The office by o'clock! How that thought
somforted Lucille Somehow, she suddenly felt
proud of Paul's having to be at his office this
morning as usual. 1t seemed to offer firm
ground for her to stand on. 1t seemed to drive
the atmosphere of cigarette smoke, lipsticks and
silly chatter out of her mind
And at that moment she didn't feel envious
of the smart younger generation OF today with
its gay parties and hilarious carryngs-on.
Lucille Just wanted always to be with Paul; she
wanted always to hear Paul talk about being
at his office at O'Clock She almost wished
she and Paul had come home last night at IL
o'clock
Yes; her dad was right. Anyway, she was
glad she had found out. And she was also
glad that her father wouldn't ever know.
Most of the 40 miles home, Paul drove with
one arm about her He just held her close,
sort of protectingy Lucille realized it. The
little squeezes he gave her now and then really
meant something's lifetime of happiness of
reality.

He was waiting for them. From the curb.

The "OWIci0lSystem"

In the new system the informative. IN
formatory or take-out double is not classed as
defensive measure as in older systems, but
as an attacking weapon, which it surely is
1t conveys to the partner the news that suffi-
cient strength is held to make it likely that
the side will score, rather than the opponents,
and guarantees enough so that the partner
can afford to respond with a worthless hand.
TIE way to distinguish it from a penalty
oouole Is made simple and clear double is
m1ormatory only under these circumstances:
% When the doubler had no previous op-
portunlty to double; C2) when the bid doubled
Is not higher than one no trump or three of
a suit; go when the partner of the doubler
had not previously bid or doubled All other
doubles are business doubles" for penalties
since the hlgh-card trick table of the new
system counts as many as three tricks in a
single suit, as against two or two and half
In some other tables, the total required for an
mformatory double in this system is higher,
either in that type of trick or in Institutional
advantages. In general, it should be at least
3I2 high-card tricks if the desired bid is OF
only one; II it is of two; ~ if it is of three
The fine player will shade this or increase IL
slightly according to special considerations,
depending on whether partner had previously
passed, whether both opponents or only one
had bid, whether the doubled bid is at the
right or the left, etc.
Partner must not pass an informatory
double in this system, unless relieved from
responsibility by the intervening opponents
bid, except because of such great strength in
the doubled declaration that he can defeat it
soundly for more points than probably could
be scored at his own sides declaration. A four
card major should be preferred as response to
a five-card minor. Two shoppers in the doubled
suit justify a no trump.

services of a man all night. The pan is thor
oughly rinsed then secured with steel wool. A
knife is used around all the gaskets TO dig out

In the morning, before any milk is taken

Despite all these precautions, yeast often

This hand came near the end Of duplicate
contest. Stanley M. Brown in the South, knew
his pair had to get exceptionally fine result
on it in order to win the event, so he sought

and play to get it.
His opening club bid was passed by West

daring when vunerable-and Mr. Brown two

North called three hearts, East passed and MIR.
Brown went to three no trump. West doubled,

of those suits. East discarded down to his
four highest hearts and his spade ten, an
unhappy choice, for now the spade jack drop

After cashing it, the two red aces were brought
in and only heart was lost at the end. The

should have one of two characteristics. Either
it should have sufficient length and strength
in three declarations TO support take-out
into any of them and to bid no trump if the
fourth is shown, or it should possess some
reserve bid of its own if partner responds with
a non-fil1ing call. 1t should practically never
be made with two suffer, which usually
should be shown by a bid of one of the two
suits by call of one higher than minimum

PEELED to break forth into the noble
family Of games, but you are the only who
mas chcked You have captured the spirit of
the game and your philosophy of it is the first
contribution along that line since Dr. William
Pole, many moons ago. wrote wisely on the
philosophy of whist 100
John M. Storm Of Cleveland writes:
Shepard Barclay the modern bridge poet
writes one poem a week. into which he injects
the modern spirit. A touch of sincerity (rather

Each card played in error constitutes res
woke There is no penalty however, for
dummy's revoke, in either contract or auction
Therefore, only the adversaries may be pena1-
lied. In contract the penalty is two tricks for
the first revoke by any player; hence the side
pays a penalty of four tricks to the declareE.
If it hasn't that many tricks it gives him 100
points in the honor score for every trick 1t Is
unable to pay.
In auction the penalty is two tricks for the
first revoke by the side, one trick for each
subsequent revoke by the side; hence
the auction penalty in this case is only three
tricks; if the side lacks that many tricks in
auction the penalty is considered fulfilled by
giving up all the tricks the side has.

