is the proper bid: e. &. you hold three
small trump and doubleton in an
other suit. Although you have no
high cards in any of the other suits,
undoubtedly partner will be able to
ruff the third card in the suit in
which you hold doubleton and
thereby gain an entry to your hand.
This is sufficient to raise partner to
four Even in some cases, when hold
of partners trump, the bid Of four
can be made.
Original Bids
of Three No Trump
It Is very seldom that you will hold
a hand where your correct opening
bid will be three no trump. An orig
inal three no trump bid shows a hand
with all four suits doubly stopped and
no good biddable four-card suit.
Generally speaking, hand this
powerful can be opened with an
original forcing suit bid of two.
1t is far better to start with the
forcing two-suit bid. You are as
sured of getting to at least game
going declaration, and with a little
help from partner, you will be able to
arrive at a slam declaration, while
with an original three no trump bid.
partner is very apt to pass. even
though his hand contains one or one
and one-half quick tricks.
Remember that high original bids
prevent partner from giving you In
telligent information. Start the bids
low whenever possible unless you
have one of the above described
hands, or a pre-emptive type hand
which will be explained in our follow
ing article.

PARAMOUNT THEATRE

That Richard Barthelmess has
made much of the greatest role OF
his career was evidenced at the Para
mount theatre when the First
National production THE Finger
Points opened its local engage
ment. He plays the part OF Big
Town reporter who In order to get
money to spend on the sob sister"
he loves, covers crime in exchange
for bribes he extorts from gangdom.
Barthlemess portrays with rare url-
derstanding the changing character
of the young man who comes from
the South with high ideals as to the
duty of the press to the public, and
gradually falls under the power Of
greed which finally brings its retribu-
tion-with the added tragedy that
the public never finds out that he Is
not the honorable man he pretends
to be.
Fay Wray as the sob sister" Of the
newspaper who loves the unfortun-
ate youth and keeps his secret to the
last, gives a performance OF rare
beauty.

ABOUT PROCLAMATIONS
Bismarck. N. D..
June 3, 1881,

EQltOr, tribune:
I see by the paper that the governor
Of North Dakota has issued a procla-
nation naming June 1920 as Dairy
Week and asking the people of our
state to observe 1t by consuming more
dairy supplies. With butter at 20
cents q pound and everything else in
proportion along this line, the poor
dairy farmer sure needs somebody's
support. but with dairy prices even as
low as they are, how are people with
out jobs or money going to help the
dairymen's cause. You explain 1t If
you can. We give up.
After we are through observing
dairy week we are expecting the gov
ernor to issue a proclamation for
poultry week.
The little red hen, by working 100
per cent for IA days, can earn almost
a dime for her farmer friend. Talk
about wealth" and "proclamations," !"
they surely seem to go hand In hand.
If it will do the state any coed let's
have proclamation every month.

Planes to Boost Speed

Dallas, Tex, June 5.-Cruislng
along smoothly at l8O miles an hour,
and sometimes speeding up to 235
miles an hour, the worlds fastest
passenger air service is
operating on the twin lines OF the
Bowen system, between Houston and
Oklahoma City, and San Antonio and
Tulsa.
Previous to this new speed rate,
two lines held the record of $50 miles
an hour FOR fastest passenger service.
In addition to the Bowen line, there
was the Braniff line. which operates
between Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Kan
sas City md Chicago. This line is
operated by the Braniff brothers, T..
E. Braniff. president, and Paul r.
Braniff. secretary treasurer.
The Branlffs had long planned to
raise even this high speed. but the
Bowen system has beaten them to it.
The jump IN speed, from 80 to IS
miles an hour faster. is due to the
foresight Of Temple Bowen.
A pioneer in the field OF trans
portation in Texas. Bowen started
cut with q moderate hauling business
and jumped into aviation after he had
established one of the largest bus
systems in ti.e world.
Indy Gave Bowen Idea
Bowen read of Colonel Lindbergh's
experiments with the retractable
landing gear in the Lockheed air.

of undercarriage the speed Of an air.
plane could be increased as much as
40 miles an hour
In a consultation with the Lock-
heed officials, Bowen asked them to
build a plane with retractable land
passengers beside the pilot. Engineers
at first thought it couldn't be done,
but after experimenting they con-
structed The fleet cabin ships which
now speed over the systems routes.
1t is possible. by using the Bowen
and Braniff lires in conjunction, to

The tremendous speed of the new

er the ship dipped over the state CAPT.

Curtailment in the number of

more satisfactory class of cases
being reported, and has not cut
down the number of arrests, in

in charge of liquor prosecutions
at Police Court.
Mr.. Hart said today that while
few informers are still being
used, the majority of cases
brought into his office now is
the result of buys" made by

Under stimulus of a rate war
which plunged tariffs down to 20
cents and threatens to cut them

The Pro-Tex-U Company which

Riders Increase
Harry Davis, manager of the
Diamond Cab Company, said that
there had been a material in
crease in the number of riders
under their new rate, and pre-
dicted that there would be a
further increase when the public
realizes that with five in a cab
individuals can ride for as little
as four cents, about half of the
street car rate. = >

pany limited at the rate reduction
to is cents for the "city proper

Officials of both companies de-
clared it is difficult, if lot i'm

present rate. Cabs must be kept
busy at all times if they are to
pay.
Independents Join
Independent cab owners, operat-

The Public Utilities Commis-
sion today received notification

District Sets Mark
For Falling Off
In Divorces

Divorces in the District of Co.
lumbia were revealed to have
fallen off 1871 per cent in 1880,
by statistics just compiled by
the Census Bureau. This is a
record for the entire country.
A decrease of 8.5 per cent in
marriages and of 40 per cent
in divorces during 1880 is shown
throughout the United States.
Marriages in 1880 totaled 1928
180, as compared with 1,232,559
in 1929. In 1890, divorces num-
bered 191,630, as against 201,-
468 in 1929.
The business depression is
blamed by experts for the slump
in both the marriage and di-
vorce markets.
