Responding to Two-Suit Bids

II your partner has shown two
suits in the natural manner, bidding
the higher valued suit first and the
lower on a second round, your
course Is simply TO choose the dec
laration to which your hand is best
fitted. A two-suiter may be raised
very strongly II you hold length In
one of your partners suits and
singleton or void In the other.
Even though you may not have a
legitimate raise for either of your
partners suits, there is a certain
technique in two suit bidding which
it is important TO understand.
Whenever your partner bids a suit
and subsequently names a second,
unless there is a bid from the in
tervening opponent you must take
your partner back to his first dec
laration If it better fits your hand.
When your partner opens with
a lower ranking suit, and later bids
a higher ranking suit, it shows that
the latter is a four-carder, so IL the
next player passes, you should, with
equal length in both, take your
partner back to his first declara-
ton even at the expense of increas-
ing the contract. To illustrate, you
hold S-J83 H-K 1885 DOGS C-S5
4. when your partner has opened
with one club and has later bid
two spades. You should return to
the club bid unless an opponent re-
lieves you of the responsibility by
intervening.
Whenever the intervening op-
ponent takes your partner out, bid
from you In either of your part
ner's suits shows more than a pref
erence, it announces a legitimate
raise with some assisting tricks and
trump support of normal caliber.

Modern Contract
BFI0SG BY Leila HsttersIeY
Bidding a Two-Suiter

4 STRONG two-suiter which finds
partner with assistance in
either suit is a tremendously pow
erful hand because Of its high dis
tributional value. When holding two
strong suits, make every effort to
find which partner can best assist,
and TO play the contract at that
declaration. Always, If possible,
show both suits, and give partner
the opportunity to indicate his pref
erence.
When choosing between two five
card biddable suits, or one six-card
and one five-card biddable suit, the
higher ranking should be mentioned
first, irrespective of superior homer
strength in the second suit or of
the relative length Of the suits. For
example. with the following hand,
SA 1OS63 KJ1O5 D4 3 CO,
the opening bid should be one spade.
Or with S-S H-J D-AJ432 CA Q
J S52, the correct opening is one
diamond.
The reverse method Of bidding
two suits, that is of naming the
lower ranking suit before the high
er, Is reserved for one particular
type Of holding known as semi
two-suiter. When two biddable suits
are distributed ga or Ga, the ini
tial bid should always be in the
longer suit, whether 1t is QIinor or
major, and even though the long
er suit is weaker in honOrs. For
example, holding: S-A X j 8 HIS 9
65 3 D-J 1913 C-3, your original bid
should be one heart; then if later
round of the bidding gives you an
opportunity to show the spades,
your partner will know without
question that the latter suit Is a
four-carder. When one OF your
suits Is Of six or seven card length,
and your second suit contains only
four cards, the longer suit should,
almost invariably, be rebid once be-
fore the four-card suit Is shown.
The definite rules which In the
forcing system control the bidding
Of two-suiters and semi two-suiters
enable partners to give and re-
ceive amazingly exact information
concerning the distribution as well
as the strength OF their hands.

Don zelaya is a WaShingtonian

vaudeville and the entertainer in

He could. of course, make living
in the more dignified field of con.
cert and recital. But steady
vaudeville work is much more re-

much more stimulating to the
artist. He has a larger, if not as

occasions. She was as dumb as
they come. but she was plenty
beautiful and she did know
how to cry.
On the morning of the trial,
old Ned stood with her just
inside the courtroom and gave
her his final instructions.
Daisy Is Instructed
You know exactly how
you're to act, Daisy" he told
her, "and If you feel one of
your dumb spells coming on,
just shut your mouth and say
nothing. That's Hardhead sit,
ting over there. Be sure you
sigh whenever you look at him
and be positive you sit in such
a position that the jurors can
get a peep at your legs. ESpe-
cially the older ones.
You understand the big part
of your act. AS soon as Hard
head says he doesn't know you,
hit it hard and heavy. You
swoon prettily and as you come
to, you scream oh. how can
you lie that way? I gave you
my all-and you have broken
my heart That's clear, isn't
it?"
Daisy nodded.
Sure" she replied vaguely.
Il understand everything"
The broken-hearted lady
walked to her chair. She rather
enjoyed the impression she was
creating. Tears glistened in her
eyes as she talked to the re-
porters. The judge came in.
The case was called.
The minutes licked away.
Thus far, it was all routine.
Her eyes closed. She drowsed.
1t was all very dull to Daisy.
Suddenly. as if in a dream. she
heard the defense counsel talk
ing.
Did you ever see or do you
in any way know Miss Daisy
Smith?"
She heard a defiant voice
saying 10. She sat erect. That
was her cue. She uttered a low
moan, slipped from hel chair,
shook her head. and screamed:
"Oh, how can you lie that
way? I gave you my all-and
you have broken my heart!"
The reaction was strange.
The Colleen mob hurried for the
door. The courtroom went into
a hysterical uproar.
For dumb Daisy had made a
slight mistake in her identifi-
cation. The man she was &C
cusing was not the sucker-but
one of the jurors!

