AUCTION BIDDING:

No score, rubber game. T. dealt and
and B passed. Z now bid two diamonds,
A two hearts, and again Y and B
passed. z was now in a position when
he could safely bid three diamonds but
with no chance for game as his partner,
Y, had refused to assist his bid. He
therefore decided to bid two spades,
knowing that if he we're doubled he
could bid three diamonds and that his
partner would not assist the spade bid
unless he had good spades. 1t always
is dangerous to assist a partners sec
ondary bid; that is one made on the
second or subsequent rounds of bid
ding, without at least four cards of
that suit.
After Z bid two spades, A bid three
hearts and Y properly bid three spades.
This bid is justihable because Of Y's
strong holding in the spade suit. B
then bid four hearts and Z, having
confidence in Y's assist, bid four spades
and all passed. Needless to say, Y Y
made four spades, losing one heart,
one club and one spade trick. This hand
and rs bidding are good examples of
what can be done by good players in
arriving at the best bid of the combined
hands. rs clever inferential bidding
gave him game not possible if be had
continued to bid diamonds. 1t is oli
hands such as these that the expert
has such a great advantage over TIE
average player.
CONTRACT BIDDING:
The same as for Auctioa.

Diamonds - A, K, 9, 8, S, 3
Spades - A, 10
AUCTION BIDDING:

No score, first game. Z first should
bid one diamond and, if overbid, either
by partner or opponents, should bid
hearts. 1t is a very strong two-suiter
and certain game at the best bid Of
the combined hands of Y Z. 1t is better
to first bid diamonds as it is the longer
suit and therefore offers better chance
for game, even though requiring one
more trick than hearts. Always prefer
the longer suit, if the longer suit is as
good as an original bid, even though
the shorter suit is major.
CONTRACT BIDDING:

Justified in bidding two diamonds to

AUCTION BIDDING:

AOS L AO4N DAD%A4NOs
No score, rubber game. Z dealt and
passed. A bid one heart, Y bid two
spades and B bid four diamonds. When
Z passed, A was up against a most
peculiar and unusual situation. Should
he rebid his hearts or take a chance
that his partner could go game in dia-
monds?
The two-spade bid by Y practically
decided the question, for that bid in
dicated at least six spades in VS. hand
and therefore four losing spades in AS
hand. Even if the hearts should drop,
A would be unable to go game in case
he should lose four spade tricks. He
therefore passed and his judgment
proved to be good as his partner made
FIVE odd in diamonds. Z opened a spade
and B obtained two club discards, one
on spades and one on hearts. All he had
to lose were one club and one diamond
trick. 1t is most interesting hand and
illustrative of the value of analysis of
the bidding and the consequent 6is-
tribution of the various suits before
deciding upon the final bid. Very few
players could or would have failed to
bid four hearts with AS cards and by
so doing would have lost the game.
Milford chronicle., 1931-05-29
CONTRACT BIDDING:

This hand is hardly strong enough
for two-bid in clubs, although such
bid would not be criticized. One club
is the better bid and, il overbid by
partner or opponents, the dealer should
make forcing bid in hearts. Such a
bid will indicate the great strength
held and notify partner that there is
good chance for game.
Here's hand that shows the value
Of clever bidding in obtaining the best
bid for the combined hands. 1t is a
perfect example of drawing quick and
correct inferences from the bidding;

Clubs SO, 7,4,2

show partner not only good chance
for game, but also slam possibilities. If
overbid by partner or opponents, he
should then show the heart suit,
Here's another example;
Milford chronicle., 1931-05-29
CONTRACT BIDDING:

Z should bid one club but, If overbid
by partner or opponents, should show
the diamond suit by bidding one more
trick than necessary to overcall the
preceding bid. Such bid is known
as forcing bid and tells partner that
the bidders hand justifies a try for
game.
Here's another hand of the same
type:

Milford chronicle., 1931-05-29
AUCTION BIDDING:

No score, rubber game. z as dealer
should bid one club and, if overbid,
either by partner or opponents, should
show the diamond suit. 1t is two
suiter of the strongest type and q
should not hesitate to bid both suits
if the opportunity offers.
Milford chronicle., 1931-05-29
AUCTION BIDDING:

No score, first game. z should first
bid one club and, if his partner helps
that suit, he should not show the heart
suit. If, however, his partner or oppo-
nents should overbid, he should then
show the heart suit. Two-suiters are
the strongest hands that can be held
at the better bid for the combined
hands and should be bid with the
purpose of informing partner of the
type of hand and of requiring him to
select that one of the two suits bid that
will offer the best chance for game.

