ARTICLE No. S

No original bid is sound if based sole
ly on the cards held by one player. For
example, if the dealer holds the follow
ing hand:
Hearts "A, K, 10, ia
Clubs IS, 4,
Diamonds 80
Spades Is, ~
he is justified in bidding one heart "a
contract to win seven of the thirteen
tricks. With his own hand, however, he
can only hope to win four tricks with
hearts as trumps, 50 why is the bid
sound? The explanation is simple. If
the dealer wins four of the thirteen
tricks, nine tricks will be won by the
other three players, one of whom is the
dealers partner. If these tricks are even
ly divided, each player will win three
tricks. Therefore, the dealer with four
tricks and his partner with three will
average to win seven tricks as part
nership. This result thus makes the bid
of one heart with the above hand a
sound bid, for since the dealer is justi-
ned In expecting three tricks in his
partners hand he incorporates this ex-
pectancy in his original bid. This expec-
fancy of three tricks from partner yet
to bid is called the average expectancy
of support" and should be an element
of every sound original bid. That is
what is meant by the statement at the
beginning of this article. Every original
bid includes not only the tricks in ones
own hand but also the three tricks part
ner is expected to hold. Every sound
original bid, therefore, is bid to take
the number of tricks bid with twenty
six cards, not thirteen. All succeeding
bids should also follow this principle
and endeavor to get the best results
from twenty-six rather than thirteen
cards. The problem hands given in the
preceding article are good illustrations
of this principle.

the second game. If Z bid one no-trump
and A doubled, what should Y bid with
the foregoing hand1 Y is now in a posi-
ton where he has two strong suits to
offer his partner as chance for game.
He should, therefore, bid two diamonds
over the double and if overbid by his
partner or either opponent, he should
bid his clubs. 1t is strictly up to Y to
show his partner both suits and thus
enable him to decide which one offers
the best chance for game with the COM

THANKS. AIMEE

Aimee Semple Mcpherson has start
ed on a nationwide evangelistic
tour" the routine of which fortunate
ly misses Minneapolis by good five
hundred miles. Perhaps Aimee did
not think there was enough easy
money up in this neck of the woods.
Or she may have heard that the peo-
pie of the Northwest do not flock as
freely as the more gullible folk of
other sections to circus revivals or
ganized primarily to get the money,
and only secondarily to keep the un-
enlightened from perishing in their
sins.
Be that as it may, it certainly looks
as if Aimee, freed from the legal
charges that long hung over her, is
deliberately setting to capitalize her
nauseous notoriety.
In each city that she visits, many
doubtless will turn out, not to hear
the Word preached, but to glimpse the
woman who figured so conspicuously
in the Los Angeles case.-Minneapo-
lis Journal.

Mrs. ]. K. Campbell of Slayton

the distinction and pleasure of meet

Cabinet members the latter part of

together they left Sunday for WASH

a conference called by Mrs. Alvin T..

An elaborate program has been
prepared for the capitol visitors, the
most important of which no doubt is
the personal visit with President Cool

STAY WITH THE SHIP

President Coolidge, in his message
to Congress, stressed national econ
omy as an every-urgent need. The
enormous revenues of the government
are "a charge on all the people wheth-
er or not they directly pay taxes"
He takes the ground that what ev-
er distress may exist for the farmers
can be traced directly to initiation
which followed the war. But he as
serts that, with some exceptions as
to localities and crops, agriculture
is continuing to make progress in re-
covering from the depression of 1921
and 1922"
Speaking Of the nation as whole
he says: what this country requires
is not so much new policies as a
steady continuation of those which
are already being crowned with such
abundant success"

MANY HOLIDAYS

1t has often been said that we have
too many so-called holidays, legal or
otherwise. When an event of some
Importance in our history takes place
someone wants to make every ami
versary of this day legal holiday.
Likewise when a person of some
prominence dies some one will sug-
gest the anniversary of such mans
birth be made holiday, thereby con-
tinuing down through ages the men,
DRY of this man and sort Of make him
immortal.
Men, deeds and occasions of great
Importance may be worthy of honor
and glorification, but we doubt if the
object is attained just by naming a
holiday in memory of these and close
schools and other institutions, also,
that might serve society better in its
regular routine.
The numerous holidays have come
to be real draw back in school work,
breaking into the general school work
several times a month. In Minnesota
the month of November is now so
broken up by holidays and "free
days" in school that the value of the
work done during the month must be
very much reduced. Beginning with
election day, for which there seems
to be little excuse for making hoh-
day, next comes two or three days
that the teachers are allowed off for
attendance at the state educational
association, Armistice Day, November
IL and finally Thanksgiving, for
which usually is allowed two days.
February has two holidays that inter-
fere with the school work rather than
tending to make the children more
patriotic and better citizens, because
they have day off from school.
When these days come at the begin
ming or the end of the school week
the loss is not so great, but when a
free day occurs in the middle Of the
week it interferes with the regular
work to greater extent.
There seems to be good reasons for
revising our system of holidays, and
especially should the month OF No
vember be given some attention in the
way of rearranging the holidays dur-
ing the month.-Lake City Graphic
Republican.

HIGH COST OF CRIME

Crime is expensive. Aside from the
value of human life, the cost Of hunt
ing down murderer is something to
be considered. Take the case of Don
R. Mellett, the Canton, Ohio, publish
er, who was slain because he attack
ed the lawless element of that city in
his newspaper. Altogether something
like 100000 was expended in the in
vestigation following the crime. This
sum does not include the amounts

BARGAIN TELEPHONE SERVICE

The third telephone line to cross
the continent without relay will soon
be put into operation between Seat
tie and New York. 1t has cost mil
lions of dollars to build, but it had to
be constructed to serve the public.
Every line extension brings need for
better equipment, more operators,
more offices; but every extension null
tiplies the value of every phone.
Widening telephone service is a ma
tional necessity, for business cannot
be conducted today without it. The
telephone may cost as much as 1t
did 80 years ago. But it gives a
thousand times the service. That
makes the American telephone bar
gain compared with phone service IN
other countries.

other Ace Hudkins, the welterweight

colonel as he halls from Mineola,

A few years ago when the now
famous flyer was learning to handle

he knew a tough and determined
young novice fighter named Hudkins.
When he learned the ace was to
battle on the card tonight. the ace
of the air accepted at once the in
vitation to be present.
For the benefit of the guest of
honor. who still has some enga ge-
ments to keep during his brief stay
here. the Hudkins- Baker fight is to
be moved forward on the card. Pro-
ceeds will go to the Catholic Boys
clubs.
