Be Familiar With the {
CeptionS to Denial
Rule,
BY Milton @. Work

The pointer for today is: 4
Players should be familiar With
the exceptions to the denial rule.
Yesterdays article gave five hands
supposed to be held by North. South
Dealer) having bid one Spade and
West having passed, the question
in each was what North should de.
clare.
l.. Sp.: xxx. HIT, Ace King-Jack-
XXX. Dr.: x. CT; Ace-Jack-x.x.
Pass. To bid two Hearts is tempt
ing with that strength; but the suit
has not the length to Justly a seem
ing denial of normal support for
South's Spades. South might not re.
bid Spades after North had denied
them, and yet the combined hands
might have a game with Spades and
not with Hearts. The short Dia-
monds make it probable that North
will be forced to ruff that suit early.
and it is better to ruff from Dummy
! than from the Closed Hand. After
once passing, North should bid
Hearts if either adversary overcall
and South do not rebid Spades.
2. Sp.: xxx. Ht.: -INng-Jack-
xxx. Di.: X. CT: Ace-Jack-x.
Two Hearts. A close question but
with the other Major a six-carder
headed by Ace-King- Jack, a seeming
denial is justified even with the nor
NAL support of three small Spades.
1t is possible that the opening bid
has been made with a four-card suit.
3. Sp.: xxx. Ht.: Ace King
Jack-x-x-x. Di.; None. CT: Ace
JackX.
Pass. Although the Heart suit is
identical with No. 2, the fourth
Spade more than normal supporD
makes denying most inadvisable.
Even if South have only four Spades,
the hand must work satisfactorily
with that suit the trump.
4. Sp. King-x. Ht.: Ace-King-
Jack-x. Dr.; Xxx. CT; Ace-Jack-
Xxx.
Pass. King and one is normal
support. The weak Diamonds should
preclude any thought of No Trump,
and a shift to a fourcard Heart suit
would be most unwise; so would
overcalling with the five-card Club
suit, as that not only would deny
Spades but also would announce
Nothing but Clubs here"
Lrinory A.
Xxx. Di.: King-Jack-x. CT: Ace

One No Trump. In spite of the
normal Spade support, the great
strength in all three remaining suits
and the almost ideal No Trump dis
tribution plainly point to No Trump
as the best declaration.

After men learned how to calcu-
late and reconcile the phenomena Of
nature to a reasonable extent, it was
long while before they were able
to devise methods, and machinery
for measuring time.
AS a general proposition, all the
older civilizations ate, slept and
went to work by the sun.
Clocks as we know them did not
come into existence until about 400
years ago.
Such personages as Socrates. AL
exander the Great, Moses and Virgil
never knew what it was to look at
wrist watch. The best they could
do was read q sun dial, and that
didn't do much good on a cloudy day.

by old timers as being the man who got his start by visiting fish traps. according to "Frenchy" Martin who made these charges in the pre- sence of several deputy Marshals, a United States Marshal, and of MT. Nunan of the New England Fish Company, and many others.
 Steve has grown rich now from traps which he owns and which he thinks should be guarded by the United States government against trap robbers.
 He was in Seattle the other day and being far from home, he talk ed, in part as follows from the Se~ attle P. l.:
 thousands of silver dollars swim past you in the briny deep and for hidden to dip your net.
 That, almost literally, is the big situation of the big Alaska fishing operators because of the new gov ernment regulations looking to the preservation of the salmon, accord ing to Steve Selig, Ketchikan trap owner, who, with his wife arrived yesterday at the Frye Hotel
 AT HEIGHT OF RUN
 ''We have to stop fishing for a month right at the height of the run," Selig declared. ''The first year it was tried out, I nearly pass ed out. There right under my boat were hundreds of thousands of sal mon swimming toward the mouths of the streams and me letting them go. I saw a new car, trip to the States, and few other things swimming past.
 "But it's for the best because it means the preservation of one of Alaska's vital industries. So few salmon were getting upstream to spawn that eventually the species would have become extinct.
