The Opening TwO Bld

xuC OyCuAuB AWV 0A0
IN BOTH one-over-one and
the more modern Suitover-suit
procedure, an opening bid Of
two of a suit (but not 2-No
TrumpS) is a demand that
partner respond, regardless of
the fact that he has q COM
plete bust. You know that
your partner will respond to
an opening bid Of one If he
holds as good as two Kings, or
even a K and a @, bidding
no-trump, and allowing you to
play the hand at that make,
or at two Of some suit. To
force partners response when
he may be void Of honors
means that you should he very
strong-several tricks stronger
for an opening two bid than
for an opening one bid.
The more biddable suits you
hold the fewer certain tricks
your hand needs to force part
ner, because the greater
chances you have of finding
him able ITO support you, at
least with considerable trump
length in one of your biddable
suits. If you set too high
standards. you lose game oppor-
tunities. If you set too low
standards for your two bids
you go down too frequently.
The rules given here are what
my experience and calculations
have found most satisfactory.
A single biddable suit re-
quireS a hand reasonably GER
tain to win within one trick of
game. Two biddable suits re-
quire ability to win within two
tricks Of game. Three bid
dable suits require five quick
tricks and seven playing tricks.
You miss the point Of open
ing two bids If you think that
a certain number of quick
tricks are needed always. Both
single suffers and two-suiters
may not need more than one
or two quick tricks. The num-
ber Of probable tricks is the
vital factor. as you win note
in some Of the hands that
follow.
The first hand shown is not
strong enough for an opening
bid Of more than one. The
second hand should be opened
with bid Of four, as the
hand has little defensive
strength. it cannot be played at
any other make. and you want
to shut out adverse bidding.

When you have more than
one biddable suit first bid the
longest suit. If the suits are
Of equal lengths bid them in
order Of rank, the highest
suit first.
In each case bid two on the

to go game on it.

Much of Benefit
in Relaxed Mind
Homemaker Will Find 1t
Profitable to Escape
From Tension.

The unreckoned element in plans
is one which otter causes day OF
routine duties or especially arranged
work TO turn out differently from
what was expected. Sometimes the
change is fortunate, sometimes not.
If the homemaker could only look
into the day and realize what was
coming, she could suit her tasks to
the otherwise unexpected element.
There are times when such an in
sight into events can be attained.
whereby the mind is attuned to
events. The psychology is simple.
1t is worth trying out.
Before or after making plans for
day, sit down quietly and relax as
absolutely as you can. When the
mind is released from tension ii re-
spondS to sub-consciouS suggestions,

spirit, if one prefers. During these
few moments of relaxation, with n

portant to do will present itself. II
may be something totally unexpect.
ed, or it may be something which at
previous time had impressed itself
upon your thoughts. If it appears
of immediate Importance, ii is wise
to attend to it without delay. To
plan the day without including this
thing may be Cpsetting to tasks.
Why this should be the case, it
would be hard to say, but more
fruitful day results from needing
the suggestion.
Another method is to follow your
intuition. There still remain per-
sons who refuse to believe in intu-
ition, but as these same persons
follow their lunches" they are
merely shifting terms and making
distinctions without differences. A
hunch should be followed, so should
an intuition.
An interesting case comes to mind
which was told to me recently. A
young woman was very busy. She
had made her plans carefully for
the day and then for some rea-
son or another she gave relaxed
consideration of her days work.
Suddenly it appeared to her that
family she knew of was ir sore need
of funds, and that she could do
something about it, She wrote a
few letters acquainting "thers of the
need, without revealing so much that
ii would prove embarrassing to the
needy woman. The time taken for
the writing was not long. The re-
sponses were generous, anu enough
money came in to relieve the dis.
tress of the family to whom it was
sent. The young woman told me,
her work was the direct result of
her trying to receive suggestions
during a short period of relaxation
as described.

CHILDREN
THE UNTRUTHFUL ONES
By ANGELO PATRl

TITLE children have some diff
~ Guilty in keeping fact and fan
tasy apart. To them they are very
close. They look about alike to the
eyes of childhood because those eyes
have not functioned in the world OF
reality. 1t is not hard to know
that sort Of untruth and to set it
right. The difficult sort is that which
appears or rather continues to ap-
pear on through adolescence.
When an adolescent tells you any
kind of story to head you in a
direction that renders him safe,
when he lies to you in cold delibera-
tion, you have the right to fear for
his condition. He needs immediate
attention. First, try to find what
the lies are for. What does he want
10 do that he knows he should not,
or perhaps cannot do? What Is he
trying to get away from and what
Is he trying to get to? If you can
get to the bottom of that you may
be able to do something for him.
or her.
Many times these adolescent chill
dren are in the grip of sex urges
that they know nothing about. The
little instruction they have received
is not enough to carry them through
the terrific onrush OF feeling, SEN
sation. whatever you choose to term
it, that besets them. In their en-
deavor to maintain themselves In
any degree of comfort they make
mistakes, then lie out of them as
best they can because they are
afraid to tell the truth. There is
no use in telling them to tell you
the truth and you won't blame them.
They are ashamed, afraid, inarticu-
late.
When you find yourself in such a
fix as this, waste no time. Go to the
specialist. Find one who knows
adolescent children. Try to find a
specialist who is serving in hos
pital or clinic where such young
people are treated. Tell him or her
the story and put your afflicted
child under treatment. Lies are in
dications of pathological condition.
All the scolding in the world
won't help them. You need the
skilled psychiatrist, neurologist,
physician.
Sometimes fear drives children In
to telling lies. That sort OF lie is
as easily detected as the other. Try
to find what sort of fear Is troubling
the child and do your best to re-
move 1t. II you cannot find the fear
and you see that the child Is suffer
ing from 1t. take him to the special
list and have him treated for 1t.
There is no time to be lost.
There is no cause for alarm when
little child strays from facts. Set
him right by saying: That is the
fairy story. Tell me the real one.
But when untruthfulness continues
on into adolescence call the spe-
cialist.

Corsica's Notorious Bandits

which have been announced as the
downfall OF the last bandit, so that
Spada's seizure may mean only a
temporary cessation of activity.
Some obscure lieutenant OF his may
now spring into fame. Such has
been the course OF Corsican bandit
history.
Code of a Bandit.
Opinion is divided on the charac.
ter of the Corsican bandit. That
some of them have been b,oodthirsty
and murderous is certain. yet they
seem TO have followed codes of
honor and have never oppressed the
poor. Their rule, nearly always fol
lowed, not to molest the tourist, is
held TO be strictly selfish; tourists
bring money into Corsica. they rea-
son, and without money how would
the bandit exist? Hence. do not in
terfere with the tourist trade.
A correspondent of the London
Morning Post, sent 10 investi.
gate the Corsican bandit situation
summed up the matter as follows
Men of Spada's type nave strict
code of honor They never interfere
with the postal service. they never
rob tourists. They never kill save
for reasons of revenge or self-de-
fense. Ii may be asked why such
men become bandits at dli. Almost
invariably it is the result of a ven.
delta. One man kills another, and
to escape the consequences is
forced TO take to the 'maquois.
From time TO time he is forced rC

he does not overstep himself. bis
