LONDON. June H. America has 20

come sas q distinct shock to ) -staid
) Britishers to learn that the divorce
courts In London are turning out. de-
arees at the, rate OF one every seven
and a half minutes working time.
Further. there Is a waiting list OF
some 38O0 persons seeking divorces.
when the Judges have time TO snare.
The British divorce court IL part OF
the High Court of Justice, headouar.
tered In London. and .The Probate.
Divorce and Admiralty. Division. as It
Is called. is run by Sir Henry Duke,
President OF the Division, and two
High Court judges. One of these is
always required for Admiralty or Pro.
bate (wills) cases. so that hitherto
there has hardly ever been more than
two courts working at the same time.
British High Courts sit from 10 To 4
/ p. m. week days except Saturday, and
the. intervals between the various law
terms are lengthy. So tremendous haa
become the Congestion that strenu,
Gus measures have had to be adopted.
Wherever possible spare judges have
been loaned from the Kings Bench
Court, the Lord Chief Justice and even
the Lord Chancellor have lent a hand
working on Saturdays as well. Lord
Birkenhead was the first Lord Chan
cellor to tackle divorce cases.
Lord Mersey, the retired octogena-
rian law lord, and one of England's
greatest divorce judges, also, came
out of his retirement and volunteered
to lend hand, dlsposing of cases
with astonishing speed. Now as many
as six or seven courts are grinding
outsdivorces at an unprecedented rate.
Justice Hill recently broke all records
by "unmarrying" 1873 couples in one
minute. He accomplished this by
taking his entire list of decree nisis"
(The final divorce decree after the
statutory period of six months from
the trial, when the divorce is pro,
nounced absolute" and pronouncins
them absolute in one bunch, after
the clerk had read out the names.
The divorce courts have never
worked very rapidly, and were .usu-
ally in arrears in pre-war days but
the. dissolution of marriages is attrib-
uted to the fading of war-romances,
the huge proportion of "undefended"
cases proving the failure of many
hasty war weddings. The process OF
"unmarrying" is expensive in Eng
land, the cheapest "undefended" suit
costing over fifty pounds. In the case
OF very poor people, certificate may
be obtained enabling them to plead
I'm lorna papueris'' for about fifteen
pounds.
The fac THAT there were over 1000
cases in the last term list pf6ved very
disturbing to the clergy and social
workers and it has been alleged that
such a system makes divorce too
easy. On the other hand a very
strong body Of public opinion insists
that British divorce laws are too com
plicated and distinctly unfair on the
wife. A divorce is, far from being
easy for wife to obtain, IL being nee
essary to prove cruelty, or desertion,

the no-trumper or his partner would surely
have some of the high cards, and would there
fore not be afraid to go back to no-trumps,
expecting that suit to be led
A typical case would be such hand as six
diamonds to the ace-king-que with the king
and two small clubs. By calling two clubs
the no-trumrer is induced to 50 on, and then
the six tricks in diamonds make, unless the
declarer or dummy has four to the jack or
ten, and the no-trumper is down one, with
chance to go down two or three, if the club
king makes, Or the leaders partner has trick
anywhere.
The play that met this attack was the re-
fusal of the third hand to assist the no.
trumper, and the formulation of the principle
that a no-tramper should never be assisted
unless the third hand also had -trumper.
If the third hand could stop the declared suit
twice he should double; not bid two no. -trumps.
This double effectually killed the bid, because
the second hand then had to go on and bid two
or three in his real suit. That is, he had to
shift. Against weak players, who do not
know enough to double, and who are in the
habit of assisting no-trumpers, the shift is still
a very effective weapon.
AT contract the shift is much more likely
to be effective, because of the anxiety of most
players to go game and the impossibility of
going game unless they bid game. The bluff
also has the great advantage that it is not
necessary to make the shift even if the bluff
call is doubled, because as long the oppo-
nents are not playing the hand they canrct 60

forward and, though he did not loosen the
rope, whipped it out of the hands of the men
and knocked several of them fiat; then he
caught one man, who had not been able to get
out of the way, and wrapped the lower part of
his body around him, while five or six feet of
his tail still lashed about with the rope I

Queries and AnstUers
AUCTION BRIDGE

Question-If revoke is made by the op-
ponents of the declarer when does the de-
clarer announce it? May dummy announce
if the declarer does not do SO? If the de-
clarer revokes when do the opponents an
nounce it? Y. U.
Answer-The declarer may announce that
he will claim the penalty for a revoke, as soon
the trick is turned and quilted, as this es-
tablishes the revoke. He may notify his ad-
end of the hand. 1t is usual to announce it
at once, while it is fresh in the minds of the
players; but crafty players say nothing, hop
Ing the revoke may be repeated. Dummy
may call attention to revoke only when he
has not overlooked the hand of either adver-
sary. The opponents may call a revoke on
the deciarer at any time after the trick IS
turned and quilted.
QUESTIONABLE dealer bids a spade second
hand two clubs; third hand passes. The
fourth hand holds seven hearts to the ace
queen-ten. What should he say? C. q. N.

neck and grabs the rag. He cannot pull his
hand out while it is doubled up with the rag

