She protested to the authorities and then spent the next two years investigating the treatment of the insane in jails and pooriiouses throughout the state.

Mentally ill people were kept, chained and caged. Often they were beaten by their keepers. Miss Dix appealed to newspapers and public officials for help. With their assistance she convinced the Massachusetts legislature to provide money for mental hospitals. For the next Hi years Dorothea Dix continued her work throughout the United Stales.

She traveled thousands of miles pleading with state officials to improve their treatment of the insane. Hecause of her work, new hospitals were built, or old ones improved in many states. When the Civil War broke out in 1861, Miss Dix offered her services as a nurse. During the four years of the war she served as of women nurses.

How about the play of the ace followed by the queen of hearts? This play would win whenever West started with Jin more than two hearls. Rut suppose, as in the actual case. West had started with three hearts? The scissors coup was the answer. After Svarc won the spade in dummy, he played the queen of clubs and discarded his diamond ten' West was given a trick to which he was not entitled, however; with that the contract was assured. East's entry had been denied and West could no longer get a spade ruff.

Svarc ruffed West's diamond continuation and then played the ace and queen hearts. West won but could do no better than return another diamond which Svarc ruffed. The last trump was a and the hand claimed. Send bridge questions to The Aces, P.O. Rox Dallas, Texas 7.VJ25.
