Would you pass as most players would
do or would you bid two no-trump1 The
purpose of the latter bid is to shut out a
bid of two hearts or two diamonds by
fourth hand. If this bid should be made
and your partner passes, you are not
strong enough either to bid two no
trump or double. On the other hand, if
you bid two no-trump, it is very un-
likely that fourth hand will be strong
enough to bid three of a suit but if he
does you should double. A bid of two
no-trump with the hand given will
score game, but if you pass, fourth hand
would have bid two hearts and game
then becomes impossible. Be on the
alert for such hands and don't hesitate
to bid two no-trump when there is a
good reason for doing so.
The writer has frequently warned his
readers of the dangers of preemptive
bids unless properly used. Here is a
hand that illustrates the point:

PUT it down now for double-riveted,
cOpper-cOrnered fact: Prince Albert will
give you more pleasure to the cubic inch
than any other tobacco you ever packed
in pipe. Maybe Pm prejudiced. Even
SO, my statement holds. I'll leave it to
you, after your first P. A. pipe-load.
Buy tidy red tin of P. A. and follow
these simple directions: Tuck about
thimbleful into the bowl of your favorite
pipe. Light up, and pull that cool, con-
sOling smoke up the stem. Exhale slowly
and get the full benefit of that wonderful
Prince Albert taste.

deaIer2 This hand is not one with which
to make preemptive bid of five clubs.
1t has too much strength in the side
suits and thus contains too many posi-
bilities both as no-trump proposition
and as an assisting hand for partner to
justify an opening bid of five clubs. The
proper bid is unquestionably one club
and see what happens. If your partner
overbids and he certainly will if he has
bid no-tramp, if advisable, or rebid
your clubs. The one club bid is much
more flexible than no-trump because it
gives a much better chance to find the
best bid of the combined hands than
the no-trump bid. 1t is an interesting
hand and should We carefully noted.
Here is a most unusual hand in that
there is only one way to make game.
See if you can figure t out.

SAYS GERMAN PLANES
 NEED BETTER ENGINES

Berlin, R-Airplane engines constitute the chief problem con fronting German Aerial naviga- tion today. in the opinion of Dr. Walthar Huth. president of the German Airvehicle Manufacturers Association. German engines, he stated at the annual meeting of the association, are not big enough for transatlantic flying. While airplane and airship construction is on a high level in all other res poets, he observed. the question of more effective engines must be given special attention. Dr. Huh agrees with Clarence D. Chamber lin, who emphasized that trans Oceanic flights are simply ques- tion of ..bigger and better engines.
 Director Otto J. Merkel of the Lufthansa. another speaker at the annual meeting. agreed with Dr. Huh as far as motors are con cerned. but insisted that numerous instruments for night and fog flights must be added to the equipment of air pilots before flying will be perfectly safe.

Mills, former Federal prohibition administrator of the Second Federal District, declar- ed he was inducted into the service on the assurance that politics would play no part in the enforcement Of the prohibition laws, but he was bounded by the Government and the bootleggers' spies, and harassed by politicians, and so frequently warn ed from Washington to "go easy" with politics, that he soon found himself hamstrung and finally driv- en out of office.
 He said, in part: q was convinc- ed that if I avoided irritating the politicians and confined my efforts to hopping up the streamlets of bottled beer instead of damm:ng and destroying the sources of sup ply, I would have been undisturb- ed.

 STOP STUNT FLYING

New York, Sept. g, P-stunt flights and men who back them a- nancially for the sake of the re- sulting publicity should not be countenanced, in the opinion of Harry Guggenheim, president of the Daniel Guggenheim fund for the promotion of aeronautics. He told the Associated Press: "By stunt flights I mean flights that do nothing for the advancement of aviation; flights which merely ac- complish precisely what another flight had already done with the same or inferior equipment and stunt flights.
 "Lindbergh was not a stunt flyer because he was blazing the trail The Federal Government should have greater authority than it has to be exercised through the De- partment of Commerce to see that every airplane is licensed"
