tain number of high cards or quick
tricks.
The most important of the two re-
quirements for original suit bids are
the quick tricks. This information is
absolutely necessary to your partner
In case he wishes to bid another suit
and can therefore count on these
high cards to assist his hand, or In
case partner wishes to make q bust
ness double. He will then know that
your hand can be counted on to- take
a certain number Of tricks against the
opponents.
Another important reason is that
supposing the opponents play the
hand ut no trump, he can feel rea-
sonably sure that there Is q possibility
Of quickly establishing the suit that
you originally bid, or he can make m
advantageous lead against q suit dec
laration.
Card valuation is always ! matter
Of common sense and naturally the
value of your hand will increase OF
decrease depending upon the bids. Of
your opponents.
When you open with q suit declara.
ton Of one, you contract to take
seven tricks, but it is not expected
that you take all of these tricks your
self. Your hand Is supposed to fur
nish only four or five Of the tricks
contracted for. Surprising that your
hand Is likely to take four tricks. Thu
will give you four probable tricks
There are nine tricks left to be dis
tributed in the other three hands
With a normal distribution, your
partner will hold three Of these and II
! he holds three tricks and normal sup
| port in your trump, he is entitled to
| give you one raise as there is one
trick allowed for the play Of the hand
Quick tricks are high cards that
can be depended upon to take a trick
the first or second round. Probable
tricks are long cards that can b<
counted on to take tricks.

Of this. Added to this, what Russia
could spare for sale would make a to-
tai Of as per cent of the needs, there
remaining IS per cent to be divided
between the United States. Canada
and Australia. The obvious idea Of
presenting these figures was that the
great wheat producing countries
should reduce their acreage and pro-
duction accordingly. Russia, Argen-
tine, Canada and Australia through
their delegates said this would be i'm
possible.
But one big thing did come out Of
the conference. sponsored by Toward
Ferguson, head OF the Canadian dele
CATION. It was agreed that a confer
ence of the wheat-exporting countries
should be held in London on May Is
to try to reach an agreement for the
regulation of the wheat market and
| wheat exports. The conference will
be held under the Craftsmanship of
Ferguson, who is the Canadian High
Commissioner to Great Britain. The
goal aimed at will be some sort of
world wheat pool, participated in by
the United States. Canada, Australia,
Argentine and Russia. The main
points Of the agenda will be based
upon five proposals by the Hungarian
| delegation to the Rome meeting:
THAT each exporting country
create a body of experts to control
taL-wheat exports.
2-That annual estimates OF re-
quirements be reported to EXPORT
ing countries.
3-That there shall be an inter-
national commission to appertion
quotas for each exporting .cun-
try.
4-Exporting countries to agree
to prevent any increase in wheat
acreage.
5-Superfluous grain shall be
used as fodder.
May Confer in Canada
The London conference will carry
its observation-disclosures they may be-
to the next world wheat congress to
be held in 1882 and in all probability
in Canada.
The wheat question, among other
agricultural problems, will also be
tackled in still another conference to
begin June S at Prague in Czecnoslo-

OF these many we're spies, for q
cafe waiter can hear more gossip
than any other kind Of employe.
Hotel porters and room stewards
have constant access TO waste

But Germany never depended
entirely upon Germans to do her
work.
Mata Hart was a German SPY,
and she was the former wife of a
Dutch army offlcer without q drop
of German blood in her veins.
Hundreds of deSerters from allied
armies turned spies for Germany.
1t often was easy during the war
TO obtain traitor spies, for a de-
serter did not dare TO return to
his regiment, or to his home, for
fear of being shot.
Germany then offered him a
salary and an easy task and used
him until he was caught.
During the summer vacations in
peace time, Germany always sent a
band Of young SPIES over Europe,
school boys and girls apparently
on a holiday and carrying cameras.
When the war broke out, Ger
many had all the photographs the
staff colleges need for instruction
purposes.
Since the war all frontiers have
been guarded and with rising costs,
such activities by all governments
have been curtailed.
But the spies flourish and courts
have had many cases OF nationals
becoming "traitor-spies' in the pay
Of foreign governments.
