Mrs Hubbard identified herself
with the modern school OF bidding
by opening with. one heart This
declaration was in direct opposition
70 the former theory that QUEEN
nigh suits never should be bid
tiilitially. or, II bid. that they should
beA ear-marked by calling two in.
stead OF one.
There are many hands, Of the
type OF that held by Mrs. Hubbard,
which are entirely too strong to
pass. and with which the queen.
high suit is distinctly the best de.
claTation. When the old theory,
that such hands should be passed
on the first round, and bid second.
artly IL at all, is adhered to. II
frequently results in the passing
out OF a hand which, If bid BY
dealer, would have produced game
for his side.
Furthermore, to follow the theory
that with such hands a bid OF two
should be made in order to show
that the suit named does not con-
tain an ace or king, also results
most unsatisfactory. This two
bid. once generally conventional.
has now been abandoned. AS Mr..
Work expressed it, 1t is obviously
foolish to contend that hand not
strong enough for a bid Of one
should be opened with two.
Two Quick Tricks
In making her bid OF one heart.
Mrs Hubbard followed the modern
convention which sanctions the
original bid Of a five.card suit headed
BY king and one other honor. or
queen and one other honor, provided
the hand contains TWO quick tricks
on the side. These two quick tricks
may be either two aces (as in this
lnstancel, one ace ana one king.
queen, or two king.queens. Mrs.
Hubbard preferred the heart to 4
llo.trump because Of the singleton
diamond. She also preferred the
major bid to a club declaration,
which also would have been sound.
Mr.. Whitehead, the next bidder,
said one spade. He showed good
judgment in bidding instead Of
doubling automatically, as some
would have done. The spade decla.
ration gave him q chance to show
the character OF his hand with q, low
bid; being following bid. it did not
necessarily announce two quick
tricks. Had he doubled, he probably
would have received minor answer
from Mrs. Streeter, over which he
would have had to. bid two spades.
Mr.. Work, North. with good
assistance for his partners heart
suit, said two hearts.
East" Passes
Mrs. Streeter passed. Although she
had normal support for Mr.. White
heads spades, she did not have suf-
ficient high card strength to justify
raise. nor was her hand strong
enough for three diamonds.
The others passed, making Mrs.
Hubbard declarer with her contract
two hearts.

usual spring activity Is opening up
20 days ahead of schedule. with
the winter fairly mid. marked only

An optimistic note on the spring
business outlook in the automobile
industry, discounting the .saturafion
point bugaboo and pointing out
favorable conditions throughout the
country. Il sounded in e statement
just issued BY William K. Knudsen,
president and general manager Of
the Chevrolet Motor Company.
I'm forecastipg continuance Of
good business prospects for the
spring months, am perhaps In
fluenced by the aspect Of our own
sales which have never been better
in the history Of the company" said
Knudsen.
las evidencing steady growth in
automobile pvoduction during this
period, statistics issued BY the
United States Department OF Com

1926, 2.450,7s0.
Business ON Upgrade
with these figures showing bust
ness on the upgrade generally, there
are only two reasons which could be
advanced for possible decrease in
sales-first. reaching the so-called
'saturation point - and second, a
