TOR two days Reddy Fox and Mrs.
~ Reddy had kept away from the
farm farm where there they % had ID. caught ..sa,nth, the
of the third day there was
light snow, but early in the evening 1t
cleared and Reddy and Mrs. Reddy
started out hunting. They decided to
visit a farm beyond the one where the
hens had been caught. The way led
them only short distance from that
hen house and they could not resist the
temptation to visit It, They didn't ex-
pect to get another hen. They knew
that the hens would be locked in. 1t
was Just idle curiosity, the desire to see
again the place where they had been so
successful.
Peering through the wire netting Of
the fence, Reddy made a discovery, an
exciting discovery My dear" he whis-
pered, "the little door to the hen house
is open. The farmer must have forgot
ten to close it. If we could get into that
yard we could get into that house. I
believe I can climb that fence. Yes,
sir. believe can do Just that"
You won't have to-" replied Mrs
Reddy, who had trotted to the end Of
the yard where the gate was. THE
gate has been left open. What luck!
We can slip in there and each get
hen with no trouble at all. Come on"
She was just about to enter when
Reddy roughly pushed her aside.
What did you do that for?" she de-
manded GROSSLY.
Reddy sat down in front of the gate
and with his head cooked on one side
studied that yard. The surface was
smooth and undisturoed. The way to
that hen house seemed to be perfectly
clear.
What are you waiting for?" de-
manded Mrs. Reddy.
This Is too easy" replied Reddy.
"It is too good to be true. My dear,
there are two things wrong"
"What?" demanded Mrs. Reddy,
studying the white surface of the yard
This open gate and that open door, I"
replied Reddy.
II should say that they are just right.
not wrong" retorted Mrs. Reddy.
MY dear" replied Reddy. they seem
to me too much like an invitation to
enter"
You mean" began Mrs. Reddy.
"I mean I suspect a trap" inter-
rupted Reddy. The wind is blowing,
but this gate doesn't swing at all. There
Is Just room for enc Of us to pass
Evening star., 1933-02-10

/OU Will remember that both the
" one-over-one response and the
takeout In two of lowe-
i ranking suit can be made with
both weak and strong hands.
AFTER one-over- -one, you are assured
OF q further opportunity to clarity mat
Sers because your partner must keep
the bidding open. The takeout in two
n not a forcing response ana partner
Is not obliged to bid again, but the
oasis OF or original bios is such that
ne generally does make another bid,
resulting at least in a safe-or safer
partial score contract. Onlv If he can
reel sure from his own hand thct game
Is almost impossible Unless you could
nave made a forcing takecuS of three
IN your suit, will he pass your mini
mum suit takeout.
In connection with both these re-
sponses, therefore, our message as re-
sponder Is delivered in one or more in
stallmentS. When we make a one-over-
one, this Is always so, as partner may
not pass. When we make a minimum
suit takeout we have also told the
opener that the hand does have one
strength limitation-it did not warrant
q forcing takeout of three. The guess
work involved In these two responses
Is thus cnly temporary, sure to be
cleared up before harm can ccme.
Further implications of the No-Trump
''Sign-off.'
The response Of one no-trump, which
opener is at perfect liberty to pass, and
does pass more often than he will pass
a minimum suit tekeout of two, is ex-
tremely negative in its meanings. sdt
says, II do not want to pass. I can
not raise you in your suit, and may
have positive misfit in it. I have no
suit to bid myself Make no further
move except on your own undivided
responsibility" Nevertheless, the real
weakness implied in this response is the
inability to bid any itself or to assist
the suit already bid. The minimum

traps. They usually are in places where
you would most naturally step. This
gate Is open just enough so that II we
walk through we win have to step in
a certain place. I don't like 1t. AS I
said before, this Is too much like an
invitation. You stay here, my dear,
inside this opening"
What are you going to do?" asked
Mrs. Reddy anxiously.
Reddy grinned. Find out If 1t really
is as easy to get one Of those hens as
It seems to be-" he replied.
Before Mrs. Reddy could say word
Reddy made a long. graceful leap and
landed far inside the yard. He had

