Of those honor tricks may be in the
same suit, with no regard for a suit in
which each partner has two or three
losing cards.
Safety In Sims Method.
There is reasonable safety in the Sims
method Of slam bidding and surely go
after the big hands as much as any
body. After partner and myself have
agreed on what we want to make the
trump further bidding of other suits
by either of us shows possession of an
ace. Often one such ace-showing bid is
all that is needed. Lack of such a
bid from either partner is a stop signal
We stop short of the impossible slam
bids that the other fellow stumbles
into blindly.
Anyhow am certain that the last
word on contract bidding has not been
written. So many players are using my
methods that guess I'll try and think
up some new wrinkles.

MCCORMICK WILL STILL BOTHERS
 THE OFFICIALS
It Will Be PrObated, How ever-Any Heir That Contests Will Lose His or Her Share

Chicago, Aug 30-U. P.) - At torney Charles $. Cutting, whC drew up Edith Rockefeller McCor- mick's will. said to-day that the document would be probated just as if Edwin Krenn, principal bene- ficiary, had retained his share oi the estate instead of selling 1t to his bushes. partner. Cutting and the executor, Abel Davis. said 1t was impossible now to estimate the value of the estate, once estimated at more than $40,0O0,000. Predic- tions were that 1t might not now amount to more than SIP. 900.
 The will. dated August 4, three weeks before Mrs Mccormick s death, provided that krenn, her friend and adviser, should receive i've -twelfths of the fortune and her three children the other seven- tweIfths. The document explained that Mrs Mccormick had borrowed heavily from Krenn and that the money was due him.
 Two clauses of the will Were re- garded as of particular importance. One provided that any legatee who contested the will should lose his or her share and that this share should go to Krenn. The other pro- vision Is that the executor Is given pra cticclly the same control over the estate that Mrs Mccormick had during her life.
 On August 12. eight days after the will was signed, krenn signed over Ao his business partner. Ed ward DatO, all rights in the estate. Under this provision Dato practi- cally controls the fortune for the time being. The odd clause makes 1t possible, however. for the execu- tor to take over as much of Da- to's control as he wishes. The for tune is tied up largely in Krenn and Dato real estate.

Harold L. Menjou Was Acquitted of Murder Charge, But Faces Man- slaughter for Fatal Auto Crash

Los Angeles. Aug 30.-(UP)- Harold L. Menjou, adopted son of Adolph Menjou, actor, was acquit- ted of charges of murder and driv- ing while drunk, but must return to court September 26 for trial on a charge of manslaughter. Charges against Menjou grow out of an au- tomobile accident in which his companion. Marjorie Gauthier. 1G, was killed. Police said MenJou was intoxicated and driving 80 miles an hour. He blamed de- fective steering gear for the acci- dent.
 Attorneys said Menjou's case Is unusual in that he has been found not guilty of mansluaghter, yet must stand trial again on that charge. The murder charge of which he was acquitted included the mansIaughter charge, 1t was said. but questioning by the judge disclosed that the jury really had reached no agreement on the lesser charge.
