Hearts, @, 10, 7, 6; Diamonds, A, @,
6; Clubs, K, 8, S. In connection with
this bid, Work gave his test for de-
Gliding whether a hand is strong
enough for an original Third Hand
No Trump, which requires an Ace
or it's equivalent better than aver
age strength, with three suits
stopped.
In valuing a hand, count an Ace
as 4, a King as 3, a Queen as 2, and
a Jack as l; and if you have three
suits stopped and a count of IA, you
have the equivalent of an Ace better
than average and the strength for
an original Third Hand No Trump.
Works hand counted II, and he
had all four suits stopped, so there
was no question about his bid.
Whitehead (East) was tempted to
make an informatory double. He
held: Spades, 9. 4; Hearts; K, j, 8, q;
Diamonds, K, j, 10, 8; Clubs, A, G,
4. However, he had only two worth
less Spades, so the chances we're
that his double would produce an
answer of two spades from his
partner.
AS that answer might be made
with only four small Spades, Whte-i
head, holding only two small, would
have to go to two No Trumps. in
which there was small chance of
making game in the face of his
partners weakness (shown by her
initial pass, and of Works strength
disclosed by his Third Hand bid.
However, sitting over Works No
Trump. Whitehead was confident he
could stop opponents game, there
fore he elected to pass and play the
hand defensively.
=
A LII passed, and it was up to
IA Mr.. Whitehead to make an
opening lead against Works No
Trump. He selected the Jack Of
Diamonds from the stronger of his
long suits. The Jack is the cor
rect lead from a King-Jack-10
combination.
Mrs. STeeter spread her hand for
Dummy. Work played from it the
9 CT Diamonds; Miss Shelby played
the 3, and Work won with the
Queen.
Work then took time to estimate
the game-going possibilities of his
cards. He could count only foul
sure tricks-the one already won
with the Queen of Diamonds, his
own Ace of Diamonds and Ace Oh
Spades, and Dummy's Ace OF
Hearts.
If he could take double f1nesse
in Spades. and win both illnesses,
he could gain two more tricks. If
the King of Hearts were on his
right, he could win an additional
trick with the Queen of Hearts.
The two additional tricks needed
for game would have to be made
in Clubs. However, these poSsibii-
ties, were far from being probabili-
ties, as Work had only one entry
in Dummy, the Ace of Hearts,
which he could use either to get
to Dummy's Clubs, in case he should
be able to establish the Club suit,
or to take one f1nesse in Spades.
1t seemed to him that the best
chance lay in the establishment of

NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-Opening
prices on the New York stock ex-
change today represented a con-
tinuation of the forward movement
begun in Tuesdays session. Mer-
camille issues, amusements and
specialties continued in urgent de-
mand and pivotal issues were strcng.
However, selling cropped out here
and there, giving the list an
irregular appearance.
Midland Steel preferred spurted
a point to 236, a record high,
Radio Corporation set a new peak
at 981s, up u, and Montgomery
Ward at new altitude of 104A
was up points. LoeWS Inc was in
urgent demand, rising to 591A, up
IL points. American Republica
spurted q to rs.
American Foundry sold at 148,
up 1872 points.
United States Steel, selling ex-
dividend $175, was at 1855, up 4
point. General Motors was mod
erately active, rising to 127. Sears
Roebuck set a new record at 847s,
up rs.
Bullish enthusiasm was revived
by Tuesdays sharp recovery in the
industrial list. Buying orders poured
in from interior points over night
and further gains were scored by
Tuesdays leaders. Montgomery
Ward and Sears-Roebuck attained
new highs, while Stewart Warner
and Mack Truck also gained.
Trading steadily grew in volume
as the morning progressed. Active
stocks were turned over in huge
blocks, taxing the facilities of the
Stock Exchange and causing the
tape to run as much as twenty-one
minutes behind the market
Mail order shares received addi-
tional stimulus from Chicago advices
that November sales were running
we'll ahead of last year. Large chain
stores also will show stable gains in
gross for November. This improve
ment has been due to the Increased
purchasing power in the agricul-
tural districts.

looked like a resumption of the Russian

WATCHING THE PENNIES

The new state board of control and finance. with Senator Edward r. Hall at the helm, made a good beginning by calling the attention of the Standard Oil Co. of New York to the fact that 1t owes the state $23.000 for taxes on gasoline used in the state by the company's ve- hicles. There Is no justice in the company's position that in using it's own gasoline 1t is not selling 1t and therefore Is not amenable to the state gasoline tax law. There was no intention at the time the gasoline tax law was passed to exempt any private vehicles. even those operated by oil companies; and so far as we are aware the Standard is the only one of the various oil companies to attempt this construction of the law.
