opposite a minimum. or it might mean two power-house hands.
 The left hand opponent of the player who has made the one over one forcing bid is afraid to step In with a fair hand for fear that he will be between these two power- house hands. It is not until the second round of bidding that he knows whether or not the two hands are minimum, and 1t is gen. orally too late for him to bid as his partner will naturally take his bid after a pass as a very weak bid.
 5. Doubtful slams will not be bid due to the fact that the full strength of the hand can be shown before the bidding gets too high. A jump shift bid may even be made on the second round and still not force the contract into the slam zone.
 However, I want to warn the be- ginner at contract bridge not to jump to the conclusion that there is game in the hand simply be- cause partner has made a one over one forcing bid. This forcing bid
 simply asks the original bidder tc give more detailed information
 about the hand, and minimum
 hands should make a sign-off bid
 at once.

CONTRACT

= EXPEQTS PLAY IT

Editors Note: This Is the tenth of Q series of articles by William E. McKcnney describing the One over One system of bid-
 ding at contract bridge.
 BY VIM E. MCKINNEY
 Secretary, American Bridge League
 The advantages of the one over one forcing bid are many. the most important of which are:
 l. It can be made, even though holding normal support in the orig to fill a missing suit for the orig inal bidder in case he desires to play the hand at no trump.
 The original bidders suit can be supported on the next round of bid- ding. Let us say that the original bid is one heart; partner bids one spade, even though he holds sup- port for hearts. The original bid der now bids one no trump, deny ing spade support, showing aNmini- mum hand and not a strong heart suit. -t
 Partner can now support the heart suit if desired, even to mak- ing a sign-off bid by simply bid-, ding two hearts. This shows a willingness to playthe hand at hearts even with the knowledge that the original bidders suit is only four cards in length.
 2. It allows you to arrive at larger partial scores.
 3. It quickly and safely gets you into successful mo trum con-

An Ended Chapter.
Boston News Bureau.)


 Out of the tumult and the shouting at Chicago one great fact stands forth-retenton of the Eigh- teenth Amendment just it was is completely who announced their intention of awaiting word from the Democrats before making up their minds and program have had that word in deaf lenng roar-934 to 213
 That outcome amazing to the proponents of lrepeal themselves at the convention leaves pos sble party asylum for those who insist no change risk of change The Democrats are simply very much "wetter" than the other camp Their call is for straight repeal plus a precedent modification. The Republicans urge plebiscite by States with shadowy sort of Federal power" of icontrol in the background.
 It may possibly develop that just was the sentimental of expression the subject, and the question of best way to handle the liquor problem may lose some of its emphasis, compared with economic issues, before the campaign is ended l or is at it's height. But at the moment the swing of the current is impressive. The one fairly clear and interesting surmse at present would seem to be the extent of possible losses this score among Northern Republicans who like the definite Democratic position far more,-to the exclusion of everything else. That might far outweigh any total of Southern Democrats conversely turned away. Just the accent seems politically to be on the word immediate" far change is con- cerned. Theoretically that is true enough; but practically there might to be fairly long and tortuous road ahead before concrete change i is had. The nearest prospect would seem to be that of the Congressional contests in November. | A wet" victory then with anything like the impetus of what has just happened in the two conventions would the assured beginning of the chapter.

THAT ALASKA PLANK.

In its account of the proceedings at the Demo- cratic Convention in Chicago the Associated Press said certain proposed blanks including pedging home rule to Alaska and Hawaii, were thrown out the window An out of town contemporary took this literally and said they thrown out of a nearby window" by Chairman Walsh Of course that didn't happen The convention declined to adopt the Territorial plank along with several others that were obviously local or sectional in nature In its desire for brevity and clarity in its platform which is said to be the shortest record in modern times, the Democratic Convention limited its scope to em- brace only issues that are nationwide It sought to be brief so that people wouldn't dread reading it and to have it sufficiently explicit that those who do read it will have difficulty in under standing the party's position on each question
 As to the Alaska plank for home rule and en- couragement in the development of resources there was hostility to it. In former conven- tion years the party did not seek to limit the platform makers as to either space to national issues and on such occasions Alaska pledged all of the power of self-government that other American Territories before it have had The party naturally still stands upon that proposition until
 it formally itself Alaskans of course would have appreciated the inclusion of a similar plank
 in the present platform but the failure to do SC
 does alter the situation in the slightest and in
 case of national victory, the Territory will be given
 the power of controlling its affairs that was
 promised at San Francisco, New York and Houston
 in 1920, 1924 and 1928