Carbon Monoxide, the Unseen Danger"
has been shown before audiences total
ing more than $4,000 people since the
circulation Of the film was started, some
Is months ago, it is announced by Scott
Turner, director Of the bureau. The
Aim viSualizes the hazards of this deadly
gas which, because Of its presence in
automobile eXhausts and in city gas,
presents real danger to almost every
one.
Showing OF this Aim to more than
half a million of our citizens has helped
greatly to conserve life," said Mr.. Tur-
ner. The perils Of what has been
called the universal poison gas make
a more lasting impression on the mind
when shown in vivid scenes on the
screen than would be made by merely
reading an article on the subject"
AS q result of recent showing Of
the carbon monoxide film before board
Of Army officers, decision was reached
by the War Department to acquire at
its own expense SO copies of this Aim
for circulation by the Signal Corps to
all Army posts, Army service schools,
environments. National Guard units and
citizens military training camps Copies
will be sent to the Philippine Islands,

D. C.-BAL TIMORE ROAD
IS NEARLY COMPLETED
Few Feet Under Underpass Get
Last Work, but Are Kept
Opened to Traffic.

BALTIMORE, July 25.-All but few
feet of the new 40-foot- Washing
ton Boulevard has been completed, and
the incomplete stretch will be finished
In few weeks, the State Roads Com
mission announces. The unfinished link
is part of an old road running along
the outskirts of Elkridge. One side Is
open to traffic now. Road workers are
paving the other side.
When the road workers have finished
the pavement on one side they will step
across to the other to take up their Job
there and traffic will be directed over
the newly paved half.
The old underpass, where the unfln-
ished span of the boulevard dips under
the TRACKS of the Baltimore e. Ohio
Railroad. has been replaced with span
having a 50-foot clearance. The old
span was built by the railroad II years
ago to eliminate the Main street grade
crossing in Elkridge.
At that time the Roads Commission
relocated a short stretch of the Balti-
more Washington road. The relocated
link ran from the Patapsco River Bridge
under the old underpaSs and returned
to Main street. The new 40-foot boule-
ward carries the highway west Of Elk
ridges business section into practically
undeveloped territory. 1t eliminates q
steep and winding road that passed two
school houses and was too narrow for
the volume of traffic that passed over it
every day.

which q regular naval officer must be
proficient. It Is felt that a Reserve Of
ficer should confine his efforts either to
general deck duties, general engineering
duties or specialist duties along par
ticular lines. In the Regular Army, it
was said, 1t Is not expected to make all
line officers proficient communication
officers.
The Reserve officers recommended
that the Navy Department take prompt
and decisive action In disenrollinR or
transferring officers who have been re-
ported as unsatisfactory by area or
state Naval Reserve commanding Of
ficers and the district commandant The
Bureau Of Navigation, In concurring in
this recommendation, added that this
policy Is being carried out and in no
cases have recommendations along
these lines been diSapproved by the
bureau.
Answering the recommendation that
the inspector Instructors for Naval
Reserve cruises on the Great Lakes be
selected with the greatest care, and be
given certain preliminary indoctrina-
ton and instruction, the bureau COM
mented that this recommendation has
been the bureaus policy and will be
followed in the future.
~ WuO 4CCOkIuIlCLOcU LIlaG where
practicable, the director Of Naval
Reserve be selected from those officers
who have had previous experience, of
at least year, with the Naval Reserve,
and that the officer selected be
preferably junior rear admiral
The Bureau of Navigation said that
this Is recognized by the bureau as q
sound policy, and win be followed so
far as practicable. It Is not considered
advisable, the bureau added, that the
director shall be junior rear admiral,
as it would make the director Of Naval
Reserve senior to the assistant chief
Of the Bureau of Navigation.
Another recommendation was that q
joint conference be convened at least
once q year for the discussion Of Naval
Reserve problems, the conference to be
composed OF six officers appointed by
the chief of the Bureau of Navigation,
three of whom shall be Naval Reserve
officers recommended by the president
OF the Naval Reserve Officers Associa-
ton. The bureau said that conferences
are valuable, but it is felt that once
year is unnecessarily often. Once in
two years should suffice. They will be
called when it Is felt necessary to dis
cuSS any matters that may come up.
They involve expense, which must be
taken into consideration.

'FDidnt he get her because he thought
