ed the 7 of Spades; Mr.. White
head the 8.
Mr.. Work then led the 5 of
Spades, ~overtaking with Dummy'S
Queen. Mr.. Jones, west, discarded
the 2 Of Clubs; Mr.. Whitehead,
East, dropped his last Spade, the
10-Spot.
Dummy then led the King Of
Clubs, giving Mr.. Work, Declarer,
the much desired discard of his
Queen Of hearts. Mr.. Whitehead,
east, discarded the 7 of Diamonds:
Mr.. Jones, West, played the z of
Clubs.
Mr.. Work, Declarer. then laid
down his hand, ~conceding the Ace
OF Diamonds and claiming the rest
Ct the tricks. His claim was allow
ed, and he therefore scored four
odd on the hand, with So trick
points, and 40 for four honors di-
vided.
In Contract, the play of this
hand would be exactly the same as
in Auction. The bidding, however,
would be distinctly different, &C
cording to Mr.. Works analysis.
There are many different systems
OF initial bids in Contract, but Mr..
Work gives preference to the n
which would bid three Spades on
South's hand, although he recog-
nlzes that many players would bid
only two.
However. by bidding three, MI.
Work would make certain that his
partner would jump him to four if
he had a probable trick. 1t needs
only that much in partners hand
to make a game-going bid desir-
able.
OF course, for those whose two
bid forces the partner to bid. two
IN this case would be amply suffi-
clent; but that is a system which,
IN Mr.. Works opinion, produces
many losses in the long run. Mr..
Work does not want to force his
partner to bid with a bust hand.
on the other hand, by bidding the
tull strength Of his own hand. he
enables his partner to read his
strength in the most satisfactory
manner, thereby producing the best
DID hat IS in the two hands.

generals eyes as he looked down upon
the smallest of the pages handing Mrs.
Dawes, a white, gayly ribboned box i'll
which lay cOrsage of orchids and
heard him tell her that "the boys will
miss you" Touched deeply by the
manifestation Of affection, the former
Vice President shook hands all around
and told them all he would always re-
member their kindnesses.
Just before he went to his train Gen.
Dawes reached down into the pocket
of his topcoat and handed Arthur Mar
tin, the Colored waiter who attended to
his wants at the Capitol, one of the
undressing pipes for which Dawes is
famous.
"Lordy, general" whispered the wait
err i'll great surprise my children and
my children who are going to be will
never forget this"
The former Vice President himself
had one of the pipes in his mouth at
the time and had to grab it quickly to
keep it from falling as he laughed with
the others.
A friend of Mrs Dawes drew her
from the gathering and told her ito
just look at the faces of those boys,
how happy they are"
"Oh. yes" replied Mrs. Dawes simply,

handling of German property during
the World War, was granted his free
