Pi Omicron Group Holds Regular
 Monthly Meeting
Fashion Show and
 Bridge Planned

The regular meeting of the Pi Omicron sorority was held last evening, November 2, at the Hotel Elton. MT Stoddard led the discus- sion during the period allotted to the study and literature.
 The first assignment was dis cussion of one act of the heroic comedy "Cyrano de Bergerac. by Edmond Rostand. Sarah Bernhart has appeared in this play in the role of Roxane, and Richard Mansfield and Walter Hampden as Cyrano.
 'The Complete Angler" by Izaak Walton was considered to have been one of the first authen- tic guides on fishing. It contains a great deal of philosophy, as well as practical advice.
 Mir Stoddard also commented briefly on James Hogg's poem "A Boys Song", '"The Barefoot Boy" by John Greenleaf Whittier, an article by Henry Seidel Candy on Thomas Hardy, the novelist and poet.
 He spoke at length on the works of Bret Harte, who was one of the leading opponents in America of stories in which the characteristics of the locality are foremost, rather than plot and characterss "The Outcasts of Poker Flat" was dis cussed as an example.
 For the book review, MT Stod- dard commented on and read sev- eral selections from volume of Connecticut poets, in which sever- al of his own publications appear.
 Mir Stoddard concluded his per- iod with some interesting com ments and phophecies on the pres- ent political campaign.
 A business meeting followed, at which Mrs Virginia White, presi- dent, presided. Final arrangements for the fashion show and bridge to be given Friday evening were made, and reports given by the various committees on the progress made.
 About 35 members were present.
 The following models have been selected for the fashion show on Friday evening at o'clock: Misses Esther Hauser, Calista Palmer. Virginia White, Alice Fox, Mrs Elizabeth Meuten Finn, all mem- bers of the sorority. Miss Margery White, Boston representative of Pi Omicron saririty and Misses Doro- thy Kelsey and Jean Warner. Ex- tensive plans have been made by the committee in charge who plan to make ehaffair the most suc- cessful to be held by local clubs. Bridge will be enjoyed during the course of the evening although the balcony of the auditorium will be opened to guests who do not wish to participate in the card playing.

Partner should bid three no trump on hand containing about | two quick tricks. This is not a slam try bid. It simply informs the original bidder that partner
 feels that there is game in the hand.
 A jump bid to four no trump would be a slam invitation, but is seldom made as most players pre- fer to force with a suit. He should bid three of a suit when the hand contains a strong five or six-card suit and two to three quick tricks on the side.
 This is a game demand bid, re- quiring the original bidder to con-
 tinue the bidding until game is
 reached, and is also used as a
 slam try bid. Because the hand contains a | five-card suit and two quick tricks on the side, that does not always mean that jump bid in the suit should be made. Often it is bet
 ter to conceal this strong suit and jump the bid to no trump. An original bid of two no trump indicates very strong hand with all four suits stopped against an original opening lead, and further shows a good workable five-card
 suit headed by at least the A K J preferably A K 0.
 At no time should an original
 bid of two no trump be made | when the hand does not contain either a strong five or a six-card
 suit. It is forcing bid. Partner is forced to respond. A bid of three of a suit shows simply weak suit.
 With no five-card suit and less than two and half quick tricks.
 the proper response is three no | trump. With a hand containing five-
 card suit headed by K Q and a side ace or king, partners proper l response should be four no trump
 and not the suit.
 Remember that the original
 bidder has told you that he holds
 a strong five-card suit with every
 suit stopped. It is unnecessary for partner to disclose his five-card suit. It is better to play the hand | for 8 slam at no trump-then, if | either suit breaks. the slam will
 undoubtedly be made, while if
 played at suit declaration, the suit named as trump would have to break in order to make slam.
 The bid of four no trump invites ] a slam.

