SHOPPERS URGED TO PLAN
TO RECEIVE DELIVERIES
Merchants Declare Confusion II
Created When People Are Not
at Home.

The Merchants and Manufacturers
Association yesterday made an appeal
to Christmas shoppers to arrange for
ceiving goods ordered delivered to their
homes.
It was explained that much confusion
has been caused during the present
busy season by inability Of delivery
truck drivers to complete delivery on
merchandise which has been ordered.
In many cases 1t has been necessary
to return packages several times be-
cause no one was at home to receive
the goods. This adds immeasurable
confusion, at time when Washington
merchants are straining every resource
to meet the unusual demands of the
Christmas shopping season with salts
factory service.
It was pointed out that there has
been a great improvement over prior
years in this regard. as thousands of
people are helping to meet the emer-
gency by personally carrying their
small packages.

fineSse the diamond, but at the
table where the contract was dou-
bled, the declarer knew the loca-
ton of the king Of diamonds, and
therefore decided that his only
chance to make the hand was to try
for squeeze.
He returned small heart, East
echoed in diamonds, and declarer
won with the queen. He led the
queen of diamonds and went right
up with the ace in dummy.
The club suit now was started,
and four straight club tricks were
taken. On the fourth club, East
discarded a diamond, as did the
declarer.
The last club was led, and East
was squeezed. If he dropped a small
spade, declarer's four spades would
be good. while if he let go the king
of diamonds, the declarer's jack was
good.
Not a difficult squeeze, when once
the declarer was able to locate the
high cards.

A RE you too quick with your
N doubles?
Since the bonus for making a
doubled contract has been removed,
many players are under the i'm
preston that it is not costly to
double.
They feel that if the declarer
does not make his contract, he only
receives about 100 additional points,
while if they do manage to set him
one-or especially two-tricks, they
receive a handsome reward.
But have you ever thought of this
angle? Doubling locates high cards
TO rthe declarer, and your double
may give him just the information
he needs to make his contract.
The following hand was played
in duplicate match, and the only
pair to make six no trump was the
pair that was doubled.
The bidding at most tables was
as follows:
South and West passed. and
North bid one club. You will notice
that, although North holds $50 aces,
he does not bid no trump as he
does not have a no trump playing
hand.
South jumped to two no trump,
and in most cases North plunged
into six no trump, which one East
player unwisely doubled. I think
the better bid is for North to try
four no trump and leave it to South
as to whether or not he wishes to
go further.
q
THE jack of hearts was opened.
l. East won with the king and re-
turned a small heart, which was
won in dummy with the ace.

was not doublsd, South tried to

Waterfront" said here was a real
slice Of life.
AS for the movie-the director
has wisely captured the realism OF
the waterfront and the true char
acter of the men and women. He
has wisely refrained from. mob
scenes and introduces you only to
the chief characters. Also, the
cameraman has caught tremen-
dously the hidden message of the
waterfront.
The most difficult role to play on
the stage or screen is a newspaper
reporter. Ben Lyon has this as
signment and he gives straight
forward, honest and keen portrayal
of Miller, who covers the water
front
OF course he uses his right to in
ject "theater" at times, but he keeps
the character realistic most Of the
time. Lyon does better job this
time than he has for long time.
You have your own idea as usual.
Harry Beresford as Old Girls, who
rows, rows and seins for articles in
the harbor, gives a tremendously
fine human performance.
Claudette Colbert as Julie Kirk,
the girl of the waterfront, who loved
to battle nude, gives a performance
which proves that she seriously has
studied the many sides of the char
acter and mental makeup of Julie.
