; then of her hair—
thick, fall of vitality, shading from
dark brown to an almost taffy lights
ness—hair that even in this breath-
less second of discovery reminded
him of a wolf’s pelt. And last of
all he was aware of eyes that were
smoky preen and very long beneath
-Made, level lashes.
I Throughout a tense, unforget-
table moment they Btood at gaae,
while the ticking of n clock grew
lender. He saw the blood mounting
to her cheeks and waited for the
cry that never came.
> Instead she moved forward. Her
eyes passed from his face to the
heavy mackinaw, the woolen field
clothes and high-top moccasins. He
heard the quick intake of her breath,
then the half-whispered words,
“What do you want?”
‘ The same quality of richness in
her voice that he had noticed down-
stairs. But now he saw her fingers
/tighten. “Answer mol"
“Don’t be frightened.” He spoke
in a quick, low voice.
\ “I'm not frightened. What are you
doing here?”
No, she wasn’t frightened . . .
these cool .gross «yes told him she
would not be frightened. She was
one of those who had learned the
futility of fear. The small hands
that clasped the folds of her kimo-
no—they weren’t even trembling,
r Rapidly she shook her head. “You
must go at once or 171—”
He raised a hand to his lips—
those voices were just outside the
door. She stopped, and like statues
they stood barely a pace apart,
i Noisily the voices passed down
the hall, and he permitted himself
to breathe again. She leaned for-
ward, lips scarcely moving. . ^
•. “They are looking for you?”
* He motioned her back from the
door, but without stirring she
asked, “Are you a criminal?”
i. “No.” J***
’ “Then why—?” She was looking
at him more closely. “Have^I seen
you before?”
“Downstairs, at the desk. You
were asking the clerk about planes
to Learmonth, That’s why I came
here.”
V “But I still don’t—”
“You want to fly to Learmonth,
don’t you? I can help you get there.”
' “The clerk said there were no
planes.”
“There won’t be any scheduled
planes until the fake is frozen over.
But I can charter one. It’s either
that or waiting here two weeks—
maybe more.”
“I can’t wait two weeks. I have
to get there sooner! I must!”
He half smiled. "There’s no muat
in this north country.”
“There is for me.” The color of
her cheek deepened. “I have exactly
three dollars left.” She walked to-
ward the window, then swiftly
turned. “Why do you need me?”
“To arrange for the plane. They’ll
be watching for me to do that very
thing.’!
“And you came to my room to
hide?”
Again that fleeting smile. “It was
getting a little warm for me out-
Dubiously the smoky green eyes
studied him. “Who are you?"
“Colin Rae. I used to live in
Learmonth."
“Do you know Rodney Selkirk,
the Hendrik’s Bay man there?”
“He’s the closest friend I have in
ti»e world."
Her eyes were still on him, but*
little of their suspicious watchful-
ness had drained away, and toe
seemed for the first tone to ap-
praise him—the square, strong face,
tanned by sun and wind, the. col-
umnar neck and thick, bronzy hair,
inclined to earl. She looked very
small, almost childlike, in compari-

he said.
“Too know why I did that?"
“To help a man in danger."
“I don’t think so. I did it because
you know Rodney Selkirk—and be- <

Even H you’re guilty—” She
stopped, as if waiting for him to
make some-denial, hut he bad pieked
up the telephone hook.

the Q and ruffed by the spade K,
East discarding his club 4. The
club, 7, Q and K made the tenth

but three trumps, had to ruff. This
left him only the spade J and p,

One East found toe way to beat
it another trick. When the heart
J on the ninth trick was cuffed
by the spade K. he put on his
spade 8, leaving himself two
clubs and two tramps. Then on

lose a club trick to West’s 9 and
also a trump to East's J. He could
do nothing about it after Bast put

“Why are you la danger?" aka
asked. “If—” *4-
A sharp rap on the door made
them both whirl. Once again the
knock, louder this time, and a key
rattled in the lock.
Instantly she moved forward.
“Who is it?” The words rang with
an angry challenge.
“The police. We’re loeking for a
man on this floor. He robbed a trap-
per on the train from Wolverine.
We think he’s in one of the rooms."
Cold as ice, the woman answered,
“Then why disturb me?”
“We heard you speak. We
thought—”
“I was having tea with him?"
Rae looked at her in new sur-
prise: the voice was’so coldly with-
ering.
“No, madam. But we have to
make sure. If you don’t mind—"
The key turned, the door began
opening, and Rae flattened hinwelf
against the wall, ready to strike.
But the woman had placed herself
directly before the door. She made
no move to touch it; she merely
stood there, hands crossed about
her dressing robe, eyes blazing;
then she commanded, “Close that
door!”
It closed. In hasty retreat the
footsteps moved away; the smoky
eyes raised to his, and to Colin’s
amazement he saw they were smil-
ing. It was superb acting, and his
own eyes lighted with admiration,
while he stood in silence until a
key clicked farther down the hall.
“Were they really the police?”
she whispered.
“No. I recognized that voice: it
was one of the gang who followed
me down. But if I don’t get out of
Winnipeg soon, they may trump up
some charge with the police to hold

Benedict ha* a nice voiee. Her plana
will be ready to take off in two

at him dubiously, and he touched his
pocket. **4
“Yes, I have the money.". He
looked at his watch. “We’d bettor
leave here in a half hour: the air-
port’s a long way out. Now if the
weather just holds I’* 4
Walking to the window, he pulled
back the curtain, then, dropping it,
stepped baek quickly. 4
Across the street a man was
standing, looking ap at the hotel:
a small, frail-looking ban with
spectacled eyas, a faded derby, sad
blade, almost clerical dothea. ,
Rae beard the girl’s robe rustle
behind him. “Don’t touch that ear*
tain," he warned. ----
“Who is he?"
In a tense, tight voice M an-
swered, “Once I heard him called
tiie most dangerous xdhn ia Cana-
da." »
“Why?"
“I never knew: the man who said
it m dead."
Silence fell, filled with the heavy
implication*, of unspoken thiwy,
while down in the street the solitary
watcher continued his leisurely ex-
amination of every window.
Incredulously she raised her eyes.
“You’re so big, and you’re afraid of
that little man?”
A brief smile softened his face.
“Your bathtub will run over,” be
reminded her.
Without a word she gathered up
her clothes from the bed and closed
the inner door after her.
