BY bidding four hearts, ! would not
be wrecking a fine hand, as now the
duplication in diamonds cannot be

in one black suit and the king jack
in the other at the very least With
less, he cannot 60 on to SIAM but If
he has the wherewithal to bid six
hearts over four. there should be at
least an even chance of making it. If
long in diamonds, he can ruff them
out and discard the necessary black
cards from my hand. In short, he can
strip his hand of diamonds and then
attempt an end play. With five trumps,
void and an ace, you can make a
mild slam try yourself in the form OF
Jump raise If (a) the opener bids
secondarily the suit in which you lack
the ace and have four small ones, or
tb) should an opponent overcall in
the suit in which you are void. and
your partner then bids a suit in which
you have A Xxx CT xxx. A cue
bid by you at this point will be infor-
native and innocuous. 1t may more
over impel the opponent on the lead
to open the unbid suit into a major
tenace in your partners hand. If he
accepts the slam try, he is likely to
have some such holding in it,
If Opening Bid Is OvercalIed.
After treating these light raises IN
rather optimistic vein. stressing their
game and even slam possibilities. I
feel 1 ought to remind you again that
you must pass if your partners open

intervening opponent unless you have
high cards as well as the distribu-
tional allurements and trump support
such as We have been considering.
There is no need for a chance giving"
raise. The opponent has given the
chance. An immediate raise by you is
therefore definitely constructive and
optimistic. 1t says that you do not
require to wait for your partners re-
bid in order to urge him to continue.
AS already stated, such raise indicates
that you are nearly strong enough to
have made jump raise in case the
opponent had passed. Use little fleX-
ibiity and imagination. but for general
purposes this is not bad yardstick:

Just as soon as they dared they made
their way to the cornfield. taking care

easy matter to keep out OF sight.
Farmer Browns Boy was busy with his

him. With a roar of his great voice
he started after Reddy.
Instantly there was shrill whistle
from Farmer Browns Boy and he was
sharply commanded to come back.
Bowser obeyed. There was reluctance
in every step and twice he turned to
look longingly after Reddy Fox.
Lie down." commanded his master
sharply. You know you are not SUP
posed to hunt this time Of year. If
Redd FIX has been over here in the

lifted his head uneasily to sniff. 1t
seemed to him that he still smelled the
Fox smell He did. Mrs. Reddy had
circled around so that Merry Little
Breeze would take her scout straight

simply couldn't lie still. His master
was far down the fed now. Slowly
Bowser got to his feet and began to
follow that scent
He caught q glimpse Of something red

The control of the film becomes q
matter of deep concern to parents.
When the picture reinforces the train

The movie, parents, is powerful

Everyday Psychology
High Position.
By DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

Positions of fame, trust or power, or
all of them at once, constitute the goal
Of ambition for many persons. I mean
those who have fighting chance to
get them.
A man who once held high position
asks me to pass on to my readers a
few comments. I do so for the reason
that his observations are completely In
accord with what believe to be the
laws of mental life.
My correspondent tells me that men
in high positions tend to become dog
matte. The high positioner tends to
forget all about his early struggles.
Moreover, he has a tendency to imagine
that he attained his high position
through some virtue not to be found
among his interiors. He overestimates
his own opinions.
This is not SO bad. Human nature
is that way. position or no position.
After all position is a relative matter.
Another item Of greater significance:
The man IN high position tends to
become lazy Why not? He may COM
mand advice and counsel without effort.
He may easily commander the best of
service without effort and without re-
ward.
Human beings are like that!
