There are no trumps and z is in the
.ead. How can w so play the hand
that they will win five of the eight tricks
against any defense2 Z should play the
king of clubs and Y should play the
seven so that he cannot be forced in the
lead on the third round of clubs. This
play by Y is very important and the
key of the problem. Z should now play
the seven of spades. A can either win
the trick and return spades or allow Y
to win the trick. His better play is to
win the trick with the king of spades
and lead another spade which Y wins
with the queen. Y should now play the
queen of clubs. B can play low club
Or the jack of clubs. If he plays low
club, B will be forced in the lead with
the jack of clubs on the next round. He
will then be forced to play diamonds.
z can take two tricks in diamonds by
refusing to win the frSs" trick. If B plays
the jack of clubs at lick four, A will be
iorced in the lead Sn the next lead of

joyed unusual prosperity. Investors
of experience hold it's securities in
high regard. But it would be fool
ish waste of money to pay approx
mately $400 more for this stock
than it can be bought for in the open
market. In this instance the unit"
peddlers are simply trading on the
splendid name of Ford. Many people
will look no further than that name
and will fail to realize that always
it is necessary to ascertain that the
banker or other dealers who sells
securities is the reliable kind of
dealer who will not seek an unfair
profit.

Answer to Problem No. 6

hand thus allowing 2 to make both his
heart trick and the kind of diamonds.
In either event, therefore, w must
win five of the eight tricks against any
defense. 1t is an interesting and in
structive problem because it involves
many points of play that come up very
frequently, particularly forcing an op.
ponent in the lead to his disadvantage.
Also note rs play of the diamond suit
in case B won the fourth trick and AS
lead of the low heart when forced in the
lead on the fifth trick. Bad play by
either A or Z in these situations would
cause the loss of a trick.
Problem No. 2
There is another angle to consider.
Suppose A should win the second trick
with the king of spades and then lead
the king of hearts and follow with the
nine of hearts. How can w so play
against this defense that they may win
five of the eight tricks2 This point will
be considered in the next article

ARTICLE No. 10

The writer was much surprised the
other day to receive a letter from a
correspondent asking the definition of
an Original bid" Perhaps there are
others who are in doubt. An "original
bid" is the first or opening bid of the
hand, whether made by the dealer,
second, third or fourth hands. 1t is also
called the initial bid" 1t is very inn
portant to understand this distinction
for there is a very great difference be-
tween original bids" and forced bids"
that is, those bids made after another
player has already bid. Original bids by
dealer or second hand must always
show two quick tricks, either in suit
or no-trump bid. Original bids by third
or fourth hands must show at least
three quick tricks. These requirements
are arbitrary and should be closely fol-
lowed. Original bids offer the best op-
portunity to give partner exact infor-
nation and unless these requirements
are closely followed, partner is given
incorrect information, usually to his
disadvantage. After another player has |
bid, however, bids may be made freely |
that would not be justifable original |
bids. For example: Suppose the dealer
has bid one club, the following hands
justify a bid of one diamond, one heart
and one spade respectively:
Hearts A, 2
Clubs SO, 7,
Diamonds "A, u.s. TO
Spades *, 10, 2
Hearts Jo.42
Clubs D.

"THE STUDENT PRINCE" /"

The Messrs. Shuberts operatta,
"The Student Prince" which begins
an engagement of one week at the
Playhouse, Wilmington, on Monday,
December IA, is doing much for the
development of the lighter musical
theatre in America. The work is of
such a high standard and its pop
ularity has proved so great that
eight companies of equal artistic
standing are necessary to satisfy
the demand. This means that prac-
tically every singer of importance
in the musical theatre is a member
of one or another of the compan-
les. The student chorus in each
company is large and has given an
opportunity for many young music
students and opera and Operatta as
pirants to make a professional de-

joint WATERWAYS
COM, TO HEAR GRAND
FALLSPLAN TODAY

At Montreal, today, the Province
of New Brunswick is asking the In
ternational Joint Waterway Commits
sion to grant opportunity for the
development Of a great electrical
power development at Grand Falls,
At this hearing the State of Maine
will be represented by Attorney Gen.
eral Fellows and the solicitor of the
U. S. State Department will appear
with the representatives from the
State Of Maine. Attorney General
Fellows will argue the case for Maine
orally.
He will cite the unanimous conclu-
sion of the Commission preceding the
present one on the uses of the st.
John River, an opinion referred to
by Governor Brewster in his special
message to the Legislature on the
subject. This statement is as fol-
lows:
"The utilization of this immense
power that nature has placed at their
disposal would unquestionably great
ly stimulate the prosperity of the
people of both countries. The stor-
age accorded in both countries is a
necessary factor. for the use of
which harmonious action by both
Governments is requisite. With great
natural advantages. unusual railroad
facilities. and with an abundance of
forest products available, there
would seem to be every reason for
believing that, with proper develop
ment of this power, aided by such
conservation of water as the evil
dence shows to be feasible, this Sec
ton would witness a remarkable in
crease in wealth and population"
The people living adjacent to the
Grand Falls project are hoping moth
ing will happen to delay the devel-
opment from which they expect
much. There appears to be no dis
position to impede the proposed I'M
dertaking, at least not from Maine.

than a share in the power common

opment. within the territory of the
