Reducing Mine Danger.

ONE Of the most prolific sources Of mine
fatalities and one that could be eliminated
to q large extent with . little care Is that
involved in the caving-in Of mine roofs.
It Is considered advantageous many times
to allow the roof of low-ceilinged galleries to
cave in, permitting the mining of large Quanti-
ties Of coal without the necessity OF breaking
it out Of the vein by hand or machine.
In mining by this method it Is customary TO
erect pillars to support the roof and then mine
short distance beyond the locations of o
pillar. When the work has progressed to the
desired point the pillar IL removed. As the
ceiling is likely to cave in at almost any moment
thereafter many miners are caught before they
can get from beneath the falling mass. It Is
the practice too frequently to remove the pillar
with pick or sledge, and IL the collapse Is
immediate thereafter the miner welding the
pick or bar has little chance TO escape.
The Bureau, of Mines Is recommending that
this hazard be eliminated through the substi-
tuition Of q post pulIer which Is operated with
chain or rope safe distance hack from the
portion Of the ceiling expected TO collapse. In
order 10 aid the work Of pulling the pillar out
Of position small block only two or three
inches thick Is placed on top Of the pillar when
k Is flrst put in position. This aids In the
buckling Of the pillar.

South naturally opens, under amy syS-
tenn, with perfectly obvious bid Of one
spade. Many players holding the West
hand would double, but this might risk
q pass by partner II he held length in
the spade suit and an otherwise worth
less hand. There Is Just one way that
West can compel his partner to bid-by
bidding two spades. At such an early
stage Of the bidding, partner not having
bid, this does not in any way indicate
strong probability Of slam: but only
virtual certainty of game If correct fit
with partners hand can be found.
Mrs. Nan P De Wolf, one of the truly
progressive teachers in New York social
circles, happened to hold the West hand
during this deal, which she considers an
ideal illustration of the merits of that
conventional bid. Her two-spade call
was followed by North's pass, whereupon
her husband IN the East bid two no
trump, showing that he had the spades
stopped twice. MRS. De Wolf, with surely
O fairly emphatic third spade trick In
her ace, bid three no-trump. The proof
Of the pudding was In the eating, for.

Here Is another type Of situation in
vOlving the problem Of whether 70 bid

which made defeat Of the no trump dec
1aration the most profitable move.
The bidding most certainly may "go
around again" In fact, it continues to
go around as often as necessary until
such time as three players pass in sue
ceSSion.
Such an informatory double shows
strength enough to take the responsible
ity for bid by partner with worthless
hand. It is informatory when the bid is
one no trump and partner has not bid
or doubled; or when the bid is one or
two OF q suit, partner has not bid or
doubled, and the double Is made at the
first opportunity to double that decla-
ration-or, as some define it, at first OPP
portunity 70 double any declaration.
Some even make doubles Of three Of
suit informatory at all times If partner
has not bid or doubled and it is first
chance to double. But in the situation
given, any experienced players double
would be informatory.

Maybe Nobody;s Sane.

make a long distance phone call
from Texas to New York to get his query
answered! That happened the other
day, when Wilbur c. Whitehead an

this hand:

He explained that, IN his system, five
card suit headed by ace-jack-ten re-
quired full quick trick ON the side
the very stand his communicate took.
The latter hung on the phone nearly an
hour, going into great detail about the
matter. Late In the evening came an
other call from Dallas, from another
Whitehead follower who took the oppO-
site attitude, arguing that the ace-iack-
ten constituted one and half quick
tricks, according to Whitehead, the side
king bringing the hand 10 the full two
trick amount required. The authority
pointed out that his books made q spe-
ciaI exception in this case, insisting on
the side quick trick with that combina-
ton.
HIs caller pleaded with him more than
an hour 70 change his attitude, but he
could not. Finally the Texan said, well,

Against no trump, the longest suit

have been bid by either side. With two
long suits, the stronger should be led.
With two of equal length and strength,

makes the spade suit the correct lead.
and the proper card is the fourth best,
since the suit contains no "honor COM
bination."
Against spade bid the proper lead is
the fourth best heart. With great length
in trumps, four or more, the best lead is
almost invariably the longest side suit to
force declarer to trump, eventually get
him out of trumpS while yours stin last,
then cash the remaining cards Of your
long side suit. g -'1s-
When diamonds are trumps the fourth
best spade is the lead. The singleton
club would be poor lead in this case.
Declarer, who has two-t0-one chance
to take any such trick because he has
two hands to do it with, would naturally
lead trumps Immediately to gobble up
those, otherwise available for rufus. In
that event you would probably be linn
tied to only one trick with the two
trumps, besides also probably helping
declarer establish his long side suit. BY
leading one of the other suits you re-
frain from giving declarer such an in
centive tn lead his trslrnn ace first and
so assure himself two immediate trump
leads. He Is now more likely to lead
trumps toward his hand from dummy
and may possibly try to fnesse twice. If
he does that you get two tricks with the
two trumpS.
When clubs are trumps the best lead
is the king Of diamonds from the king
queen, standard lead in all ordinary
situations, ranking in value Just below
the king lead from an ace-king.

