MILADY'S MOTORING
By FREDERICK c. RUSSELL
she can obtain best results when driving
conditions change.

Junior probably gets ready to push
down before the pedals reach the top
positions. His mental spark, in other
words, fires in an advanced" way. That
is precisely what we have to do with
the electric spark in the engine to get
best results. It Is for this reason that
you waste power and gas by driving
along with the spark retarded when
the car is on level ground, and why the
engine strains or knocks when you keep
the spark too far advanced on the steep
upgrade.
Some cars carry entirely automatic
spark control so that the driver need
give the matter no consideration what
Soever. But this doesn't alter the fact
that knowledge is any drivers best fuel.
IF the engine habitually stalls when
the car is stopped, the throttle is set to
close too far. A temporary remedy is
to set the hand control up a little for
faster idling.

The open games will attract many play
ers of average ability in addition to the
stars who will vie with each other for
the titles. This tournament, with more
than $50 cups at stake, including those
for top scores in the various sections of
the events, and with probably the largest
entry list of any national tournament
yet held, marks high spot in the aScen-
sion of contract.

Contract Systems.

TN the straightaway method, how many
probable offensive tricks are shown by
original bids of one, two, three, four and
five of a suit? What does partner require
to raise them?
An original bid of one shows four prob
able tricks if the hand is played at the
declaration named, two bid shows six,
three bid eight and a four bid ten prac-
tically sure. To have enough to make
one of these bids partner requires three
opposite one bid, two for two bid, one
for three bid and practically nothing
just a plus value-for a four bid. Thus,
on one bid, plus equals the tricks
bid for; on two bid plus equals the
sought; on three bid, plus equals
the needed; on a four bid, 10 minus a
the 10 contemplated.
1t is easy to remember these amounts
of 4, 6, and almost 10 for original bids
and 3, 2, l and plus for partners sup
port. Partner, with one more supporting
trick than his quota opposite any of these
original bids, can raise the bid one, with
two more he can raise it two levels, and
SO on.
An original bid of five in minor suit
is similar to four bid in major, indi-
eating the need of only fraction of a
trick from partner to be safe, or in other
words, showing IL tricks almost certain
five bid of a major would, of course, be
slam signal and should not be made
unless slam. seems almost sure if partner
holds anything.
One or two original bids require normal
trump support from partner, the equiva-
lent of at least three little trumpS, or else
a take-out should be considered Those
of three or more guarantee enough
trumps so that normal support is not
necessary. Any of the original bids show
at least two high card tricks for purpose
of defense or of entries in case of a take
out by partner. The two bid shows one
more, or total of three, which, however,
may be ace-king queen of the bid suit
The straightaway method is the foun-
dation of all systems, but many players
consider it inadequate for getting the
best results from certain kinds of hands,
and, therefore, alter it. some TO great de-
gree, some to less, in the interests OF
efficiency. How is it altered in the case
of the Vanderbilt" system?

have been cited in which hornets were SO
thick they put out a light.
on the coast, from 3 to S miles two gas
and whistling buoys were reported extinguished
and out of business. An inspection by the
Lighthouse Service revealed the fact that the
buoys were so full of hornets that the lights
could not continue to burn. The hornets APP
parently took their tip from horsefiies who
made similar trouble few years ago.

When the Fish Bite Best.

THE fisherman who waits IN vain to get a

might find the reason in a bit of verse handed

When the wind is in the south, blows the bait
In fish's mouth:
When the wind is In the west then the fish

Partners honor lead says he has an
'fhonor combination"-at least three of
the six highest spades, at least two of
which are touching honors." Hence he
has, in addition to the jack, the ten and
at least one other honor which cannot
be the queen; otherwise he would have
led the queen. So what is his other
honor?
When you hold hand A, you know his
other high card can't be the 9, which is
in dummy, and it can't be the ace, for
you hold it; therefore, his remaining
honor is the king, and declarer holds the
queen. You play the ace. therefore, and
return the for lead through the de-
clarer's queen up to partners king-ten,
and he runs the rest of the suit.
Holding B, you know partner has the
ace and declarer the queen, so you play
your king and return the through the
declarer's queen.
Holding c, you know partner has the
ten and either the ace or king; which of
the latter you cannot tell The queen
should be your play, however, which will
force declarer to take that trick imme-
diately instead of waiting for a later
round, in case his stopper is the king;
he cannot afford to let you win the trick
and lead the suit through him to your
partners ace-ten. If his high card hap
pens to be the ace, nothing is lost by
your playing the king. So, with some
thing to gain and nothing to lose, the
queen should be played.
