By Hannah Mitchell

H~HE jargon of the movies has
adopted a new phrase. That
a is, it is new to the movies
but old in every household
in the land. This new expression
which is becoming so popular with
up-to-date motion picture people is
the simple, homely old phrase
"cleaning house"
The prime house cleaners in
every land are, of course, the wom-
en. From moving all the furniture
about in the house and making their
families generally uncomfortable to
their recent questionnaires and de-
mands of public declarations from
politicians, large and small, women
show a genius for cleaning up
everything they are Interested in.
Whatever the other and more
complicated language Of the studios,
this house-cleaning business is one
that all persons can understand and
in which they can all have a part.
There have been various and desul-

lis Value TO Exhibitors


This censorship, which is a term,
by the way, strongly opposed by the
members Of the Vi. p. T., viii in the
first place mean something to the
exhibitors. Many Of these men who
~un motion picture houses through
out the country have no way Of
knowing exactly what q picture is
before they receive it and it is pro
iected IN their own theaters. The
claim is made that the publicity
agents Of some Of the motion picture
producers are none too accurate in
their descriptions of the pictures to
be released. In q case where the eX-
hibitor receives a picture VII ch is
not what he wants th.re are two
things to choose between-not show
ing it, and thereby losing the money,
or running it and facing the protests
made By his clientele. In small
towns especially the blame is at
'ached to the person nearest at hand.
The audience hlames the exhibitor
for showing pictures they consider
OBJ ectionablo.
The road to any kind Of improve
ment is long, and often many juno
tens must be passed which would

Question-The declaration is no
trump, and the opening lead is d small
diamond, dummy holding three TO the
ace, and the declarcr four to the king
jack-ten. Dummy also holds SIX hearts
to the ace-king-quecn, two rags in the
other suits; the declaier having three
hearts to the Jack, nothing in clubs.
The leader has bid spades, bat did not
open them. Should dummy play ace or
small?-A. A. W. NJ.
Answer-Let the lead come up to the
tenacc over tAc queen. With four dia-
monds in sight and six hearts, game is
certain. How the hand came to be
played at no-trumps instead Of hearts
is not clear. Dummy had a great take
out.
Question-Looking at your answer to
j. II. G.. last week, what would be the
rule if the lead was called from dummy
and dummy led the queen, bat the de-
clarer did not take up the ace. which
was led out Of turn? That is, if the

answer There seems to be no rca-
son why the Geclarer should not take
up the ace. There is no penalty against
HIM for exposing cards, and it can
hardly be asserted that the card was
played to the current trick, just because

TIME down-and-out echo, show
ing the ability to ruff the third
round of a suit, is obviously
useless except in playing against
trump contracts. The come-on card,
sometimes called the encouraging
card, on the contrary, may be used
against any declaration. Many
players do not wait for the com
pletion Of the echo if the first card
that falls from their partner is
higher than a six, and several smaller
cards are missing, SO that they a
infer the beginning Of an echo.
This is against no-trumpers chief
~, but there is a very common mis-
take made by beginners and I'M
taught players in confusing the two
things, showing no more Of a suit
and encouraging the partner TO 90
on with it. Whether it is a trump
contract or a no-trumper, they play
down-and-out with only two small
cards Of their partners suit, with
the idea Of showing they have no
snore Of it.
This is entirely wrong and very
confusing to a good partner. The
tactics of playing against no-trump-
ers are in many things widely sepa-
rated from the tactics employed
against d trump suit. In defending
yourself against a trump the chief
consideration is to get in your aces
and kings, and to ruff early if there
is a chance. In playing against no.
trumpers the object is to make some
tricks with your small cards, as the
majority IF the aces and kings are
with the declarer.
These small cards may be made good
for tricks in two ways. You may be
able To catch all the intermediate
cards with ne tops, or you may be
able n force the declarcr to give up
the hi1h cards and leave you with
the dregs Of an established suit.
Then all you want is d |reentry.
In carrying OUT this schemc Of
things the partner is a very i'm
portant element. 1t is his duty to
inform the leader, az far az lies
within his power, II the distribution
~ his suit: hon many are in third
haad, and ~ subtraction, how many
the declarer holds. He should also
inform the leader AZ closely ~ posi-
bic what high cards arc IN the third
hand.
This ia accomplished by what Is
called the piain-suit echo ut no.

When you make no attempt 10 win
your partner's trick always play

on anything hat would have been "A
free no-trump call.-H. c.
Answor-The standard among care
full players is two good honors in each
OF the suits not doubled, with length
enough to stand a takc-out on four
cards. Against no-trumpcrs there is
no standard. 1t is all a gamble as to
whether the third or fourth hand has
the rest Of the cards. In a suit double
you have three suits against one. In
doubling no-trumps it is three to three,
with the disadvantage of the lead.

Question-A player asks for a card.
but is given two by mistake. When he
picks up the first one he sees the Other
and pushes it back to the dealer, tell
ing him he asked for one only. AS the

the run of the cards continued, what
should be done with the extra card laid
off by mistake p c. NJ.
Answcr-It belongs to the player that
asked for one card and picked up one
and makes his hand foul. The rule is
that any part Of a hand picked up and
ookcd at makes the entire hand the
property Of the player. The one who
asked <or a card should have counted
