INDIAN BRAVES LEARNED ABOUT
 DIVORCE COSTS
Missionaries Gave Them New Slant on Married
 Bliss

Great Falls, Mont. (UP)-Mod- ern divorce laws in some of the states appear to be very liberal. but in reality they are quite strin- gent when compared to customs of Indian tribes in the early days.
 Before the coming of the jesuit priests. an Indian buck who de- sired to discard his spouse merely went to a dance and while the members of their tribe were sit- ling around a camp fire, threw a crooked stick into the air.
 Stick in Air
 Another Indian who had the same desire would also throw a stick into the air. That constituted a trade and the men exchanged wives. ..
 That system worked very well until. the coming of the 'black robes" who. told the tribesmen that if they desired to enter the Kingdom of Heaven the white mans way they could not discard their wives at will. But If they de- sired to enter a much hotter cline after death they should continue 10 8xcNd0Ee Witcss
 \, Indians Pleased
 The Indians were very perpiexed by this state of affairs, but a short time later the Baptist missionaries appeared, who told the Indians if they would join the Baptist church a--take Q bath-they could get e divorce according tc the white mans law and still be eligible to sit among the righteous after
 The Indians were delighted with this Arrangement and deserted the Jesuits by the score to place thelr spiritual lives under the guidance of the Baptists.

The Bidding

The Bidding
 South, the dealer, has the re- quired strength, two and one- half tricks and a biddablc suit, for an opening bid, and started the contracting with one heart.
 West passed and North bid a spade.
 % This is an interesting bid. To those who do not understand the one over one system, remember that a one bid overcalling a one bid, as in this case one heart, one spade, is a one over one force and requires partner to bid again.
 However. it does not promise Q game. :.
 As long as a bid is forcing, it may be made even with normal support in partners suit, and even with normal support at times it is better to play the hand at no trump.
 By bidding the spade. North helped to build one of the walls for a safe no trump contract, at the same time leaving an opening to go back to hearts. East passed. and now South, with a minimum hand, signed off by bidding two hearts, saying, Partner, I don't think the hand will play at no trump.
 T do not have normal support in spades, but do have a five card heart suit" (four-card suits are seldom rebid).
 West passed and North jumped the contract to four hearts.
 The Play
 West had several good open ings - spades have been bid py North and denied by South. He had a singleton and three trumps. While the opening of 2 singleton may establish the opponents suit at times. 1t Is the only lead that will stop game.
 In this case West opened the four of spades. Looking at the hand, it is easy to see that the finesse should not be- taken. but playing tbe hand closed many players would make the mistake of playing a small. spade from dummy, East would win with the Ring. return a spade which East would ruff, and then two club tricks would be. cashed which would defeat South's contract.
 The deciarer could see losing diamond, two losing clubs and q losing spade. X, However, q long spade may he established for a discard of either a club or a dia- mond. therefore. the declaref should not take the finesse. but should go right up with the ace Iof spades, pick up the trump and then lead the jack, of spades. Now. regardless of what East land West played, all they could do was te cash their two good clubs. south's losing diamond would be discarded on the good spade in dummy.
 Don't take Q gambling finesse when there 6 a safer, play to make game.

again. nothing has happened, II ap-
pears that he has yielded to the pro-
tests of his officers and remains with
his army.
His army is not negligible. 1t consists
Of At least 100000 men, saivaged from
the ManChurian debaCle, and is now
stationed through Hopeh Province. the
old metropolitan province OF ChlnH,
centered on Peiping and its c0mmunl-
eating railroads. 1t is the b2st-tound
army in China, although its fighting
record IS blank.
1t is entirely loyal to the Young
Narshals person. and his Junior officers
say openly that if he deserted them
they would have no recourse but TO turn
to banditry Nobody wants such trou-
bles in the tranquil country ground
Peiping. and as long as the Young
Marshal has his army the country Will
probably remain tranquil.
But what influence he had on these
events to bring them about or to shape
them is not clear. Nor is 1t clear how
his removal would clarity a situation
already sufficiently obscure As to
where he could go if he left here-1
