The Good Taste girls wer" 90 ing to a picnic. Nancy had invited them but since some of the glrlS lived far out 1t was necessary Tor most of them to go on the stree car or the bus.
 Frances was dressing for the af- fair. Her chum, who was not in viled, had suggested that France wear her white duck trousers. But Frances demurred.

secretary American Bridge League

Secretary American Bridge League An original bid of two no trump as advocated by the writer in his system of contract bidding, indi- cates a strong hand with all four suits stopped.
 While original bids of one no trump generally deny the holding of a biddable four-card suit. origi- nal two no trump bids do not deny even a strong four-card minor suit. They show hands containing from three and one half to four and one half uuick tricks and a favorable no trump distribution and they re- auire partner to go 10 three no trump with as little as king Tn one suit and a queen in another suit: Q. E. you hold the following hand
 Spades~--A J.
 Hearts--K ] 10.
 Djamonds-A K 10 10.
 Clubs-Q J &.
 While you have a strong four card diamond suit, you also nay" A beautiful no trump distriDu'ioh and it looks more like ninc-trick hand for no trump than ID or 11-trick hand if played al sui'' therefore you are justified Tn open ing this type of hand with two no trump, as you want to play 'ne hand at no trump and 1t wouln pc a disadvantage to disclose io your opponents where your strehH'h Hos. If partner holds the ace or king of clubs and the queen oi hearts or the queen of spades, w',h
 tl..,f in take the contract to three no trump.
 DENYING ORIGINAL
 TWO NO TRUMP BIDS
 When partner opens with an original two no trump bid and your hand contains strong five-card major or minor suit and an unia- yorabIe distribution for no trump. YOU should show your suit. If 1t Is minor suit, partner will un- doubtedly go back to three no trump, while if 1t is major, he may have support for 1t and will take you to four odd in your suit. If that happens to be his weak suit, he should go to three no trump.
 At no time should two no trump bids be taken out with weakness. If you are not prepared to pihy game going declaration in either no trump or your suit. you should pass.
 ORIGINAL BIDS
 OF THREE NO TRUMP
 It might truthfully be said that original bids of three no trump are as rare as hens teeth. They re- auire every suit doubly stopped and enough probable tricks to produce game at no trump even though partners hand is trickless. When ever you hold a hand as strong as this, you will almost invariably find that you have a legitimate original two-of-a-suit forcing bid. By starting with an original two forcing bid. you arc more sure to arrive at the correct declaration for the combined two hands, while with an original three no trump bid, partner will probably pass even with hand that could pro- duce A slam if played at a suit.

NEW YORK. - Unemployed, and
with his wife and two small children
facing starvation, and himself facing
the wrath of the bosses courts for
having violated the sacred rights"
of property in his effort to save his
family from starvation, Joseph N.
Brownstein, 35, laborer of rs Hop
kins ST., Brooklyn, yesterday slashed
his left wrist in the Federal Build
ing in an attempt to commit suicide.
Assistant United States Attorney
Peter Speneli, one of the watch dogs
for the bosses, noticed the blood
streaming from Brownsteins wrist
and summoned an ambulance in his
anxiety to see that Brownstein did
not escape capitalist Justice" After
his wrist was bound with a tourniquet
and his wound closed, Brownstein
was taken before United States Com
missioner Fay, who held him in 5000
for the federal grand jury. His Of
Tense was stealing 81 from the

Starvation Stalks Through
Coal Fields OF Pennsylvania

$4,000 of the $4,000 miners totally unemployed and
the rest work only ga days per month. Over so per
cent Of the mines in the South completely shut
down. In the anthracite districts $4,000 entirely
unemployed and the balance work half time. Through
out the middle bituminous districts or 3 days
month is the rule for the miners.
To make matters worse huge wage cuts have been
enforced everywhere ranging from Is per cent to rs
per cent In West Virginia the miners receive 81 cents
per ton instead of the former rate of Ct cents In
Kentucky similar rates prevail In Ohio the total
wages of the miners dropped from 100000 in 1929
to $29 100000 in $780, Wages in western Pennsylvania
may be judged by the pay envelope of Westmoreand
miner who reported to the Board of Miners Union that
he recently got $1116 tor 10 days work Besides the
miners mercilessy robbed their weights. In
many places mine which formerly held 21a tons
have been enlarged to tons, but still counted
at the old weight. Dead work, for which miners
often paid SIS more each two weeks is now done

The long continued unemployment the crisis in the

a definite reason behind the

Though there is a constant move
