Washington s only Ocean Liner

Although the model Is worth from $500 TO
$500, she h not for sale under any circum-
stance MIR. Swanteson expended approximately
$40 for the raw materials and supplementals
used IN her construction He built the model
a hobby and he intends to keep her for sim
Aar reasons IT devoted plenty Of time to
planning and building the model and now
intend to get some fun out Of navigating the
steamer" Is the way In which Mr. Swanteson
describes It.
The practical. although diminutive rudder
which this builder has provided for steering
the steamship, can be adjusted 30 that she will
pursue o circular instead Of o straightaway
course. Perhaps you have seen the owners OF
speedboat models hitch their crafts by means of
stout lines to permanent mooring about which
the power boats subsequently can circle. That
is the way in which these tiny power boats race
against each other and the flight Of time.
One of the models is tethered by 5o-foot
line for example. The official timer clicks his
stopwatch when the line becomes taut and the
boat begins her round robin" cruise. Knowing
the diameter Of the circular course, the number
Of laps travelled and the total elapsed time, it
is simple matter to compute the distance
covered in a given period and the velocity of
the craft in miles per hour. The process Is
repeated with each power boat entered in such
competition. The model which makes the low
est time record is eventually crowned the
victor.
Mr.. Swanteson can test the speed and mileage
Of his steamship model in somewhat similar
manner with the exception that he does not
have to halter" his boat. He can adjust the
rudder 20 that the ship will travel a circular
course of known diameter. This circle may
be large or small, according to the dimensions

of the occurrence by remarking, "It isn't every
chap who can tell about having his boat run

II Cheaters "Psychic. "

An utterly unfair psychic" was made re-
Gently by a smart player whose partner had
passed. After the intervening opponents one
heart he deliberately called one diamond-an
insufficient bid. This barred the partner from
further bidding and compelled him to make his
own call SUFFICIENT. He did it with two spades.
One opponent doubled him, and he shifted TO
three diamonds, which the other opponent
doubled whereupon he seemed to make o
desperation bid for four clubs. This, too, was
doubled, and he was defeated one lowiy trick.
but chortled with glee over keeping the foe
from a sure game. He intended all along TO
wind ND IN clubs, but first took the cowardly
precaution Of silencing his partner by dishon-
estly violating q law so that misleading his
partner could do no harm.
From the viewpoint Of Sporstmanship wheth-
er psychic" bids Of one kind or another are
ethical depends largely on whether the bidder
is taking an honest risk Of loss commensurate
with the possible gain.

Il Deep Inference.

Our old friend, the perfect hand bcooed
ND again the other day in LArchmont, N. Y
at the home Of Mrs. Daniel OConnell. Mrs.
Henry S. Mattern, with - diamonds, opened
bidding With ak ,tiamonds-why not seven,
deponent sayeth not. Her partner, MRS. Ed
ward Doherty, bid seven clubs with full suit
of them. after which the original bidder went
seven diamonds.
They report that the rare hands caused
much excitement Still more excitement could
have been caused by their opponents If the
latter had realized that they had laydown
grand slam at either hearts or spades ana
failed to bid them.

NORTH

What does the lead Of q deuce show a@manst
a no trump contract, no suits having been bid,
when dummy holds the king, jack, ten and
eight, fourth hand the ace queen and nine?
Since all of the high cards from the ace
card suit contains no card higher than the
seven. It is almost certain that he could
not have another four-card suit that weak.
Since he would lead from the stronger four
carder If he had it, the chances are over
wheln1ingly that the suit led is his only four
carder. If that Is true, his other suits are
all of three cards each. Hence, by seeing how
many cards Of each suit are in own hand and
dummy, and counting partner to have three,
it Is possible to reckon declarer's exact num-
Der Of cards in each suit.

If using the new intermediate two bid which
shows not quite enough strength to guarantee
game but promises a rebid if partner has
enough strength to do anything but pass, North
will open with two diamonds. South knowing
more than minimum response to two hearts.
West here will insert three clubs, North will bid
four hearts and after Easts pass, South should
bid five clubs conventionally to indicate slam
likelihood and lack of club losers. If North
now should merely shift to five hearts South
would call six, but North is strong enough to
say SIX which South then can lift to seven.
Players without an intermediate two bid win
open with one diamond, South making fore
ing takeout Of two hearts. West now will bid
his three clubs, North three hearts, South four
clubs, North five hearts and South seven hearts.
If West leads the ace of clubs nothing Is
necessary but the diamond hnesse to produce
13 tricks. If West leads anything else, the
contract can still be made by squeeze play.
