in a number of these articles, the
writer has pointed out that when a
hand contains a singleton or void suit,
a suit bid is much preferable to no
trump. The reason for this is very
apparent. The opponents have the open
ing lead and it is almost a certainty
that they will lead your weak suit.
Against a no-trump bid, a clever oppo-
nent will pass and open his strong suit.
If you bid suit, however, he will over
bid with his strong suit and you will
thus gain valuable information. The
modern tendency is undoubtedly for
suit bids rather than no-trump. For eX-
ample, suppose that, as dealer, you held
the following hand:
Hearts II K, 10. 4
Clubs Ia
Diamonds - K, 9, 8
Spades - A, K, 10.
Should you bid no-trump or one OF your
four card suits2 A modern up-to-date
player would bid one spade and see
what happens. If your opponents bid
clubs, show your heart suit. If your
partner bids clubs, bid no-trump. The
object of all sound bidding is to obtain
the best bid for the combined hands -
that's, Of twenty-six cards, not thirteen;
and the suit bids obtain that result
much better than nc-trump bids.
The following hands are instructive
because they contain principles Of bid
ding that occur very frequently. Study
them carefully until sure you under,
staud the principles involved.

latter procedure. If A has a sound two

only four cards and each a sound bid,
the minor suit should be bid, rather
than the major. By so doing you are
much more apt to get bid from your
partner than if you bid the major suit.
He will try to take out a minor suit and
try to let you play major suit. In this
way you get more information by bid

PAPER MILLS SIGN

Canadian Industry Moves to
Hold Up Price by Holding
Down Production.

SpeCidl DisPdtch w Inc star,
MONTREAL, September 21.-Canada
is restricting the production of print
paper. 1t Is doing this in order to
hold up the price, and the process is
almost the same as that employed by
the British government to restrict
production of rubber. except that the
movement is voluntary one among
the manufacturers.
Despite the fact that the restriction
of rubber aroused strong protest in
the United States, American interests
are foremost in supporting the restric-
ton of news print output
Although world demand for news
print is growing at remarkable rate,
owing to the demands of the American
papers, with their leaping calculations
and increased sizes, it is not keeping
pace wit additions being made to
paper and pulp mills in Canada, which
contribute. so much to the foreign
trade of the Dominion.
Agree to Limit Output.
Realizing that fact, paper manufac-
turers in Canada-American as well
as Canadian-have entered an agree
ment to limit the output of the Ca
madam mills. thus preventing a sur
plus of paper being thrown on the
markets, with a consequent break in
prices. Many mills now are being
built or put into production, but the
existing mills are not operating above
80 per cent of capacity. This limita-
ton has been sufficient to hold prices
steady and keep stocks down, but still
has not been sufficiently drastic to
leave an opening for the entry of the
German and Scandinavian makers into
North American markets.
The complete figures for July, the
latest now available, show a falling
off from June in Canadian exports de-
spite the new sources of supply. These
exports were valued at $13,673,677, as
compared with $15,053 sos for July,
1926. However. the exports for the
II months ending July 81 totaled STA
100000. a gain of 100000 over the
previous year.
The restrictions affect the United
States mainly, since the u. S. absorbs
nine-tenths of the Canadian exports.
