 Bid of One
 10 appraise the hand for an as- sirx of an opening no-trump bid of one Is essentially simple, because a raise is determined by a definite and fixed total count in the com bined partnership hands.
 It is an established fact: (A) A total count of 22 (using the 4-3-2-1 count) in the two hands usually will prO- duce eight (S) tricks at mo- trump.
 (B) and . total count of 24, in the two hands, in almost every case will produce nine

 IMPORTANT! In counting his hand for an assist, the player should value a five-card suit, head ed by an Ace, King, or Queen, as follows:
 A fve-card suit headed by 8 top A hve-card suit headed by 2 top
 s A fivc-card suit headed by top This count is in addition to the value of the Ace, (4, King, (3), and Queen CD.
 The accuracy and dependability of this count is astonishing. It is one of the few theories that has never been subject to question, ex- cept by those who have never used 1t.
 ASSISTING DEFENSIVE AND
 ATTACKING OVERCALLS.
 When a player has made de- fensive overcall in a suit and his partner contemplates assisting such a bid, he may do so with one-half (M) probable trick in excess of the requirements for assisting an original suit bid.
 A player in assisting an attack ing overcall when made to the left of the original bidder. can esti- mate that his partner will be able to win a minimum of six (6) prob able tricks. He, therefore, bids accordingly.
 W Hclis utter dH OlIBlndl Ol one, followed by two passes, fourth hand makes an attacking overcall, his partner, in assisting, may as- sume that the fourth-hand, player will be able to win six (6) prob able tricks.
 When an attacking overcall of suit bid Is made by bidding one no-trump, partner of the no-trump bidder may assist such a bid just as though an original no trump bid had been made.

All this consideration OF technical

the man whose biggest investment of

Even In this time Of depression there
are convincing proofs that the average

Even under present conditions Of a
scarcity Of second mortgage money and
Of lack Of cash on the part Of many

Outlined.
BY ELLEN EDDY SHAW.

Some plants which may be brought
into the house at this time Of the
year and do well are the following.
Geranium, begonia, coleus, dusty mil
Ter, English ivy, heliotrope, lobelia and
fuchsia.
If house plants are not already in,
follow this procedure. First, If the
soil Is very dry, moisten it some few
hours before taking up the plants.
Then dig around the roots of the plant
so that ball OF soil remains clinging
to the roots. In this way the plant
which is to be put under new condi-
tons will have some of the old familiar
soil with it.
Then choose your flower pot, TAX
ing one as small as possible; that is,
one which will hold the root system and
not have much space left over The
more the roots of house plants and
window box plants are crowded the
better top growth one gets. Put piece

of the flower pot and fills in an inch

ARCHITECTURAL WORK
PLANNED IN NEW YORK

The Architects Emergency Commit
tee for the region Of New York is con-
sidering q plan to provide work for
architects and designers who have been
hit hard by the recession in construc-
ton In the past year.
Unemployed architects and drafts
men, nearlv 500 of whom are seeking
work at a bureau maintained by q COM
mittee of the Architectural League in
New York. would be employed under
this plan in making repairs TO estates
country clubs, golf clubs, Summer
homes and farms
What we need right now" said
Warren Matthews, New York architect,
who proposed the plan, "is the names
OF owners Of country real estate who
desire to have Improvements made and
who are willing to enter into an agree
ment whereby the work would be done
by experts at cost of less than half
Of the ordinary expense 1t is esti-
mated, for example, that under this
$1,000 worth of repairs
could be completed for approximately
50 500.
THE owner would provide the place
for the architect to live, the materials
and a small sum of money for the
worker. In return he would receive the
services of skilled professional man"
