SCHOOL FOR CARD PLAYERS.

Auction Bridge. II. II. says We hav.
mad heated argument as to whether or
not dealer could bid a suit in which
he held ace king alone. provided he held
TWO outside tricks. A insists that no
one can bid suit in which he holds less
than five cards, no matter what the out
side tricks may be.
Modern bidding makes a sharp distinc-
ton between the major and minor suits
in such matters. taking the ground that
no good player ever starts with the idea
Of having diamonds or clubs for trumps
although one OF these suits may eventu-
ally turn out to be the best thing for the
combined hands. dealer should be
willing to bid club or n diamond with
ace king alone and not another trick in
his hand but he would not bid a heart or
royal with less than Ave In suit, unless
he had four honors. outside tricks are
necessary always with a heart or royal to
make up for the tricks the declaration
demands. The more trumps the dealer
has the less outside tricks he needs. The
minimum for sound declarations Is Ave
trumps to two sure tricks and a trick
or two outside.

circumstances demand that the Consul

a Consul can draw on the treasury for the
relief OF stranded Americans Many cases

NOVEL POINTS OF THE LAW.

The authority exercised by the English
Court Of Criminal Appeal in revising SEN
fences is now lodged in the Supreme Court
OF the Philippine Islands under a ruling by
the Supreme Court OF the United States In
ocampo VS.. Kalaw In spite of the pro-
vision OF the Philippine Commission act
under which judgments of the courts OF
first instance are final unless an appeal
Is taken. In the case in question the SEN
tence OF the defendant Kalaw was in
creased. The decision OF the Supreme
Court held that there had been no change
from the old Spanish system by which
the courts OF first instance were held
merely to be examining courts having pre-
limlnary Jurisdiction and whose Judgments
were not final until passed upon by the
