You know, Paul." Dunn went on, these people are very light. lifted one of them the other day, and he seemed to have about as much weight as a rag doll"
 Isn't that because gravity Is not very strong on this planet?" asked Paul in reply. Aren't we very light, toO?" @ ,..
 Yes. we are light on this planet because of the low gravity. l lifted the professor the other day. and he seemed about as heavy as q 30-pound weight; but l also lifted our native guide, Weedee. and he seems to weigh only about 10 pounds"
 At this point Weedee came to the scene.
 How would you like to take a trip with me to Elkas Soron?" he inquired.
 What is Elkas soron?" asked Paul.
 Tt Is the greatest city on our planet. It is the home of many of our great scientists"
 "Ycs. l should like to go there very much" Paul decided. "I want to talk with an astronomer. If it's possible"
 "I think can arrange that" Weedee assured him. Now we can stroll to the place where the rest of those from the earth are waiting. and we shall fly from there to the great city"
 In a short space all were equip ped with wings, and were flying over hills and valleys. The first sight of Elkas Soron was mem- ory none of the visitors could ever forget. over an era of perhaps nine square miles was a mass Of tall buildings, with passageways leading from one to another. Peo- ple of the earth might have called the city "an artists dream"
 After visiting dozen parts Of the city, flying from one point to the next, the party reached a build ing containing many telescopes.
 Now Paul. we are in the head quarters of the astronomers" said Weedee. placing one of his hands on the boys shoulder. You will now learn some interesting facts about astronomy on this planet"

 In our previous articles we ex- plained that the oneover. one can be made with q four-card suit as long as we have one and one half 4uich tricks. An additional feature now recommended by the writer in his system of contract bidding, to those employing the one over one is as follows:
 Supposing partner opens with one heart and you hold six or seven spades and one and one half quick tricks. You can bid one spade, which Is thea one over one, with the assurance that partner will keep the bidding open, but when you hold six or more of a suit and one adn one-half quick tricks, we now recommend that you bid two spades instead of one, immediately in- forming partner thatsyou have a long suit. that you do not think the hand will play at no trump. and that you do not need normal trump D support. It Is a forcing bid in the same respect that one over one is in that it requires partner to keep the bidding open at least once but in neithe case is game prom ised.
 This information proves quite valuable in many hands especially where partner opened with q four card suit and holds q five-card suit which he was going to show on the suit under cover if he holds two or three of your trump and imme- diately jump into game. In this manner. you may get very ad- | vantageous lead.
 There are no great disadvantages | If a simple one over one bid is made and q jump bid made on the second round. This two bid to show q six or seven-card suit is just an additional tactic that can be used on certain hands to great advan- | tage.

Efforts are being made to introduce profit as an incentive
 to Soviet trusts and other economic
 units in line with Stalin's recent proposals.
 A decree has been issued by the Council of Labor and Defense which
 provides that economic OrganiZd-

 It Is hoped that individual fac tories, shops and subsidiary or ganiZations of all sorts will there by be forced to give closer atten- ton to the financial results of their work, namely by the reduction of the cost of production and the ac-
 emulation of profits.
 The Council of Labor and De- fense hns ordered all large trusts
 to distribute 90 per cent of hteir

 for It's rational use and profitable

 Better Work Bonuses. The decree Is only one of many
 recent measures which are calcu-
 lated to fix the responsibility for
 inefficiency and wastage and simu-
 ltaneously to offer Inducements for better work Hundreds of unpro- | fitabie manufacturing and distri- outing units are likely to be fore cd out of existence by this method. whereas the worthy ones will be strengthened and relieved from the | necessarily of supporting the weaker economic brethren.
