Sources of income for schools:
FILING FEES-The State Tax De-
partment now has about 10000 cor
rect names and addresses, about 2O,-
600 remain to be Investigated. Prob
ably 100000 names will appear on

100000 worth of personal income has
been reported never before taxed.
INVESTED CAPITAL TAX-Col-
lections for the last year show an

The question is often asked: "With
what type of hand IS the preemptive or
shut-out bid sound pr advisable9" The
preemptive bid is sound when two ele-
ments are present. First, when the bid
can go game with but average help from
partner; and second if, in case the bid
fails to make, it will save or shut out a
game bid by the opponents. In other
words, sound preerhptive bid is either
a game maker or a game saver. A shut
out bid, from this angle, should be at
least three in spades, four in hearts and
FIVE in clubs or diamonds. Don't make
the mistake, however, of bidding three
spades if you hold good help for hearts;
or of bidding four hearts If you hold
good help for spades. The object of all
sound bidding is to arrive at the best
bid of the combined hands and a shut
out bid that makes this result impossi-
bic is unsound. The following hand was
submitted recently and an opinion asked
as to the proper bid:
