compared with previous years. when the
season was October and November. and
the reduction OF the bag limit to two
birds in a day and ten in a season, were
ordered by the Conservation Commits
sion as a result OF petitions filled by
sportsmen. stating that partridge have
decreased to an alarming extent within
the last few years
Hearings on the subject were held by
the Conservation Commission in August,
and the commissions decision was ad-
vertised In newspapers In every county
OF the State and filed with every county
clerk as required by law. in addition
much publicity was given to the matter
in the press.
Commissioner Pratt feels that sports
men have no excuse for ignorance of the
present regulation, and has instructed
all game protectors to proceed against
violators.
On Long Island. where the grouse
season was formerly November and
December, 1t has been limited this year
to the month of November.

If we look at BIS cards a moment we

makes both the tricks In hearts, the
combined hands are not good for the

something more in AS hand than Just

This Is the point that the beginner
falls to notice. II Is very nice to know
that your partner can stop one of the
four suits; but Nwhat about the three
others? cannot make three spades IL

On the other hand. if the partner can
stop the hearts twice game in hearts is
a practical impossibility for the dealer.

Looked at In this way, BIS object
should not be to get a no trump bid from
his partner but n suit bid. Then why
not start things by bidding n suit him

B can support him in clubs or diamonds
In the actual play AS no trumper was
