NHERE still exists a certain amount Of
confusion and uncertainty in the
L minds of many players as to the limi-
tations of the modern conventional
double. To Wilbur C. Whitehead, in his "Auc-
uon Bridge Standards" belongs the credit of
having been the first to put the matter in
dehnlte shape and to state the rule for each
OF the situations in which the partner may
have to Judge just what the double means.
The first part of the Whitehead rule is to
unit the number of tricks to be doubled to
Ohe IN no-trump or three in suit, II the object
oi the doubles is to ask bid from partner.
DOUBLING a bid of two or more at no-trumps,
lOur or more in suit, is to be understood as
having penalties for it's object.
TIE second part of the rule is very i'm
portant one, which is that if the double is not
made at the first opportunity it means busi-
ness Suppose the dealer bids heart, second
Aand spade and the dealer goes to two
ae2rts If the spade hand doubles he means
BUSINESS as he did not double the hearts be-
'Ofe he bid the spades.
Many persons get confused in such situa-
nons owing to the way they look at them
roF sample Some players imagine that the
Hfst bid, overcallirg the no-trumper, was made
IN the hope that it would land the contract
aac that The double was to@force the partne-
. bid something else if he could not help the
suit first bid This is a p,etsho. The return
V '-trumps sl-ou tiar .he game in the suit IS
aopelcss, - tne eiounler thinks he has enough
'' set the no-trumper and means business.
IN apparently similar situation, which fre-
epently leads to the confusion Of the two, is
~.en the DEALER bids a suit and the second
payer declares something. If the dealer
uouoies he wants his partner to bid, because
@e IS donalns at the first opportunity.
me tnlrd part OF the rule is not so often
overlooked, but in some cases the partner IS
.0o nasty. For example: The dealer bids
ei"nond, second hand two hearts, which the
ueaiers partner doubles. A hasty view OF the

lies in their opening the way to let in some
strong secondary bids by those who have
passed. Good players consider six tricks, and
three suits stopped, about the minimum for a
fourth hand bid.
PINOCHLE
Question-We have been playing with the
same pack for an hour or more before it is
discovered that it contains only one jack of
hearts and three mines. Is the whole game off,
or only the deal in which we find the pack is
wrongful. M.
Answer-Only the deal in which the imper-
feet pack is proved is void. All previous deals

Hannah Pinkerton Recovering

Hannah Pinkerton,- the 11-year
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. P.
Pinkerton, who has been critically
ill, is improving. Her serious con-
dition followed an attack of Quinsy
from which she seemed to be doing
all right, when. an infection of the
throat developed. An abscess form
ed at the root Of the tongue, and her
condition became very alarming Sat
urday evening. An operation seemed
the one chance of saving her life. DR..
Melick of GAINESVILLE was summoned.
Hannah was just about to be moved
to the Community hospital Sunday
about noon, when the abscess broke
following constant pOulticing
throughout the night and morning.
Her condition began to improve al
most Immediately. DR.. Melick was
on his way here. He was met and
informed of the change for the bet
ter in her condition, so it was not
necessary for him to come on down.

BUILD HOMES

There are 425 new homes needed
in Morgan county. That is, this
many new houses must be built, ac-
cording to the estimates just made
by the United States Department of
Commerce, if every family in Morgan
county is to be properly housed. At
the present time one family in six
in this county is without its own
home Building, on the scale urged
by the Department of Commerce,
also would go along way toward
beating down high rents charged In
many places.
The above figures have been given
building and loan institutions, which
according to Secretary of Commerce
Hoover are the chief agencies for
home building, To build the num-
ber of homes needed in the entire
county will take about 81 100000
The assets of all the building and
loan institutions in this county are
$4,000 but nearly 100 per cent. of
these funds already are loaned on
homes and these financial institu-
tions at the present are handicapped
through insufficient funds in relieving
the shortage of house building funds
1.-The home shortage can only be
relieved by the placing Of savings in
institutions catering to home financ-
ing" according to James A, Devine,
secretary Of the Ohio Building
Association League.
Each community will benefit only
in turn as it puts its savings into
institutions that help to build home
towns" said Devine. Every right
ful effort should be made at this time
TO increase construction work es-
pecially in buildings OF the residen-
tial type Such activities not only
help alleviate the ills of inadequate
housing. but they will help general
business by providing employment
for men who are now idle and create
business for many lines of industry"

Received Yours Yet?

Within the past week or SO we
have sent out notices to many of
our subscribers who are in arrears.
The response to these notices has
been very gratifying, especially
when we consider the hard times.
Another feature most pleasing is
the fact that when readers receive
such notices they take them as a
matter of good business, and don't
fly out of humor, order their paper
stopped, ETC. Those in arrears, who
have not yet received notices, will
within the next few days. We have
always prided ourselves on the fact
that we have the best paid up list of
any weekly paper in the state and
we want to keep it that way.
