There are some variations of the
conventional double which are but
little known and therefore seldom
used. This is partly due to the fact
that the niceties of the convention
are too deep for the average player
and partly to the fact that they may
not be correctly understood.
One of these is the double of a
suit after having denied or assisted
the partners bid. Take this case.
a spade; third hand, two hearts;
fourth hand and dealer. passing.
What has the third hand assisted
upon? The dealer may be able to
partner has helped him on strength
in a particular suit, say. diamonds,
as the dealer himself has clubs. But
it may be on ability to ruff some
thing. At least he has three or more
hearts. The second hand goes on to
two spades and the third hand doubles.
Now it is perfectly clear to- the
dealer that part of the strength that
assisted the hearts is a surS trick
in spades. or perhaps two tricks. 1t
is therefore up to the dealer to leave
the double alone and set the spade
contract, or TO go on with his hearts
if he thinks he can go game.
In this case the double is a half
and-half affair. 1t is willing to be
taken as a business double, well able
to defeat the spade contract, or to
be accepted as mint TO lno original
bidder to size up his chances of going
game in hearts, with the assistance
shown.
Another form of the double much
more used is when the dealers no
trumper is overcalled by an ask for
lead on his right, say, two spades.
If the dealer says nothing his part
ner should be very strong to put in a
bid, because if the dealer wants him
to bid he will double the two spades.
This says to the third hand: ct
have to drop my no-truuper unless
you can stop those spades twice. But
what have you got in hearts, or, fail
ing them, in a minor suit?"
In this case the dealer is not ask
ing his partner to support the no.
trumpef, except under the rather
improbable circumstances that he
could twice stop a named suit that
will be led thru him, or can stop it
once and has remarkable cards some
where else.
But there is another case in which
the double does not ask the partner
to support the dealers original call.
Suppose the dealer bids a spade and
second hand says two hearts. both
the other players passing. If the
dealer doubles the hearts he says
to his partner 'If you cannot sup
port my spades, what have you got?''
4 The usual answer is to call the
longest suit. But this is a mistake
if the long suit is a minor suit and
there is anything as good as average
in trumps. Take this hand:

NEED MORE ROOM
Topeka Ward Schools Crowded,
Says Superintendent Stout.
Funds for More Buildings Must
Be Raised in Near Future.

Topekans are now facing a serious
problem in the housing of the ward
school and Junior high school students,
according to A. j. Stout, supertnten-
dent of city schools. Overcrowded
conditions are found in all grade
schools of the city and it is impera-
tive that new buildings be erected in
the near future. he says. In order to
go forward with a building program
the funds must be raised in one of
three ways. Either by continuance
of the present building fund of two
mills, raised by direct taxation, by re-
vision of the state statutes in regard
to school taxes SO that more money
may be raised for the building fund.
or by bond issue. No definite step
has been taken in adjusting the situa-
ton thru any one of these three ways.
If no money is raised in addition to
the regular building fund of two mills,
the needed buildings cannot be com
pleted for more than five years.
New Building Needed in North Topeka
In North Topeka a new school
building is needed to relieve the con-
gestion in the Grant and Quincy
schools. The school board has pur-
chased property at the corner of Grant
and North Jackson streets, which
would be suitable for a building site.
If a Junior high school could be erect
ed on this site, the housing situation
in North Topeka would be solved for
a number of years.
r On the east side a new building is
needed where the Parkdale school now
stands. This probably will be the next

The situation in this problem de-
mards some method of getting B to
discard before Y and the only way
to accomplish this is so TO arrange
matters that u can get rid CT the
king of clubs. In this respect the
problem somewhat resembles. No. 100.
z starts with the deuce of clubs.
Y wins whatever A plays and leads
two rounds of trumps. On the first of
these z discards the club king; on the

Rearrange Some Schools.
A Encouragement of the grades in
the Clay, Potwin and Sumner schools
was neeessitated at the beginning of
this term because of the crowded con-
ditions in the first grades. Between
fifty and sixty children were enrolled
in the primary rooms of these schools.
By the new Arrangement many oLithe
children must walk long distances to
go TO school which has seating space
for them. If a building could be

Underwood avenue, the housing prob

Bowfnan schools would be solved.
The playground problem also con-
fronts the parents in, Topeka. Many
years ago property which could have
been purchased at a very low price
for playground purposes was not taken
and as the vacant lots of the city have
filled in, parents are demanding more
playground space for the children.
Playground sites have been purchased
within the last five years at the
Quincy, Mckinley, Lowman, Lincoln
and State Street schools. These have
proved insufficient, but more play
ground sites cannot be purchased with
the present building fund.
1.-THE situation is one which must
be faced squareIy by the parents. 1t
concerns their children and their
schools and they are the ones to de-
eide what is to be done to improve
the present situation Mr.. Stout said.

This double says to B: You did not

The mistake made by three play
ers to whom this situation came up
was to bid the diamonds. But the

never forget that the object of all
bidding is to get game-gOing con-
tract Two players who understood
two spades, showing that they had
enough to have supported spades in
the first place, had they had any
thing outside. The double says:
Never mind about the outside if
you have some spades"
The bidding at this table was car
ried to four spades over four hearts,
1t is a game hand in hearts, as q
gets n club discard on the diamonds.
1t is also a game hand in spades if
the trumps are not led too often.
Here is how it went at four spades:
A got the first trick with the ace
Of hearts and put dummy In with

Not knowing A was out OF hearts,

SITUATION IN ENGLAND MOST
 SERIOUS NOW
Premier Understood to Be Holding Resignation
 Of for Time.
LOYALTY TO COALITION GOVERNMENT DEMANDED
Friends Assert Lloyd George Ready to Quit Chaos 7
 to Follow.

LONDON, March 6. Premier Lloyd George, after an hours con- ference yesterday with Lord Birken- head, Lord High Chancellor, and Winston Churchill, Secretary for Colonies, decided to hold his offer to resign in abeyance.
 The resignation has not been withdrawn, it is said, and the Brit ish Premier still awaits assurances of continued loyalty of the Unionist Party to the coition government.
 It was stated this afternoon that within a day or two at the most the world will know definitely whether Premier Lloyd George will resign This is the only substantial convic- tion emerging from the tangle of contradictory rumors in the crisis which is expressing the political observers.
 Friends assert the Premier will gladly quit and if he holds on it will be only because he recognizes the chaos which will follow his resignation.
 David Lloyd George has been British Premier since December z, 1916.

DRY SWEDEN IS NOW PROPOSED;
 CLEARING WAY
Prohibitionists Intro ducing Bills to Make Whole
 Country Dry.

STOCKHOLM, March 6.-Advo- cates of prohibition in Sweden have introduced several bills in parliament intended to clear the way for mak ing the country wholly dry or al least dry in spots.
 Both houses of parliament have adopted a bill authorizing the gov ernment to submit to a general con sultative referendum the prohibition question or any other on which the parliament desires popular vote.
 It is understood. however the gov ernment will not ask parliament for prohibition referendum in this ses- sion.
 As the referendum is only consulta- tive, the approval of parliament will be necessary to enact it's decision into law
 One measure introduced in the Rigsdag would confef power upon municipalities to prohibit the sale of alcoholic liquors.
 The experience of the United States under the prohibition amend. ment is being watched closely by both "wets" and "drys' and both sides of the campaign to outlaw John Barleycorn are making use'of reports from America.
 Sweden is now under a rationing system limiting the amount of in toxicants any person may purchase in any month
