 In thIs article of the series on the new official system" of bid ding, I will discuss defensive and attacking over-cnIls' after the op- ponents have bid.
 TO make q defensive suit bid of one" there must be q biddable hve-card suit and minimum of one and onc-haIf high card tricks. If q four-card suit, two high card tricks should be held.
 Two make q defensive suit bid of two" not vulnerable, there must be fair fivc-card bfddhble suit and minimum of two high card tricks with four 10 five prob able trlcks in the hand. If vul- ncrabIe. the suit bid should be a strong suit. such az A-Q-J-8-6.
 When one makes n defensive suit bid of three" you are getting into the danger zone. With the "oHicial systems" opening bid of two, the defending hand is placed in q most embarrassing position, particularly when the two bid happens to be a major. The cheap. defensive, strategical bid vanishes and the opponents must be very CHTGLul. WI INV about six co probable tricks are the safety minimum; when vul- nerabIe seven (7) for the "de- fensive suit bid of three"
 The "attacking Overcalls' in the official system" are made In i've ways as follows:

WAKE UP YOUR LIVER BILE- WITHOUT CAL0MEL And You'll Jump Out of Bed in
 the Morning Karin to Go

If you feel sour and sunk and tho world looks punk, don't swallow . lot of sslts, mineral water, oil, laxative candy or chewing gum and expect them to make you suddenly sweet and buoyant and full of sunshine.
 For they can't do 1t. They only move the bowels ard mere movement doesn't get at the cause. The reason for your down-and-out feeling is your liver. It should pour out two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily.
 If this bile is not flowing frsely, your food doesn't digest. It just decays in the bowels. Gas bloats up your stomach. You have . thick. bad taste and your breath h foul, skin often breaks out in blemishcs. Your head aches and you feel down and out. Your whole system h poisoned.
 It takes those good, old CRITTERS LITTLE LIVER PILLS to get these two pounds of bile flowing freely and make you loc "up and up." They contain wonderful, harmless. gentle vegetable extracts. amazing when It comes to making the bile flow freely.
 But don't ask for liver pills. Ask for Carter's Little Liver Pills. Look for tho name Carter's Little Liver Pills on tho rod label. Resent substitute. 25c at all stores. o 1881 C. M. Co.

 If your partner has bid. this is fl "gamc-denand bid" and in fact it indicates slam possibilities It shows general high card strength (at least four H) high card trIcks) and usualy freakIsh dIstrlbu- ton.

If your partner has not bid, q. low stages of bidding II means that you have strong biddable suit, that the oppo- nents have probably been bluhing. and that you are will ing to play tho suit.

ORIGINAL ALICE IN WONDERLAND | IS STILL ALIVE
But as People of England Honored the Authors Birthday This SO=Year= Old Lady Played With Grandchildren
By H. T. RUSSELL United Press Staff CorrespOndentl

United Press Staff COrreSpOndent)
 London, Jan 27- (UP) - The original "Alice in Wonderland" was more interested in her seven- months-old granddaughters, Alice. than in her .tictionized self" today as thousands observed the tooth anniversary of the birth of Lewis Carroll, author of the enchanting story book Adventures"
 While the mayor and mayoress of Guilford placed a wreath on CarrolPs grave and thousands of Englishmen recalled the adventures of the White King and the Uni corn and other characters he created. the original Alice, Mrs Alice Hargreaves, now so years old, played with her granddaugh- ter. But she remembered the day when, as Alice Liddell, she sat at Carrolls feet and asked him to tell us a story
 Carroll, whose real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, told Alice Liddell and her two sisters a story, and told it with such en- thusiasm that it became one of the imm ortal tales of English litera- ture. Years later, the story was TeSdIOcu dS SuCIi d IHdolSh PieSo that Dr A. S. w. Rosebach of original manuscript.
 The original Alice did not think Dodgson very interesting as a later, she and her sisters and the lecturer rowed down the river in a boat and the uninteresting lec- hnoa r1nct fo SpinA finp of story tellers.
 The children. and especially Alice. thrilled to his story of the Mad Hatter," of the White Rab- bit, and the Magic Forest. They were entranced by the mouse, splashing in the pool of tears, and by the Walrus and the Carpenter.
 The great story teller would talk, and talk, until he came to a part of the story which the children considered most exciting. Then some times he would nod sleepily. or say it was time for tea. or merely, that's all until the next time!"
 The stories were so popular with CarrolPso very elect audience that he promised. to write them down for Alice, so that she might: e.. Lay it where childhood's
 dreams are turned,
 ''In memorys mystic band. Like pilgrims withered wreath
 of flowers
 "Pluck'd in far-off land"
 The story of Alice in Wonder land, when Carroll decided to publish it, was so popular that he wrote the sequel, Through the Looking Glass"
 Officials of the Clifford corpora ton denied reports in the press alleging that Carrolps grave. was neglected.
 "The grave is kept in beautiful condition," said F. H. Elseley. secretary of the local committee. "The Guilford corporation has agreed to keep it thus in perpe- tuity."

 Rev McKinnell will substantiate the story told by his wife of the strange actions of his daughter during her youth.
 Judd's brother, Burton, was ex- pected to tell of her reactions when she attempted to claim in Los Angeles the trunks containing the bodies of Mrs Leroi and He'd wig Samuelson. her alleged victims. Dr Judd, student of psychiatry will, according to defense counsel,

tell of intimate conversations with his 26-year-old wife. The defense hopes to prove that if Mrs Judd killed Mrs Leroi, she was incapable of knowing the diff ference between right and wrong. Through Mrs McKinnell the de- fense yesterday laid the founda- ton for its insanity plea (.
 The quaint little old lady, who wore box hat and square trimmed spectacles. was just able to control her emotions while she related in- cidents of Winnie Ruth's early life.
 She told of Winnie's mother mania"-how she longed for chill dren and pretended to have had them-only to have her dreams dissolved.
 She told of finding Winnie mak- ing baby clothes at the age of r though the girl was not to have child.
