BRIDGE TALKS
BIZ MRS. JOHN MUNcE. Jr.

In the hands today there are bound
to be differences of opinion as to the
bidding, but you should remember that
many bids as well as plays are optional
in bridge and the bidder or player is
the one to decide which is the best BID
or play to be made, at the same time
playing a partnership game. ana by
the bids and plays try to mirror your
hand to YOUR partner. Never misinform
your partner by bid or play and you
viii always be in demand as q part
ner for good bridge players. The hands
for today are as follows:
South, the dealer, holds:
spades-1O, Q, 8, q.
HeartS-A, X, Q, 10.
Diamonds-K, 5.
West, or second hand, holds:
spades-J' T. p,
Dlamonds..s,, s, :.
Clubs, Z,
North, or third hand, holds:
Spades-None.
bbsissm Diamonds. E. 7, !, 4.
clubs-s, 6, ., 2.
East or fourth hand, holds:
spades-A, K, @, 2, 8, 5.
Diamonds~A, @, J, 10.
oiubs~A, q, 10.
Looking at these hands, you see what
is called q freak distribution OF cards,
and whenever you happen to hold sucn
q hand as East holds you should always
realize that some one else at the table
must have freak hand also.
These hands were played at auction
so we will take up first the auction bid
ding. South bids one heart on the
four-card suit headed by the A, K and
! O. which Is a perfectly legitimate pld
West, of course, can do nothing but

FOOLISH DISPUTES

often seek my shack to show me I'm

RULE UPSET

The District Of Columbia Court
Of Appeals has upset a practice
Of more than 20 years standing
in the Civil Service Commission
in its Interpretation of the term
bona fide" as applied to resi-.
dence Of applicants for civil
service examinations. The court
upheld the action of Justice Stat.
ford, in District Supreme Court,
in issuing mandamuS against
the commission to compel it to
allow the son of a resident of
Ohio living in the District to
take the civil service examina-
ton from that State.
The situation arose in the case
of Nathaniel Ward. son of VIII.
liam S. Ward, prominent attorney
in the Department Of Justice.
Young Ward applied for permis-
sion to take the examination as
a resident Of the State of Ohio.
but the commission held that the
father had been domiciled in the
District for several years and the
son could not claim Ohio as his
residence If his domicile was with
his father.
Attorney Marcus Borchardt ap-
peared as counsel for young Ward
and pointed out the Ohio statute
which permits a resident of Ohio
to live elsewhere and Still retain
his citizenship and voting privi.

The higher court today held
that the sons physical absence
from Ohio during the year pre-
ceding the examination did not
affect his right to enter the ex.
animation as a bona fide resi-.
dent of the State Of Ohio, al.
though his physical residence
might have been elsewhere.
