Police Break Up Dressmakers' Dance
On Saturday night, while the en-
tertainment and dance of the dress
makers was going on in Casa D'Amor
Hall in Coney Island, a group of
miners came into the hall and were
enthusiastically received by the
workers. One of the miners came
up on the platform and began II de-
scribe the conditions of the striking
miners. A herd of police and de-
tectives descended on the hall, pre-
pared with patrol wagon, and
forced the workers out of the hall.
This forcible breaking up of the
dance shows that the bosses and
their police agents are ready to use
their brutal violence against the
workers in every instance.
The workers present vigorously
protested against the action of the
police and pledged to redouble their
efforts in assisting the striking
up1ers.

 Holding better than two quick tricks and no biddable suit, invite partner to so to q slam by bid ding four no trump.
 Holding three quick tricks or better and no biddable suit, bid six no trump.
 On all minimum holdings which are less than described above, you must answer with two no trump. This denies any of the above hold ings and gives partner an oppor- tunity to show another suit. If partner shows a second suit and you cannot support this suit, you are required to go to three no trump as the bidding must be kept open until game Is arrived at. Generally, though. when part ner has shown two-suit hand. It Is better to support one of part ner's bids rather than go to three no trump, unless you have the other two suits stopped.

 Perhaps the most abused bid in contract bridge Is the forcing two- bid.
 If the beginner has taken up the he Is possessed with the idea that every good looking hand should be opened with . forcing two-bid. The majority of experts today, who use and advocate the forcing tWo- bid, rarely make one.
 The beginner at contract will force when he should bid one, will bid one on handa that should be bid two or if he kets hand that contains lot of high card tricks, will become excited and will bid three or four.
 The requirements for a forcing two-bid in the straight forcing system are rather simple. It should not be made unless you are prepared to play a game-going declaration, even if partners hand does not contain a trick. It Is q demand bid and not only does It require partner to keep the bid- ding open, but you are also obliged to keep the bidding open until game-going declaration Is arriveds at, therefore. you should not bid two on any hand that is not apt to produce game in itself.
 In our previous article we learned that partner is required to keep all of your bids open with one and one-half tricks, therefore it is not necessary to make an original forcing bid if one and one-half tricks are required to produce game. It Is quite true that we have some hands that will produce game if partners hand contains only one probable trick, but these are handled with an original bid of three, which re- quirea partner to go to game with d probable in-card. Generally speaking. five to five and one-half quick tricks are required to make an opening two-bld, although there are types of hands that can

For Hard Coughs That
 Call For Super Help

Creomulsion is made for coughs and colds that hang on. For coughs deep and dificult-coughs where you dare not risk less effective help.
 But careful people use it for coughs which seem milder-use it to do the utmost and be safe. For nobody knows where a cough may lead.
 Creomulsion combines seven major helps in one. Some coughs yield best to one help, some to another. Doctors often differ on the best help, for coughs are not alike. So here we combine all the best-to be sure.
 Creosote stands first. Here it is blended, emulsifed and made palata. ble. For soothing membranes and combating germs, it is considered the supreme help in this type of cough.
