for the 4-4-4-1 type Of hand plays far
better at a suit bid, and you should try
to find the best bid for the combined
hands.
Here'R another example. Suppose
your partner bids one no-trump, second
hand passes and you hold the following
hand:
Hearts -o,8,4,3
Clubs-A, Q, ~
Diamonds "A, 9, 4, 2
Spades 10
With this hand you should bid two
clubs. This type of hand is hopeless as
a no-trump proposition so try for suit
bid, and in doing so, try to find the suit
bid that is the best for the combined
hands.
Here's still another example. Suppose
as dealer you hold the following hand:
Hearts "A, 10, 9, ~
Clubs - none
Diamonds K, Q,4
Spades "A, ., J,7
With this hand, first bid one spade and
if overbid, show the heart bid. Then if
YOU have another chance, bid diamonds.
With a hand as strong as this one, it is
almost a certainty that you can go
game in the suit that best matches up
with your partners, so you should try
to find that suit.
The following hands were given as
problems in the preceding article. Ther%
is no score, you are the dealer and have
bid one no-trump. Second hand has
passed, your partner has bid two spades
and fourth hand has passed. What

There has been more or less discussion
as to the type of hand that justifes a
bid of four card suit. About the weak
est four card suit that should bebid with
out any outside strength is four to the
ace king, queen or any four honors. Some
writers advocate a bid with only four
to the ace king, but with such holding
the hand should also contain at least a
king In an outside suit. For example, as
dealer, bid one club with each Of the
following:
Hearts ts-7,6,2
Clubs "A, K, OF
Diamonds IS, 4, SO
Spades -9,2
Hearts-K,7,2
Clubs A, K, Al
Diamonds IS, 81
Spades j, 10, 2
Hearts -S,3,2
Clubs-K, Q, ], 10
diamonds IS, SO
Spades 4, 8
Ii iss with the following:
iearts Il, o.
Clubs "A, K, Z,
Diamonds IS, 4, 80
Spades -Q,2
In other words, don't bid four card
suits without at least half a trick "a
guarded king) on the side. The four
card suit bids are also interesting as
second round or take-out bids. For ex-
ample, the dealer bid one spade on the
fo11O.,t;1cr ba1J.
Hearts *, Q,9,2
Clubs ~
Diamonds 10, 8, 4
Spades s-A, Q, 10, 2
Second hand passed and the dealer
partner bid one trump on the following
hand:
Hearts-A,S,7,6
Clubs II, 4
Diamonds "A, K, g, 80
SHADES ., 8
His opponents passed and opened clubs,
running off five club tricks before he got
the lead. If the dealer had bid two
hearts, his other four card suit, he
would have made game. Such hands are
semi-two suffers and frequently work
out better at the suit bid than at no
trump.
Another point to consider in the bid
ding of four card suits occurs when
holding the 4-4-4-1 or 5-4-4 type of dis
tribution. For example, suppose as deal

Bullfght Broadcast
From Spanish Arenas

In Spanish wireless the latest effort
has been to broadcast a bullfight. The
ring, by it's circular construction in
which the seats rise. tier on tier, to
the roof balconies, forms an admirable
sounding box. Then the bullfight is a
stereotyped affair. a repetition of a
short drama, which rarely lasts more
than 20 minutes, and is divided into
five phases.
First is the brief one of the entrance
of the bull when he bounds into the
plaza and rushes for the men waving
large cloaks. Next is the longer act,
during which the bull must be
brought to charge the horsemen three
times and receive three lance-thrusts;
then the short phase of the
banderillas. when three pairs Of barbed
darts are stuck into the nape of his
neck; then the eliminating moment of
the death-stroke by the matador, and
finally the last brief phase when the
dead bull Is dragged out of the arena
by a team Of janglingly harnessed
mules. The spectators, numbering
sometimes $4,000, punctuate every
phase with their shouts. Only very
brief indications by the speaker near
the microphone are necessary to guide
the GStener-in. who can follow the
fight from start to finish and feel
some Of the emotion the spectators
express in the mighty shout-waves
that rock the microphone.

Riots occur when persons have diff

Riots are useless and Improbable

business of the authorities of the

an unpopular opinion. The police hate
to shoot into a crowd. But tear gas
will quell any riot and make the lead
ers and participants in disorder easy
to catch.
Tear gas is a weapon of chemical
warfare and many we'll meaning per-

to prohibit all use of chemical warfare

The average baby born around the
year 1000 A. d. may expect to spend
100 years on earth, instead of about
half a century, which is the average
lifetime at present. This is the predic-
ton made by DR.. Hornell Hart Of Bryn
Mawr College, before the American
Sociological Society.
Unless we wreck our civilization
in the next - years. which is unlikely,
many a baby will be born with 200 or
more years of life before it, and men
and women 100 years of age will be
the normal thing, but instead Of being
wrinlled and crippled, they will still
be In their vigorous prime" said DIR.