II Lav a Week.

rs the penalty for a renounce the same
for the declarer as for the adversaries?
No. In one respect only is the procedure
the same: Having failed to follow suit,
any player except dummy may correct
his renounce at any time before he or
his partner has led or played to the fol-
lowing trick, and thus prevent any re-
woke penalty Beyond that the law treats
declarer and the adverSarieS differently.
The declarer may require an adversary,
Aa correcting his renounce, to play his
highest or lowest card of the suit led, or
q he prefers may instead treat the card
played in error as an exposed card, sub
tect to call by him whenever it may be
legally played, but declarer cannot exact
both of these penalties at the same
Time. When a declarer has renounced
either adversary may require him to play
his highest or lowest of the suit led if
the adversary on his left has played
After the renounce, but not If the latter
has not yet played. In the case of any
renounce which has been corrected any
player who played after the renounce
has the privilege Of withdrawing his
bard and. without penalty, substituting
another; if an opponent of the offender
has led to the next trick, he may change
that lead

player on the defensive side revokes, and
on later trick Of the same hand his
partner revokes? What If both partners

NE of the best ways to learn GER
tain things about the game is to
sneak off alone, get the cards,
~ deal them at random face up,
and then figure out what would be the
correct bidding and play clear on from
the dealers declaration to the final card.
Some of the topnotchers would love to
have a dollar for every hour they have
spent this way. One of them, who could
be named, enjoys this so much now,
after his arrival in the first flight, that he
has sat up all night with no companions
but his beloved cards. Small wonder
that such man is genius at the COM
petitive table!
Other things being anywhere near

his work or his play will win in the end.

PARKER IS PUSHED
.FORSANFORD'SPOST
Hoover Looks to South in
Considering Successor to
Late Justice.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Confronted with numerous recon-
mendations, President Hoover is ready
to give serious consideration to the Sc
lection of a successor to the late Jus
tice Edward T. Sanford Of the Supreme
Court.
A formidable drive became apparent
yesterday for John j. Parker of North
Carolina, Judge of the Federal Circuit
Court of Appeals for the Fourth Cir
cult. With increasing support for this
jurist, it was understood at the Capitol
the President was making some in
quiries about him.
However, receiving additional recon-
mendations as days 60 by, Mr. Hoover
has given no evidence of reaching a
conclusion. He is looking first to the
Southland; Mr.. Sanford was from Ten
neSSee.
Goff Endorses Parker.
Senators Golf, West Virginia, and
GoldSborough, Maryland, both Repub-
leans. indors Judge Parker to the
President yesterday. Representative
Pritchard, Republican, North Carolina,
did likewise, and members of the North
Carolina delegation have informed the
President of their support for Judge
Parker, although they have also pro-
posed Judge Stacy of the State Supreme
Court for the position.
Judge Parker is a Republican, as was
Justice Sanford. His being only "A
years old has been advanced by his
friends as an advantage
Other names were carried to the
White House also. Judge A. S. Van
Valkenburgh of the Federal Court of
Appeals for the eighth district was rec
commended by Senator Patterson, Re-
publican Missouri.
Henry w. Anderson of Richmond, a
member of the Hoover Law Enforcement
Commission, was proposed by Repre-
sertativeS Landlord, CARRIER and Shaf1er
of virginia. all Republicans. They said
they had acted without solicitation by
Anderson.
Knoxville Jurist Urged.
Judge xenophon Hicks of Knoxville,
Tenn, a member of the Federal Circuit
Court of Appeals for the sixth district,
was recommended by Representative
Taylor Republican, Tennessee.
There are many other prominent
names in the Presidents mind. Among
these are John w. Davis, Democratic
presidential nominee of 1924; Newton
b. Baker of Cleveland, Secretary OF
war in the Wilson administration;
Judge Curtis D. Wilbur of the Ninth
Circuit Court of Appeals and Secretary
of the Navy in the Coolidge admins
tration; Senators Borah Of Idaho,
George of Georgia, Walsh Of Montana
and Judge William S. Kenyon OF the
Eighth Circuit Court OF Appeals.
At the Capitol MIR. Hoover is expected
to reach an early decision. He has been
urged by some of his advisers to take
this course, since the work OF the Su-
preme Court will be facilitated by full
staff.
