At auction. South would bid one spade. He might even be justified in
 ore-empting with three spades, but with this great array of high card tricks he should not fear double at three or four spades, so it is best to start with one. West might overcall with two diamonds, but 1t is a rather weak bid. North would show his club suit by bidding two. This would satisfy East and he would pass. South owuld then bid two spades and if North went to three clubs, South would go to three spades.
 At contract, South is not close to a forcing two bid and should open with one spade. West might put in q diamond bid hoping to stop North and South from getting into no trump, but 1t is better pass. North should show two clubs, South would be justified in bidding three spades. North should pass, although with his two aces and queen, he could not be blamed if he went to four spades.
 The Play
 West opens with the king of dia- monds; which the declarer wins with the ace. South, the declarer. should not try the spade finesse as he has seven trumps with three leads. It Is better to try for trump break. De- clarer leads the ace and then the king of trump and on the second spade West shows out discarding the deuce of diamonds. The declarer now tries for heart break. He leads F a small heart, wins in the dummy with the ace, immediately leads the ace of clubs, discarding a small dia- mond. The heart is then returned from dummy, declarer winning with the king.
 Still hoping to find the hearts split, declarer leads the five spot, but West wins with the ten, East discard ing a club. West plays his queen of hearts. East discarding the ten ot diamonds. The queen of diamonds is then led by West, East discarding the jack of clubs, declarer follow ] ing with the seven of diamonds i West follows right along with the Jack of diamonds and East discard ing the king of clubs, declarer Is Eforced to trump with the five of spades.
 If the declarer were to become careless now and lead the queen of spades, East would win the last two spade tricks. The proper play Is the eight of spades which East is forced l to win with the nine spot and then must lead to the declarer's queen-ten of trumpfl In this manner the de- clarer wins the last two tricks and makes three odd.
 At auction he would score so for honors, while at contract the four honors in one hand would count him 100. Copyright, 1881. NEA Service Incl

In this CITY our Community Chest did well in its subscriptions
for Washington for calendar year and whether it
will stage its own drive simultaneously with the others through
out the country will be determined later.
Private phanthrophy exceedingly generous here
and will continue to be- but welfare chiefs and workers feel
strongly that cities and counties should aid more in meeting
relief burdens than in the past. . ,

Mr.. Morgan could see HMM
Washington. The next morning
on his return to Washington he
found Morgan waiting in the
Blue Room Of the White House.
He had reached the Capital at
z a. M, and had gone directly
to the White House. Even the
press did not know of that visit.
Later, when Taft was at Bev-
erly for the summer, Morgan
appeared mysteriously in his
yacht, and slipped up to the
Presidents house without being
seen by correspondents. Major
Butt, the Presidents faithful
aid, was jubilant because the
press did not get that news.
Times have changed. The
statement of Mr.. Castle would
have been considered a serious
blunder even as late as the Taft
administration: but these are
days when bankers are neces-
sary in meeting the crisis of
the hour.
The Railroads Request
For Increased Rates
The public should be inter
ested in the hearings before the
Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion on the application of the
railroads for an increase in
freight rates. It has developed
that one Of the commissioners,
Mr.. Eastman, is not so sure Of
the economic wisdom Of in
creasing rates when commodity
prices are tumbling; not so
sure that the roads would re-
alize the great increase in rev.
enue on which they count.
He wondered if the "propo-
ganda" for the increase would
not affect investments adverse
ly; and was told. quite frankly,
that it would, unless the in
crease were granted. That came
dangerously near being intimi-
dation. And the commissioner
quoted some figures to show
that the roads were still able to
pay good dividends, and won
dered If they were not better
off in that regard than many
industries.
He said that the dividend
rates paid by railroads on all
stock in 1880 was the highest in
history. And when he asked the
witness, speaking for the in
crease. what the roads would do
should the increase be granted
without the expected result, he
was told the Government
could find some way to aid
the railroads"
Aren't you putting the case
squarely up to the Govern
ment," asked the Commissioner.
&4&
That certainly is not, accord
ing to the President, the
American way" The American
way would be to tell the rail-
roads that the roads must work
out their own salvation" like
the farmers are told and the Un-
employed.
