No score, rubber game. 2 dealt and
passed. A bid one spade. Y passed and
B bid two clubs. z bid two hearts, A
three clubs, Y three hearts and B four
clubs. z bid four hearts, A FIVE clubs,
Y doubled, B passed and 2 bid FIVE
hearts. A doubled and all passed. A
opened with the ace of clubs and then
played the ace Of spades which z
trumped. How should he plan the play
of the hand2 2 should play the deuce Of
hearts and when A plays the ten, z
should stop to consider. There are now
only two hearts unaccounted for, the
king and the jack. If A has both, he is
bound to make trick, no matter what
z plays. If he has the king and B the
jack, 2 will lose a trick by playing the
ace. If A has the jack and B the king,
z will win a trick by playing the ace.
In other words, the play Of the ace Of
hearts from Y's hand at trick three is
an absolute guess. Personally the writer
would play the ace although the play
Of the queen would not be criticized.
From the hands given, the play of the
ace Of hearts at trick three gives w
FIVE odd. The rest of the play is easy
but should. be worked out for practice.

ARTICLE No. 20
Copyright 1925 by HOyle, Jr.

One of the most difficult points of
auction bridge, as well as one of the
most interesting, is the proper bidding
Of a two-suited hand; that is, hand
that contains two suits of at least five
cards each. 1t is the strongest hand that
can be held if played at the best suit of
the combined hands. Such a hand is
considered, on the average, one trick
better than the usual suit bid, and at
least two tricks better than a no-trump
bid. This fact shows the importance Of
the proper bidding of such hands, in or
der to arrive at the best bid of the COM
bined hands. As dealer, or before part
ner has bid, if your hand is 1.-TWO
suiter," try for the opportunity to bid
both suits, provided, of course, they
are sufficiently strong to warrant an
original or forced bid. As a general rule,
bid the higher valued suit first, provided
it contains sufficient strength to war
rant the bid. If not, bid the lower valued
suit, and show the higher valued suit
on second or subsequent round. In the
same way, always prefer, if possible,
the major suit to the minor.
The following hands illustrate the
principles just discussed and if you can
figure out the proper bid in each in
stance, you are doing very well. In each
case, there is no score. If you, as dealer,
held the following hands, what would
you bid1 Compare your analysis with
the one that will be given in the next
article.

B bid three hearts. 2 bid three spades,
A bid four hearts, Y doubled and B

A opened the ace of hearts. He then
played the ace and king of diamonds
and all followed. He then led a low
heart, Y played the queen and B fol-
lowed. How should z analyze the hand
and plan the play so that he can win
the balance of the tricks against the
best defense9
Answer to Problem No. Il
The bidding and B'sdouble practically
locate the remaining spades in BIS hand
and z should plan the play accordingly.
For that reason he should trump Y's
trick with low spade in his own hand,
He should then lead spade, winning
the trick in Y's hand with the queen.
He should then lead the king of hearts
and again trump in his own hand. He
should then lead another spade and
win the trick with the ace in Y's hand.
He should then lead a diamond from
Y's hand and trump in his own hand.
He has now led trumps twice and
trumped three times so that he has
left the king and ten of spades. He
should now lead three rounds of clubs.
winning the third round in Y's hand
For the last two tricks, therefore, he
has the king ten of spades as a tenace
over BIS jack and five. 1t is a fine ex-
ample of the so-called "grand coup"
the trumping of a partners winning
trick to shorten ones trump holding. In
this problem, Z was forced to trump his
partners tricks three times in order to
make his bid. Play it out for practice.

SOUTH ATLANTIC
RUM UNITS JOINED
Andrews Names NJ. 0. Dun
ming Chief of Co-ordinated
Agencies in Four States.
BY the Associated Press.


