ARTICLE No. 8

One Of the most puzziing questions
of auction arises when your partner has
made a business doubk and you have a
hand that is worthless except at the
suit you have bid. Should you leave in
the double in the hope of defeating the
contract or should you go on with your
own bid3 That is the question and the
answer must always be a variable one,
dependent on the cards held In each
hand. AS a general proposition you
should figure whether or not your hand
can take tricks at the bid that has been
doubled. If it can, then your hand and
your partners will probably defeat the
contract. If your hand cannot take
tricks al the bid that has been doubled,
then you should rebid your own suit.
The following hands are good illustra-
EOns of the rebid after partner double

The great theme of the week, ringing through social activities,
as well as through the business world, has been the choice of
officials to serve the community for a new term. In this theme
each Bozeman woman is bearing her full share of responsibility
Through the study clubs and the Halloween festivities of the
week, there runs the deeper, finer note of loyalty to community
welfare. The Bozeman woman holds place on equal footing with
the splendid sisterhood:
Mothers of men, of nations, of laws,
Holding the pulse of the world in their hands,
Moulding foundations for each worthy cause,
Womanhood now victorious stands.
Blessed with the ballot, their womanhood stands.
Now with this token, they make worthy cause,
Casting the ballot with capable hands,
Mothers of men, of nations, of laws.

hasn't the ace of diamonds, Y cannot
take trick with spades as trumps. For
that reason he should bid FIVE hearts.
w can just make FIVE hearts, while at
spades ABB can make a grand slam.
A had the ace of diamonds and no
hearts, and B had no clubs, so a cross
ruff could be established. If Y had bid
five hearts, neither A nor B was strong
enough to bid FIVE spades over the
double, so a bid of FIVE hearts would
have been a big winner.

tacular fire, which has been raging
over 900 acre area near here since
Wednesday morning, was slowly
burning itself out today.
1t will be at least week before
the millions of barrels of oils which
are adding constant fuel to the
flames will be consumed, accord
ing to officials of the company.
Plans were already under way to
reconstruct the devastated tank
farm at an estimated cost of $40.
100000.
The cost of reconstruction is little
more than half of the actual dam
age of the fire. according to Lafc
Todd, western manager of Union
Oil.
In addition to the costly storage
tanks, both underground and sur
face, which have been destroyed,
there has been loss Of more than
100000 barrels of oil, worth at
least Il dollar Il barrel.
Six 20 acre reservoirs and IL big
steel tanks, filled with oil, were
still n mass of flames today. a
dozen tanks of lesser capacity may
be saved.
Fire Checks Work
The 800 acre inferno was kept
within its confines by earth and
water barriers erected around the
tank farm, and further damage to
surrounding territory was believed
averted.
A favorable shift in the wind will
probably save the II comparatively
small tanks which appeared at first
to face certain destruction.
A pool Of water, created by dam

of 10 miles, is aiding in holding the
fire in check. The big blaze being
