Failing Autumn, Leaves
Cause Much Grief for
Patrons of Street Cars
Cars Slip Slide and Groan AS Golden Leaves Are Crushed
On the Rails-Passengers Become irritable When Car
Does Not Stop at Designated Spot.

Street car patrons of commanding
avoirdupois, are irate today. The
tempers of motormen are frayed and
their nerves are ragged.
The man with a souI-appetite for
beauty is revealing in the joy of the
falling autumn leaves on Topeka's
tree-embowered streets. Mani-coIored
leaves are showering the earth with
warm gold-fluttering thru the air
like embodied blessings upon the bos-
ON of Mother Earth as she enters
the slumbrous time of winter-fleck-
ing the green sod and the tawny with
brilliant points and drifts.
They swirl and glitter as they fall.
They sweep in the breeze stirred UP
in the wake of the flying street car
like hordes of brownies and fairies,
pursuing the numbering man made
monstrosity in <merriment-stopp ing
to chase each other around and
around in some mad game of their
own-drifting to the edge of the
draft and wandering off to curb or
parking in quest of some new jest.
And the stree, cars slip and slide
and groan and squeak on the Juice
of the leaves crushed out on the rails
Brakes are of no more service than
profanity. The cars slip along as
easily with locked wheels as with
free-and less bumpily. The sand
car crew is working over time.

On the tree-overhung streets a mo-
torman must gauge his coasting rnage
block away, or stop where he can.
Hardly a car is able to make a pas
senger stop on the near side of the
street with any accuracy If there are
trees along the street.
Passengers push the button and
step to the platform only to turn and
glare questioningly at the conductor
as the car slips past the sidewalk, on
across the street and to a gentle stop
in the next block.
Blame on Jack Frost.
Fat women stare blankly as the car
scoots past the Car Stop Here" sign,
and comes to a halt down the street,
then puff ana sputter as they pursue
it Agile young men swing on as the
car goes past them; everybody else
chases the street car.
Indignant patrons take conductors
badge numbers. and the conductors
just grin The blame is on Jack
Frosts shoulders and no living mo-
torman can guess where his car is
going to stop.
On the Lowman Hill line, near
Christs hospital, where there are
many trees. a Lowman Hill car this
morning slid eighty-seven PAGES past
the point at which it should have
stopped, with every wheel solidly
locked.

the correct methodS for bidding two

partners having assisted the clubs. A
went to three hearts and Y to three

| This shows that, altho could sup

spades. Had he been short in spades
he would have gone back to clubs. His
weakness in hearts precludes a no.

At some tables did not mention
the spades after Y had assisted the

one trick.
At the club contract z found it i'm
possible to make more than his bid,
four odd, as ne had to lose a trick in
each of the plain suits, there being
no way to get a satisfactory discard.
When the spades were shown as
an original call, of course the clubs
were not mentioned and the bidding
went to three spades over three
hearts. When the clubs were bid
first and spades next time the final
bid was equally three spades, and it
turned out to be a comparatively easy
matter to make five.
The second heart lead was trumped
and dummy wa put in with the king
of clubs to lead the trump. queen,
king and ace falling. A third round
of hearts was .trumped and both AS
trumps taken out, still leaving the
nine in dummy
Instead of finessing the diamonds,
which is quite unnecessary, altho
some thougnlless players did it, z
runs off the clubs and gets dummy

tricks.
starts with the king of hearts,
which holds, and follows with the ace
of spades, upoL which Y discards a
diamond. z leads a small club, which
wins and leads the ace of hearts,
so that Y may continue in the lead
with the deuce of clubs and give z
a discard after B.
A is in trouble at this point, as he
must be prepared to give up the best
heart or unguard the diamonds. B
cannot stop the diamonds unless he
gives up all his spades, which would
make the deuce of spades good for
trick in rs hands. If A gives up
the heart Y who is still in the lead,
will make trick with the deuce of
that suit.
The key to the solution is the dia-
trick and the discard of the top club
by 2.

1t has frequently been remarked
that a two-suiter. il both suits are
good for a bid, is about the strong
est hand that can be held for the
purpose of competitive bidding. There
are many stronger hands, but they
are too strong to find any dangerous
bidding against them.
Two-suiters are Invisible into sew
eral classes. What might be called
the top-notcners are those composed
of two major suits. each of which is
good bid in itself. Such a hand
would be five spades to the ace,
queen, jack, and five hearts to the
ace. king, ten. The rule with such
hands is to call the suit of higher
rank first, the spades.
Many players make it a rule to
call the suit of higher rank first if
both are good Lids, even if the lower
hearts to the ace, king. jack, and five
spades to ace, king, queen they will
still call spades first. Il
The secondary class of two-suiters
takes in all rands in which both are
major suits but one is not good
five spades to the king, ten, and five
hearts to ace. queen, jack. The first
bid should be the hearts.
Another class takes in all hands
that have two good calls, one in a
major suit, the other in a minor. The
rule is to call the major suit first,
of course.
Another class takes in hands in
which it is the minor suit that is the
sound bid and the major suit only
secondary, such as five clubs to the
ace, king, and five hearts to the king,
jack. The clubs should be called first.
Another class takes in all hands
with two good minor suits. in which
the usual rule prevails to call the one
of higher rank first, diamonds,
When both are minor suits and the
diamonds are not good enough for
an original bid, while the clubs are,
the correct call is the clubs.
What should be done on the Sec
ond round of the bids, if any, depends
on what the partner has done. The
situation may be covered by one gen.
eral rule, the first bid being adversely
overcalled.
If the partner has passed or has
refused to assist the first suit shown,
call the other. whether it is a sec
ondary bid or not. If the partner
has assisted a major suit n eVer show
the supporting minor suit, but call
the other suit if it is a major. But
if the partner has assisted a minor
suit, always show the secondary ma
jor suit. in spite of his assist.
Here is a good example of this last
which brought out quite a
variety of scores in a duplicate game
last winter.

1t will be the final smash to win some