CHAPTER B. ON THE BEACH

Beneath the washstand in the far corner was steel and silver table knife, it's edge still gleamz ing redly in the light. A few inches away lay wrinkled table napkin, it's corner and one edge drenched with blood
 Stevens stood at the edge of the washstand, looking down at the exhibits, studying knife and napkin intently. He lifted the latter very gingerly, holding it by the edge with his thumb and forefinger He carried it beneath the light and studied it, inch by inch. Then, with depressed sigh, he handed it to Jerry.
 No use looking for finger prints without a microscope, he said re- gretfully. Might as well pick up the knife, too. The bird that did Williams in stole the knife and the napkin at dinner time, wrap ped the handle of the knife in the napkin, so as not to leave any prints. Better take care of them kid, and we'll look them over in the morning. But I don't believe we'll find anything"

There was shuddering gasp from one of the listening men, but all stood there, gazing at Ash wood as though hynooized. He sur veyed each of them in turn, in the order of their nearness to the door leading into the scene of the tragedy
 Then. amid the deathly silence that hung over the strange tab leau. the sound of running feet was heard. Something about the hastening footsteps caused a chill to run through the listeners. It seemed to come to all, simultan- eously. that the rapidly approach ing man was bringing news that would add to the horror of the night. :. Ashwood, his face stony, waited, One of the guards, painting, raced tdoVn the corridor. Seeing the Strange group, he hesitated, his eyes darting from one white face to another. Then he blurted out the news.
 Boss, Di Michaels been crooked. Throat cut. His gat and all his ammunition's gone"
 Ashwood again scanned the face of each man, who stood there in the hall. He studied each expres- sion searchingly, lingeringly, as though he might read the guilt or innocence of each in the breath less silence which had enveloped them all like a fog. At length his face showing no shade of emo- tion. he stepped forward. WIN you gentlemen kindly gC to your rooms and remain there| His tone was more a suggestion than a command.

Just investigators.
(New York Herald Tribune) )


 One may say what he wishes, and MT Andrew McCampbsll, local Prohibition Administrator is saying it. but there is something extremely sgnifi- cant about the decision in Washington to alter the official designation of Prohibition enforcement agents Colonel Amos w w Woodcock has issued order to the various district headquarters of his organiza ton that henceforth their field personnel shall be known not as Prohibition agents but De partment of Justice investigators" As a concession Ito popular sentiment could euphemism go farther?
 Or is it attempt to square nomenclature with the facts? After all to call officer of govern lment an agent of Prohibition when in reality there lis no Prohibition has its endorsements. Here lin New York for instance. such title has an almost ,rbad sound and, indeed has long since been aban- ldoned in common speech. Ask a speakeasy pro- tprietor who raided his place yesterday and forced him to close for twenty minutes move next door land nine times out of ten he will say Federal men Tor simply the Federals." Occationally he will call them revenooers but very rarely Prohibition agents IA certain delcacy regard for truth restraints him from imputing to them function which they have lnever been able to fulfill.
 Colonel Woodcock believes MT, John D. Rocke- Heller Jr is in in calling Prohibition failure His arguments in refutation of MT. Rockefeller lwre spread on the record the same day that This order redesgnating his field agents was made public It seems to that his act speaks louder than his logic.

 You may suit yourself about sitting up he acknowledged in- differently, but if you do, it will be in the safety and the seclusion of your own room. If anyone dis turbs you may shout for assis- tance. Mueller with stand watch here in the hall"
 There was an instant's silence. Jerry tensed his muscles in antici- patton of a sudden clash. Lucci glanced at Mallory who, now cold sober, returned the look meaning ly The flyer was amazed to note that for the moment. at least, these two were allies, and enemies. He saw Mallory's heavy form ga- ther itself for a spring. Lucci, too, stood on the balls of his feet with his hands opening and shut | ting

The outside guard moved close to the gangster, pat ting him deftly sn search for |, weapon The gangster's malevolent eyes glanced at the armed men then he relaxed and submitted docilely to the search. Mallory too was swiftly examined. Jerry could see the beads of perspiration upon the turbulent stockholders brow as, by sheer force of will, the man gained control of himself
