third players have all passed, and the fourth player has e border line bid of one, the chances are that he will not count much more than one. Therefore. with a love score it is best for him to save time by also passing. because only about five per cent of incomplete scores go game. The Great Value of Pre-emptive Bids
 When you have e long suit and feel that with 1t as trump. you have a real. chance of going game, and at the same time want to shut out competition. you can pre-empt a declaration by making an initial bid of three or more. This tells your partner to let you alone unless he has a game hand in a higher valued declaration.
 Bids of this kind are called ore emptive" or 'shutout." They often win by preventing the adversaries working up to high declarations through knowledge of each others strength.
 For example, the dealer starts with call of four hearts; the sec ond player has sound spade bid of one or two, and his partner has as- sistance enough to life to four spades. The second player cannot bid four spades and passes. His partner knowing nothing about his strength. and also unable to bid four spades without assistance also Posses. The dealer consequently gets the declaration and goes game. If your hand Is of & general char acter and you do not fear an ad- versary's call in a no trump or a suit of high value. it is better to

 With 8 major suit of both length and strength, if the partner sees game, he should shift to this suit.
 Never take out a no trump with a minor suit unless your hand holds seven sure tricks and even then consider whether you might not make more at no trump.
 Regulating Fourth Hand Bidding
 The bidding of the fourth hand Is regulated by information gained through the bidding or passing of the three players who have preceded him. He can make an Initial decla- ration on strength or length of trumps without having two tricks for defense or support.

bid one and avoid the risk of a set. DoubIes--InfOrmattve and Business
 There are two kinds of doubles informative and business.
 The informative double always calls a one trick declaration, and differs from the business double in that the doubler has no Idea that 1t will stand but wants to signal his , hand to his partner. The business double Is made to get increased penalties. the caller be- lieving the adversaries contract can be deefated. It is for declarations of two or more.
 There is an informative double for no trump and another for suit decla- rations. These are made by the sec ond player after the dealer has de- clared.
 For example, The dealer calls one spade and the player on his left doubles. This says to the doubler's partner, "I would have a good no trump hand if my spade suit were protected. If you can stop spades twice. declare one no trump. If you are also weak in spades take me out by bidding your longest suit even if 1t Is only four cards with no top strength"
 When tho dealer bids no trump and the second player doubles. 1t says to his partner, q also have a good no trump hand and might go two no trumps. I would rather wait, how ever, and leave the declaration to you. If you have a good average hand bid two no trumps, or pass for a set. If you have @ good suit bid declare 1t. If you have a weak hand. bid two in the longest suit you have"
 For the one no trump double your hand should be trick stronger than the conventional initial one no trump declaration.
 Business Doubles
 A business double Is seldom made when the declaration Is less than three, as it takes six tricks to set the two contract.
 The doubler should have three sure tricks and possibilities in his own hand for doubling a three deelara- tion; two tricks and possibilities in doubling declaration of four, and one trick and possibilities in dou- bling a declaration of five or over. He depends on his partner for the necessary additional tricks.
 There are other doubles, among them the confusing double and the bluff double.
 
 confuse the declarer as to the posi- tion of adverse high cards.
 The bluff double is made against declaration which you cannot de- feat, the purpose being to bring the adversaries into declaration they had previously made, and which you believe you can defeat.
 Before doubling a minor suit decla- ration player should consider that if the declarer makes his contract he is likely to go game in addition to getting the other penalties. It is this fact that makes the minor suits so great factor in strategic playing.
 When, with a strong hand, the question arises as to whether you should try for rubber game or dou- ble your adversary's call, go for the rubber game unless you feel sure you will make more than 300 points through doubling.

 The former guess work and worry of making jam or jelly Is now past. The Certo Process is endorsed by gov- ernment authorities and cooking ex- perts; 1t insures perfect results with every batch. It is also very eoonom- ical, requiring only one minutes boil ing and thereby makes two-thirds more jam or jelly than the old method.

Third Hands No Trump Assistnnee
 When the deolarer has bid no trump, and has been overcalled. the partner should not bid two no trumps, unless he has the adverse trump suit stopped twice and three side suit tricks besides If the over call is two hearts and he has five spades, leaving the say about no trump increase to the original de- clarer If the overcall is two clubs or two diamonds, under the same con- ditiona he may bid two hearts. Bhould the overcall be two spades, the partner should have one sure side trick In addition to his five trump suit, to make a bid of three.
 Some good players say tha< the partner should not raise 8 no trump unless he has a good average hand with all four guits protected.
 In a one no trump declaration, and no overcall. with 8 good average hand the partner should pass.
