If you desire OF learn some
thing more about the game of
Auction Bridge, you will have the
opportunity of doing so from the
man who wrote the rules.
Milton C. Work, whose name is
known to every devotee Of this
popular game as an authority,
will be in Indianapolis on Tues
day and Wednesday to demon
strate and explain his methods.
He will be at the L. S. Ayres
e. Co. tea room both afternoons
to talk upon the finer points of
the game and to demonstrate the
actual playing.
The guests will actually play
the game under the supervision
of this master.
There will be open play with
hands spread upon the tables,
a method which has proved to be
very successful and most inter
esting.
Work, who writes a daily les
son on Auction Bridge for The
Times, will arrive Tuesday
morning.
His appearance each afternoon
at the L. S. Ayres & Co. tea
room will give an opportunity
for a limited number of his ad-
mirers to personally meet him
and take advantage of this op-
portunity to learn first hand his
theories and his reasons for his
scientific bidding and playing.
The difference between the ex-
pert player and the amateur is
largely a matter of instruction
and study. The coming of this
most famous of all bridge ex-
perts, who has for years been
looked upon to settle any dis
putes over methods or rules, will
give the opportunity of becoming
an expert.
Because of the limited capac-
ity of the Ayres tea room reser
vations should be made at once
by telephoning Main 5000 and
asking for either the stationery
department or the cashier of the
tea room. The nominal charge of
$3.50 will also include the re-
freshments to be served by the
J.. S. Ayres & Co. tea room to
their guests.
Reservations can be made for
bridge clubs whose membership
may desire to attend in a. body.

brother were to be called before the
grand jury" said Achey. 'EIe told

to be rewarded for it.
Achey claimed that Armitage
called his home three or four times
on the afternoon of April 10. His
mother told him of the calls when
he reached home at $40 p. m. and
in a few moments he was called to
the telephone and recognized James

right away" testified the grand juror.
But told him that had company
and could not do So"
Met Near Home
BY agreement, Ar1nitage drove out
TO Acheys house, parked his car
fifty feet from Achey's home, and
the witness said he went out to talk
to the defendant. He said that his
mother saw the car. Armitage, ac-
cording to Achey, seemed to be
greatly concerned as to whether or
not he or his brother was to be
called before the grand jury.

When the oral spell-off contest be-
gan at 1890 a. m. Tuesday. words
were chosen from the eighth grade
lists. Nothing there would stop the
trio. So, Principal Wyricl, dropped
back to the seventh grade words.
These failed to stop the spoilers.
Finally Lorna Ubell stumbled and
the contest simmered down to the
boy and the girl. Finally sixth grade
words were chosen.
At noon the two determined young
sters had not weakened, so everyone
went to lunch. At lis p. m. the con-

until about 2 o'clock, while words
were being called from the fourth
