Carteret's mistake in land trading,by which it gave to WoodhridgeTownship something like {130,000in industrial valuation over andabove the valuation of the land givenin exchange Ijy Woodbridife, was rec-tified Wednesday by means of acourt order, directing the townshipto return the land in question to( arttret. This order, served on thecounty honrd of taxation, of whichJoseph A. Hermann, former mayorof Certeret, is president, providesthnt the Curtfcret assessor includethe land in fixing borough assess-ments for 1920.

At the time the deal wan made itwas charged b v a n opposing politi-cal faction in Carteret that the bor-ough was getting the worst of it.However, it was believed at thattime by the borough administrationthat the value of the property beingceded to Woodbridge was $50,000,approximately the value of theSteinberg Tract. In fact, this figurewas supplied by the State Board ofTaxation. Since then Carteret offi-cials found out that the $50,000covered only land and not tracks andbuildings on it. Total value of the

Louis Nouberg, then mayor, statedthat Woodbridge had no idea of"putting it over" Carteret in thetrade and had not suspected, nnymore than did Carteret, that thetrade was so one-sided. |

ARTICLE No. 18

Did you rv*r ftop to consider howmany rubbers ar« lost by bad play?One very famous player is authorityfor the statement that four out of everyfive rubbers are "chucked," that i§,lost by bad play or bad bidding. Thi§observation is particularly true of alone, close, rubber where the cards arebreaking fairly eve.n. In iuch a rubber,

a clow observer will notice many a »l!pbefore the rubber i» finaUy lettled. Thewriter was watching one of these closestruggles the other evening and notedtwo hands, each of which if played cor-rectly, would have won the rubber. Seewhat you can do with them before read-ing the analysis.

Z is in the lead and playing the hand atno-trump. He needs all the rest of thetricks for game and rubber. How canhe get them against any defense? Z isin a position to force discards from BThat i» the secret of the problem. Zshould lead the eight of diarrtonds. Yshould discard the seven of clubs andU t he seven of hearts. Z,should now leadtworoundsof heart*, winning the second

round in Y's hand with the queen, Dfollows suit on the first round of heartsbut what can he discard on the secondround. If he discards a club, Y will playtwo rounds of clubs and then put Z'«hind in the lead with the ace of spadesand 7. will make the jack of clubs. If Bdiscards a spade, all of Y's spades aregood. In either case, therefore, YZ mustmake the balance of the tricks.

Spades are trumps and Z, who is play-ing the hand must take all the tricks towin game and rubber. The dummyhand, Y, is in the lead. How can Z soplay the hand against any defense thathe can take all of the remaining tricks?This problem is one where Z mustshorten his trumps. To do so, he mustlead the queen of hearts from Y's hand.B should discard a club for if he trumps,YZ win the balance of the tricks. Z,however, must trump this triik. In noother way can he win the balance ofthe tricks. He should then lead the tenof clubs. Y should now lead the jack ofhearts. If B trumps, Z should over-trump and thus win the balaixe of the

tricks. If B refuses, to,trump, Z shouldalso discard. Z should continue theheart lead for two more rounds, dis-carding if B does. On the Bixth trick,B and Z each have two trumps but Zhas the tenace position and must winboth tricks. This is a situation thatcomes up repeatedly and should becarefully studied. The trumping of agood trick to shorten one's trump hold-ing has been called the "Grand Coup"and is a play that all the experts loveto brag about. Study over this problemand if you understand the principlesand application you will be surprisedhnw often you will have a similar oppor-tunity.

to protest against wuai w a j ^.j ..method that Me&ick has of training his team. I understand,on good authority, that Mesick is taking his men to a gym-!nasium and forcing "Bus" Lorch, "Bill" Martin and the restto practice passing and shooting with a 16-pound bowlingball. Such a thing is palpably unorthodox in that it holds direpossibilities for teams his squad may play. I can say for Fordsthat the boys never have practiced with any but the regulationbasketball. They do not intend to stoop to the use of a bowl-ing ball in practice and they stea'dfastly will refuse to meetMesick's team until Mesick gives them some assurance that hewill discontinue the practice.

A Preposterous SuppositionWhether or not Tank Wagon's charge that the Firemen

use a bowling ball in practice is true could not be learned. Itis believed, however, that if a bowling ball is used it is merely for the purpose of building up the biceps of the players andnot, as Tank Wagon intimates, to prepare the team for a quickswitch from ^ basketball to a bowling ball while the referee isnot looking. It is evident that to attempt to change balls inthe course of a game could not be done successfully, for even ifit escaped the eye of the referee some spectator or, possibly, amember of the opposing team would notice it and register a

! It is hopd that these differences u t u n u .....the two fire company teams will eventually be ironed out to

; the end that the fans here may have a chance {jPsee the muchtalked of series that the two teams planned to play.

