 If you are interested in working out bridge problems, the following hand should help you enjoy an hour or so of this pastinae, and the problem is-can you stop South, the declarer, from making four spades?
 East and West can put up a de- fense, regardless of how the de- clarer plays the hand, that will defeat the contract, but there are many interesting angles to the hand. This hand Also has another interesting angle.
 Mary players have asked me, What do you do with these large hands that do lnot have the ten probable tricks sufficient to make an original forcing two bid, but which contain a great number of quick tricks ?''-such as today's hand,

The Bidding
 The South hand contains five quick tricks, but it is a long way from being a two bid under the one over one system.
 It does not qualify as an origi- nal two no trump forcing bid, as 1t does not have a five-card suit, and of course 1t does not come in the three no trump class as 1t can not guarantee game without any assistance from partner.
 However, in the one over one system, we do have a bid that shows Q much stronger hand than

Chase, the Takoma Park town
council last night adopted an
ordinance that all beer dealers
must pay 81 900 for town license,

lishments" within the town. a gen.
eral provision of the charter.

had been removed by the Mary
land Statewide beer act. A
court test is imminent.
Prettyman's Opinion
Prettyman in his opinion said:
"The courts would not 50
cOnstrue the State bill as to
reach the result that a person
who had obtained from the
clerk to the Circuit Court a
license to sell beer could be
prevented from selling it by
action of the town council"
H. C. Heffner was nominated by
the council for justice of the peace
and his nomination will be sent to
Governor Ritchie for final action.

D. c. BILLS STATUS
STILL UNSETTLED
House and Senate Conferees Fail
to Agree on Federal
Appropriation.

The differences between the House
and Senate over the 1884 District ap-
propria ton bill, involving primarily the
size of the Federal share and the park
refund issue. were still unsettled today,
and no definite time has been set for
another meeting of the conferees.
Although no progress has been made
toward reaching some middle ground
on the controversial questions, the con-
ferees have not reached an agreement
on the basis of the House contribution
of $5,700000
The Senate placed the Federal con-
tribution at $6,250,000, and when the
conferences began two weeks ago it is
understood the Senate group offered to
meet the House on figure somewhere
between the action of the two Houses.
Thus far, however, there have been no
indications of the willingness on the
part of the House conferees to go above
the House figure.
The other major item at issue is
whether the District should be re-
quired to make another reimbursement
of $l,0OO,OOO to the Federal Treasury
in 1884 toward advances in carrying
out the park program in view Of the
fact that further advances are not
being made on account of present
fiscal conditions. The House voted to
require another payment in 1884, but
the Senate struck this out after hear
ing testimony to the effect that the
reimbursements are being made faster
than was intended by the original law.
While it is likely that the conferees
may resume meetings next week. no
call has been issued fixing a definite
time
