again raise. North. however, does have bare additional trick and in the event South had had strength enough to have assisted to three spades, he could then have advanced the contract to four.
 The principle which this hand H. lustrates is not whether South should raise his partners one spade to two. or from one to three; on the con- trary it is aimed to impress upon the student the inference which North gets from his partners assist. In other word, under the forcing sys- tenn, the responding hand is expect ed. if raising his partners suit, to cal- cunlate the value of his hand at that declaration, and immediately give as many raises as there are in his hand.
 The opening bidder is therefore enabled to very closely estimate the combined trick taking power of the two hands at that declaration. The meaning of this bid is nothing more than common sense bidding and players should understand what is meant by raises in order to play in- telligent contract.
 The reason South is justified in raising his partners one spade bid to two on so weak a supporting hand is because there has been no interven- ing declaration, and in that event one's raises should be materially shaded.

NOVEL SEASONING
 GIVES LAMB CHOPS
 sAv0RY FLAVOR
Blend of Sugar, Salt, Vinegar and Oil Is the
 Secret

This seasoning may be used for roast shoulder or leg of lamb as well as the chops.
 First make a mixture of A tea spoonful salt, level teaspoonful sugar, 2 teaspoonfuls lemon juice or vinegar and 5 tablespoonfuls of salad oil. Pour this well-shaken mixture over the chops, shoulder or leg of lamb few minutes before cooking. If you wish you can use the mixture for basting the meat as it cooks. You will be delighted with the way this seasoning heightens the flavor of the lamb.
 The sugar is an important ingre- dient in this mixture just described because it blends the salt, lemon juice and oil into a smooth, zestful goodness.
 A combination of sugar and salt is . good seasoning to use in vege- tables as well as meat cookery. Some cooks use equal parts others increase salt or sugar content to taste. Most foods are more delicious with sugar. The Sugar Institute.

Man or donkey DeSlue sianC mar- ble mandarin"
 Writing is included among the Six Great Arts of China. The Chinese say that painters and sculptors follow
 branches of the writing art. In the province of Shantung are interesting carvings on tombs. The
 carvings include images of Lao-Tze and Confucious, two noted religious leaders who lived in China 2,500 years ago. Another figure is the "god of thunder" who is beating drums while he makes his heavenly music. Here and there in China Is a large statue of a mandarin, cut from stone. 'The word mandarin
 means public officer" and was
 given to any man who held an office
 high enough to permit him to wear
 a button in his cap.
 When I was freshman in col lege, had to wear little green cap with a tiny red button in the
 center. I was glad to be able to throw the cap in bonfire toward
 the end of the college year; but have never heard of mandarin who
 wanted to throw away cap with a button.
 Mandarins and other rich men in China used to follow strange cus- toms. One custom was to let the
 finger nails grow along. Sometimes
 the nails grew to length or a foot or more. The owner of the
 nails could thus prove that he did
 not need to work with his hands. Three centuries ago, Manchu sol
 diers conquered China; and Chinese men were ordered to wear "pigtails.''
 At first they did not like the idea;
 but in time they became used to 1t. During the present century a
 movement sprang up in favor of hav- | ing men remove their pigtails. A law was passed by the National as- sembly ordering the end of that kind of hairdress.

The Bidding

First round-North one spade, East pass. South two spades, West pass.
 Second round-North pass, East pass. .
 The whole principle of this hand is the meaning which North gathers from South's assist. South, if not vul- nerable and in an over-optimistic spirit, might raise his partners one spade bid to two (the absolut. limit) and North, regardless of the fact that he has barely one trick more than he advertised or guaranteed by his original bid, is not justified in volun- tarily raising the bid to three spades, as South has already given him the full value of his assist.
 Therefore. North is to consider South's raise as substantially the full value of his hand, and would real ize the foolishness of going three spades over his partners two when it Is most unlikely that South will

Raises in your partners suit are of two kinds, minimum raises and jump raises. The responding hand must not fail to give the full value of his raises at once. Otherwise a negative inference will be drawn that his is minimum raise. Even double raise denies Q triuple raise.