MONG the many calls, conventional
~ and otherwise, there is one which IS
- very seldom used now, although it
was at one time quite popular and
seems to have come to the surface again at
contract bridge, and that is bid known as
the shift.
The shift is SO named because when the
bidder finds his scheme to push the opponents
up a bit and then defeat their contract does
not work, he has to shift. The theory If the
bid is that while a contract to make one no.
trump may easily succeed, IL the contract
could be pushed to two notrumps it would
surely fail, because the leader has six certain
tricks in his own hand before he loses the
lead
1t is very important that every one who
aspires to be bridge player should know
this shift, for reasons which will appear pres
emily. The typical situation is when the
player to the left of the no-trumper has
cne solid suit, which must be the suit in which
The no-trumper has little or nothing. BY sit
ting tight and leading this suit, six tricks are
sure; but that does not do anything further
than hold the bidder down to his contract, one
no-trump
To push him beyond his depth, coaxing him
to bid two no-truGips, is therefore the play
But to call the solid suit is to put the
trumper out of the question at once. Such
call would serve only to warn the no-trumper
that it was hopeless, and would either drive
aim into safer contract or give him the
option of letting the second hand have the
play with his six-card suit.
In order to meet this situation some in
genous individual evolved the idea of over
Ealing the no-trumper with some suit in which

game. On the rubber game the sacrifice is
often worth while.
There is also the chance, slight as it is, that
the buffers partner may have something in
the suit called and that the loss will not be so
great after all. At contract the shift puts the
no-trumper in a bad position in rubber game,
which is worth 800 points. He has to guess
whether the secondhand call is genuine or not.
Here is an interesting example:

Since leaving Singapore | had
been thinking constantly of be-
coming dealer in animals. The
more | considered the idea, the
more it appealed to me. I was
becoming tired of circus life, es-
pecially since my work did not
bring me into contact with the
animals. On my return to New
York I found Gaylord and told
him about my plans. He en-
couraged me and introduced me
to many men was glad to know,
such as Donald Burns, who was
dealer and had store in Roose-
velt Street.
1t was in April, 1887, that left
New York on the steamship Glen
derrie. | outfitted in London while
We lay over there
When reached Singapore I be-
gan to learn the Malay language,
which is spoken with some varia-
tions of dialect throughout the
archipelago.
I called on Mahommed Arif ev-
cry day and learned as much as
possible about the ways and means
by which he carried on his busi-
ness. Eventually / proposed to
him that he let me act as his
agent in interviewing the captains
of some of the boats that called
at the port. He agreed to my plan,
but there was quick falling out.
For the time being all deals
with Mahommed Ariff were off, of
course, and so I had to look else
where for business. | induced q
Malay hadji, who had made a pill
grimage to Mecca, to take me to
his home at Palembang, in the ISL
and of Sumatra. The vision of
securing more business, without
being robbed constantly by Ma
hommed Ariff, brought him around
to my proposition, and we went to-
gether to the Dutch Consul Gen.
eral in Singapore. told the Con-
sui General my plans, and, after
had presented references from
the bank, he gave me a passport
and a personal letter to the Dutch
Resident at Palembang. Then the
old hadji and started off for
Sumatra.
A native came running to the
hadji's house one day with the
news that he had seen big snake.
Before we went out for the
snake l told each man what he
was to do, explaining carefully
how I intended to get the snake
into the crate. When I was sure
that they understood we started
into the jungle, led by the native
who made the discovery. I was
surprised to find the largest snake

tricks before he loses the lead.
Had the hearts been doubled, A would not
have shifted, but let it stand and would have
been set only $50. But had been awake and
doubled the three-spade bid z would have seen
through the scheme of AS bidding and called
the diamonds At diamonds he can win the
rubber, losing one club, one trump and getting
heart discard on the fourth spade Had the
three spades been left in A would have had to
shift. He can make two-odd in clubs by max
ing heart trick This would have set him
only $50, even if doubled on his bid of four.
Here is the solution of Problem No 81, CIV
en- last week, in which hearts were trumps z
to lead, and " to make all the tricks:
2 starts with the top club, A covers and
trumps. then leads the ten of trumps, on
which discards the jack of diamonds, A

must discard a diamond, or can establish
the clubs by letting trump the jack Z and
both discard spades
When Y leads the spade-A~nust discard

a club, Y trumps it and leads the diamond.
The ace of diamonds and the long club are
good.
Several overlooked the Importance of the
original high club lead which is to provide for
the possibility of the club ten discard at trick
three. It is easier to establish the seven and

head into the end of the crate.
When the rope was secured we
fastened another rope about the
middle of him.
The snake lashed furiously,
knocking several of the natives
down. Stationing a crew of men
at the tail-rope to slacken it as
we moved froward, / took the
others to the crate and set them
at pulling on the middle rope. AS
we dragged the python forward
he coiled in the crate; then, when
he was half in, we secured the
middle rope and head-rope to
trees, passed the tail-rope through
the crate and dragged the tail in.
In Singapore found an agent Of
Gross, of Liverpool, and sold the
snake to him for $500 (Mexican),
which was considered a banner
price. ! was glad to have the
opportunity Of making myself
known to the agent, because I
foresaw future commissions. He,
like many others, was tired of
doing business with Mahommed
Ariff, who took every possible
advantage of his customers, and
he was pleased to find white
man in the field of collecting.
We recrated the python and
shipped him off to Liverpool,
after feeding him twelve ducks
each day for five days. With that
stomachful he could last out the
entire voyage and arrive in Eng
land with a good appetite.
The hadji's nephew, Ali, be-
came my devoted servant. He was
about twenty years old and far
more intelligent than the aver

sourceful - qualities that made
him my most valuable aid until
he was killed during one of our
expeditions several years later.

not from death. We were break

as black leopard sprang. Ali's

explosive bullet. Ali's spear hit

A favorite method Of hunting

lage made from the gum of tree.
In catching tigers or leopards the
hunter spreads out the birdlime
