In palm-strewn triumph to ride.

Electrical Effciensy, What Does il
Mean?

Yes, What does Electrical Efficiency
really mean? What is the CONNER
cial efficiency of your city plant?
Any and all generating plants should
attain at least ninty-six per cent eff
cheney, and if they don't you should
investigate it at once.
Say, for instance, we were opera
ting an electric plant with capacity
of three hundred kilowatts, Zone K. w.
is equal to 1000 watts) then electri-
cal science teaches US that it will re-
quire an engine with 1889 horse pow
er to propell this generator at its
rated speed, what will be the eff
cheney of this plant? Since the gen
orator output is stated in watts we
reduce the horse power in-put to
watts also, and find TAG watts is
equivalent to one mechanical horse
power. Well if the engine that pro-
pells this generator is 418.9 H. P. In
order to find the number of watts in
the output we simply multiply the
H. P. by the watts, 418.9 H. P. times
TAG equals 312,50O watts of 1925 K.
w.
According to the standard text
book the simple rule for finding cleo
trical efficiency is, multiply the out
put by 100 and divid. the product by
the in-put. The generator has an
output of 300 K. w. so we thus find
the efficiency: Multiply 300 times
100 and divide this by the in-put
which is 1925 K. w. and you will
get ninty-six per cent efficiency. This
generator has an output of 300 K. w.,
so ties see how many watts this is,
as we said previously one K. w.
equals one thousand watts 81 we have
300 times 1000 equals 100000 which
is the number of watts that this ma
chine will deliver.
Again suppose there is one thous-
and globes in this city of equal capac-
ity, say 100 watts, and we were to
notify the consumers to leave them
switched on for a period of one hour;
we start our plant and let it run for
one hour, then we look at our plant
meters and see that they record one
hundred thousand.
Electrical energy is not sold by the
watt but by the kilowatt; now we
have 100000 w. H. divided by 1000,
and we also have the amount used in
kilowatts, the way it is sold. The
price of current here, as ! understand,
is twenty cents per 4. w. therefore
if you multiply the three hundred K.
w. used by the price charged (twen-
ty cents) you will see that during
the one hour that we operated the
plant we made and sold sixty dollars
worth of electrical energy. And lis

double is conventional If the partner
has not made bid, but when the con-
tract doubled is as high as this it is

]. C. L.
Answer-No. because the scoring is
precisely the same as in the ordinary
rubber, except in balancing the gains
and losses at the end. Easy aces count
nothing for either side.
Question--In playing contract auc-
tion does doubling affect the value Of
New-York tribune., 1921-04-10

Here is the solution to Problem
No. 48, given last week, in which
hearts were trumps, Y and z to win
all the tricks, with the lead.
z starts with a diamond, large or
small, which Y trumps with the
smallest heart. Y leads the club ten
and q wins. Now Y trumps another
diamond with the heart four and
leads the ace Of clubs, forcing B to
discard or trump.
If B discards the queen Of dia-
nionds, 2 sheds the ace of spades.
When Y leads the deuce of spades, B
must trump and z over-trumps, lead
ing trump through the king ten to
the ace-jack. If B trumps the club.
4 over-trumps, leads trumps and
makes the ace of spades at the end
New-York tribune., 1921-04-10

with the nine and AB again over
trumped, leading the fourth heart.
On this Y put the ace of trumps and
led the ten, which dummy covered
and Z won. Now z has to give
dummy diamond and two trump
tricks. This gives A and B two bv-
cards against simple honors. Y con-
graduates his partner on saving
that game!
If z rebids his hand, as he should,
A will be relieved from the duty of
taking out the double, as he has no
five-card suit, and the two-heart
contract will stand. That is what
they did at another table.
Then the play went this way: A
led a small spade. Dummy put on
the ace, returned the ten and ruffed
the third round. Then he led the
jack of trumps and A let it hold. A
small diamond, covered by the queen,
and the ace won. z then led trumps
and A won the second round, getting
the encouraging club seven discard
from B.
A club from A and the ace killed
the queen. B made his king of dia-
monds and led the small one, z get
ting in with the jack, pulling AS
trump and making the king of clubs,
four by cards and the game, with
four honors.
Instead of tie score, two tricks
against simple honors, z wins 189
points, the difference being entirely
due to his rebidding his hand over
the double on his right. 1t is curl
Gus that had A taken a chance on
no-trumps as an answer to the dou-
Bile he would have been set back
about four tricks, the hearts being
New-York tribune., 1921-04-10

Il dealt and bid heart, A and Y
passing. At two tables at which B
doubled, the result was to make an
astonishing difference in the score.
AT one Of them z passed the double
and A called one spade. Y did not
see any danger of losing the game at
spades, nor did he feel like going on
with the hearts if z had nothing but
the bid and B had no-trumper in
the other suits.
The play went this way. Y led
heart, and A let the trick 20 to
shorten dummy. Y led another
heart, which A won. The six of
clubs was covered by the queen, and
the return Of small club enabled
A to force the king with the ten.
This is good example of not lead
ing an honor to an honor without all
four. Many beginners make the
same mistake in leading jack to
the ace-qucs,n without the ten.
Y came back with the nine of
clubs, dummy putting on the jack.
Probably thinking A still had 4 small
club, q trumped with the trey and
was over-trumped with the five. A
led small heart and Y discarded a
losing club, dummy making little
trump.

When two players understand the
theory of modern bidding. they know
that if one bids suit and then re-
bids it, there are tricks in the hand
outside of the suit itself. The knowl-
edge of this outside strength NAV
enable the partner to locate it and
perhaps to use this knowledge to the
discontinue of the doublers.
When player who has some good
cards in his hand refuses to show
them, he should not complain if his
partner loses his confidence and lets
the opponent get a contract that
they have no business with. Here
is case in point:
