Throughout the city today, "big

Two important mergers already

The two lotteries, both paying

LIB q
EXPERTS PLAY IT -

With the jack of spades in your hand,
you know that he holds honors in
spades.
You are not certain which is his
five-card suit, but with one strong
five-card suit in your hand and one
in his, 1t Is almost a certainty that
q slam can be made at no trump.
If played at a suit, the trump suit
will have to break, but with this type
Of hand it Is only necessary to have
one of the. five-card suits break in
order to produce slam at no trump.
In this case the club suit Is bound
to break and the declarer would have
no difficulty In making his small
slam.
The most valuable instrument Of
the contract bridge bidder Is the
forcing bid.
AS I have explained to you in my
previous articles, the one over one
bidding system has great many
ways of applying forcing bids.
When the forcing principle was
first adopted by contract bridge play
ers, it received a great deal of abuse.
Any player who picked up a fair
hand Immediately felt that he had to
force in order to convey his message
to partner.
The bid that received the great
est amount of abuse was, without a
doubt, the original forcing two bid,
or the game demand bid. I want to
state that I do not believe that more
than one original forcing two bid
comes up In $50 hands.
While the average of big hands is
possibly one in 100, unfortunately
some player before you will some
times put in physic, or some foolish
bid, SO that you do not always get a
chance to use the forcing two bid
But even though it is one of con-
tracts rarest bids, it has a most
valuable place in the game.
There are two types of original
game demand bids in the one over
one systematic original suit bid OF
two and the original suit bid of three.
These two bids differ mainly in
this respec-an original two bid
asks partners assistance in selecting
the proper declaration. It shows a
hand that has a choice of two bids,
or one that could become the dunn
my If played at a no trump contract.
The three bid, while forcing in
every respect, the same as the two
bid, shows partner hand In which
you wish to become the dummy-a
hand that you cannot play at no
trump, and one in which you simply
wish, in case you show two suits, to
support the suit in which he has
the most strength.
An original forcing bid in the one
over one system Is used to indicate a
hand that will 60 game regardless Of
the fact that your partners hand
may be trickless. It is not necessary
to open with forcing bid unless you
have this powerful hand.
You can open with any Of the one

Will ERECT -FOUR
BEACON STATIONS
TO GUIDE PLANES
Northwest Airways Will Set Up
Radio Apparatus Within
Three Weeks

The latest scientific aid in aerial
navigation will be applied to the al
ready extensive safety provisions in
the northwest within the next three
weeks.
Walter Bullock, operating manager
of Northwest Airways, InN., which
operates extensively In the northwest
disclosed Monday that the u. S. de-
partment of commerce has author
lied the erection of radio range bea-
con stations at four points in Min
neSota, North Dakota and Wisconsin
and that they will be ready for use
by Jan. l.
The stations are being erected at
Minneapolis, Fargo, N. D., Lacrosse
Wis.,, and Milwaukee. The govern
ment already has one in operation
at Chicago and one is being erected
also at Rockford, Ill.
Building of these stations" Bull
lock said, will mean the elimination
of any hazards Of flying during foggy
weather or snowstorms, as the pilots
will receive continuous automatic
signals informing them If they are
off their course and, If so, in what
direction they must fly to resume it.
Reliable reception, on aircraft in
flight, normally can be had up to
approximately 100 miles from the
station. The radio-marked course is
approximately seven to 10 miles wide
100 miles from the station"
Bullock explained that the station
sends out "off course" and ION
course" signals in the form of dots
and dashes of Morse code. Radio
range beacons located at points
where there are airway -communica
tions operate in conjunction with such
stations on the same transmitting
frequency.
The hours of operation of the
"beam" beacons are continuous, ex-
cept when stopped temporarily for
weather broadcasts or in cases OF
synchronized operation.

SAY MORE LEADERS
NEEDED TO ASSIST
GIRL SCOUT WORK
Approximately 252 Women and
Girls Are Active in Local
Enterprise

Need for additional leaders In the
Girl Scout work which has progress
ed rapidly in Bismarck during the
last two years was expressed Monday
by Miss Rita Murphy, a member Of
the local council.
Reviewing the work Of the Girl
Scouts, Miss Murphy pointed out that
the movement began modestly four
years ago but now consists Of coun-
Gil Of 13 members functioning under
the direction of Mrs. Burt Finney as
Scout commissioner. Miss Harriet
Rust, part-time local director assist
ed by Is examiners for proficiency
badges, Is young women who act as
leaders Of the 10 troops and 212 ac-
tive Scouts. OF this number 43 are
enrolled in the troop which meets
weekly at the Wachter school.
Girl Scouting is not only one Of
the finest but one of the most eco
nomical programs Of educational rec
reation," Miss Murphy said. when
overhead is compared with the achie-
vement, the former Is negligible. The
money raised locally through the
Community Chest Is returned to the
community In the form Of service,
better citizenship, better homemakers.
and fine nfe-savers. The success of
the movement here has been due in
a large measure to the enthusiasm
of the leaders. These young women
cannot be praised too highly for the
time and effort they voluntarily de-
vote not only to directing the troops
as captains and lieutenants, but for
their desire to prepare for this lead
ership by availing themselves of the
various training courses that are Of
fered from time to time. With the
rapid growth of Scouting in the city
there is still need for additional lead
ers. The local council has obtained
all the free training courses that the
national headquarters give to newly
organized units and from now on the
council must finance this from the
budget. The Girl Scout council de-
pends entirely upon the Community
Chest for funds to carry on all its
work as no phase of the Scout activi-
ties is sponsored by private organiza-
tons, clubs, or lodges.

gram is to provide constructive use of
leisure time through play, with an
ethical and educational purpose. This
ideal is achieved when, through Girl
Scouting, girl acquires set Of prin-
ciples, sense of personal integrity,
and an independence of spirit that
will carry her all through her life.
Since the organization of the Scout
movement in Bismarck there has not
been a single case of juvenile delin-
quency involving Girl Scout, ac-
cording to the report of Miss Mary
CaShel.
'The future Of Scouting in Bis
marck rests entirely with the people
of the city and the financial support
that the stress of the times will al
low. Scouting will grow only as the
people become interested In it and
understand its purposes, aims, and
benefits.
Additional impetus to the Scout
movement will be given in June when
the local council will be hostesses to
the Regional convention which will
bring delegates and leaders in the
Scout movement from North Dakota,
South Dakota, and Minnesota"
