long had been quietly working.
During the ensuing eight years he
remained almost entirely unknown to
the country at large. In telegraph
news out of Washington he was rarely
mentioned. A single exception was a
momentary furry in December. 1916,
when he advocated horizontal in

rem G. Harding became President he
early came to the front as a relentless
critic of administration policies. es-

tant conservative He opposed woman
suffrage, the child labor amendment,
and other so-called liberal" reforms
He voted against the eighteenth amend
ment, but supported the measures de-
signed to enforce it. He demanded
Government economy, but declared
with regard to Federal appropriations
that "every time one of these Yankees
gets ham, I'm going to do my best
to get hog" He favored high tariff
proposals at times and defended them
at times; but he consistently held out for
protection on the products OF his own
district. When he was criticized he
answered: Il fool them all by telling

to reduce or repeal estate taxes. In
1925 he suggested non-partisan
Committee on Internal Revenue Taxa
ton, and was successful in securing
its establishment and, in 1928, its ex-
pansion. The apex Of his campaign
against the program Of Secretary
Mellon came In December, 1890. when
he accused the Treasury Department
Of trying ito mislead the Congress and
the country" with regard to income tax
refunds. He did not accomplish hts
entire purpose, but he did make his
name known throughout the country
The struggle continued until Mr. Mellon
left the Treasury to be Ambassador to
Great Britain.

CONTRACT = HowTo Score 1t NDBRIDCE G''1
By WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY

by WILLIAM Is. tcNENNEl Secretary, American Bridge League
 This is the fifth of q series of six articles showing how to score q double rubber at contract bridge. Two more hands are scored on the sheet and explained below.
 Doubled Bid Makes Game
 North and South bid two spades. which was doubled. They made three. When contract is doubled, the tricks are scored at their dou- bled value. When the contract tx redoubled, they are scored at four times the undoubled value. Thero- fore two spades doubled would be scored by North and South as 120. or GO each for the two tricks bid and made doubled.
 When an extra trick Is made. this is not scored below the line. but is scored as an overtrick. The overtrick value is 90 points when the contract is not doubled regard less of vulnerability. but when tho contract ts doubled. each overtrick counts 100 points not voluncrable and 200 points when vulnerable. Remember that this Is the start of new rubbcr--neither side vul- nerable - therefore North and South score 100 points in their honor score for their 0vcrtrick.
 They made their contract dou bled. therefore they. are . entitled to 60 points in their honor, score as fl bonus. A line is now drawn under the 120 to signify one game and North and South become yul- nerable.
 Dcclarer Revokcs
 When n revoke is established, the hand Is played out and at the end of the hand the -revoking side take two tricks from the re- voklng side and counts them as their own tricks just as though they had been won in play. If the same player makes more than one revoke, only two tricks are taken for the first revoke and 100 points arc scored in the honor score of the nOn-revoking side for each subsequent revoke.
 In this example. East and West bid four hearts. East, the declar- CT. made six hearts. but he re- vokcd. therefore North and South take two of his tricks from him. but East still has 10 tricka left 50 that he counts four hearts bid and made the scores 120 points below
