Conquering Contract
BY P. HAL SIMS

this rule: Having originally passed.
raise your partners opening no-trump
bid to two no trumps only on a short
suited hand permitting no other re-
Spouse. If you possess f1ve-card suit
and are not too weak to pass. or II
you should bid a four-card major suit
on Institutional grounds, make your
choice between these two Alternatives
(a) bidding your suit, or (b) if strong
enough in distributed high cards, rails
ing Immediately to three no trumps.
When Opening Bidder May Raise His
Partners Suit.
Though your main objective should
be to bid for game in no trumps when
you have opened the bidding with one
no trump, there are occasions when
your partner responds with major
suit and game may be easier or safer in
his suit than in no trumps. If your
hand is thoroughly protected and in
distribution offers no plea for suit
play, rebid> no trumpS and do not raise
the suit. If your partner rebids the
suit, you can still raise him on the next
round realizing that his hand is insult
able for no-trump play. but may ham
die beautifully in the suit because of
his distribution and despite his lack Of
high cards 1t Is when the openers
hand contains some weak spot like A X
that the suit contract calls for early
encouragement. Naturally. to raise i'm
mediately, you must hold four cards in
support of your partners suit as he is
permitted to respond with four-card
major suit and you must not trust him
for five until he has rebid it.

"Yes'm," replied Betty Bear in very
small voice.

Then she thought of that ant hill

1t from the tree and just ran over to

Mother Bear didn't say anything and
Betty Bear hurried on. They are the
incest ants. I just tasted them and
then was going right back up in that
tree to stay until you came. But a
dreadful great Bear chased me up in
that little tree and tried to shake me

Mother Bear.
Then what was he trying to shake

Betty Bear.

Betty Bear shivered and looked this

Very slowly, with her head hanging,
Betty Bear moved toward Mother Bear.
She had feeling that she wasn't go

Instead, she was spanked and 1t was
quite the hardest spanking she ever
had received.
Now" growled Mother Bear, you

and climb up in it and stay there until

Betty Bear went. She climbed the
tree and from it she watched Mother
Bear stir up that ant hill and lick up
the ants as they poured out Of 1t. She
didn't stop until there were no more

that feast. Instead she had had

look so angry. She merely glanced
up at Betty Bear, then sat up for a
look around. all the time growing. 1t