requirements which divide 1t from a
pass have already been explained It's
maximum range, however, is in my sys-
tenn substantially higher than you
would infer from the "sign-off" label
attached to 1t.
The upward limitation of the one no
trump response is this: While still un-
able to assist the openers suit or to
bid another suit it is not strong enough
for two no-trump response. You will
now see that you can have fairly
ctrong responding hand with which, be-
cause of its even distribution, you can
only make the sign-off bid of one no
trump. That Is because you need
stronger hand to respond with two no
trumps under my system than you do,
strangely enough, under systems which
allow for far weaker opening bids than
ours.
At the same time, co not be efraid
that by bidding only one no-trurnp
instead of two you will miss games that
others will reach. If opener decides TO
pass your one no-trump game is highly
Improbable. If his distribution will not
cuggect his naming second suit, even
If only as a safety measure, then thank
the system that you are not in a game
contract Also you will often thank it
that you are playing the hand at one
no-trump instead of two. Others would
probably get this bidding: One heart,
two no-trumps, pass-which generally
indicates predicament. This sequence
of bids is almost unknown in the Sims
system.
The Two No Trump Response.
Ycu may discover that when I advise
Tou to make this response your strength
5 such that you would feel more like
jumping to three no-trumps for fear
the partner would not rebid ever two
no-trumps. However, I have by now
made it clear that in my system the
leact cause 1or worry is that partner
will not rebid when he should We 60
rot lose games through any gap in the
bidding caused by conservation in re-
sponses. To respond with two no-trumps
you should hold cards with which you
must be extremely unlucky not to make
game, judging them in conjunction with
reasonable vigual.zation of your part

Balloon Defective, Gas
Menaced Crowd,
Says Airnnan

AKRON, Ohio, Aug. 3O.-Lt.
Comdr. T. G. w. Settle knew
that he had only one chance
in 10 of success on his recent
attempted stratosphere flight at
Chicago, but yet he hoped off
in order to prevent what easily
could have been a major tragedy
with a great loss of life.
Such was the amazing story
he revealed as the balloon was
returned here for repairs, prepara-
tory to another flight in mid
September. Extra precautions
will be taken to insure perfect
operation of the valve cords,
the failure of which caused the
end of the last flight soon after
it was started.
Valve Test Unsatisfactory
Discussing the first hop, 1t.
Comdr. Settle declared that dur
ing the final valve tests, opinion
was not unanimous as to whether
the valve was closing and a de-
cision had to be made as to
whether to take off or deflate
the balloon on the field. He
added:
"The latter would have been
a poor thing to do. Releasing
so much hydrogen there with
the crowds in the stands smOk-
ing and the flood lights all

HEARING ON M'LEAN
CUSTER SUIT DELAYED
Death in Family of Former Pub.
lisher's Attorney Is Cause
of Postponement.

Hearing on the petition of the
American Security & Trust Co. to re-
move Edward B. Mclean, former pub
Usher of the Washington Post, from
the co-trusteeship in his fathers estate,
today was postponed until Monday
morning by Justice Jennings Bailey of
the District Supreme Court
The inability of Julius I. Peyser,
counsel for Mclean, to be present be-
cause of a death in his immediate
family was the reason for the con-
tinuance.
In pressing for immediate hearing on
the petition, Attorney J. s. Flannery,
representing the trust company, the
other co-trustee, said any delay in the
matter would prove serious detriment
to the estate.
"If this case goes over for as much
as one week." he said. "the Post may be
taken out of the hands of the estate
by its creditors" He also said the trust
company had been unable to COM
municate with Mclean, who has been
In Europe since the Fall of 1881. Some
months ago, Mclean was removed as
co-trustee insofar as all matters per-
tanning to the operation Of the Post
was concerned.
In granting the postponement, Justice
Bailey said he was extremely reluctant
to 60 ahead without the presence of
counsel for Mclean. He stated, how
ever, that he would not agree to any
further delay Attorney Aaron w.
