With four aces in the two hands plus
the no-trump material in openers hand
plus the two and one-half to three
tricks. together with suit length in the
responding hand. slam is extremely
likely even If openers hand is only a
minimum of its kind. BY his first re-
bid of three no trumps he has warned
the responder not to expect any reserve
values. BY later cooperation in the

Even With Four Aces There May BE

With all the aces it may still be

He would then have the reserve value
which his partner lacks, as shown by
the bidding so far.
a Brief Summary.
To summarize the openers rebidding
procedure-his response of three no
trumps denied three aces and pro-
claimed minimum hand. After the
partner showed a second ace. opener
co-operates to the extent of assuring
his partner that he holds two aces. but
warns him that the hand is minimum
ro-trumper, though it has two aces and
was MT shaded as regards its three and
half tricks. This information, con-
veyed in two installments, enables the
responder to size up the slam chances
very accurately and to make the closing
bid en- his next reply He cannot ex-
pect any further information of de-
cision from the opening bidder after
the bidding that has taken place.
Grand Slam.
To bid the grand slam in face of his
partners weak bidding, the responding
hand would need as much as

Everyday Psychology
Courage and Fear.
(Copyright, 1933.)
BY DR.. JESSE W. sPROwLs

Sometimes think We can better un-
derstard the psychology of everyday
life, II We seek to know the relation of
names to human behavior.
Take courage and fear These are
names for two kinds of behavior or two
attitudes. They are more closely re-
lated than most persons are in the
habit of thinking Mention these to-
gether and you are likely to think OF
the two attitudes as entirely different
things. But they come pretty close to
being twins.
Fear is the attitude you assume when
you try to get away from something
Generally, however. this running
away" attitude amounts merely to a
postponement of meeting the fear-in-
spring object
Courage is fear plus dash Of in
dignation. In some cases. anger. This
is enough to make you feel like getting
rid of the fearful object Immediately
instead of postponing the meeting. Sc
a fight is on. We all admire courage
because we would like to conquer oul
own fears. We all despise fear because
we don't like to admit our inability to
make something better out Of it.

How 1t Started
BIZ JEAN NEWTON.
When in Rome Do as the
Romans Do

We are all familiar with this popular
old saying. for which reader asks the
origin.
The saying goes back to an incident
that has come down to us out Of the
life of ST Augustine. Accustomed 70
eating on Saturday as ON Sunday. St.
Augustine was puzzled over the prac-
tIce then prevailing in Rome of fasting
on Saturday. He consulted ST. Am
brose, who is said to have replied:
When I am here. 90 not fast on
Saturday: when at Rome. do fast on
Saturday"
The popularity of the saying in
English speech is no doubt to be largely
attributed to its appearance in that
early seventeenth century English
classic. Burton's Anatomy of Melan-
choly" in which it appeared as follows:

The Old Gardener Says:

The sowing Of pansy seed
should take place early in
August. 1t is so easy to raise
pansies from seed that no anna
teur should hesitate to try the
experiment. but always with the
best seed that can be purchased.
Only disappointment will result
from the use Of poor seed. for
such seed will give small. weak
flowers 1t is best to SOW the
seed lightly i'll a raised bed.
Plenty of water is needed. which
is best applied through a strip
of burlap laid over the bed be-
fore the seedlings appear. This
will prevent washing. After
the seedlings are well up they
should be removed to another
bed or a cold-frame where they
can be carried through the
Winter with a little protection.
The one point to remember is
that the seed bed and seedlings
must never be allowed to dry
out. Plants wintered in a cold
frame will give flowers earlier
O in the Spring than those left
outside.

The brain trust" is perhaps the most
familiar. Strictly speaking, however,
the brain trust" was named before
Roosevelt became President. In Albany.
prior to his Inauguration, reports drifted
down to Washington concerning this

There's another group of presidential
advisers. however, which has come into
being since March 4 and whose name
was conceived and bestowed in the
Capital. 1t is the so-called bedside
cabinet"
The bedside cabinet" is just what its
name implies. The President upon
awaking in the morning, frequently
summons to his bedside some of his
most trusted lieutenants for conference
on the most pressing problems confront
ing the administration at the moment.
The bedside cabinet" is composed
Of three men. Prof. Moley, generally
regarded as the foremost n-truster"
in the administration, is usually present.
Young Lewis Douglas, director of the
budget. Is the second, and Louis Nc
Henry Howe, the chief presidential Sec
retary. is the other
