Tight races show dissatisfaction Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback’s job is in trouble. That was the big- gest takeaway from last week’s primary election. Normally, winning an election with 63 percent of the vote would be considered a strong victory. Not in this case. Brownback is an incumbent, and his opponent was a complete unknown. She got 37 percent of the vote in a Republican primary in Kansas, where the well-organized ultraconservatives – Brownback’s base – usually run the show. Not only was Jennifer Winn of Wichita a dark horse, she ran for office because of frustration with the way the courts treated her son, charged with murder for his involvement in a drug deal that turned deadly. Late in the campaign, voters also learned that she and her running mate both had bankruptcies in their pasts. One of her pri- mary issues was legalization of marijuana. And with all that baggage, she got almost 40 percent of Republican votes. Those votes were mostly votes against Brownback. Now Brownback and Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer face a pair of truly cred- ible candidates in House Minority Leader Paul Davis of Lawrence and Wichita businesswoman Jill Docking. And voters have plenty of reason to be dissatisfied with the status quo in Kansas. Just a day after the election, a second credit rating agency lowered the state’s bond rating, citing a looming budget crisis and sluggish economic growth. Hometown carnival good for town Brownback’s self-described economic experiment is putting the state in financial distress.

I’m wondering how the value of something like this will be affected by the new laws about ivory. The bracelet ap- pears to be made of seven strands of hair, or it could be just one long strand. The strands are slipped through knots of hairs so that the bracelet is adjustable. A: Elephant-hair bracelets have been made Conceptis Sudoku • Dave Green for 1,000 years and are supposed to protect the By Dave Green wearer from harm, ward off sickness and bring good luck. Amelia Earhart wore an elephant-hair 5 8 3 bracelet for years, but was not wearing it on her last flight in 1937 – when her plane disappeared. 6 9 2 4 7 Blondie • Chic Young Bracelets are made from an elephant’s tail hairs, which can be 2 or 3 feet long. The hairs 1 are trimmed to a uniform thickness and boiled to soften them so they can be molded into shape. 1 9 Poachers kill elephants for tusks, but might also 2 3 8 harvest the tail hair and sell it. Reputable com- panies sell jewelry made from hair that is shed 5 6 naturally and found on the ground, so that is le- gal. Wear your bracelet.

A: You have a collection of “stereo cards.” Sudoku puzzle is at right. Difficulty Level 8/13 When two almost-identical pictures are viewed through a stereoscope, it produces a 3-D image. Stereoscopes were popular from the mid-1800s Cryptoquip into the 1930s. The Keystone View Co., one of the largest manufacturers, was founded by Benn- eville Lloyd Singley in Meadville, Penn., in 1892. Keystone first published a series of stereo cards picturing World War I soldiers, battlefields and other military sites in 1923. Keystone became a Mother Goose and Grimm • Mike Peters subsidiary of Mast Development Co. in the 1960s and closed in 1972. The value of stereo cards is determined by maker and subject. A single card is worth $5 to $10. A complete set of World War I cards sells for about $100 to $150. Q: I have a porcelain vase with the words “Fraureuth, Made in Germany” on the bot- tom. It is marked with a crown above a cir- cle. Inside the circle there’s a small “c” and a capital “F.” Handwritten above the mark is the name “G.

The Trump Echo The trump echo is a signal by which one de- fender tells the other that he started with three trumps. There are times when this knowledge is critical, as illustrated by today’s deal. West leads a club, which, given East’s club holding, could easily be a singleton. So, after taking the ace, East returns the deuce, his lowest Zits • Jim Borgman & Jerry Scott club, to tell West to return the lower-ranking of the two remaining side suits, diamonds. West ruffs the club with the four – beginning a trump echo to indicate three trumps – and shifts to his fourth-best diamond, the five. Declarer takes East’s queen with the ace and plays the king of trumps, West following with the deuce as East wins with the ace. If there were no such animal as a trump echo, East might make the mistake of trying to cash the king of diamonds as the setting trick. He would have no way of knowing that West started with five diamonds and South with the singleton ace. But thanks to the trump echo, East knows his partner has another trump, so he leads another club for West to ruff, and South goes down one. There are positive and negative inferences as- sociated with the trump echo. In the present case, for example, East can tell from West’s ruff with the four, followed by his later play of the two, that West has a third trump. By the same token, if West had started with the doubleton 4-2, he would ruff with the deuce at trick two. When he later played the four, East would draw the inference that West had no more trumps, and he would try to cash the king of dia- monds at trick five as his only hope of stopping the contract.