Famous Authority and Writer on Chemistry.
In some districts of New York City
many of the taxpayers put off their
payments until the last minute and
then rush to the collectors office with
the cash in their pockets. This pro-
vides a ripe harvest for the ubiquitous
highwayman. SO Comptroller Craig
made provision for them by providing
tear-gas reception at those points
where the pickings are richest. And
city passengers who carry large sums
of money through the streets in bags
or satchels or boxes have been so pro-
tected that as soon as the would-be
thief seizes what he believes to be his
booty he gets his dose and immediate
ly he doesn't know where to go be-
cause he can't see at all. Even tenn
porarily blind robbers are at a distinct
disadvantage. The system works well.
Other organizations that are threat
ened by that class of desperate, dope
filled criminals that are the spawn of
the great war and of whatever condi-
tons that beget them are beginning to
avail themselves of similar protection.
Many banks are already so equipped
with tear-gaS devices that as soon as
man utters or indicates a threat the
gas is released and the desire of his
heart changes straightway from theft
to escape.
The use of tear or lachrymator gas
in civil life is only beginning. Its ef
rect is very unpleasant and 1t makes
the victim blind for the time being,
but it does not permanently injure
him in any way. Its effect lasts only
from half an hour to a day. At ordi-
nary temperatures it is a liquid which,

Former Turkish Consul. now attache to the
Consulate General for Spain, in Charge
of the Turkish Affairs.
Turks cannot disguise the fact that
we are bitterly disappointed with the
Mosul oil decision of the League of Ma
lions, which now lies before the eyes
of the world We wanted to test once
more this new international machin-
cry, in order to satisfy ourselves
whether or not it was really to become
a factor for peace and justice in the
settlement of international controver-
sizes. This present experience with the
league confirms our fear that it has
simply been created for the purpose of
offering it's good offices to it's most
powerful members rather than to rem
der an even-handed justice among the
nations. AS we look at 1t, the Mosul
decision proves that the big powers
can put themselves in the background,
behind the league, and thus escape the
responsibility for their acts before the
conscience of the world. In brief. as
we look at it, what is happening is
that, through the machinery of the
league and in the name Of humanity
and justice the world is being plainly
deceived.
BY this decision the league has de-
MED the constitutional rights of Tur-
key and is placing an essential part OF
our territory under the control of Eng
land by giving England mandate
over that territory. 1t is difficult to
guess what may be the ultimate conse-
quence of such "A decision. 1t seems
fair to believe, however. that the world
Will again see another Alsace-Lorraine

miral Bristol or any other well in
formed American who knows the Re
public of Turkey will bear witness to
it, that Turkey had no quarrel with
the Irak government. Indeed. we
looked with pleasure upon the Consti-
tuition of that government. We would
be willing to negotiate for a settlement
of any claim we had against Irak with
a feeling that a mutual understanding
and a willingness to accept mutual
sacrifices would bring about a just set
tlement. But, unfortunately, we can
not help seeing that in the name of
mandates and under the protection of
the league foreign intervention is real
ly being pushed to further selfish in
terests. This is the kind of interna-
tional difficulty which threatens terri
torial integrity, and If Turkeys terri
torial integrity is threatened she will
not hesitate to fight if necessary.
People in this country will natural
ly ask how Turkey would have settled
the Mosul difficulty after it actually
arose, and after it became clear that
the 1rak government and Turkey were
not going to be permitted to settle it
by direct negotiation between them
selves. The solution that would have
been highly satisfactory to us would
have been through the mediation of a
really neutral power such as America
Turks would have welcomed America
as a mediator because we have abso-
lutte faith in the justice of America
We would have welcomed such media
ton even if 1t had resulted in a ma

Hungary.-On May /, 1924, Jere-
miah Smith established his office at
Budapest as commissioner general of
the League of Nations for Hungary,
to supervise execution of the leagues
plan for the fiscal and financial re-
Mobilization of that country. An In
ternational loan of about 100000
pounds for Hungary's benefit was
soon floated under league auspices
OF this sum about 100000
pounds was applied to covering the
deficit for the fiscal year ended June

would be needed in the following

commencing July /, 1926.

ed to $4,000. An allied military mis-
sion is still in observation in Hun
gary and the military expenditure is
under strict league supervision. II
seems unlikely. therefore. that the
governments of the Little Entente
are justified in their apparent belief
that the military clauses of the
treaty are being seriously violated.
1t should be noticed that the ma
tons of the Little Entente have a
combined population of AZ, 100000 and
maintain armies. of a combined peace
strength of 405, 900.
Country Is Quiet.
Sir William Goode. who probably
knows as much about Hungary as any
non-Hungarian, declares that since Mr..
Smiths arrival in Budapest Hungary
has perhaps been the quietest country
in Europe" 1t is somewhat remark
able that Count Bethlen has been
premier longer than any other man in
Europe now holding the premier job.
1t is, too, not without significance
that the elective principle has been
partially applied to the upper House
of the Hugarian Diet.
It is very far from true that all is
we'll with Hungary. But the aspects
