ARTICLE No. 1

The writer has often referred TO the
charm of the unexpected at auction.
When you think you have ar invincible
hand, bad ''break" surprises and dis
concerts you and you only make one or
two odd. On the other hand, the game
has its compensation, for how often
does an apparently worthless hand turn
out to be big winneri Very often the
one picture card in the hand is just the
one to make your partners hand in
vincible, and so turn apparent defeat
to an unexpected victory. "Never say
:ie" is just as good a motto for auction
bridge as for anything else. Here is a
good example of the hopeless hand
turning out to be winner. Z dealt and
held the following-hand:
Hearts %, AZ

VI they do, there is always hope anC
shat is what makes auction bridge thI
greatest of card games.
In preceding articles the writer ha
often referred to the 4-4-4-1 type o
hand and strongly advised an effort Il
find a suit bid with such hand, on
that best fits in with the partners hand
Here are two good examples:

No score, rubber game. Z dealt, bid one
no-trump and A passed. What should
Y bid1 Y should undoubtedly bid two
hearts. This type Of hand, 4-4-4-1, Is
seldom suitable for no-trump, so over
bid your partners no-trump with that
one of the four card suits which offers
the best possibilities In this case, the
heart suit is fairly strong and should be
bid.

No score, rubber game. Z dealt and bid
one spade. A passed and Y bid one no
trump. If B passed, what should z now
bid2 Z should bid two hearts. IfY can
not help the spade bid, he should have
good help fog hearts and a game is very
possible. On the other hand, if Z passes
and lets Y play the hand at no-trump,
his opponents may run off five diamonds
and so save game. With this type of
hand, 4-4-4-1, try to find the suit bid
that best fits the combined hands. If
you do, you nearly always score game.
Hands with this type of distribution,
come up very frequently, several times
in an evenings play, so if you know
how to handle them you will make
many game not otherwise possible.
It's not often that a good fifty-two
card problem is presented but here is
one Just from England and it certainly
is teaser. Try your luck, but il you
cannot solve it don't be discouraged,

CAPPER FOR LARGER
DC. UTILITIES BOARD
Senate District Committee Head
Also Advocates Provision of
Increased Fund.

The bill discussed last week before
a subcommittee of the House District
committee to increase the member
ship of the Public Utilities Commits
sion was indorsed yesterday by Sen
ator Capper, chairman of the Senate
District committee
Senator Capper said he not only
thought the plan adding two members
to the commission should be carried
out, but that the commission should
receive a larger fund with which to
carry on its regulatory work.
Chairman Capper said he thought
the interests of the public have SUI
fered in the past because the Com
miSsioners, with all of their other
duties, are not able to devote suffi-
cient time to utility matters. He said
he agreed with Engineer Commission
er Bell as to enlarging the commits
sion and as TO increased funds for
the public in utility
cases
The pending bill would add to the
commission lawyer member and an
other engineer member. and would
provide for the appointment by the
Commissioners of a peoples counsel.
Senator Capper said he thought the
bill would be considered by the full
Senate District committee rather than
by a subcommittee.
