DRAW POKER

Question-Playing deuces wild, no
joker, bets royal flush is better
than five Of kind. How is this bet
to be settled? HI.
Answer-Tke rank of poker hands is
settled by the difficulty of getting
them. AS five of kind cannot be
made without a deuce, there are only
II natural fours, with any one of
:he deuces to fill them to s
of a kind. That is 48 eases. There are
AZ natural triplets using two deuces
six different ways to fill; 28S cases.
There ere 72 pair, using deuces in
a ways to fill, 288 more cases Then
there are AZ single cards using all
four deuces to fill, 48 cases; total, 692.
There are 40 natural straight fushes,
royal flush being only name for
the highest in rank of these. Of these
40, there are SO without a deuce, leav-
ing all four deuces to run wild. USING
one deuce to replace any of the five
cards, we get deuces 5 vx,-s, ~ GO
times 81 finishes, $40 cases Using
two deuces ways to replace cards
10 ways, we get 60 ways to change 80
Pushes, 1920 cases. Using 3 deuces 4
ways to replace cards 10 ways we
get 20 ways to change 81 flushes, 1886
cases. Finally, using all 4 deuces, leav-
ing only l card IN each OF the 81
tiushes, we get take-outs in 80, OF
100 cases; total. 1000.
The remaining straight fiushes
must have deuce, leaving only three
to run wild. Using one of the tc
rel lace any of cards, we get Ii
changes in fushes, 100 cases. Using
2 deuces in 5 ways to replace 2 cards
taken out in 10 ways, we get 80 times
s. or 240 cases. Using all three deuces
to replace 3 cards taken out in 1C
different ways, we get so cases in s
hushes. Total, 40, This gives 4,4sC
against Coz five of kind.

AUCTION BRIDGE

Question-The dealer bids two dia-
monds on seven to the queen, five clubs
to the jack, and one spade. A bets
that this is not diamond call at any
score. w. F.. G..
Answer-1be only possible excuse
for such bid would be that the hand
WAS two-suiter, and that the dealer
was going to call the clubs if he did
not find any support for his diamonds;
but in tina. case the original call
should be one diamond only. The two
bid i'll the minor suits is obsolete;
having heen shown to be one of the
worst opening bids in the game. The
object is to show myth without
any strength, very dangerous disclos-
Gle to give an adversary in a bidding
game.
Quest;cn-B has to discard and
sheds an eight, the first of that suit
shown. 1t is contended that on getting
into the lead BIS partner should lead
his top heart, in answer to the discard
of high heart, and that this rule ap-
Plies whether the contract is with a
trump or without. S. S. r.
Answer-A good deal depends on
what is in the dummy, what the leader
+ olds himself, and the previous play.
The discard of anything higher than
six simply shows protection; it does
not demand a lead. If the eight had
been followed by smaller card dis
card in the same suit, that would de-
mand a lead; but not necessarily the
highest.
Question-During the progress of
the play one of the pair opposed to
the declarer remarks that the one
who is dummy should have played the
hand, as that player first named the
winning declaration. What should be
done in such a case? Nj. IT.
Answer-There is no mention of this
IN the laws; but as the adversaries
led to the wrong hand they are guilty
OF contributory negligence and cannot
change matters after the first trick.

wv 7HEN the suit double was
" first introduced to the card
W playing world it was re-
stricted entirely to bids Of one.
This was because a player who
started out with a bid Of two or
three was supposed to have an in
vincible hand and there was little
chance of going game against him
in any other declaration.
Time and experience proved that
this view of the situation was too
pessimistic and that the player who
started out with an original bid Of
two in any suit usually had nothing
but that suit. Preemptive bids of
three or four in one major suit
came gradually to be looked upon
as betraying a fear of the other
major suit.
The chief objection to doubling
original bids of two or three now
adays is that the partner will have
to go SO high that he may fall down
on the contract. The double forces
him to bid something, or the double
Of a two-bid in spades, for instance,
if left in, will give the declarer the
game, even if he, makes nothing but
his contract. On the other hand, If
the answer to the double is to call q
suit of four to the nine, it may be
difficult to make three-odd, and if it
is a minor suit, game will be almost
impossible. Good players do not
care for few points, and will not
bid against a player who cannot go
gan.e unless they can go game them
selves. There is nothing in it. To
push him up is idle, if he is a good
player, because if he is strong
enough to go up he will do so will

lection to doubling original bids oi
two, any more than bid of one. It
all comes down to the old principle
of all bidding; if you think there is
a chance to make game, why not bic

for it.