70 80 per cent of them. Since their general
mode of life stand comparison with that
of any similar number of people since the
world began, they require words of defense
in their behalf. Such being the case, bridge
itself needs no defense against those who at
tack it,
One ray Of sunshine in the gloom Of the
current depression is the fact that many people
have learned how to entertain themselves
wholesomely by means of this most appealing
of games. Those who lack the money to spend
for pleasures they once sought are making their
own fun by playing bridge. Instead of paying
several dollars to sit in a chair while somebody
else furnishes them entertainment they are
rolling their own" If there is anything wrong
or harmful in that, it is hard to figure out.
The cry has been raised that it is harmful
TO study the game, with the idea of developing
real proficiency in it, That is equivalent to
the doctrine that it is wrong to do anything
well. Happily, plenty of people like to do well
In anything which is worthy of their attention
and hence strive to learn to play the best they
can. They are the ones who derive the most
pleasure from it, likewise the ones who gain
the greatest mental benefit in analytical train
ing.
Those who berate the ability of the game
to improve the mind do not understand what
Edgar Allan Poe meant when he said that
whist has long been noted for its influence
upon what is termed the calculating power
and men of the highest order of intellect take
delight in It," The most respected, prominent
and brilliant people in the world play bridge
today, as they did whist in his time.

Once in a while we like to see
The cards all run the other way,
Once in while We get thrill
From dropping each fnesse we play,
Once in a while we all rejoice.
In finding our opponents strong,
Once in a while we're glad to learn
That something in our systems wrong.
Once in a while we like to lose
While knowing that we did our best,
Once in a While we like to say
Our play VS. poor by any test.
Once in a while it's lots of fun
To know we're beaten by mile,
Once in a while these all are true,
But only once in a while.

THOMAS PUSHES
|. PUBLIC WORKS
MEASURE

Pleading for a public works
construction program as an
amendment to the La Toilette
Costigan jobless relief bill, Sena-
tor Thomas Cd, of Oklahoma
yesterday quoted a statement by
William Randolph Hearst in sup
port of the proposal.
Thomas declared that in a
radio speech last summer Mr..
Hearst told how President Hoo
yer, during his campaign, Won
many to his support by the mag
nificent program of public i'm
provementS which he described as
the main feature of his policy"
Mr.. Hearst added:
This is not a time to reduce
the national debt through bur.
densOme taxation and thereby
reduce prosperity. '
"It is a time to increase
the national debt and increase
the expenditure of the Govern
ment in public works in the
employment of labor and there
by increase prosperity.
"a gigantic appropriation by
the Government, not for a dole,
but for the employment of a
vast amount of labor at the
prevailing rate of prosperity
wages, would not only stabilize
wages but would Immediately
set the machinery in motion
for the restoration of pros
perity; provided, of course, that
the Government expended the
appropriation and did not set
on it perpetually like a de-
luded hen on a porcelain door
knob"
Thomas wanted to authorize
$3.50, 100000 to carry out Federal
projects already approved by ex-
ecutive departments, such as pub
lie buildings, Army housing and
veterans hospitals.

Small Town Is Necessary.
(Slayton, Minn., Herald.)

Two things have come out of the depression lation have discovered that they carnot get along without the country. The small communities have discovered that they can make their own life with out much worrying concerning large cities. For long it habit of big cities to display airs of superiority to the so-called rural communities !" They have pretended to believe that the small town was passing into eclipse, and that people would
 important and influential. And, also, lot of country people, lured by the glamor of the cities have left the countryside. They have discovered many of them too late, that life in the small com munities have thousand advantages not possessed by large .centers, and that the mushroom develop ments of big cities has been bad, not too good thing Today the small city is taking new dignity and individuality. We everywhere the proof that the small community is realizing it's pos abilities, forgetting to ape the manners of the more artificial "centers of population" and attending enthusiastically to the duty of building destiny for itself As the small community becomes strength ened and as the farm community becomes more Independent the large city will prosper too. What we need in America is vitality of individual effort, and this is what the small city will give in the next generation as it did in the past. The dis llusoned folk who thought that the bright lights were what made life worth while will be drifting back to the country eager to capture again the peace, the sincerity, the integrity, the glad ness that abides where neighbory comradeship is possible

WASHINGTON STATE PRIMARY.

The two distinguished features of the Washing ton State primaries Tuesday the overwhelming defeat of Gov. Harley by the Republicans and the large vote cast in the Democratic primary Gov Hartley has been riding for fall and the fall has The blow was somewhat harder than was expected, but there many people who believed that he would not be third term Governor. The nomination of John A. Gellatly by the Republicans was not so much victory for him it was a defeat for Hartley.
 The renomination of Senator Jones and the return of former Congressman John F. Miller, both drys of long standing though both had agreed to resubmisson of the Eighteenth Amendment, will be a surprise to many. Their nomination and the fact that Gellatly has a long record enthusiastic dry might be construed victory for Prohibition. However they added to their strength by favoring the resubmssion of the liquor question to the people. The situation improved for them by the great trek of voters from the Republican to the Demo- cratic primary. Thousands of vets who would have voted against Jones and Miller if they had par tcipated in the Republican primary deserted the Republicans and voted Democratic
 The chances that all three of these old line Republican drys will be defeated in the general election. Clarence D. Martin Mayor of Cheney flour manufacturer, farmer and leading citizen, the Democratic nominee for Governor favors the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment, and his fine quali- fcations for chief executive of the State arc recognized by everybody. tssav s6saA 4f2 ft
 Homer T. Bone, Democratic nominee for Senator and Marion A. zioncheck, nominee for Congress are both excellent campaigners. The things that caused them to draw many votes in the Demo- cratic primary will contribute their e-getting in the general election.
