q Tie BRIDGE Forum -

To bid three after such a call requires at least
about six probable tricks when not vulnerable,
seven when vulnerable. Overcalling still higher
bids requires about one extra probable trisk
for each extra one that must be called.
Among the attacking oyercalls the most i'm
portant is the informatory double, which shows
at least three and a half high-card tricks and
which partner must not pass unless released
by an intervening bid, except to set the op-
posing bid. This denies q tWo-Suiter. Second
in Importance comes the Jump Overcall of one
moro than necessary which shows about three
high tricks and seven probab bles, either with
two biddabe suits rebddabfe one.
Partner must keep it open, even with only
about one high trick. Third is a no-trump
overcall, showing the same count as original
no trump of the same height, and also salts
factory Stoppage of the opponents suit.
A suit made in a situation where the next
opponents pass would close the contracting at
less than a game bid requires approximately
the strength of an original fourth hand bid.
Reopening it may enable the opponent to show
a second suit which his partners hand fits
admirably and may produce a game, especially
if the opponents are using one of the older
strcng; passing in this position with fair hands
exposes one of the greatest weaknesses of their
method, in which they frequently depend upon
the other side to h3lp them bid their games

A fine example of sacrifice bidding was given
on this hand by Mrs Elizabeth B. Banf7eld,
always ranked capable teacher, VIE
proved herself also great player by the wofk
that helped her team of four win the national
championship recently.
South had opened with one diamond when
her partner, George Unger, called spade in
the West. North bid three diamonds TO con-
ceal his big heart suit and she three spades.
South went to four diamonds, MIR. Unger four
spades. North to five diamonds, Mrs. Banfield
passed. South to six diamonds, and it was
passed around to her. Now, with a hand para
doxically not strong enough TO bid Ave spades
over five diamonds, she found 1t nevertheless
worthy Of a six-spade bad over six diamonds.
An important principle Of sacrifice bidding
was involved. In this case the sacrifice would
not necessarily have been justified when only
game was at stake, but was brilliantly wise
move when both game and the big vulnerable
slam premium threatened
Playing carefully she limited the defeat of
the contract to four tricks not vulnerable,
doubled. SO that the opponents got only 800
points instead Of the 1870 their slam would
have netted. Her bid was therefore worth TO

tennis courts. Even a municipal golf course
is likelihood though what will be used for

any demand for such. Also undoubtedly there
will be provision made for a theater, billiard

s-HE new declaration, all trump"
certainly adds some thrills to
the game of bridge, either auction
or contract. AS its inventor, we
hardly know Whether to claim the
credit or accept the blame, to boast
about it or apologize. OF the few people to
whom it has been introduced so far some are
delighted and, for the present at least, al
most refuse to play without it; some denounce
the inventor in scathing language, asking if
he is trying to ruin the game.
Whether all trump" VII ever take its place
alongside the no-trump and the four-sut
declarations as a part of the game can hardly
be predicted by any one both sane and con-
servative. That it beats "deuces wild" or
goulashe5 for surprising excitement is already
beyond question: and it is recommended to all
players who like to try cut novelties.
The new declaration as at present consti-
tuted, ranks equal with no trump, three odd
tricks being required for game, not doubled.
Each trick bid and made in contract counts
35 as in no trump. So, with this declaration
in the game there is a better scoring balance,
two minor suits worth 90 a trick, two majors
worth 80 and the nO-trump and all-trump
declarations worth 35 each.
It's operation is simple Whenever all play
ers follow suit, the highest card wins the trick
If player cannot follow suit, he can trump
with any card of any other suit, all other suits
being trump. If two or three players trump
with cards of different suits the highest
"trumping" card takes the trick; If of equal
value, the first high one.
Here is a typical example of the way the
new declaration works:

