(Sccretary American Bridge League)

In contract bridge, to arrive at the
best declaration for the combined Is
cards, 1t is necessary for partners to
exchange as much intelligent infor-
nation as possible by sound bids-so
as not to take a chance on losing
game or Overlooking the hano.
When the original bidders hand
contains two and one-half high card
tricks or better and a distribution as
surfing him that his hand will also
take at least four or five tricks If
played at the suit mentioned, he has
three choices of bids:
HE may make q minimum bid Of
one. While he may be taking q
chance that his partner Will pass
short of game, partner should not
pass when holding at least one and
one half tricks.
2-He may bid for game at once,
but the risk here Is very great as
there may be two or three different
declarations In the hand and the best
declaration may not be the one he
calls.
She may make a forcing bid
which not only gives valuable infor-
nation to partner but requires
partner to keep the bidding open,
thereby guaranteeing him another
opportunity to bid.
4 i i
The ordinary way to make q forcing
bid is to bid one more Of q suit than
is necessary to hold the contract. The
various types Of forcing bids are as
follows:
Amy original bid OF two In a
suit requiIes that the bidding oe kept
open by partner until a game-going
declaration is arrived at, therefore 1t
should not be made II you are not
willing to play the hand at game even
though partners hand may be trick
less.

MONEY GETS WAGE CUT, TOO

This Is money. No one has taken a more severe cut in wages Of is more an
xouNy seeking work, than money.
This is reflected in the sharp drop in interest rates to the lowest levels
in many years. Money loaned on call at the New York Stock Exchange is
now nearly a low as l per cent, a sharp contrast with rates IS high as 20
per cent In the wildly speculative times of two years ago.
Money for hire Is spoken Of as a drug on Wall Street. The government
finds it can borrow for less than 2 per cent. Good commercial paper is dis
counted at 3 or 4 per cent, instead of the formerly prevailing price of s per
cent.
Gold in America has accumulated until half the worlds monetary supply
is here. The situation directly reflects the world wide stagnaton of trade
With the curtalment Of commercial and financial activities, the demand for
credit Is less.
But the situation has sin it much that is hopeful Money is the life blood
of trade. AS recovery becomes more perceptible. the great force of credit
will be present superabundantly, and a long period of prosperity should be
assured. Capital abhores idleness. Eventually. a confidence returns 1t
will find outlets for it's restless desire for a job, and this will help to give
impetus to the wheels Of industry, and fill up the pay envelopes of labor.

While he was yet q schoolboy the chance
reading of an article in an agricultural paper
attracted young Munroes attention to chemis-

explore the subject on his own. He selected
an attic room as laboratory and applied to the
local pharmacy for 10 cents worth of prussic

There were no pharmacy laws, but the con-
scientious druggist had scruples against sup
plying the boy with the acid. Instead, he Of
fered him an after-school job and allowed the
use of a back room stocked with chemicals.
After that Munroe never had any doubt Is to

vention, Of discovery. And he has been part
of much that he has seen.
Not long ago the president of a university
approached DR.. Munroe with a QUESTIONABLE.
He said he was asking 1000 eminent Americans
to outline briefly the secret of their success

students

roe, "the formula is very simple and perhaps
too easy All that did was to let life unfold"
The unfolding began in Cambridge Mass,
where Munroe was born, in 1849, the son of a
master wheelwright. The first Munroe settled
there in 1857, when the village was called New