out, that the answer may be on such
a weak suit that effort is wasted

Royalty's Personal Property

In Austria, on the contrary, every
thing, including the country, was
considered personal property of the
monarch. AS in Hungary, this came
to expression in legal nomenclature.
The Kingdoms, dukedoms and prin-
cipalities composing the Austrian
Empire proper were designated
Hereditary Provinces" The status
Of the imperial crown was totally
different from that of the royal
crown Of Hungary. In the latter
country after the death of the ruler
his successor could not, in the strict
constitutional sense, exercise regal
power until he was crowned with
the Crown of st. Stephen and had
taken the oath to uphold the basic
law. In Austria, on the other hand,
there was no coronation ceremony
at all, the heir to the throne sue
ceeding automatically in the moment
Of his predecessor death.
The character of the Austrian i'm
perial crown as personal property of
the sovereign was indicated by the
fact that, together with the other
regalia, it was kept not in a state
building, but in the private treasury
Of the reigning house, officially de-
scribed as the Treasure Chamber of
the Most Serene Imperial House OF
Hapsburg-Lorraine. Situated in the
heart of Vienna, this building, which
before the war could be inspected by
the public like museum, housed one
of the most astounding collections of
gems, jewelry and other objects of
value in the world. It was, indeed
livaled only by tie treasure vaults
OF the late Romanoff dynasty.

burgs was the product Of long his

Diamond Roses

The so-called rose collier was
formed by thirteen roses, all dia-
monds, and was ornamented by
eleven solitaire pendeloques- This
collier, together with pair Of bril-
liant earrings, was the wedding gift
to Maria Theresa from her mother
in-law, the Duchess Of Lorraine.
The largest diamond in the Haps-
burg collection was the sso-called
Florentine, of pale yellow color,
weighing 1873 1-5 carats. This gem
was among the property demanded
in the peace treaty by Italy under
the reparation clauses.
Among the other treasures pre-
served in the Vienna "Schatzkam-
mer" the greatest interest attached,
probably, to the regalia Of the Holy
Roman Empire, consisting of q
crown, sometimes enormously called
the Crown of Charlemagne, imperial
globe, two scepters, sword and sew

The Imperial Apple

The imperial globe, or apple, was
made in 1907 of gold and orna-
mcuted like the crown, The scep-
ter was, on the first glance, similar
to the crown and globe in workman
ship and ornamentation, but hailed,
however, from another master and
dated from the year 1912.
Next to the regalia proper were
included in the section of private
jewelry a number of insignia of the
various imperial orders, all richly
jeweled and possessing individual
histories, some of them represent
ing veritable fortunes in themselves.
Thus there was cross of the

If B will not risk no-trun,ps, b.
must call the longest suit, clubs, and
work for fve-odd to go game. At
one table B decided to do this, on
the chance that his partner might
have only one spade, or none at sIl
(as q was so long,, and therefore
could ruff spades.
The curious thing about this dis.
tribution is that B could go game at
either call, no-trumps or clubs; but
that if he leaves the double alone z
will make four by cards in spades
and four honors in one hand, scor.
ing 419 points, for two over a
doubled contract.
The play at no-trump was rather
interesting. z led the spade kline
and B won the first trick. Instead
of leading the clubs, which might
require a finesse, 3 started with q
small diamond, to feel out rs side
cards. This made it easy for him
to make four diamond tricks, get
ting four heart discards from z.
Then, reading z for a possible guard
III clubs, B led a small ore ant

When that held he made his fifth
diamond in dummy, discarding
heart and losing a trick to the king
of hearts at the end, little SIAN.
This player took a big risk on The
club finesse; others being satisfied
to make five diamonds, two clubs, a
heart and Il spade, just three-odd
and game.
The curious thing about this hand
was that at one table A die not
double the spade, but called three
diamonds and won the game. In
this contract he was not afraid Of
the spades, as he could ruff that
suit. We leave the reader until neSi

wv YHo is the rightful owner Of
" the Austrian crown jewels? !?


The question, so it seems,
will have to be settled by the courts /;
for the treasures are claimed both
by the ex-Enreror Charles in his
Swiss exile and by the government
Of the Austrian Republic.
Both claimants have their strate-
gle advantages in the legal battle
that-as it was recently announced
in the session Of the finance COM
niittee of the Austrian National
Council--will soon be started by the
Vienna government. Charles, who
may not be great monarch, but
seems to be q clever enough business
man, is in possession--he took good
care, In the days Immediately pre-
ceding his downfall, to gather in his
valise, then in the process of prep
aration for an extended weekend
excursion, as much Of the contents
Of the imperial treasure chamber as
possible.
As Austrian Assets
On the other hand, the Austrian
Republics title is backed by the
peace treaty, which regards the
crown jewels as the property, not OF
the House Of Hapsburg, but Of the
Austrian State, counting them as
assets against reparation claims.
Austrian historical and legal ira.
dition, it would appear, lends it's sup.
port to the side Of the ex-Emperor
for throughout Austrian history the
treasures in question have been or
record as the private property OF
the imperial house.
This refers even to the iInperia
crown itself. The Austrian inter.
probation is directly opposite to the
Hungarian, for in the other half Of
the Dual Monarchy the royal crown
called the Crown of St. Stephen, has
for thousand years been identified
with the sovereignty of the state
was, in fact, the supreme symbo
and depository of royal power. Il
might be said that in Magyar lega
theory the ruler, far from owning
his crown, was owned by it. The
official name of the Hungarian
realm was "The Lands of the Grown
