Spades %
The proper bid with this hand is one
club. If overbid by either opponent or
by partner, bid the heart. The reason
for preferring the club to the heart as
the first bid is that partner is more apt
to overbid the club than the heart and
so gives YOU better chance to bid both
suits.

Diamonds X, Q, 9, AZ
Spades *, ], 10, 7, 6,5
With this hand the better bid is one
spade. The spades are much stronger
than the diamonds and should be rebid
before showing the diamonds. For that
reason the one spade is preferred to one
diamond.
Hand No. 3
Hearts - none

Spades "A, K, ], TO-,
In this hand both suits are OF fairl
equal value so one spade should be tn

Clubs K, Q, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5

Spades o, 6
With this hand, one club is the proper
bid. Clubs should be rebid at least once
before showing the heart suit. The
clubs are so much longer and stronger
that the hand will undoubtedly givl
the best results with that suit as trumps.
Hand No. 5
Hearts "A, s,
Clubs - K, ], 9,5,3
Diamonds X, J, g., 5,3
Spades = none
This is very doubtful hand. 1t is really
a sound pass but the two-suit character
of the hand makes it tempting proPo
sition to bid. If you do decide to bid,
one diamond is correct. Whenever the
two suits are of fairly equal value, al
ways bid the higher value first.

Hand No. is on the border line but
this hand is just under. Pass with the
5 firm intention of bidding the hearts on
the next round if the bidding makes
such course expedient. These example
hands comprise NEST of the usual types
of two-suiters, and the bidding as given
should be carefully studied.

The dealer passed and the second play

case the shut-out bid probably made
little difference.

One of the most unusual succession

Cleveland has invoked the courts to
force the little girls in her class to

She contends that "red knees aren't

they detract attention from the

known in law as lachcs-in other
words that case had been permit
ted TO 90 to an undue length be-
fore court action was brought.
Brown was supported in the
move by City Solicitor Gaffney,
representing the Sesqui- Centennial

sums Of money had been spent i'll
preparation for the fight and that
persons from all parts of the coun-
try were here to witness it.
And the plaintiff now comes
