Mills Brothers Jump to
 Radio Fame Uith $6.5O
 Guitar and Trick Music

NEW YORK, Dec. 1O.-They say that fame doesn't come overnight any more.
 But whoever said it must not have been thinking of radio. For before the microphone things sometimes happen so suddenly that even the persons most directly con- cerned hardly realize what has taken place until they have a chance to catch their breath.
 That, in a nutshell, describes the rather romantic rise to prime position as microphone entertain CTS of the Mills brothers, four negro youths from midwestern Ohio.
 They came to New York with their $6.50 guitar and landed solid ly with all eight feet. Their suc- cess is due to their singing and their ability to initiate musical in struments almost without end. Real Orchestra They do this trick so well that they sound like real orchestra ill action; even musicians have de- manded the right to see them per- form before believing that their only instrument is a guitar. The four boys are John 21, Her bert 19, Harry Is and Donald IT.. John is bass and plays" tuba and third trumpet besides humping the guitar. Herbert handles" sec ond trumpet, saxaphone and trom- bone. Harry, the baritone, is first trumpet,
 The boys list Piqua, Ohio, as their birthplace, and they first be- gan singing when John was only 13. Their first real job was in their fathers barber shop. Next htey pacek the local opera house for three nights straight despite down pouring rain. They received $120 night.
 Go To Work
 Then the family moved to Belle fontaine, where in 1926 they found it necessary to quit school. Here they provided entertainment at various social affairs. Last year they moved to Cincinnati and, thinking about radio, went to work at WLW.
 They had 13 weekly programs in short time.
 Why not go to New York;" friends asked.
 Somewhat dubious they decided after long conferences. But they wouldn't come without their moth- CT
 They ventured into the WABC-

q. On hand No. we will say that you bid three spades and made four. therefore you scored 90 Tor the three tricks bid and 50 for the overtrick. As you did not bid game, although you made 1t, you cannot score the game bonus.
 (2) On the second hand you bid two no trump and had four aces Tn one hand. You score 70 for. the two tricks bid and 150 for the four aces held in one hand. You will notice made 90 on the first and 70 on the second, and although these total 160 points-more than enough for game you cannot take the game bonus as you did not bid for game in one hand. In other words. the total of partial scores does not count to- wards game in pivot and progress sive bridge.
 (3) on hand No. 3 let us say that you are the dealer, therefore under the vulnerable ruling your side is vulnerable. Your opponents are not volunerable. Your opponents bid three no trump and make small siam, but as they only bid three they score only 105 for the three tricks bid and made, and as they made three overtricks. they score DO each for the overtricks, or 150 points. AS their side was not vulnerable they are entitled to only 300 point game bonus.
 able ruling says that both sides are vulnerable. For illustration, your side bid four no trump and made five. You score 35 each for the four tricks bid, or 140 points, and as you made five, you score 50 for the over trick, Both sides being vulnerable. you are entitled to 500 points for game bonus.
 Totaling the two columns up at the end of the four deals, we ind that you have made a score of 1O6O points, your opponents have made 555 points. Tn auction bridge some players are used to carrying on their tally the total plus score that was made, but in contract 1t is impera- tive that the smaller score be sub tracted from the larger. In this case we find that you have net differ- ence of 495 points. In other words you are plus 495 points and your op- ponents are minus 495 points. The plus and minus scoring must be used in contrac tin order to make 1t a good party game. The all plus score does not properly penalize an over- ambitious bidder who is alwyas try iuk foi game or slam, but when they find that they must take a minus score for their blunders. their bids ding will be more accurate.

Because it is so helpful in keeping babies and children healthy and happy, every mother should learn all about Phillips Milk of Magnesia.
 This harmless, almost tasteless
 preparation is most effective in re- lieving those symptoms of babies and children generally caused by souring food in the little digestive tract, such as sour belching, fre- quent vomiting, feverishness, collie.
 As mild laxative, it acts gently, but certainly, to open the little bowels in constipation, colds, children's dis eases.

BY VIM. E. McAENNEH Secretary, American Bridge League
 In yesterdays article we showed you how to score contract bridge for rubbers. There are a great many who desire to play contract in their own homes, playing four hands and then changing partners. This of course, is the same. procedure that is used at pivot and progressive par ties.
 The scoring problem is slightly diff ferent for this type of game from that of rubbes> bridge scoring. In rubber bridge a side becomes vulner- able when 1t makes a game. Thls game can be made in one hand or with the aid of partial scores. In pivot and progressive bridge. before the start of play. the players them selves must arbitrarily determine the Vulnerable features of each hand. Thb simplest procedure is to play all hands not vulnerable or all hands vulnerable. If the players desire, all four of the vulnerable features should then be played in the follow ing manner:
 Wrist hand-neither side vulner- abe.
 Second and third hands-Dealer's side vulnerable only.
 Fourth hand-Both sides vulner- able.
 In pivot of progressive bridge you are required to make game in one hand in. order to receive game bonus. The game bonuses are as fol- lows: 300 points if declarer's side is not vulnerable; 500 points If de- clarer's side Is vulnerable.
 It is not necessary to keep an pivot and progressive bridge. An above and below the line score for ordinary score pad can be used ono column headed "We" or My Score and the other column head ed "They' or Opponents Score" Let us say that we are playing the four different vulnerable features. An example of the scoring of four hands is given below:
