Arather interesting question has been
submitted to the writer. "If your part
ner bids no-trump and second hand
bids two hearts, with what type OF hand
should you double2" There are two
separate and distinct cases in which the
partner of the no-trump bidder should
double an adverse over bid on his right.
For example, suppose the dealer bid
one no-trump, second hand bid two
hearts and you hold the following hand:
Hearts ~
Clubs i K, J, 7,
Diamonds "A, ], 10, 5
Spades *, 1O,2
Z Oh you think you should double two
hearts? If your partner has a no-trumP
hand, it should be impossible for the
heart bidder to make his contract. On
the other hand, it would be difficult to
score game at no-trump or suit bid.
On the other hand, suppose your part
ner bids one no-trump, second hand
bids two hearts and you hold the follow
ing hand:
Clubs x, 7, 4,2
Diamonds 1917
Spades 10
Don't you think you ought to double
two hearts with this hand2 If your part
ner has a sound no-trumP you should
defeat the two heart bidder by two or
three tricks. These hands are not in
consistent. They merely specify the two
types that Justify a double Of an ad-
verse two bid over partners no-trump.
The same player has suggested that
with strong hands of the first type, it
would be better to double with the un-
derstanding that the original no-trump
bidder should bid his best suit. This
type of informatory double has been
tried out many times but is not consid7
cred good tactics. The whole purpose
Of the informatory double is to force
partner who has not yet bid to show
his suit. To extend this principle to one
who has already bid Is carrying the
principle too far. By bidding no-trump,

State admits frankly that Miss ODER

mistreatment at the hands of the de-

that after she took it they not only
refused to OBTAIN medical assistance

denied her the right to obtain 1t for
