W. c. T. U. Meeting.
The regular meeting Of the W. c..
/. U. was held at the home of Mrs.
R. E. BOdley, 521 West Olive street,
the hOstesses being Mesdames Clara
Birch, w. C. Dawes, H. A. Bolinger,
and j A. Stafford. There was an un-
usually large attendance. Mrs. o.
B. Van Horn led in the devotionals,
taking a lesson appropriate to
Frances E. Willard day.
Mrs. Willard A.. Bell offered her
resignation as secretary, as she IS
soon to leave for an extended tour
in Europe. Mrs. Ella Beatty kindly
agreed to act in that capacity until
the next regular election. Mrs. c..
N. Wood reported the state executive
board meeting recently held in Hell
ena.
Mrs. Birch, the president, spoke of
the recent poison alcohol scare. There
has never been a greater hoax, she
said. The impression made by the
New York newspapers at Christmas
time was that drinkers died by the
score, deliberately poisoned by pro-
hibitiOn enforcement officers, where.
as an official report shows but one
death attributable to wood alcohol Of
any other d~enaturant. The Othel
deaths were from quantity-not from
quality. "Denatured alcohol is no
connected with prohibition" she said
every government uses poison il
D alcohol to protect industry. Attempt
of the cheaper style wet prOpagan
: dists to blame poison alcohol to tn
dry cause show "a lack Of informs
ftion. Old soaks have for years die
because of their addiction to WOO
alcohol, hair tonic, horse linimen
!. vanilla extract, varnish and other l
:, quors when they could not Obtai
: whiskey."
K The program arranged by Mrs.
A. Shadoan, peace superintendent, ar
Mrs. E. ". Thompson, medal cOnte
superintendent, took the form of
contest in reading, the ~contestan
n being Mesdames F. W. Kately, S. !

ARTICLE No. IS

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 a 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 a 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 A, K, 10, 4
Clubs -7,2
Diamonds = K, 9,3
Spades "A, K, 10,
Should you bid no-trump or one of your
four card suits1 A modern up-to-date
player would bid one spade and see
what happens. II 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 no-trC up bids.