By VIM. E. MCKINNEY Sccretary, American Bridge League
 II can readily be seen, when us- ingt the modern original one no frutnp bid, as employed in the one over one system, that a part ner holding two quick tricks has i've choices if an opponent steps In with suit overcall.
 l. He may make a. penalty double, knowing quite well that tho contract will be defeated.
 2. He may go oon and bid for game.
 There are several responses that partner can make to an original bid of one no trump when the opponent does not make, suit pvercall.
 He should bid two of a suit when bidding a five-card suit headed by a queen and side queen. This is b Sign-off bid and should be a waning to the original bidder. ad- vising him that partner does not befeve there is game in the hand ana that the hand will play better 1t 1artner's suit than at no trump.
 If the original bidder goes on 10 two no trump and partners hand contains six cards of suit headed by the jack, and 8 side queen. the suit should be- re-bid. This is an absolute sign-off to orig final bidder asking him not to re- bidy regardless of the strength of highland.
 He should bid two no trump in support of original bidders one no strump when his hand contains as elitt1e as an ace or king in one suit and a queen in another suit, and no biddable suit.
 While this bid advises the orig 1naI bidder that partners hand contains about one trick or better, it also advises him that partner ho1ds no fve-card suit with which to work. In other words, it ad- vises him that most of the tricks viii have to be taken with high caEds.
 Remember that the original bidders bid of one no trump stated that his hand did not have . nve-card suit with which to work. However, it Is seldom that the original bidder of one no trump, when supported to two no trump by partner, should pass. An advantageous opening, an end play, or & favorable break may all pro- duee an extra trick needed for game.

 There is room for argument, however. on the occasional prac- tice of remarking a film almost in it's entirety because of the poor quality of the original version. Granted that it is bad business to release a poor film, remaking 1t practically doubles it's cost and there is very little. chance of the studio being able to show any profit on such production. Further more, the use of normal intelli- gence in the beginning would elim. mate any necessity for a remake.

ARE YOU A THOROBRED!

The weakest thing in America to-
day, remarks shrewd observer, is
not the stock market, is not wheat
is not cotton. is not sugar, is not
copper, is not rubber; the weakest
thing in America today is our state
of mind and the observer goes on to
say that the biggest fortunes in
America were founded during times
of panic. Rockefeller got his great
start in standard oil at such a time.
Andrew Carnegie's early partners
forsook him one by one when the
steel industry became acutely I'M
profitable, but little Andy did not
run away. Henry Clay Frick as a
young man away back in '73 Dor
rowed money right and left and
bought square miles of coke lands
when everybody wanted to sell and
in few years his profits exceeded
Il million dollars Il year.
1t has been said that the difference
between the thoroughbred horse and
the scrub is that the scrub goes UNI
til it cannot go another mile,
whereas the thoroughbred goes until
it cannot go another mile-then goes
that other mile.
The thoroughbreds among men in
the business world are the ones who
will come out of the business recess
sion of the past two years tsronger
and richer than ever-because they
have kept on going when others have
stopped.

Dear Charlie:

Dear Charlie:
Here are some facts about Citi
zens' Military Camps that l receiv
ed the other day which l think vol
might pass around to people who
are interested:
1.-The Government pays youl
way to camp and back to your home
and during you thirty days at the
camp, furnishes you FREE, the best
of food, uniform, bedding, laundry
and medical treatment. In other
words, you are under no expense
from the moment you leave home
until you return thereto.
2-The President of the United
States, the Secretary Of War, and
forty-two Governors have sent sons
to these camps. The Federation of
Women's Clubs have endorsed them I;

nal Hayes of New York, The Right
Rev. VIM. II. Manning, Bishop of

these summer camps. The Rev.
Charles S. MacFarland, General
Secretary, Federal Council of
Churches of Christ in America, in
spected Plattsburg and other camps
during the summer of 1926, and in
his official report of inspection he
states: 81 am quite convinced that
these camps have a wholesome in
fluence on the boys who attend them
that their effect in intoxicating dis
cipline is good, that any 'militariz-
ing influence on the boys is practi-
cally negligible"
About $500 young men can be ac-
commodated this summer in the
Second Corps Area. 1t is a case of
first come first served so people

LETTING TIMBER GROW

Let the timber grow, is the advice
of the United States Forest Service
to owners of farm woodlands who
can not find a market in advance of
cutting. Thinning dense stands of
young timber, cutting needed fuel
and timber for home use is entirely
practical. And where markets are
to be had for fuel wood. posts, or
timber the woodland will help pay
some of the farm bills. But there is
los sof both material and labor if
trees are cut and the wood remains
unsold until it begins to decay
The best place to keep sound tim
Der is in the living tree, says the
Forest Service. The tree keeps on
growing into more and better timber
likely to be more salable when mar
ket demand is favorable.
Eat plenty of spinach to keep we'll.
