How many times have you made
a grand Slam-and not bid it?
Isn't it a disappointment not to be
able to count those extra points?
Knowing the correct bids for all
bridge hands will enable you to
get the benefit of every point there
is to be made. And The Times
now offers a really unique device
which will enable the beginner to
make the correct bid on any hand.
This device is known as the
Shur-Win Bridge Bidder and is
based on the much-played Culbert-
son system. When the honor
tricks of any hand are counted.
the dial Of the bidder is set and
presto! there Is the correct bid.
It is amazingly simple and uncan-
nily accurate and a tremendous
aid to the novice or the casual
player.
The bidder is on sale at The
Times office, 1917 H st. N. W., for
so cents or SIS cents if ordered
mailed.
In an effort to be of further
service to its readers The Times
has made arrangements whereby
every person who buys one OF
these bidders will be given a free

of the beSt-known teachers in the
city, Lucille Claire Smith. These
free lessons are held at the VII
lard Hotel. The next one is at

Tickets of admittance are given
