D—8 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, FIRE CHIES MEET, REVE PROBLENS Discussion Follows Spectac- ular Display of Explosion of Dust. { After a spectacular, made-to-order | display of exploding dust visiting fire- | men here from leading cities of the | {East devoted themselves today to | -unexciting talk about the problems | ‘which make life hard for fire fighters. Dressed in civilian clothes, the dele- | gates to the tenth annual Convention of the Eastern Association of Fire | Chiefs devoted the morning to dis- | gussion of technical matters. | They spent the afternoon at the | Arlington Experimental Farm of the | Agriculture Department, listening to explosions which rocked glass 150 yards away. | Under the supervision of Dr. David | J. Price, explosion engineer of the de- partment, electric sparks set off suc- eessively two blasts of wheat dust, one of aluminum dust, one of starch dust and one of dried-blood fertilizer | dust To emphasize the importance of knowledge of what dust explosions can do, Dr. Price told the chiefs the tragic story of Chief Burnett, 40 years of the Des Moines, Iowa, Burnett, Dr. Price saia, entered a ‘Wwoolen and cotton goods warehouse Jast Winter after his men had put out a fire. He noticed an incipient blaze on the floor and turned to order his men to bring it under control “Suddenly,” Dr. Price said, “there ‘was an explosion of woolen dust. It was over in a flash, but the top of | the chief's cap was burned off. the back of his sweater went up in smoke and Burnett died the next morning. It was just a little dust, but it meant & lof Winning Contract By the Four Aces. Careful Play. CCASIONALLY it is possible to capture all the adverse trumps when one of the,op- ponents holds more than| either the dummy or declarer. Such a hand occurred just the other day North and South could have Mmade seven no-trump with nodifficulty, a grand slam in spades seemed much safer. It looked as though it would be necessary to ruff a club in the North hand, and after all it is not | easy to count 13 top tricks, especially with no long suit available. t South, dealer.

Pass | When West opened a diamond, de- elarer won in dummy, playsd a spade | to his ace and found to his dismay | that East held all five trumps. De- clarer would now be able to make his | grand slam only if he could cash in his top cards and then force East to Tuff in front of him. He played his other diamond to dummy, but did not make the mistake of playing the third round, as East could simply have discarded one of his two clubs. The king and queen of clubs were now | played, then the third round of dia- monds. East discarded a heart; so did | declarer. A small heart was then | played to the ace and the queen over- taken by dummy’s king. On the ten | of hearts declarer threw his jack of | clubs, and the last heart forced East | to trump. The rest was easy. Declarer played his ace of clubs and trumped with dummy’s king of spades, East being forced to play another low trump. The | ten of spades was then led through, | and East's jack was finally captured. | East, although holding more trumpsl‘ than either dummy or declarer, had | been unable to win a single trick.
