Mecca for the Mohammedans long
before the Christian era.
Not far off from the famous
mound will be found the extraor-
binary ruins of Baalbek. These are
the remains of an edifice so ancient
that nobody really knows the cir
cumstances of its founding. Some
authorities declare that this tower
ing heap of stone was once the
Biblical Tower of Babel. The Mos
lens, however, believe that the
builder was Cain, who threw it up
as a mighty fortress to defend him
self after he had slain Abel.
Nimrod, the mighty hunter, IS
said to have been one of the early
settlers at this place, and he is
supposed to have had considerable
connection with making the scene
the first site where idols were wor-
SHIPPED.
So mighty are these ruins even to-
day that some writer's claim the
great towers and walls could only
have been constructed in an era
when mastodons and other huge
prehistoric monsters were used to
lift the stones into place.
Distinguished visitors like Abra-
ham, kings and patriarchs all came

Playing Tricks

As n rule the last thing that n
contract player learns IS the most
important thing he should know.
That is, how to count the playing
tricks in his hand.
Playing tricks are the general
tricks your own hand may be ex-
pected TO take If your declaration
or your partners declaration be
comes final. When making an open
ing bid at no trumps, 1t is rarely
possible TO locate playing tricks,
other than hOnor-tricks, because you
have no definite long strong suit TO
establish. with a biddable suit,
you would not declare no trump)
But the count of honor-tricks I'm
the hand will automatically in
clude a proportlonate amount of
low card tricks.
When shifting into no trump, or
entering a later stage Of the bid
ding with a no trump declaration,
it Is often possible to count def
mite playing tricks according to the
location of strength shown by 9th
ers bids or by the fact of strong
minor suit in your own or your part
ner's hand which can be set up. But
for opening no trump bids and no
trump raises and rebids, there is no
better guide than the yardstick
count of hOnor-tricks.
The direct and simple method of
counting honor-tricks, so helpful In
valuing no trumps, will not answer
for raises and rebids at declared
trumps, which must be played un-
der totally different conditions. As
matter Of fact, the difference in
play of no trump and suit hands
creates two almost totally different
games; so that a separate system
Of valuation must necessarily be
used for each.
The count of playing tricks at a
suit bid is an easy matter for a
player of long experience and judg-
ment. Fortunately for the average
player, in the approach-forcing sys-
tenn what is an unconscious mental
process with the expert has been
translated into concrete form
known as the distributional count
The distributional count may be
mastered in half an hours study,
and once clearly comprehended, en-
ables any team of players to value
their hands at suit bids with the
precision of experts.

Distributional Values

urement for game, you should de-
clare only a sufficient number of
tricks to cover your partners bid.
In taking out with a no trump, use

whenever you are taking out and it
is still uncertain whether your part
nership hands will prove congenial
at your new bid, you must tread
gingerly unless the sum Of your
! honor-tricks spells GAME"
Often however, when your part
ner has made an original suit bid
OF one, there may enter into your
| response a factor which justifes
you in totally disregarding the yard
stick measurement Of honor-tricks,
so important in most responses.
/ This factor is the distribution of
your hand. If your hand is so IA
vOrably distributed as TO show

length in a second suit and COM
plete absence of a third, as for ex-
ample: so 109S76, H-5, D-none,
/ C-10-9-S-6-5-3, when your partner
has bid a spade, you could ignore
your lack Of honor-tricks and jump
Immediately into a game bid. Such
a proceeding would be justified by
the fact that your spade strength
would so solidify your partners
trump holding as to promise no
losers in that suit; your length in
clubs offers the probability Of set
ting up some end cards or giving
your partner repeated ruffing oppOr-
tunities, and most important Of all
in compensating for your deficit Of
| honor tricks, your short and missing
suits would enable you TO trump off
your opponents defensive strength
in hOnor-tricks. II is certain that
no more than one honor-trick in
hearts could be cashed against you,
and none at all in diamonds. SO
that even though your partnership
total of honor-tricks sums up only
TO the 2lA which your partners
original bid guaranteed, your prac-
teal certainty of breaking down
the opponents defense is equivalent
TO a strong honor-trick holding when
reckoned for its assisting value TO
your partner.

Borah And His Bolt

Borah And His Bolt
Senator Borah didn't surprise any
body, much, when he made an impas-
stoned speech reading himself out of
the republican party because of the
prohibition plank. The senator from
Idaho doesn't like the plank because
it opens the door to the repeal Of the
Eighteenth Amendment, and he is the
most stalwart of 'drys" His friends
are pointing out that it wasn't neces-
sary for him to bolt the party, since The
Chicago Republican platform explicit
ly declares that adherence to that par
ticular plank shall not be a test of
party loyalty. Senator Borah's enemies
are quoting remark attributed 10 Cal
vim Coolidge, when the former presi-
dent learned that the man from Idaho
rides horseback every morning. i
don't see how Borah and the horse ever
agree which way to go" he said, which
epitomizes the Idaho senator's we'll
known tendency to get-on the opposite
side of every question.
Silver Lining in Finance
Senator Pittman's bill to authorize
the government to buy billion and a
half ounces of silver, coin it into silver
dollars and issue silver certificates
against it may or may not become
law. It would bring the ratio of silver
to gold in our treasury up to where it
was when the present law, authorizing
the issue of $5OOOOO0 of silver certifi-
catees, was adopted. Then we had about
billion dollars in gold reserves; now
we have about four billion.
Whatever happens to that proposal,
there is strong belief that the sum-
mer will see rehabilitation of silver
to the position it occupied as money
before the war, through international
agreement. Plans are all laid for an
international conference, probably in
London, before the end of September
That would send up the price of sill
yer and put the silver nations on
more nearly an equal basis with the
nations in international trade. That, in
turn, would send up commodity prices
and greatly help to bring back bust
ness and employment

FOURTEENTH INSTALLMENT

Diana, young English girl in love
with Dennis Waterman, married man,
undergoes a nervous collapse and is
sent to the country to recuperate under
the care of DR.. Donald Rathbone, who
lives near the cottage where she stays.
She finds herself falling in love with
the doctor, but still trying to hold Den
mis- affection. Linda, Dennis wife, tells
her that she offered Dennis a divorce
but he would not accept it as he would
have felt compelled to marry Diana.
Diana's love for Doctor Rathbone is
tempered by jealousy of woman
named Resale, who lives in the doc
tors house At last Rathbone finds that
he is deeply in love with Diana, but
he confesses to her that Rosalie is his
wife.
He had married her out of sympathy,
when her husband had been killed in
the war. But Resale was hopelessly
insane. Diana and Rathbone part, and
letter comes from Aunt Gladwyn
calling Diana back to London.
Dennis comes to see her. She discov-
ers that she is all through with him.
As she is leaving for London a letter
comes from DR.. Rathbone, expressing
his hopeless love. Back in London she
learns that Linda Waterman, Dennis
wife, has been for years in love with
married man whose wife has just
died in an insane asylum. Life seems
frightful, puzzling affair. She goes
to party, expecting to be bored, but
