BRIDGE TALKS

In these talks I have tried to stay
away from "don'tS' as far as possible.
because believe that too many ''don'ts''
are confusing; but there are two hold
ings which arise so often in actual
play, that I think it is necessary to
warn you against them.
The first of these is the five-trick
hand, divided over four suits, and which
is a beautiful hand for a one no trump
bid. With a hand of this character, If
your partner does not raise you, and
there Is an intervening bid; the hand
does not warrant an increase from
one no trump to two no trump, but
should be used to double the intervening
bid, insisting that your partner name
his best suit.
So often does this situation arise
that I am going to illustrate with a
typical hand, because it presents such
a tempting picture, even to the most
experienced player. Dealer bids one
no trump, second hand bids two hearts,
third and fourth hands pass, and deal
er, holding the following, doubles:
Spades, Ace. SACK, s.
Hearts. Ace s.
Diamonds. King. Queen. Jack, ;.
Clubs, King, Queen, T. 5.
This is undoubtedly q pretty hand,
but dealer cannot bid two no trump.
White Ills uOuDle Calls lUT his partner y
best suit, regardless of what his partner
may bid, this hand will be of wonderful
assistance.
The second don't" hand, is the So
called four ace holding. That is a
hand in which you hold the ace of each
suit, without any other positive trick
in the hand. Immediately the ques-
ton arises, this hand is worth 100 in
honors, and to cash in that 100 in
honors. many players are tempted TO
take chances that experience shows
they have no possibility of winning
What has been said of the five-trick
hand above, can be as we'll applied to
this holding. The proper thing to do
is to double the intervening bid by the
opponent, for your partners informa-
ton, asking him to bid his best suit
and not to raise your own bid from one
to two no trump.
The following hand held by dealer
on which he bids one no trump, illus
trates the four-ace holding:
Spades, Ace, 8, 8.
Diamonds, Ace. 5, 3.
Clubs, Ace, g. Z.
This Is a hand containing what is
commonly called 100 aces" or a hand
on which 100 could be scored in the
honor score II the declaration hap
pened to be no trump. Dealer in this
case bids one no trump, second hand
passes, third passes, and fourth hand
bids two spades. Looking at this hand
carefully you can easily see how much
better 1t would be to double this bid of
two spades. which would be an informa-
tory double, asking your partner to bid
his best suit: than to 60 ahead and bid
two no trump. and possibly be set
With any kind Of hand, containing a
few high cards your partner, with this
strong hand for help is not likely to
go down.
Never let the so-called 100 honors"
in your hand influence you in the bid
ding when there is a possibility of get
ting together with your partner and try
ing for game, or even partial score.

Balanced Reduction Diet.

II you have common sense about your
food you can reduce yourself by the
really easy way, which Is by eating fruit,
vegetables and thin soups. salads and
only few forms of starchy foods. How
ever, II you really have sense about
your food you'll probably never grow SO
stout that you have to reduce!
However, some people cannot stand
too much of an all-fruit and green
vegetable diet. With some, this develops
acidity. And it does not much matter,
so far as losing weight goes, whether
you eat fruit and vegetables in album
dance or lesser amount Of meat, pota-
toes and your usual sweets and pud-
dings.
You have only to keep the entire
daily allowance of your food down to
a caloric value of 1900. You must re-
duce on 1900 calories a day; it is the
scientific average. II you are tremen-
dously heavy, you can go up to l 500 n
day, and gradually bring the amount
down to 1900. This amount is 1000
calories less than a normal days allow
ance. and a lot less than the amount
you have been eating to put on weight.
Have only black coffee and thin
square of toast for your breakfast. Eat
the mildest lunch, mostly lettuce leaves,
a roll or muffin, the teeniest amount Of
butter. coffee with hot milk, or tea with
lemon, and, as q change, reducing
mayonnaise on the lettuce or the small
est bit of roQuefort cheese dressing.

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

October %. IS60.-The local base ball
championship was settled today when
the Potomac Club defeated the Nation
| al Club with a score of 80 to 16 runs.
For several reasons the game excited
more interest than any other base ball
game ever played here. The question
Of superiority has long been undecided,
and as this match was intended as a
test its deciding game was matter OF
| the greatest Importance to both clubs.
The PotomaCs. unwilling to admit that
they played better on their own grounds
than elsewhere, gave their opponents
the choice of the grounds and the Ma
tionals chose their own.
The Potomacs were somewhat short
handed. Trook and P. Wise, two OF
their strongest batterS and best f1elders,
were absent and their loss was much
felt, though their substitutes played well
and efficiently throughout the game.
Roach. Hartley, Bigger. Robinson and
Flaherty we're strongest at the bat. each
striking some telling balls. Bigger's
pitching was even and true, and he
fielded in tiptop style. fastening IN
every ball that came near him.
Hartley managed the second base
well, stopping and fielding the ball
handsomely to first base. Wood, though
unusually unfortunate at the bat, played
gloriously in the right, and Roach on
the third base played with steadiness
and quickness.
George Hibbs, Dooley and Beale, OF
the Nationals went into the 'corking"
line pretty largely. the latter leading
the score OF his side Beale. as short,
and Dooley, in the left, flelded beautl-
fully and French on the second played
with his usual certainty. George Hibbs
has a magnetic attraction for balls, for
they seem to pass him and then come
back. His fielding was even and sure
though his pitching lacked its usual
regularity. Ed Hibbs made his first APP
pearance in a match, and though not
up to the mark at the bat, did pretty
we'll on the third. Frank White on the
first base played well--SO well that
Browns absence was not felt.
The umpire was Carl Yulee, of the
Washington Club. His decisions were
clear and impartial. and no dissenting
voice was heard in regard to them.
The victorious Potomac Club wants
to get a game or two with Baltimore
club, but the players of that city have
decided to postpone final hearing"
until the Spring.

KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
BY JOSEPH JASTROW.

those of neurotic tendency Is having
their nerves on their minds in any
sense, and any one who will develop a
technique for that will be a savior OF
mankind. There's nothing easier to say
than Forget it." and nothing harder To
do. Freud sums it all up by saying that
hystericalS suffer from their memories
they can't forget. When they outWit
their conscious memories the Subcon-
scious registers and keeps the sore alive
That's how he would explain the case
of fear-shock of the war just cited. To
Freud neuroSiS is a case of imperfect
forgetting. We state it popularity by
saying that we just can't get over it.
The insult rankleS; the disappointment
just keeps on troubling. You are not
reconciled to your fate, so your adjust
ment suffers as to your job or whatever
you have in hand. You are distressed,
distracted or unhappy because you can't
forget.
What you have to outwit is your
memory, and when those memories are
saturated with emotion the drowning OF
care is not the simple matter OF out
whiting that the books make out. It's
long struggle and slow, hard fight.
It's a matter Of ups and downs at best.
So in the end what all the writer's
and all the readers of these many books
on nerve control are aiming at is get
ting the better OF your nerves." not
necessarily by your wits, for the intel
lectual part of the process is small
part of it, but by the combined exercise
of your courage, your determination
and the regulation Of your life by a
scheme which shall not be self-centered
or health-centered.
But-and 1t is so large a but that 1t
deserves capital letterS-that's a very
different problem when you have inner
tied a set of nerves that kicks up the
very devil on the least provocation or
one that takes an emotional cyclone to
disturb. All programs Of nerve control
not adjusted to the great range of indi-
vidual differences are futile. Strength
ening our powers Of resistance is far
better policy than outwitting nerves.

What do you do with checks that

them at once or do you put them IN
some forgotten place?
Perhaps you have tried to cash
"stale" check and been told by, your
bank that it is past date. While the
difference of a few days will not usu-
ally result in that situation, cheek
that is several weeks or months OLD
will not always be honored.
Never hold check over. II you cam
not cash it at once, indOrse it In favor
of your account and mall it to your
bank to be credited to you. 1t costs
YOU but two minutes and 2 cents, and
you avoid possible loss or embarrass-
ment.
Sometimes a check is held over so
long that the drawer of the check
thinks it Is lost and stops payment on
&. It is even possible that an account
will be closed out while ones check Is
lying in a dresser drawer or unused

II one holds check long enough the
possibility of losing 1t increases.
Many women have discovered that II
they had deposited their checks prompt
ly they would have avoided the bank

minimum daily balance. 1t is too bad
to learn that holding out check cost
one a couple of dollars.

The village never took Lita Chaplin'S
engagement to Roy Darcy very seri-
ously. When the engagement was
broken the lady gave the somewhat
naive excuse that she was doing so well
financially" there was mo need to gel

Mary Philbin's engagement to Paul

it has become legendary. The exquisite
little cameo face is being seen less and
less in pictures Paul Kohner, who
once was Mary Philbin'S shadow, often
appears with other groups publicly. A

The situation has become casual-and

Bridegrooms-to-be are being feted in
the village in a somewhat unusual
fashion.
Their friends invite them to a STAG
dinner. The bridegroom is called fol
in a hearse of ancient make, with his
friends seated inside, weeping into

and high purpose, but the germs OF
jealousy gnawed savagely within her.
Her husband had reason to believe that
she was going through his pockets In
search Of discriminating evidence.
Actually he had eyes for none save
his wife. He dared not walk beside
woman. To prove his suspicious, ne de-
cided to take a chance on creating
rumpus that might forever end the
wife'S suspicious. He asked friend TO
fake" a woman's handwriting and ad-
dress a letter to him. In 1t were en-
dearing terms and the suggestion OF an
appointment to meet at certain
trySting place. The letter was then in
serted in an inside coat pocket.
One night he deliberately left the
coat on a chair in the bedroom while
he went downstairs to fix the furnace.
He remained III the cellar long enough,
as he thought, for the wife to make
a quick pass through his pockets. OF
course. she discovered the letter. She
said nothing about it at the time, but
several days later she inquired at the
breakfast table who Birdie was. Pre-
tending to be embarrassed, he mumbled
something to the effect that he didn't
know of any Birdie.
"Oh, you two-faced creature" ex-
claimed the trate wife. You dare
have the effrontery to sit there and
deny you know woman named Birdie.
Why she is even writing you letters"
The husband could suppress his
mirth no longer and explained how he
had had the letter written to prove
that she was examining his pockets.
Naturally the wife refused to believe
it. He was simply trying to evade the
issue. Another phone story. He was
like all his sex.
Eventually she accepted the truth,
but not until the friend who had writ
ten the letter was produced and swore
that he had participated in the frame
