case adversary or partner has bid, a bid of two clubs has it's normal significance and this is also the case when the bidder has a score of 60-75. Under any other conditions an original bid of two Clubs car ries the artificial meaning.
 The two-culb bid can be made by Dealer, by Second Hand after Dealer has passed, by Third Hand after two passes, or by Fourth Hand after three passes. It has the same meaning in all cases.
 The two-club bid is made:
 a. When the bidder has two long,
 strong suits and wants his
 partner to express a prefer
 ence.
 b. When the bidder has a strong
 no-trump hand, with one suit
 either unstOppcd or insccurely
 stopped; and desires to find out
 whether his partner has that
 suit protected. and whether the
 partner prefers no-trump or
 the bidders best suit.
 c. When the bidder holds ten
 tricks fin major suit or eleven
 in a minor and wants to find
 out whether the partner has an
 ace and a king, because in that
 event he desires to make q
 slam bid.
 The strength requirements for the two-club bid are that it's mak- CT have eight playing tricks with either suit, when he is giving his partner the choice of two suits, or eight tricks with the suit and a no- trump count of at least 21, when he Is asking his partner to select be- tween a suit ond a no-trump.
 Should adversary to the left in- terpose bid after an artificial two-club bid, the partner of the two-club bidder may pass (the bid- ding has been kept open) or may make any normal bid that his hand contains. If he or the two-club bidder should double. 1t is for bus. iness-as the two-club bid has an- nounced great strength, and a bus mess double may be most profit able. However. Knowing that he IS opposed by great strength, an ad- versary rarely will put his head in the moose by bidding.

LESSON NO. 13 The Two-CIub Bid

In one of our opening Chapters we observed that the Advisory Council denies the right of anyone to lay down mandatory laws for in- dividual bidding.
 Within the last two years there has been developed an artificial game-demand bid, known as the two-club bid, and many express sions of approval and many re- ports of excellent bidding results from the use of this two-club con- vention have been received.

WHEN the boys got TO high school It had not
taken their classmates long to discover that
there was a difference between Paul and Pete
Cannon, even though they were twins. Before
long it was evident that Pete was going to be
one of the best athletes that Union had ever
had. Soon some humorist had dubbed the
brothers big Shot" and Little Shot" to dis
tinguish them. and the names stuck. Nobody
seemed to consider that Paul might be rather
sensitive about his brothers superiority.
Ordinarily Paul took 1t very we'll He was
well liked himself, and If he had not had q
brother at ali he would have been one of the
most popular boys in school. But as 1t was
Pete got all the attention and Paul received
even less than he deserved. But he was 30
fond Of his brother that he didn't care. And
there were some compensations Paul's standing
in his classes was usually o little better than
Pete's, and the difference would have been stin
greater, perhaps, If their teachers hadn't got
them mixed up now and then, marking Paul
when Pete recited and putting . grade after
Pete's name when Paul really should have
had It.

He attracted special attention from
other soldiers of the Rainbow and
they flocked to see him when his regi-

through the roads or more uncertain

passed.
"How're they coming, Hank? !.
What're you hitting in the kaiser's

Hank and his outfit marched by.