In order to develop closier liaison
between Coast Guard, customs and the
prohibition forces in enforcing the
NolStead act in the South Atlantic
States, Assistant Secretary Andrews
has in effect nodded the three agencies
into one unit and has appointed NJ. ..
Dunning, costoms collector at Savan-
nah, as co-ordinator for prohibition
in the States Of North Carolina, South
Carolina. Georgia and Florida.
The changes, disclosed today, place
Mr.. Dunning in a supervisory capac-
ity over all of Mr.. Andrews corps in
the four States mentioned. The move
is regarded as representing the first
step in Il plan for Tightening up en-
forcement in Southeastern States,
where the Assistant Secretary saw evil
dence of considerable violation of the
liquor laws on his recent inspection
trip through that section.
During the holidays Mr.. Andrews
visited the four States mentioned,
comforting with all executive officers
under his jurisdiction. Mr. Dunning
accompanied the Treasury official on
the tour and is held to be equipped
at the outset with a full knowledge
of conditions.
In placing the executive Of the
three units in the four States under
one jurisdictional control, Mr.. An
drews gave evidence of desire to
expand further the idea he had from
the outset Of his work at the Treas
ury-compeliing assumption Of author
ity and responsibility by supervising
agents as near as possible to the prob
lem with which they have TO deal
That was the thought behind the
division Of the country into districts
along lines of Federal court juriSdic-
tions. With respect to the court dis
triCts, however, Mr.. Andrews be
lieved that the divisions he worked
out would aid in eliminating some
political influence in the selection of
many enforcement officers The
political question, however, was said
not to have interfered in attempts to
enforce the law in the South Atlantic
States, and Mr.. Andrews has moved
therefore, to work out on expert
mental lines a scheme that may later
be applied in other sections. al
though the Assistant Secretary said
he had not decided on its use else
wher*, at this time.
There was little comment other
than that mentioned with respect to
the arrangement now to become ef-
fective in the South Atlantic States.
Mr.. Andrews was not plea Sed with
conditions in some sections Of the
States visited and he so informed offi-
cials of those areas with whom he
conferred He was unable during his
trip, however. 10 decide in his own
mind upon methods Tor correcting the
situation.

third in this trio. Because Of an accl-
dent to one of his fingers, he felt
unable to give any solo numbers, but
perfectly attuned his accomplishments
for both voice and flute to the moods
and music of his cO-perfolmers.
Mr. Amadio opened the program with
the playing of the three movements
of BaCh'S Sonata in ID Minor ana
Chopin's Butterfly Etude' as the
encore. The sonata with its constant
ripping of one flight Of notes into
another in typical Bach fashion was
a severe test for breath and virtuosity
Mr.. Amadio succeeded admirably and
achieved the light. fluttering mood ot
the Chopin encore equally well. Later
in the program he played the Chami-
Song of India" and as final encore
Schumann's "Traumerei' All his ef-
forts We're enthusiastically received
by the audience. Mir. Amadio has ap-
peared on programs with many of the.
leading singers. such as Calve, Tetra-
Zini, Melba and, most recently, Frieda
Hempel.
Miss AustraI who made her debut
TO Washington, is dramatic soprano

be well adapted to some Of the roles

IWASHINGTON'S PLACE in HEROES
GALLERY TO BE FILLED AT LAST
ST. 900 Authorized by House Committee to Replace
Borrowed Houdon Bust i'm Pan-American
Building With 'SOfficiar' Replica.

Stirring from a lethargy of many
years duration to meet attacks aimed
at the character of the Father of His
Country, Uncle Sam comes forward
now with a belated decision to place in
the Pan-AmeriCan Building an ''of-
hcIai' bust of George Washington.
Aroused at the discovery that, but
Tor the generosity Of Il private citizen
OF the National Capital, the niche left
IN the gallery Of national heroes" of
the building for this country's me-
murlal to its outstanding national hero
would be vacant. while the bustS of
many South American patriots testify
TO the gratitude Of their peoples, the
Government has moved to correct this
condition.
The committee on the library of the
House Of Representatives yesterday
placed its stamp of approval on the
joint recommendations of President
Coolidge, Secretary of State Kellogg
and Director of the Budget Lord that
Congress appropriate $1,000 with
which to purchase a replica Of the
Houdon bust of Washington for the
Pan-American gallery OF heroes.

The IIoudon bust IS the privately
owned work which now fills the spot
set aside for the Nations first Presi-
dent. 1t is the property of Mrs. Henry

lent it to the Pan-American Union so
that Americas s patriot would not be
neglected.
President Coolidge. in strongly rec
ommcnding' the necessary legislation,
transmitted to Congress the following
statement Of Secretary kellogg:
The director general of the Pan
American Union has called my atten-
ton to the fact that when the plans
