Tine Bidding

South has what is called a Ca vendish distribution - q distribu- tion of four-three-three-thrce. He has also the necessary high card tricks to. make an opening bid. Some players will bid q no trump with south's hand, but the better bid is one heart --- don't bid no trump when holding a biddable suit. West. holding three and one half tricks and good support in the other, major, doubles one heart bid coming and as his side was not vul- nerable, he jumped the contract to four hearts. East, with his trick less hand, was glad to be shut out.
 If North had passed Vests double of one heart, which was an informatory double. East would have been forced to bid one spade.
 South passed the four heart contract and now West, holding three aces and queen. should not double as he is not sure or defeating the deciarer's contract two tricks. Don't double for can defeat the declarers contract two tricks one, trick may go wrong and you should have a
 
 Tine Play
 West has the opening lead and he hesitates to lead away from his ace and queen of clubs. and therefore the ace of spades Is q good opening. The singleton king is played from dummy and East plays the deuce. Of course the spade suit cannot now be contin- ued.
 From the bidding. South Is marked with the ace of diamonds and possibly the king of clubs. The only chance of defeating the contract is to find that if his part ner does not hold the king. of clubs. at least he does not hold more than two, clubs. Therefore. the ace' of clubs should be the next lead. East might just as well play his jack. asking West to continue with the club suit.
 The queen of clubs would then be won by South with the king. South would play his queen Of spades. and discard a club from dummy. but now when he plays be played by West, which would his king of hearts, West should go right in with the ace and i'm. mediateiy return q club. It would be trumped in dummy with the 6ght of hearts. but East could oyertrump with the ten of hearts
 That would he the setting trick as East and West have taken the ace Of spades, the ace of hearts and the ace of clubs and now have overtrumped for their fourth trick,

these people. They aren't part of my regular crowd" But so far as big money was concerned in 1880 tho saturation point had been reached. "The Bird" continued to be played in stock. and even has been played by stock companies this year. But the days when n road company could be certain of thirty weeks booking with "The Bird" had passed. The road was dead to just about every kind of Legitimate" production.
 At this point. with his earnings consumed by litigation. 1t was no bright outlook for a man past 50 years old. He had worked as a theater usher at the age of thir- teen, struggled through freshman and sophomore years at the Uni- yersity of California with little money, worked with the late David BelascO to acquire the tchnique of playwrighing and production, and then, at the age of thirty-threes saw the play he had been planning since college days turn out to bel an international hit, ana now had nothing to show for 1t.
 Turn of the Tide
 Well, there was," MT Fully said recently. with nothing but debts. Even when I did make some money here and there, was soI deeply in debt that 1t was a case of endorsing the checks and turning them over to my creditors"
 But the motion picture--that very medium which had helped to terminate the towns of Bird of Paradise" and most other legiti- mate productions-also has come to the help of MT Fully, who is now ffty-five years old, to get back on his feet financially. The cinema--or, to be specific, RKO-| Radio--purchased the talking pic-l ture rights to "The Bird," and things look differently for .Mr| Tully's masterpiece. The screen| version of "Bird of Paradise" wilI| reach its vast waiting audiencea at once.

What Variety called lone of the longest and bitterest court battles in the history of the stage" was ended March 26. 1930, when the New York court of appeals upheld Richard Walton Tuily's claim to authorship of Bird of Paradise" But if Richard Walton Fully had handed over $600.000 to Mrs Grace A. Fender, author of "In Hawaii" the day she first brought her famous plagiarism suit. he could no more completely have wiped out his fortune; for his victroy found him with every cent of his fortune spent either directly in fighting the suit, or in settling outside obligations which were pressed because creditors, as Mir Fully said, "wanted to get 1t while he still had it.
 The long campaign in defense of "rhe Bird" as the author calls 1t, was enough to have shaken the courage of MT Fully and his CO., defendant, Oliver Morosco. who first produced the play in New York in 1911.
 However, in the end Mir Tully found himself fully vindicated in the verdict of the appellate court that mo material part of plain tiff's literary property has been appropriated. Neither in substance nor in establishment is there any resemblance between the two plays. Details must be viewed in the setting: then resemblance vanish The judgment should be reversed (Mrs Fender had won in the lower courts) and the com- plaint dismissed, with costs in all courts" Now MT Tully's title to Bird of Paradise" was clear and he was broke.
 Forever Timely
 By that time "The Bird," despite its being an undated" play in that its story was and is now as timely as when first produced, no longer appeared in road shown. For fourteen years Bird of Para disc" was in no manner less fa- miliar to out of town theatergoera than Uncle Toms Cabin" It played all over the country down to the smallest theaters. but to the largest audiences. Of these audiences. theatcr managers have said to MT Tully: T don't know

Altogether too often we hear the beginner at contract remark They say you should never do this and never do that" Strike the word never" from your bridge vocabulary. While 1t generally pays to adhere to establish theo- ries, there are times when you must deviate. You have heard players make the remark: Never lead away from an ace queen" In the following hand the only way you can defeat the declarer Is to lead your ace queen suit.

The daily announcement OF bank 1all-

only other depoSitors, but other panK-
ers. Each new failure tied up, not only
the depo5lts of the failed bank, out
forced other bankers to protect tnem-
selves against possible runs by demand
ing payment of loans and by refusing
to extend new credits. Thus by the
spread Of fear, credit was Withdrawn
from business. Consumption declined
and production was reduced. In turn,
railroad tonnage fell off and the value
OF their securities dropped. This addeo

such institutions render vital service

cost you little or nothing. But you
wouldn't have it, even as a gift. You
wouldn't have it because it has no

necessary to a civilized standard of
living in an organized society. If we
permit our banks to fail. credit will
