With thoughts unkind?

That makes them near, or farther

Though visions fade and castles

Then you would better. though It

Even if there is an opposing bid
a jump bid in a new suit is forcing.
When you hold strong support for
your partners suit bid with 3 or
more honor tricks, it is advisable to
resort to a forcing take-out in an
other bidding suit and give your
raise on a later round. In this way
only can you convey to him the quail
ity of your raise, telling him that
it is founded not alone on distribu-
tional values, but on honor-tricks as
well.
A take out, even when it is fore
ing, can never be made on an unbid-
dable suit. 1t should usually show
at least a five-card suit, but may oc-
casionally be made on a four-card
suit.
By the exchange of the exact in
formation revealed in a forcing
take-out it is often possible for a
partnership to bid and score slam
which might otherwise have been
missed. Take the following hand
for example:

More About the Forcing
Take-Out

THE forcing take-out fills more
Il imperative need than any other
forcing bid in the approachforcing
system. Ely Culbertson, its origina-
tor, places 1t far ahead Of his fore
ing twO-bid in Importance, and
there can be no question that use
for it occurs much more frequently
than for the original two-bid. How
many times when your partner has
opened the bid, say with one heart,
have you held a hand somewhat
like the following:
s: A, Q, JAP H: X, 10
D.: Q,r10, 80 G: A, s
Certainly there is a game here,
possibly slam. But should the bid
be played in spades, hearts, dia-
monds or no trumps? You can only
get the answer by gaining further
knowledge of your partners dis
tributiOn. And how can you be sure
of getting this further information
Simply by bidding two spades,
which compels your partner to tell
you more about his hand. (Unless
the take-out is bid to an advanced
score and is sufficient for game.)
Here are examples of some sound
forcing take-outs of an original bid
of one diamond:

Here South has opened with one
club and West has passed. If North
Immediately jumps to five clubs,
South should pass, as he has no
means of knowing whether North's
raise is based on distributional or
honor strength, and so cannot dis
count enough of the opponents s
honor-tricks for a safe slam bid.
If, however, the hand is correctly
bid by both partners, the slam can
not be missed. The correct bidding
is:
SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST
One Club Pass Hearts Pass
4 No Trumps Pass Clubs Pass
6 Clubs Pass Pass Pass
Counting his honor-tricks in con-
junction with the 3 shown by his
partners forcing take-out, South
can readily see that his partnership
is in the slam zone with Z honor
tricks. And knowing that North
also has powerful trump support
and favorable distribution, shown
by his high raise, South is practi-
cally compelled to bid for the slam.
More often than not, however, the
forcing take-out of a suit bid indi-
Gates lack of support for the suit.
and under no circumstances can the
original bidder assume trump sup
port or rebid his suit without about
4 sure trump tricks.

Inadequate Excuses.

Administration spokesman frequently
attempt to abb Republican responsibility
for the two billion dollar deficit by blaming
II on the soldier bonus. veterans relief. etc.
There may be debate on how much or
how little should be allotted to the men
who served in the great war particularly
in such period Of national poverty 90
exists today. but in explaining the increase
OF Federal expenditures in the major gov
eminent departments from 1927. year
Of prosperity. to the second year of the
Hoover panic. the soldier bonus excuse falls
far short.
For example the Department of Agricul-
lures expenses were about tripled, and
what has Secretary Hyde's branch got to
do with soldier bountiess True, part Of
the tripling Of the cost of running our de-
partments and bureaus concerned with the
farms is due to the Farm Board but that
half billion-dollar flier was Mr.. Hoover's
own conception. The Post Office deficit
jumped about $l50. 900. 000-c certainly not
uuc " lettcIS 70 service men.
The Department Of Labor contributed
a modest fve-million- dollar increase to the
deficit; the Shipping Board added $40,-
100000. and the Commerce Department
cost approximately $24.OOO.0 900 more in
the last fiscal year than during Mr.. Hooyer's
last complete year as Secretary of Com
merce.
The Department Of Justice Ieaped from
$24,S00.O00 during the FIVE years to $751;
100000. Just how much additional benefit
the country has enjoyed in the matter Of
legal and judicial service Is something to
be discussed by rival campaign orators
there is no question how the average lay
man will assess the relative Importance
OF the increased expenditure and what has
been realized from it, not only in the de-
partment Of Attorney General Mitchell but
in the other governmental divisions that
have been referred to.
Undoubtedly had the soldiers not been
awarded their bonus we would have more
money In the treasury. but the increases
here noted could not have been seriously
influenced by that action.
Nor is the other Administration expla-
nation Of the deficit either adequate or
convincing. They attribute nearly all Of
II to decreased income-tax receipts. Obvi-
ously If there was no panic there would be
Larger returns from the income taxes, but
what the country would like to know is
why it cost billion dollars less to run the
Government when income taxes were at
their peak than it does when they are a,
their lowest.
We knew in October. 1929. that lot of
people had gone broke. or had suffered a
vast diminutiOR in their fortunes by reason
OF the collapse Of the stock market with
the obvious consequence that their incomes
and, therefore, the taxes they would pay
would be less for the panic period.
Why in the name Of the great economist
IN the White House. and that Of the
greatest Secretary of the Treasury since
Alexander Hamilton. was not something
done to bring expenditure into some rela-
tionship with Government outgof
