TYle Biddinr

| The auction and contract bidding
 would be the same. South would
 start with one spade, West would iovercall with two clubs. North would pass, East { would bid two
 hearts, South pass. West might De justified in bidding three clubs, but
 East would go to three hearts.
 The Play
 South has the opening lead. His spade suit is the strongest, and holding ace and King, the king is led to tell partner that you hold either the ace. or queen. Dummy would play small and North, the lpartner of the opening leader, now
 has an opportunity to talk. If he plays the 10 spot @hs will ask his partner to continue with spades, while if he plays his small one Ithe deuce-he will ask his partner for a shift. As he, wants the ace of hearts taken out before the spades are continued, North's proper play is the deuce of spades.
 Bridge is a partnership game
 and South should listen to what his partner has to say and should not continue with the spades. Ger Ftainly his partner does not want him to lead clubs and perhaps set that long suit for the declarer. He is probably trying to say, Take the trump ace out of the dummy, part ner." therefore South leads the three of hearts awhich dummy Is forced to win with the ace.
 The declarer must endeavor to get into his own hand in order to lead trump. He therefore leads; the eight of diamonds from dummy. While 1t Is customary for second hand to play. low. North can eaAily count his partner for the ace of |quires two and one-half tricks, South has only shown up with the lace and king of spades. He does mot hold the ace or king of clubs, North himself holds the king of dia- |monds. and West has bid hearts. therefore the only possible side trick South could have is the ace of dia- |rhonds. \ ixt North should jump right in with the king of diamonds in order to lead spades through the declarer.
 He returns the 10 of spades. de- |clarer plays small, and South wins with the jack and returns the ace |of spades. North discarding the |dence of diamonds. South con |tinues with the seven of spades which North trumps with the four |of hearts.

buttons that 'plowed' them back into
these communities" says the commit
. tee. "It was many years before our
people ventured into distant investment
fields, but once this practice started 1t
grew rapidly, and for the past Is or 20
years the average man with the most
modest savings has sent them of for
investment In cities hundreds of miles
away, and even to foreign shores.
"But as recently as the past year
this tendency has changed. It has been
due in all probability to the wrenches
occasioned by the collapse on a market
thousands of miles away from many of
the losing investors. The promise of
more income on their investments In
the distant fields which looked so green
had its final fulhllment in q partial
loss of the investment itself in too many
cases. 1t is not strange that the wise
heads among these investors are turn
ing again to home community invest
ments.
This may be a new caution, econo-
mists may call 1t by many names, but
the fact Grams that thousands of peo-
pie who haNa never before invested in
projects in their own communities are
now doing 30.
This tendency should be foStered by
building and loan associations through
out the country. Our members should
point out the advantage Of making in
vestments where they can be watched"

WINTER BUILDING SEEN
AS TRADE REVIVAL AID
Executive Holds Huge Volume of
Construction in Recent Years
Proves Practicability.

Winter building win help trade re-
ytval; 1T helps to stabilize employ
ment," says A. E. Dickinson.
In 1922 New York City showed a
variation of IS per cent between Winter
and Summer work. This variation was
reduced to 20 per cent six years later
A further reduction has taken place
since that period.
This Winter many owners and con-
tractors are taking advantage Of the
lower buying markets. Material prices
are lower than they have been for
years. Money is cheap. Other adj
vantages are better workmanship now
than in peak times and q wider range
Of rental period dates
"Practicability Of Wintertime con-
struction has been proved by the huge
volume Of building conducted in recent
years. Inventions and new methods Of
construction tend to decrease the build
er's difficulties even in the coolest
weather"

STORE TAX PUzzLING
Vending Machine Operators
to Get Explanation.

Vending machines are causing no
end of trouble to the chain store
tax collectors, it was reported today
by L. o. Johnson, chief store tax
collector in the offices Of the state
tax board.
johnson busted himself today
drafting an explanation for use of
field men regarding the vending
machine levy.
If such machine is owned and
operated in a duly licensed store, it
is covered by the tax for that store,
Johnson explained. But if it merely
is placed on lease and owned and
operated by an outside agency, the
owner must pay the tax.
Vending machines in a group at
a single location will pay but a one
store tax, but owners of strings scat
tered throughout the city must pay
on the chain basis.
Many machines operate where
nothing else is sold, and some one
has to pay the license for them,
Johnson pointed out.