Fox Goes Ahead

ChapIins

With Charlie Chaplin's expected
protest still unvoiced, the Fox
company is going right on with
preparations for the picture that
will feature the comedians two
sons and possibly their mother
as we'll.
After okaying the story that
Frank Craven wrote in two days
Winfield Sheehan has assigned
Ell Brendel to portray one of the
leading roles in the picture. II
will be ELS first assignment since
his return from that personal ap
pearance tour.
According to present plans, the
film will start some time ir
August with Dave Butler direc
ting. The Chaplin youngsters are
expected here some time this
week.
Speculations are rife as to
Charles possible line of attack
in case he invokes the law
to stop the film. If he could
prove that picture work inter,
fered with the education of his
sons or endangered their health,
the courts probably would inter
vene.
Consensus CT opinion is that
the comedian will not take any
action now until the picture
actually is ready to go into pro,
duction.
It's a chuckly story AL Jolson
tells of the two exhibitors who
were inspecting a new theater.
On reaching the foyer. one of
them stopped and wagged his
head. "Vot We need here" he
exclaimed, 'is a beautiful chan
delier!"
His partner shrugged.

short time longer-and 1 am
positive that 1 will arrive at
some conclusion
In due time Ned had his
solution. Without explaining
the why's and wherefores he
sent for the best forger in
town who wasn't doing a bit
at the moment. He secured
Spe ecimenS of Mr.. Hardhead's'
handwriting and instructed
the lorCer to write an affec-
ton; letter every two or
three days to a Miss Daisy
Smith.
You see the plan now, of
course. Mr.. Hardhead was
going to be taken over via
the old breach-of-promise
racket. With a dozen of the
phoney letters having gone
through the mails and resting
comfortably in old Ned's
pocket. things began to de-
velop. The sucker was noti-
fled that he had broken the
heart of poor, little Daisy
Smith-and he was served
with papers in a lawsuit that
called for $25O,OOO.
Hardhead HowIs
Hardhead went to his attor-
neyS and hoWled to the high
heavens. He didn't know what
this was all about. He had
never known any such woman.
He was victim of a dire con-
spiracy. His lawyers told him
to quiet down and assured him
that there was nothing at all
to the case He would have to
be subjected to the annoyance
of a court action-but that
was all
AS it turned out, they were
a trifle optimistic. Rest as
sured that Ned Golden had not
gone into the game without
preparing plenty of angles. The
sucker had been trailed for
weeks. His every movement
was known and you. can be
very certain that, during every
moment he had been alone
with no proof of his actions,
the court was going to hear
that he had spent his time with
Daisy.
There was a phoney hotel
register that proved the couple
had been registered as man and
wife-and bribed clerk and
bellhop to testify that Daisy
and Hardhead had been to
gether. More. for every expert

Prepare a Victim
If a man had position and
wealth and headed a family, he
was a practical certainty to go
via the old badger game. That
type of man had to pay off in
order to protect his wife and
family.
If the sucker was wise guy
who wanted to double his
money in a hurry, they'd build
him the prettiest of money
machines. If he liked the
stock market, they'd give him
more tips than the makers of
canned asparagus. If-but why
go along on these lines? AS
long as the racket was phony,
the Golden outfit was SUI
preme.
1t wasn't so long ago, how
ever, that the boys ran into
something of a puzzle. The
puzzle was William Hardhead,
to give a name of some kind
and William was a tough
nut to crack. One of the boys
had lined him up as a poten-
tial sucker, and he was a
most excellent prospect indeed.
He had loads of dough that
was waiting to be taken. But
how to get it was something
of a mystery even to old Ned,
the master mind.
Mr.. Hardhead didn't gamble.
More, he didn't go for strange
acquaintances. Still more. he
never went around with
women.
Several of the boys sat
around in Golden's office one
afternoon and discussed the
matter rather mournfully.
Il hate to see us pass up
this '~d," observed one of
them, "but I don't see what
else we can do. How are we
gonna take a guy who never
