dealt and bid a heart. A and Y
passed. and B bid a spade. Instead of
rebidding the heart suit. TO show the
outside strength without mentioning the
suit, which II Is not necessary for the
partner to know, n shifted to two dia-
,nonds. A and Y again passed. and
after some consideration B dropped the
spades and bida4w no trumps.
Correct Inference Won.
BIS inference was that Y could not
have had a very strong heart suit II
he felt compelled to shift 10 the dia-
monds without waiting for his partner
30 assist the hearts. Az A refused 10
assist the spades. It looked as II he had
the heart contract sewed up. in which
case he must have pretty strong clubs.
This view is confirmed by VS. refusal to
assist the hearts after z has shown two
suits Diamonds must suit him better.
This inference proved to be correct
as b won the game at no-trump. led
one round of hearts and then three
rounds OF diamonds made his Ave
club tricks, which forced Y to discard
his last heart in order TO protect the
spades Y covered the ten of spades
with the king and made the last trick
Of all with the nine.
At the tables at which u did not mem
ton the diamonds. but went on with
the hearts, A helped the spades, bidding
two, which held the contract. Two by
cards was all that p could make. as u
made four tricks in the red suits at once
and then gave Y ruff on the third
round Of hearts.
hut while the original bidder should
never mention his supporting suit as long
a. he can rebd tho major suit, dummy
should avail himself of every opportu-
nifty to show just where the strength lies
on which he assists his partners bid,
There are probably no opportunities
which are so commonly missed as those
IN which the partner can indicate eN-
actly what he is assisting on, especially
when his side strength is in the suit
the opponents are bidding. The mis-
take made by many is in showing this
too soon.
Rule for Beginners.
The rule for the beginner is this: II
YOU can assist your partners suit. do
mat first II you show your support
first, you deny your partners suit. Here
is q good example:

SCHOOL FOR CARD PLAYERS.

During the play OF 10 trumper
A leads a club, to which his part
ner follows suit. but the declarer
does not. Later A gets in and leads an
other club to which his partner does
not follow suit, but the declarer does.
Having caught the declarer in a revoke
A turns tho trick quickly, saying moth
ing. On the next trick 1t develops that
AS partner revoked on the previous club
lead The declarer is set two tricks, but
bets II does not count, as B revoked. A
bets as both revoked it 10 standoff,
just as II neither had done so.
When both sides revoke the only score
permitted is for honors as held.
w. T. y. J. says A opens a Jack.
No one stays. What must he show and
why?
All I'VE cards. He has paid no more
to get those five cards than any other
player at the table. and they are en-
titled to see the fve that beats their
Ave. He cannot be said to have also
paid what he opened with. as no one
calls II, and he simply takes II down

MURDER COMES HIGH

Would you take chance on the rope for real dough?''
 This startling interrogation, hurled by the Hon" Thomas Dolan at one of his protection money" collectors, leads to one of the most thrilling in cidents in "Honor's Cross" a Selex- art production teeming with thrills, to be distributed by Goldwyn.
 Dolan, a corrupt political leader who had Iong lived on the proceeds Of vice, Is stunned by the news that the district attorney has raided some places under Dolan's supposed pro- lection. Desperate, he turns to his aid in crime. who has brought word Of the raids, and delivers himself of the startling question as calmly as though killing prosecutors was an ordinary function for thieNing pol ttician's assistant.
 After a moments thought Dolan's lieutenant is seen holding his head in assent. but makes his chief under stand that though he can hire q. man to murder it must be at the slayer's price Fearful lest he be overheard, polan writes "S2o.O0O' as the pay ment for the murder. Knowing he has DoIan at his mercy his slave in crime is shown penciling 1850, ,000' as his price. Without the slightest ar gument Dolan agrees to the figures, adding that he wants the job done quickly.
