One simple rule with regard to answering
the double should be remembered by every
beginner. This is that what is wanted is a
so-called game-going bid hearts or spades.
Even with only four hearts or spades and
i've diamonds or clubs the answer should be
the major suit, because that is what the
doubler wants.
Some very interesting differences come up
IN the scores of deals made in duplicate that
start with no-trumps and get into double.
The hand below is one.

trumps. Now, A has no-trumper, but he
would like to know what his partners long
suit is, as that might be much better than
taking chance on two no-trumps, which was
the old way, or letting the no-trunlper alone
and leading to beat it, which is the safe wav.
So A doubles.
ihe double does not make it any more ex-
pensive for to do what he intended to do
IN any event, which is to bid two spades. but
1T does relieve B from the necessity of bid
ding as an answer to the double unless he has
hve-card suit, so he passes

America in the World courf

TT WOULD appear that America is absa
to appoint an American to the WcE
Court organized under the League Of NatiOs
We have sent observer delegates with great
powers but no audible voice who sit ii var

We are so obviously in sympathy with al
that the league hopes to do that Eurepe
must wonder. what holds US out Of the leasue
Many Americans also share the wonder of
the Europeans who cannot see why We remain
aloof. But evidently the Harding Admins
tration fears European discord And 50
violent has that discord become that Il does
present a danger which Mr.. Wilson did not
face in 1919 and which the Senate hssay
faced in 1920. We did what we could 70
unsettle part Of the world when we made
separate peace with Germany Time and TIE
Versailles Treaty shave done for the rest
1t is miserable mess. The golden moment
when America might have led an organizes
world to a fixed habit of peace passed in lsls
when the delegates to the peace conference
at Paris got in their unholy WORK. Greec
suspicion and hate have replaced the exalt
ton that followed the armistice. So about
all we Americans can do to-day is to hang
around the edges of the world melee and with
observers at various conferences enc
judges in world courts and at odd diplomatic
times and places pull out such brands fror
the world on fire as we may think we csr
save for peace. Unless, of course, we should
plunge in and trust to some miracle of faith
in our sincerity to save us all in the roass
and tumble on the brim of the abyss. And I
may take a miracle yet.

Prohibition in the Election

I'm THE matter of prohibition, the results
indicate little. In Ohio, the Constitutional
amendment, lthorizing light wines and beer,
was defeated, In Illinois, where only an ad-
visory vote was taken and, where the drys
asked all friends of prohibition not to vote
because the vote was only advisory light wine
and beer won. In California bone-dry en-
forcement law lost. But even with the defeat
Of Volstead himself the Volstead act seems to
be in no serious danger as the result of the
election. Congressman from the West are for
prohibition, those from the East are against it,
and there are more Westerners than Eastern
ers The balance of political power in the
country clearly has shifted west of the Allie
ghanies.
Two years ago Congressman Madden
thought he had worked out Congressional
majority east of Chicago and north of the
Ohio. That hope has been fading for eighteen
months. 1t is doused glimmer to-day. The
dry West still has majority over the wet
East.

Question-Playing two hand, if the last
card picked up by the winner of the trick,
who is still in the lead, makes eighty kings,
is it too late to meld them?-H L. B.
Answer-Yes. The law requires him to
meld before drawing his card from the stock.
Question--In two hand, we are told that
a player can meld any combination he holds.
such as marriage, and meld dix at the same
time. Is this correct?-G. B. M.
Answer-No. The dix is meld, and as
only one meld is allowed at time, it must
be melded separately. Some players think It
is SO small, 10 points, that it does not matter.

