willingness to pay the additional $40
on one of their cabs in order to
eliminate the competition of indie

1t was stated that the 500 fee
nearly would be impossible of pay

Contract Bridge

II you are on the left Of the
dummy and must select a lead, you
certainly would not wish to lead
clubs. as you would be leading
directly into the. ace-queen.
Your best lead would be up to
the diamond suit in dummy, which
is weak, because you would be lead
ing through the d~eclarer's hand,
which undoubtedly would assist in
establishing cards in your partners
hama.
However, if you were in the lead
and were sitting to the right Of the
dummy you would not wish to lead
diamonds, as that would be lead
ing through your partners strength
and would allow the declarer, who
was sitting over that hand, to kill
off his good cards.
II n q
VOUR best lead then would be
Il through the ace-queen of clubs
in dummy, hoping thereby to estab-
lish a king OF a jack in your part
ner's hand.
This is the principle employed in
one yer one system of contract bid
ding, in original no TRUMP bids.
In my last article I showed you
that, with a blank $50 aces, you
should not open with a no trump,
but should endeavor to have your
partner play the hand at no trump.
However, this was because there
was no advantage in the lead COM
ing up to you.
Let us take the following hand:
Spades K-J-3
Hearts A-1O-5
Diamonds A-K-J-2
Clubs Q-10-6
This hand has a biddable dia-
mond suit, but what are it's most
important advantages? They are
its tenace positions.
You can force your left hand OPP
ponent to do just the contrary of
the principle outlined above-you
can force him to lead up to your
strength, because you hold tenace
positions in every suit.
If this hand were to become the
dummy, your right-hand opponent
would be in the lead and he would
be leading through strength, which
would be to their advantage.
With you as d~eclarer, the advan-
tage is yours. Therefore, this is the.
ideal type of hand to open with n
no trump.
IT does not necessarily follow that
L. the hand must be. played at a
no trump contract. Your original
no trump bid simply says to part
ner, Il have a very fine hand and,
in addition, I believe that I can
gain a decided advantage by having
the lead come up to my hand.
Therefore, 1 am opening with one
no trump"
If partner should show concen-
trated strength in hearts or spades,
there is no reason why you can not
play for a game in either of those
SulCS, II Lne DloQng on the part
of your partner clearly indicates
that his hand will not fit with a
no trump contract.
What I wish you to gather from
this is that bridge is a partnership
game and you should not try to
play it alone.
Reason out what your partner is
attempting to tell you when he
makes a bid, and don't make a bid
yourself from which it would be i'm
possible for your partner to make
the proper deductions
The bidding in contract is an ex-
change of differences. Therefore
make this exchange of information
as clear as possible.

CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-The day has
passed when folk in Hoopeston, Ill,
and Muncie, Ind, were afraid to
come to Chicago because Of gang
sters with machine guns and pine
apple" bombs.
Next year, when the Century of
Progressive 1888 Worlds fair
opens in a SIS, 900 900 m~odernistic
wonderland on the lake front, the
millions who come from all over the
world to attend will find themselves
in what Mayor Anton ]. Cermak
predicts will be the safest big city in
the world.
Chicago already is one Of the
safest cities Of comparable size" the
mayor said today. Bombing and
gang shootings are being stamped
out
The war with gangdom has been
long and bitterly fought.
On one side were the gunner,
racketeers, hoodlums, %terrorists and
bee. barons, under the leadership Of
Alphonse Capone. They listed as
allies certain men in political Office.
Gangs Are CrumbIing
On the other side we're the law
abiding people of Chicago, their Of
hcials, the investigative and judi
cial departments of the state and
the United States, and the police
and the Secret Six
The fate of Capone and dozens of
other gangsters has become history.
That the gangs are crumbling is
common knowledge. Not so widely
known is the fact that the cketeer
is being pushed out of business.
Every housewife and householder
in the city senses that things &c
better than they were, although
many do not realize why. The citi-
zen who wants a suit cleaned and
pressed pleasantly is surprised when
the bill is SO cents while a few
months ago it was $3.50.
Racketeers Lose Hold
The answer-the racketeers have
lost their stranglehold on the
cleaning and dyeing business.
The housewife who buys supplies
doesn't realize that part of the a
son for their cheapness is the fact
that the merchant no longer has to
pay an exorbitant fee for 'protec-
ton" so his store won't be bombed
Mention of a name-the big shot"
no longer strikes terror in Chi
cago. There are no big shot" gang
leaders any more, at least on the
scale of Capone. The depression,
the police and public opinion make
that impossible.

In Russia the Czech outfit

direction of Kazan and Samara,
intending to reach Vladivostok
and sail from there to join the
Allies in France.
Safe passage was promised by
the BolSheviki. However, at 1r-

1918, the Czechs were treach-
erously attacked and divided into
two groups. One was endeavor-

Distance often is a barrier to
our fondest hopes. In the case
of these latter Czechs. it was.
However, they co-operated with
the Allied Eastern expedition in

railroad from Omsk to the Pacific
Coast.