FA'idently there is mure to this squabble between "Tank; Wagon" Moriarety and th,e Woodbridge Fire Company bjiskct-;, ball team than has appeared to date. After Tuesday's differ-

ence, which was given currency in thi.s column, the following\va(i received from a reader who neglected, intentionally orotherwise, to sign his name. It is believed, however, that theletter was eithqr written or inspired by Mr. Michael Shapuskwitch, or Hall Avenue Mike., as he is better known to the boyswho know him. His letter follows:

"Dear Sir: I am greatly surprised that Mi".; Moriaretywhom 1 knpw very well, should Appear to be sidestepping ibasketball battle. If my memory fails me not, this same MrMoriarety, who seems to be known to you as 'Tank Wagon,is one of the best two-brick fighters in Woodbridge TownshipI can truthfully say that he has always gi\ten a good accountof himself in our little affairp at Hall avenue and his apparenttimidity at the prospect of a basketball game between two firecompany teams, to say the least, is a triffle embarrasing to hisfriends." j

F. Gerity, left guard l«r Wood-bridge, and Campelle, his forward,had a pretty duel to see which onecould run up the most points. Geritywon by scoring nine field goals toeight for Campelle.

Next Tuesday night the Bearcatsare slated to meet a team from theSewaren Motor Boat Club. Sometime later in the week the Cats willjourney to Linden for a game witha team of that place.

While the Honntp is busily cn-f f ! debating international af-fairs, looking toward closer rplationswith Europe, and in trying to findout just how close the Loapip Courtis to the League, we ought not for-ffet Pan-American affairs and cer-tain rather significant statementsmade recently in the Pan-American]Con(fress by a distinguished Cana-dian, Mr. Frederic Hudd, DominionTrade Commissioner in the UnitelStates, who declared that Canadawants in an the Pan-American ideaand dpsircfl to be considered an"American nation.

« • •

Mr. Hudd declared further thatwhile Canada is the eldest daughterin a Rreat commonwealth, of nations—meaning the British Empire—yether immediate destiny lies on theNorth American continent, in co-operation with her neighbors. Hereip something worth thinking about.Trade between the United States,

CiHinda, Mid tha Benth Aw«rV«ncountrien in increasing yearly, Lndour gr*at powihilitim for expand-ing commerce lie in the WesternHemisphere.

• • «

Mow, if Cnnadn, a member of theRritinh Empire, feel* that Her imme-diate destiny lies on the westerncontinent, how much more ought weto feel that way about the UnitedStates, an independent nation withnew world tradition* and new worldpolicies. Yet there are a great manywell meaning Americans who seemto feel that our destiny lies in Eu-rope and Asia among peoples withtraditions and policies entirely for-eign to our own, rather than withour immediate neighbors. FoTtun-ately, however, these well meaningpeople are in the minority andUncle Sam is not going to forget hisinterest in the Monroe Doctrine andPan-America,

• » •

A British editor in "News of theWorld" gleefully tells the world howGreat Britain is holding us upthrough high prifea. He says pride-fully. "If things continue their pres-ent courae the rising cost of rubberand the diminishing valne of cotton

«nd wKIRT^Aieti America' sends onwill result In making Britain thecreditor nation. Rwry Americanwho is trundling about in hVi motOTcar will have the satisfaction ofknowing that through rubber tireshe is helping the British pay off tVdebt they incurred to save humanity."

* * *H is reassuring to know, however,

that a time when the greatest inter-national drive in history wan beingmade to force us into European poli-cies and to make vm believe thatUncle Sam should play Santn ClausU the rest of the world, a real effortwas being started to look out afterAmerican interests and to protectthem from foreign monopolies likethe rubber trust. Through a resolu-tion introduced by CongressmanTillson with the (ipprbvnl of Secretary Hoover, the activities of theBritish rubber industry arc to he investigated, and it is hoped thatsomething tangible in the way ofaction will result from this investi-gation.

WHY,as a resident of New Jersey, you should

i

name the Fidelity Union executor-trustee

Geographically the gateway to America, the New York and New Janeyterritory must inevitably have unparalleled growth. Joined by the new vehtcklartube and bridges to be built, the two districts have an estimated future popu-lation of 20,000,000 peoph. The largest factories in the world are in (he Meadovsat Port Ne%vark. No residential territory surpasses the estates in the Newark dis-trict, along the Jersey sea coast and in the Ramafo Mountains,

CORPORATIONS moving in to'Jersey and individuals becoming

residents there are subject to a newlegal jurisdiction. Many businessphases of their affairs-assume a newaspect.

The Fidelity Union Trust Companyis a New Jersey institution, affordingbanking and trust relationships inaccord with the peculiar needs of NewJersey corporations and residents.

A Matter for StudyStrangely, most individuals are neg-

ligent regarding the proper settlementof their estate affairs. They probablymake a will, and name a trust company,but often too little study is given tolegal and business phases which ifprgperly settled may save their familieshuo/ireds of dollars.

There are economies to be derived bya resident of New Jersey, from theappointment of a New Jersey fiduciary.

We would be glad to discuss thesematters with you by appointment, andto submit for your consideration anestate plan based on your needs, fromwhich your will could be drawn.

New Jersey's Large BankThe Fidelity Union Trust Company

has many of the largest banking and

trust accounts in New Jersey. Its bank-ing and trust businese exceeds by manymillions that of other New Jerseycompanies.

It is one of the large banks of thecountry. With two or three otherAmerican institutions, it was one of thepioneers in the trust company idea. Itis recognized today among banks as anauthority on the Life Insurance Trust.
