Heart Hand
Fools All
By OSWALD JACOBY

Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
The lale Geoffrey Mott-Smith
coined the expression "the im
mortal hands" to cover the bridge
classics that appear aRain and
again. Usually thev appear as if
they just had been dealt in a rub
ber bridge game, but oldtimers
recognize them as old friends
The Mississippi heart hand dates
back to the game of bridge. The
dealer either made trump or
bridged it to his partner who
would then make trump.
All hands were played at a con
tract of one, but the opponents
could double and dealer and his
partner could redouble indefinite
ly. Hearts were the top suit ir
bridge, so Mississippi River gam
blers would let their victim pick
up the South hand.
He would make hearts trump
and almost fall overboard whenl
he would hear a double. Then he
ould redouble and the gambler
would double again. The victim
would redouble and redouble un
til the gamblers would decide that
one down would represent all that
he could, or would, pay. It would
not lake loo long to get into pret
ty high figures. At a penny a
point one down redoubled once
would cost him 200 points or $2
Each redouble would multiply his
loss by four so that after six
redoubles the hand would cost
him 52.048. and just two more!
redoubles would find the victim.
losing $32.7fi8.
This hand was once thrown into
a duplicate game. All South play
ers. but one. played seven hearts
doubled or redoubled and down
seven. Top score went to a play
er who was so excited that he
opened seven no-trump and only
went down six.

Deductions
Explained
There are two ways of lakmg
deductions on 12 federal income
tax returns. A. O. Kricksnn. di
rector of the Internal Revenue
Service for Oregon advised. Item
ize your charitable contributions,
interest, taxes, mediral and other
expenses, or use the standard
deduction.
If a taxpayer is a homeowner
paying interest and taxes, or if
he has unusually large contribu
tions or medical expenses during
1W2. it may lie to his advantage
to itemize Ihem.
H itemized deductions total less
than 10 per cent of adjusted gins'
income, it will usually be hotter
to claim the standard deduction
The tax table accompanying the

Ohio: There are more than o's

Virginia: Virginia's terrible
