A Message to Business Men
Is This Advertising

Hundreds Of Washington's business men
regularly pay money for advertising in
year books, programs, and other one-time
publications ostensibly for the benefit OF
some union, association or organization.
For the most part these organizations
deserve support, but those who make bust
ness of getting out such publications do SO
for their own profit.
In one publication, business men con-
tributed thousands of dollars The associa-
ton received $3.50.
Much of the space so bought is not adj
vertising Is it legitimate contribution?
Do employees want to be regarded as objects
of charity?
Business men of Washington are urged
to investigate before they invest in unknown
advertising mediums Before you buy adj
vertising, call the Better Business Bureau
and find out where your money goes.

Copyright 1925 by Hoyle, Jr.

Of what practical use are conventions
of bidding? One hears this question
continually but seldom an intelligent
answer, and yet the reason is a very
simple one. The conventions Of auction
are like the words of language. They
enable partners to give information as
to their hands and so exchange intelli-
gent thought with one another in the
endeavor to arrive at the best bid of
the combined hands. Auction is a game
where the players are bidding against
one another for the privilege of playing
the hand, and unless partners under
stand one another's bids, they will fire.
quently bid against one another to their
disadvantage. The object OF all bidding
at auction is to arrive at the best bid
of the combined hands and this can be
done only by intelligent cooperation
between partners. If you bid one heart,
meaning one kind of hand at one time
and an entirely different type at another
time, how can you give partner infor-
nation of any value2 He will be forced
to guess as to your holding and, as usual
with guesses, he is much more apt to
guess wrong than right. Let your origi-

nal bids mean something definite, some
thing that your partner can depend
upon at all times. Let an original suit
bid mean that you have at least two
sure tricks in your hand, one of which
IS in the suit bid. Tell your partner the
truth. Let him feel thai you are pre-.
pared to play the hand al that suit OF,
il the opponents win the bid, that he
can safely lead your suit. Or if you bid
no-trump, let him feei that you have
your bid; that you have at least two
sure tricks distributed among at least
three suits. When you bid, you are
really making promise to your part
ner that you can make that bid; go be
prepared to make good. Ii the language
OF the merchant, let every advertised
feature be sacred pledge. When you
make an original bid, hold aces and
kings, or hold your tongue.
An interesting hand has just been
brought to the writer attention, show
ing the value of mentally placing GER
tain cards in opponents hands in such
a way that game IS possible, and then
playing accordingly:

BARGAIN DAYS
IN THE DOLLAR MARKET

FIVE should advertise that would give you S1O5 for

But that is just what we do when offer you "Od

Invest S100 in "Od Home $50 Certificate" and at
the end of year you will have S1O5.
But you do not need to wait until the end of the year
for your profts-interest checks mailed every six
months.
We believe that "Od Home 500 Certificates of De-
post are the most popular form of investment just
for Newark and Licking county people,
At least it seems so because more than million
fv hundred thousand dollars have been invested in these
Certificates in the last year and half.

partner Y double two hearts unless the
bid was bluff When A redoubled, Z
finally awoke to the situation and bid
four spades. As partner doubled this
bid and Z just made his contract. At
four clubs, A should have just made his
bid SO he lost all of his previous gain
by the redouble. AS bidding in this
hand recalls Lincoln's famous saying:

the consumers that theirs is a mutual
problem" said President Leonard
Communities served are coming to

mond tricks, winning the last trick in
Us hand. On these tricks, A is forced
to make two discards. He can discard
one spade and one club. If he does that,
rs queen OF clubs will be good on the
third round. Or A could discard two
spades. If he does that, VS. queen of
spades will be good on the third round.
In either event, w must score game.
1t should be noted that if A had led
clubs at trick five, instead of spades, he
could have saved game.
The tricky bidder was doing his best
in the following hand but after a good
start, he fell down and spoiled chance
for big gain.