FARM PROBLEMS
TALKED OVER AT
CHAMBER MEET

Leaders in farm bureau activities
addressed members of the Ell Gen.
tro Chamber of Commerce at the
ton held yesterday and urged the
cooperation of the business men of
that. city in farm bureau affairs.
j. D. Dubois, president of the I'M
perial County Farm bureau, the
first speaker, told of the interde-
pendence of the various residents
of Imperial Valley on other resi-
dents, pointing out that the busi-
ness man needs the farmer and the
farmer needs the business man, and
expressed his appreciation of the
cooperation the business men have
always given the farmers and farm
bureau.
Scott B. Foulds, secretary of the
farm bureau, was the next speaker
He stated that the prosperity of
the valley is based on agriculture
and that the valley, with speciality
crops, is practicularly affected by
tariffs. Foulds told of the office
of the American Farm Bureau fed
Grafton in Washington, to which
the local farm bureau may turn at
any time and of the splendid work
that federation had done in obtain
ing tariffs which protected Imper-
ial Valley peas and tomatoes from
those grown in other countries.
E. T. Hewes, president of the Nc
Cabe farm center stated that the
agricultural standard must be made
equal to that of the industrial and
business standard He spoke of the
low prices of farm products and
high taxes and stated that if Am
erican agriculture had the purchas-
ing power of 1919 it would more
than make up the loss caused in
the United States by foreign coun-
tries. Hewes stated that agricul-
ture has held the battle line for
business and industry for 100 years
and today agriculture solicits the
support of those two while it be-
comes reestablished and, he stated,
financiers agree that we cannot
have any stability until the pur
chasing power of the farmer is
equal to that of the man engaged
in industry or business. Following
Hewes, Sam E. Robinson, Imper-
ial county member of the state
assembly, spoke briefly.

ways by the employment of 38-
scatter airplanes on the Continental
service
Dreaded by many to a greater
extent than sea- sickness, this NAL
ady has been responsible, it is be-
lieved, for the reluctance of many
to take to the air. Those who have
suffered from both sea- sickness
and air-sickness declare that the
latter is by far the more terrible
experience.
Since the biplane liners have
been used on the Imperial airwayS
London-Paris route, the number of
meals served in the machines while
crossing the English channel has
increased by nearly 100 per cent.
AS with surface liners, so with
airplanes; the bigger the ship, the
smaller the risk of sickness. The
saloons in the new four-engined
planes are as large and as sump-
tuouSly equipped as those of mod
ern rilWay cars. At the front end
of the fuSelage is a sitting-room
salon, while at the rear is a large
smoking salon. These are separated
by bar and kitchen, from which
drinks, luncheons and sandwiches
are served by two uniformed
stewards.
Passengers now regard an air
journey as a normal means of
travel and embark upon it just as
on any similar trip by surface
transport. So smooth and silent
are the big machines that people
can eat, drink, talk or play cards
while speeding through the air
at 100 miles an hour.

LARGE LIQUOR
CACHE LOCATED
NEAR BRAWLEY

Deserted and lonesome. the old
house stood in the center of a
large field a mile and a half north
east of Alamorio, with several
pieces of old, cracking, dried bread
the only signs of any human in
habitants.
Tracks of cattle about the doors
carried out the impression of de-
sertion.
Suspiciously, the deputy sheriffs
advanced yesterday afternoon.
George Evans motioned Jack
Carter and Tom Adams to deplay.
then the three rushed the old dairy
house. At any moment an Irish
banShee might have poked an in
quiSitive head around a corner.
The place might have been
haunted, but this never dawned on
the officers until they were in the
house. Then they needed no words
to tell them the place was prac-
tically full of spirits.
But, like the genii in the Arabian
Nights, these spirits were in bot
ties. They far out-numbered the
evil spirits of old Arabia, for there
were 600 of the bottles, and each
contained its proportionate share
of spirits.
Pondering how so much beer
could have been cached in AN
abandoned house, Evans and his
assisting officers took up the task
of releasing the spirits by the SIM
pie process of breaking the bottles
and allowing the beer to permeatc
the yard.
After all 600 quarts had been de-
stroyed, the officers sat down to
wait, but it was hopeless wait,
for no owner ever showed up to
claim the pieces of broken glass
and term in the county jail So
the raiding party went home.
