trick. In the latter case, the third

hauSted the adverse trumps. estab-
lished South's Diamonds, used a
trump in the South hand as entry.
and discardlng his own losing Club
on South's long Diamonds.
The Contract Bridge bidding of
thi shand would be quite interest
ing. South would start with one
Diamond. Just as in Auction. West
might be more timid about bidding
the Heart. but in the opinion OF Mr..
Work, she should do so. Mr. Work
finds that In Contract players are
too prone TO abstain from follow
ing bids which they would unhesi-
tatinglv make in Auction. and
which in Contract often prove TO
be valuable.
After Vests one Heart. North
should bid two Spades. The bid OF
the unnecessary number would be
made to show real strength to
South. and would be fully justified
BY the fact that South had bid I'M
italy. Without South's bid. ono
SPADE would be the most that
North could declare.
After North's two Spades. East
would be placed in an embarrassing
position. There is much to be said
for his hand. and nc could safely
bid three Hearts il his partners
had been an initial Heart bid. How
ever. the partner OF a player who
has made a following bid should
be careful In assisting that bid be-
cause IL has not shown the strength
that an initial bid would Gllaran-
tee. However. as East could not
know that West did not have
strength for an initial bid. and as
West has a doubleton in one of the
adverse suits. he probably would
feel justified In risking the three
Heart bid. although Of course he
would be happier about it If North
he'd bid only one Spade. so that

he could show his assistance By
bidding two Hearts.
AS far as the determination or
who Is 10 be Declarer and the size
Of the contract Is concerned. Il
would not matter whether East bid
or pass: in either event South
would bid four Spades. II is true
that he has already announced his
Diamonds. but he has not shown
his great strength In his partners
suit. nor the value Of his hand in
support OF Spades by reason Of its
having only a singleton Of the ad-
verse suit.
III East gave his Heart assist. the
play would be the same in both
games: but If East were shut out
by North's two Spades. West might
not feel justified in making her

$780, 900, 900 Spent
On World War Veterans

From the Portland Oregon Journal
To date, the people Of the United
States have spent $4,75o ,oo0 900 in the
care of veterans Of the World War. In
surance for veterans now in force totals
more than $4,000, 100000.
During one month Of this year more
than 71,o00 veterans were receiving
treatment in hospitals. Approximately
10000 more were in vocational train
ing work.
It Is highly proper that the people Of
this country should have spent the
nearly $4,000, ooo, 900 that has already
been expended in. care Of the veterans.
It Is highly proper that they shall keep
on spending until the last veteran has
been given all the care that his case
requires. It is highly proper that those
who fought the country's battles should
be provided with insurance exceeding
$4,000, 100000 It II highly proper that
every veteran who needs it should have
hospital attention and that every vet
benefit of vocational education. The
soldiers took UP the fight for the coun-
try and 1t is the duty Of the country
to give back to them all that they can
reasonably require.
But the figures tell another story,
and that story q that war with its costs
Is not over, with the signing of an
armistice. It Is not over when the peace
treaties are completed. The costs In
human life are not over when the pen
Is placed to the peace treaty.
