Spades s-Q,J, 10, 9,S
Should you bid one no-trump or one
spade2 This is very close hand. Per.
sonally the writer prefers a spade bid
but would not criticize a no-trump.
These two hands are indicative of the
difficulty that still confronts auction
players who have not yet mastered the
proper bids of the dealer. The dealer is
in peculiar position for he can always
give exact information. For that reason
he should strive to bid correctly. TIC
pass under certain circumstances is
just as bad as to bid incorrectly. Don't
pass sound bids for to do so is just as
misleading as an unsound bid. Your
partner depends on you as dealer to
give exact information both by your
bids and your passes, so strive to do SC
at all times.

and lead the eight of hearts. If B plays
the ten, z should play the king and
then lead the nine. If B plays low, Z
should play the nine, forcing A in the
lead. A can now lead a heart or a spade.
If the former, z wins the trick and
leads a spade. If A leads the ace and
small spade, Y will win the remaining
tricks. In either case therefore, ABB can
only win one spade and one heart trick
so that w win three of the five tricks
against any defense.

ARTICLE No. 5

There are still a number of auction
players who as dealer do not under
stand what TO do with certain types of
hands. Most players know when to bid
no-trump or one of a SUIT but every now
and then they hold hands that puzzle
them. For example, suppose you dealt
and held the following hand:
Hearts "A, K, ]
Clubs %, 7, A. 3
Diamonds "A, K, Q
Spades IS, 5, 4
What would you bid? The only proper
bid with this hand is one no-trump and
yet the holder of this hand passed. 1t is
teo strong to justify pass for if you
do, there is a very good chance of the
hand being passed out. 1t will also mis-
lead partner as to strength held. Here's
another hand:

Washing His Car
BY THOMAS RKLE CLARK
Dean of Men, University of
Illinois.

T HAVE always been convinced that
4 if Tom Sawyer had had more than
one fence to whitewash he might nave
had considerable trouble in getting
the neighbor boys to take the job off
his hands. 1t was the novelty of the
thing that deceived them. Later they
would have awakened to the fact that
1t was real work they were up against,
and Tom would have been compelled
to take a little exercise himself.
When Tam-Tam O'Shanter is the
name of our car-when Tam was new
and shiny and a novelty to our friends,
every member of the family from the
maid to the boy who mows the lawn
was interested in keeping him polished
to the highest degree.
When 1 would open up the garage
and begin the bathing process even
he nelghbors would come running out
with wet chamois cloths to assist at
the ceremonies or to stand around with
words of encouragement or suggestion.
1t was a privilege to help in the ablu-
lions.
IT'S all right when it's new" one of
my pessimistic %neighbors said to me
as, passing through the yard one morn
Ing, he caught me polishing up Tam.
but just wait a while"
he was quite right. Conditions
have changed now; Tam's body Is a
trife duller from contact with the ele-
ments. the process of keeping him
clean has grown commonplace and
arduous. Even the friends who most
often take advantage of his motive
power to ave them from physical eI-
ertion are no longer interested in the
vulgar details of his personal toilet.
They speak to me, perhaps, as they
catch me at work, but their business
needs immediate attention, and they
pass on quickly.
1t takes courage and persistence to
keep at a task after the novelty of 1t
has passed and only the dull, tlresome,
and regularly recurring details remain.
1t takes courage, l say, whether the
task be washing the car, studying an
embarrassing lesson, or sticking to a
fashioned or out of date. like being
honest oil going to church, or respect
ing old-time conventions. 1t takes
character to stick to n hard uninter-
estlng Job until it is finished, but the
satisfaction of finishing something one
has begun. of doing something well,
usually more than pays for the effort.
Ones self-respect and self-satisfaction
are worth n lot.

Talking Too Much
BY THOMAS ARkLE CLARK
Dean of Men, University of
Illinois.

TT is Mark Twain, I believe, who
= tells the story of listening to an
appeal for financial help presented by
a returned missionary. At the outset
the speaker made such n strong case
that Mr.. Clemens at once decided to
contribute ten dollars to the cause, but
as the speaker rambled On and on in
his talk the enthusiasm of his listener
gradually waned until when the time
came for passing the contribution box,
Instead of giving anything, he managed
TO slip a quarter from the box. The
man had killed his case by talking too
much.
My father used to say that he had
never in all his life, and he was not
a young man, been sorry hal he had
eaten too little or talked too little.
Most of us talk too much without
thinking much or saying much that is
worth while.
The best salesman with whom !
have ever done business, says little.
and in saying that little, never sug-
gests that l buy. He studies me and
my tastes and my desires, and then
places his wares attractively before
me, and lets them sell themselves. He
has learned, what is very difficult for
most of us to learn, that one gains his
case, often. or wins his argument quite
as much by keeping still as by talk
ing continuously.
1t is part of the weakness of youth
to talk too much. 1t were well, how
ever, If it were confined to youth.
Many women do 1t until they find
themselves and those who listen to
them | n a state of physical exhaustion.
Men, too, are not exempt from the
practice. the reason being perhaps,
that we all like to cast ourselves in
the role of hero. or wise guy of some
sort, and we foolishly imagine that by
talking of our own virtues and enlarg-
ing upon the weaknesses and errors of
the other man. we strengthen our own
position. 1t is really mostly talk. and
often harmful talk.
1t was George Eliot, 1 believe. who
said that one of the tests of real
friendship is that W people may be
together for an hour and a nothing
and feel no obligation to say anything.
We should all be better off If we
talked less and thought more.
