 The desire to play, the hand is certainly. the cause of running a lot of good big hands. When you pick up a hand containing two strong suits, your first thought should not be, Well, here. IS a nice big hand" but rather. T must be very careful to learn as quickly as possible whether or not this is going to, be misfit hand." :"
 Here is another. of the interest ing slam hands that came up al the Hanover meet.
 The Bidding.
 South, the. dealer, opened the contracting with one spade. North bid. two diamonds. While North has two ,ace-king suitsl don't be lieve it a good jump force es- pecially when playing the construc- tive one over one system of bid ding.
 Remember that partner has made an original bid which shows a good hand. Your great difficulty with that hand is that it also may be a misfit-your partner may have clubs and spades. By pumping you tell partner that there is a possi- bility into slam, and you cer- rainly have no slam, and you cer- tainly have no assurance on this pattern of a fit. :.
 After the two diamond bid South will bid three clubs. North should bid three hearts. The bidding of the heart suit after the diamond suit definitely shows that you hold either, two four --card suits or a six and Ave- card suit.
 over three hearts South will bid three spades. North should then bid four hearts. Rebuilding the heart suit shows five-card suit, therefore South now knows that his partner holds six dia- monds and five hearts.
 You will notice that South did not support the hearts on the first round. It is not advisable, to sup port with only three trumps, es- pecially when the bidding indi-

The Next War.

Last week we presented an editorial article describing the vast increase in the number of poison gases useable for war purposes which have been de- veloped since the Great War.
 Herewith we present as 8 further admonitory lesson to the public against war, the fol- lowing statements descriptive of the fearful effects which are certainly to be expected from their use in time of war.
 General A. E. Ross, of Cana da, doctor, chemist and soldier, said recently:
 Three drops will kill. It is a gas against which our masks would be no protection what ever. One part of this gas in 10,000,000 parts of air will put a man out of action in one min- ute. It was tried on a herd of goats and it killed all but four. Twa planes could carry enough to destroy the population of London"
 "The next war will take as many weeks as the last took years and civilization will be plotted out. That is the pict- ure General Sir Ian Hamilton, famous British military leader and Chief of the British Leg ion, drew in a speech to the British Veterans of the Great War.
 The huge masses of infantry on either side will never get in-' to contact. The whole of the mechanized motor-driven fore es of either side will meet at once under the sea, in the air. and on the land. Each will be- must be-rushing forward to seize an advance base for their aerodromes and oil depots on enemy soil. That first encount- CT will almost certainly decide the war. The victorious tanks and airplanes will eat up the hostile infantry and artillery. Then they will begin to lap up the civilian population as a cat laps up cream"

 It must be remembered that in the constructive one over one sys- tenn of contract bidding there are many forcing bids employed not used in other systems.
 For example, the dealer opens with one heart and partner jumps to three hearts. This is a forcing bid, asking partner either to go to three no trump or to bid for game in hearts.
 A jump from one heart to four hearts is not sign-off bid-it clearly states that the assisting hand believes that at least five add can be made and with addi- tional strength in the original bid- der's hand, he is inviting slam.
 If the original bidder opens with one heart and his partner jumps to two no trump, this also is a forcing bid.
 However, there are times when it becomes necessary to deviate from any rule in contract bridge to obtain the best result, and if a player will stop and think before making a mechanical book bid, he will find the game much more in- teresting.
 Here is one of the hands from the national amateurs pivot and progressive tournaments in which the pair playing is not only failed to arrive at grand slam, but failed to bid for the small slam.
 The Bidding.
 South, the dealer, opened the contracting with one heart. West passed. The. North and South pair were using the constructive one over one system of bidding.
 After South's bid of one heart, North had a perfect picture of the hand. Where are the three high card tricks necessary for an open ing bid in this system?
 First of all, he knew that his partner must hold the ace and king of hearts in order to give him two tricks there. He could hold the king of clubs and the king of spades to give the three

If North were to jump to four hearts, as he did when this hand was played, it is true that this is a slam invitation. but don't you realize that partner with mini mum holding would now pass? As North's hand contains all the high card tricks there would be noth- ing for South to do but pass.
 The better bid is either to force in another suit or to make a re- sponse of three hearts. Personally I believe that three hearts is the better response.
 Before making a forcing bid stop to consider whether your bid is conveying information or seek ing additional information. In this case North was seeking addi- tional information. If he had bid four hearts he would be giving information and that would be wrong with this type of hand.