The Farmer-Lobor Victory

W WAS the progressive who won in Tues
4 days election, the ultraprogressive In
-~ victory, he Is associated with the near
radical. The milk-and-water liberal con-
servative, or conservative-Iiberal, on whatever
ticket he ran, was either defeated or badly bat
tered by the electorate The utter scorn of
party names which The voters showed in de-
feating moss-back Republicans in state like
Michigan and electing progressive Republicans
in Wisconsin, indicates in what contempt the
people hold the two party organizations. Wher-
ever the people got good chance to vote for
a fairly well balanced radical, they did SO,
The people showed preference for the crack
brain.
The election proves that whatever this coun-
try is, it is not for the normacy of Mckinley,
not conservative, but militantly liberal. The
primaries disclosed the same thing The tide
of reaction has ebbed. A militant Republican

liberal Republican in Nebraska, Democrat

lican promising reform in Pennsylvania, Re-
publican radical in Iowa, Democratic radical
in Oklahoma, two progressive Democrats in
New York, another in Arizona Republican
progressive in North Dakota-and so all over
the Union. In some states the conservative
Democrats and Republicans united openly to
defeat liberal, as in North Dakota, Mime
sofa, Iowa, Oklahoma, Wisconsin and Wyo-
ming. The wallop that Massachusetts gave
Lodge would have been defeat if well
known liberal had opposed him.
The line of cleavage is not Democratic and
Republican when seven new near-radical lib
erals enter the Senate, and not liberal incum-
bent is defeated on either ticket. Moreover,
how Newberryism was trounced! Either the
Republican party will have to abandon the de-
tense of NewSerry or the Republican party will
have to go out of business. We are in a new
era. The old order has changed in American
politics. We are back to Armageddon. The
discontented farmer and the aspiring laborer

y ATELY there has been a good deal OF
a II discussion about the conventional dou-
81 ~sA-@ BILE, which seems to need some generic
name to cover its various utilities.
Some call it the informatory double, upon the
theory that it tells the partner something. 9th
ers call it the directive double, as it asks the
partner to do a certain thing. Others again
call it the negative double, as distinguished
from the positive or business double, as if it
always denied something, which is far from
the case.
N. B. Trist, Of New Orleans, made his name
famous among whist players all over the world
by suggesting the simple term "fourth-best," as
substitute for the older "penultimate and
ante -penultimate," which originated with
Drayson. Why cannot some one suggest a
short word to cover the double that asks part
ner to bid?
This double has so many different uses now
adays, depending on the situation in which it
is brought into play, that one has to make al
most separate study of it, like the leads or
secondhand plays or echoes.
There are two doubles. The more common
is the double of suit bid, which announces to
the partner that the doubler is strong in all
suits but the one doubled, but has no good bid
of his own. 1t was at first restricted to bids OF
one, but is now generally extended to bids Of
two. and by some players to bids Of three.
The other is the double of no-trump. This
announces to the partner that the doubler
also has no-trumper and would like 70 know
what suit his partner has that potential
no-trumper would support as the trump.
This double is more difficult to handle than
a suit double and is never used if the mo-
trump bid is for more than one trick. The
danger lies in the fact that if two players
have no-trumpers 1t is gamble on who has
ths better PARTNER.

other argosy ever set sail in so romantic an
adventure as that which science has been
sending out these last hundred years in search
of the atom-the last outpost in the material
world. Slow has been the journey of those
podding, patient souls who started upon the

halted to cry "Victory!" Once at the mole

after the death of Washington did men begin
to spread the wicked story that he had never
told lie. Mr.. Thayer also tells us that
Thomas Jefferson started the story in some
sort OF q eulogy. Washington has had
lot OF trouble as an historical character,
chiefly arising from a kind of cirrhosis Of
his virtues. That hardening has tended to
turn what must have been human and
personable man into hateful plaster saint.
The wonder is that Washington has survived.
lnstinctively, we have known the truth-that
he was no such thing. Washington was not
confirmed and constitutional liar. But he
doubtless had his weak moments, when it was
easier to laugh than to explain. Lying is
the worst habit in the world but it is
great social antiseptc and has proper place
IN the human pharmacopa. Washington was
not an addict; but there is no reason to SUM-
