Among the most interesting hands
to bid and play are those in the class
which is known as two suffers" This
does not Lean that there is nothing III
the hand but two suits, but it should
mean that there are two suits which
are equally good bids, or nearly so.
At the worst. If one does not suit tho
partner the player should be ready to
bid the other.
As a rule, two-suiters are made up
of two suits of at least five. cards
each, aItho Culbertson insists that if
the second suit IS as strong as two
sure tricks IT is good enough to bid
even if only four cards He calls
such hands 'semi-two suffers"
There are a few simple rules gov
erning the method of bidding two
suffers. Some of these were given in
the article printed on October 29. last,
but so many lave written for more
light on the subject that it seems nee
essary to emphasize a few points.
Cases in which the first bid is made
by the player holding the two-suiter
are comparativeIy simple. The idea
Is to find out which of the two suits
the partner can better support. His
approval of one suit by supporting it
is not usuallystaken for the end of the
matter if the other sui. might possibly
be even better fitted to his hand
But this<second attempt is limited
to the major suits. If player has
an equally good bid in both suits and
calls the EpdQGS WHICH are over
bid by an opponent. and the partner
helps the spadSt. that shoul not pre-
vent the original bidder from show
ing the hearts. If the partner pre-
fers the spades he can go back to that
suit for no more than it costs to
leave the hearts alone. The danger
of overbidding the hands is negligible.
as such games are almost invariably
game hands il both suits are sound
bids and the partner has a legitimate
a--ist in either. The two-suiters that
fail are those in which the partner
cannot properly assist either call.
But when we come to two-suiters|
that are held by the partner of q
player that has already made a bid,
the situation is quite different. There
is not much more for the original
bidder to hold if he has shown suit
and the tCat-on then resolves itself
into one of these:
If il is a major suit that is called
by the partner the two -suiter, first of
all. denies assistance in that suit
If it is a. 1linor suit that is called
by the partner the twO-suiter must
have at least one major suit, and that
Is the one to show first.
Now we come to the important part
Of the combination which some play
ers do not stop to consider. If the
first bid is minor suit, taken out
with a major. which is part of a two
suffer, and the original bidder sup
ports it, it is folly to call the other
suit. as there is little or nothing left
for the original bidder to hold, espe-
eiaIly If a suit has been bid against |
him. Take this case:

sesses a power second to no agency.
There is so much musical ability in
this community that upon proper in
vestigation my readers Will find that
they will be agreeably surprised. Yet
we have no. boys band, no girls band,
no community singing society, other
than the Modoc club, which, however
excellent organization it is, am sorry
to see Topeka gradually relinquishing
its claim on this organization as being
first of all our Modoc club. We as a
community may well display little
more forcefully our pride of possess
sion. We cannot let SO fine an or
ganization grow away from belonging
to all of US into the atmosphere of
being one of the many club or clique
organizations that are only partially
a community asset
A juvenile band in Topeka, sup
ported by Topeka, with properly su-
pervised activities would become a
goal for boys and girls for which to
reach in order that they may satisfy
a legitimate ambition to belong to an
organization which Representative of
the progressive spirit of our COM
munity. Some one said "A man Is the
size of the load he carries" L believe
that boys and girls develop into men
and women capable of facing great
responsibilities if we train them early
enough and judiciousiy to understand
that responsibility is a privilege and
not a curse. If we may have a band
composed of boys and girls or of both,
would it not be inspiring in summer
time on Sunday evenings at union re-
igiouS meetings on the state house
steps, for instance, to have our iuve-
nile band assemble and play the music
of gospel hymns? A preacher once
told me that if f~could get the people
in church thru music I would be rem
dering the cause of religion, as great
-s~service as he could by preaching the
gospel of Jesus Christ. If in the
manner I suggested above we could
draw boys and girls from all sections
of the city for that purpose we could
do so for many other good purposes
and we could teach them that all of
us are our brothers keepers. We
could teach them that unity makes
strength and incidentally we would
teach ourselves that our boys and girls
are the equal of any on earth music
ally. as well otherwise
No boys or girls have ever grown
into being great men or women unless
opportunity was offered OF emergency
called forth their latent powers Is
it not possible for Topeka's> many
clubs and organizations to seriously
take notice of this great community
want and provide way to care for 1t?

suits declared against him; but let
that pass. At some tables Y made
the mistake of going to four dia-
monds; or, when A passed, of showing
the diamonds over the dealers assist

not lave a good club suit and better
help in diamond than in hearts after
he has said he can help hearts.
z left it at diamonds and. of course,
failed to go game. If Y goes on with
the hearts over three spades or dou-
bles, or leav~ the hearts alone if A
does not go to three spades, he either
makes the gan in hearts by leading
trumps twice from dummy or he sets
the shade contract for at least 100
points.
These are the solutions to Problem
