Ing bidder does not know whether the
responding hand has any support at
all for his own concealed suit. The re-
spending partner should first deal with
his own suit. He should rebid it if it

The fact that he made a Jump take

Every interest in the State should
awaken to its possibilities and start
now. There are many signs Of def
mite increase in travel. Millions OF
vacation minded people are seeking new
play places. The location Of West Vir-
ginia to the large centers Of population
gives the State great advantages at

most in the shortest time and at the
lowest cost

"SELL WEST VIRGINIA."
SUPPORTED BY A. A. A.
Motoring Body Hopes to Encour-
age Touring in
State.

Active support by the American Au-
tomobile Association Of plans being
made by West Virginia motor clubs to
SELL the State to the Nations motor
tourists, assures that the State is GER
tain to have more prominent place
on the itineraries of millions of vaca-
tionists and that it will reap rich re-
turns from this vacation travel.
Due to the close proximity OF the
National Capital to West Virginia,
Washington is certain to benefit from
any increase in the number of visitors
coming into this section.
While West Virginia is one of the
least known travel objectives, 1t is a
veritable storehouse of play resources
and the program to focus national at
tention on these will do much to offset
the industrial losses in the State dur
ing the last three years.
The program to utilize the facilities
of the American Automobile Associa-
ton, with its nearly 1000 affiliated
motor clubs and its millions of maps
and travel publications, was drafted
here this week at conferences at
A. A. A. national headquarters.
Ernest N. Smith, executive vice pres
ident of the national motoring body
has taken the leadership in the Sell
West Virginia program and has the
cooperation Of all A. A. A. motor clubs
and civic interests in the State.
The program will be placed before
West Virginia interests at a series OF
meetings In the State, the first oi
which will be held at Charleston next
Monday. They will be attended by
representatives Of A. A. A. national
headquarters and virtually every in
terest concerned with the tourist de-
velopment of the Panhandle State.
AT the present moment" said Mr.
Smith, West Virginia is in a position
to make up for industrial losses through
til develoment of an aggressive tourist
and travel program which, If intelli-
gently conducted, would bring millions
of people and scores of millions of dol
lars into the State
Mills and mines in the State are

ity cannot be had until they reopen

bid seven on his suit If he held only
x x or in openers concealed suit. With
ample trump control both in top cards
and in number he can ruff a
round Of the openers suit, two If neces-
sary, and SO set up low cards in that
suit on which to discard any second or
third round losers that he may have in
the off suits.
Eliminate the Losers for Grand Slams.
(b) If his own concealed suit is
so strong that he cannot expect support
in it from his partner, and does not
need it, he should rebid that suit.
A K @ j or A K @ Xxx x would full
fill these conditions. Responder will
now know that the only trick likely to
be lost Is in his, the reSponder'S suit.
With three trumps to the ten spot for
his partner, he can bid seven in the
partners suit, for the latter will now
be able to ruff the responder's suit and
set it up to provide discards, If it fails
to drop. Only an adverse trump hold
ing Of xxxxx against flve-card suit
or j x x x against six-carder will de-
feat a grand slam arrived at in this
manner, and we would all be willing
to take this chance, especially when the
two bidding hands are neither Of them
abnormal in distribution, so that the
likelihood of abnormal distribution
against them is all the more remote.
Co II either hand contains the cards
which make it sure that both their
long suits are solid, he should imme-
diately bid seven no-trumps, as soon
as the bidding has shown that this de-
cision Is up to him. He should not ex-
pect his partner to supply information
which he is known not to possess. Such
slams should be bid in no trumps, not
only because of the higher trick value,
but to evade the remote risk of first
round ruff. Then, again, if, after all,
one suit encountered a fantastic dis
tribution and failed to break, the play
can be switched to the other, and
usually inescapable squeeze applied 10
the opponent who holds the stopper in
the first suit. If one of the suits breaks,
as it must on this bidding, you are likely
to have 13 tricks anyhow in top cards,
without having to use the small cards
of the other suit At worst, an unex-
pected finesse might have to be taken.

The speedometer Is one of those
parts OF the car most people take for
hand until something goes wrong. It
Is curiously misunderstood by men as
well as women, yet is reasonably simple
in its makeup.
II is really two instruments. One Is
counter for recording the number of
miles driven. The other is a dial that
records the speed the car Is travelling
Both instruments are driven by the one
cable, which is flexible so as to accom-
moSate Itself on its journey from the
transmission to the instrument panel.
The cable is driven from a gear at the
rear Of the transmission
The speed dial is magnetic in the
usual type of speedometer. That is, the
dial or pointer follows the end of the
cable through magnetic action. There
is plenty Of room here for inaccuracies,
but often the inability of the device to
record accurately is due to the gearing
being in the wrong ratio.

speed indicates that the upgrade is

speedometer a handy guide when going

who borrowed his mothers sewing ma

900 miles could tell you the same. He
thought he was putting over a fast one
and that the car would find a ready
market because of its low mileage
Most Of the prospective buyers looked at
the speedometer and concluded that if
the car had gone only 10000 miles in
five years there must have been some
thing wrong with it.
