CARD PARTY

Next Thursday, August "a, at Mrs.
G. Marshall Townsend's cottage at
Slaughter Beach, the Milford New
Century Club will give card party.
Prizes, refreshments and good
time with friends at the shore seem
like a fair exchange for the fifty
cents to be spent for a ticket.

URGES FIGHT TO BUY
NEW SCHOOL s SITE
South Washington Citizens
Head Proposes Drive
for $4,000 Fund.

Pointing out that the present Jeffer-
son Junior High School is still in use,
although, he said, it had been con-
demned as unfit for school purposes by
Congress in 1908, Jacob M Schaffer,
president of the South Washington
Citizens Association, urged members of
the association last night to fight for
an appropriation of $4,000 for COM
pleting the purchase of site for a
new school between Seventh and Ninth,
II and 1 streets southwest.
The association, meeting In Fair
brother School, passed a resolution
complaining against the ''unsightly
storage yard" maintained by the Office
of Public Buildings and Public Parks
at the northwest corner of Seventh
and D streets southwest. A copy of
the resolution was forwarded to Col
U. S. Grant, Sd, director of the Office.
Mrs. Walter Ufford, chairman of the
Public Welfare Con, mittee, reported ,on
the activities of he committee in be-
half of the S62J000 appropriation
sought by the Commissioners from
Congress for relief of the unemployed
during the latter half of 1898.
The association decided to invite
Maj. E. w. Brown, superintendent of
police, to address the next monthly
meeting of the group. Tentative plans
were laid for pageant to be presented
soon, depicting incidents in the history

By Gable to The Star.
ROME, Italy, February 16.-Capt.
Emilio Draghelli, one of the pilots for
Air Minister Gen. Italo Balbo'S South
American flight, has gone to Copen-
hagen to arrange with the Danish
government for use by the Italian
aramada flying this Summer to Chi
cago of Danish flying bases, as well as
to study atmospheric conditions for the
flight to the United States.
It is understood that Gen. Balbo has
decided to use Julianehaab, at the tip
Of Greenland, instead of Ivegut, his
first choice, because Julianehaab has a
bigger airport. Ivegut, however, is
being reconnoitered as an emergency
port for forced landings.
Gen. Balbo's return fight will be by
the long route from Newfoundland to
Ireland
Small, fast, radio-equipped boats will
be posted across the Atlantic to guide
and assist, if necessary, the italian air
feet. They will be in contrast to the
warships used for the South American
fight. Experiments with such small
boats are already being made in the
Tyrrhenian Sea near Orbetello Airport,
north of Rome, where the flyers are
training.

Minot Seeks Help
For Flood Control

Minot, N. D., May 24-lR)-A plea
for federal aid for flood control Of the
Mouse River is to be laid Wednesday
before Col. Wilbur Willing of the st.
Paul offices Of war department en-
gineers, when he conducts a hearing
at the court house in Minot.
In calling the hearing, Col. Willing
declared there are two general meth
DDS by which the floods of the
Mouse river can be controlled, one
by channel improvements and levees
in Minot and by levees at other towns,
or by means of reservoirs.
1T does not appear feasible to build
reservoirs in the United States but it
does appear possible to build reser-
voirs in Canada, which, altho they
might not provide complete protec-
ton, would provide a substantial con-
troll of the Mouse river floods Col
Willing said.
The hearing takes on an interna-
tional aspect by reason of the fact
that the Mouse river originates in
Canada, where it is known as the
Souris, and after a loop thru North
Dakota, again returns to the domin-
ion.
A delegation from Estevan, Sask.,
near which it has been proposed a
reservoir might be constructed, is in
Minot for the hearing and will submit
its views to the army engineer.

It is rather difficult to give the
correct bidding in freak hand from
both sides, as you always have the
human equation to deal with. How
ever, believe it should be along the
following lines; South should pass,
West should bid one heart. North
and South are vulnerable and North
can make an overcall Of two dia-
mondS.
Remember that when vulnerable an

card suit and pretty good hand.
East, having normal support for his
partner and a void in diamonds, is
justified in making a constructive
response OF two hearts.
South should support his partner
suit by bidding three diamonds, as
this IS the real safety of the hand.
West will then show his second suit
by bidding three spades.
North can bid. four diamonds-re-
member his first bid showed five

must show 1t to be either six-card

South can bid five clubs and West
five hearts. North will bid six clubs

DIX Wms e. MCAkNNEx
Secretary, American Bridge League
Occasionally at tournament a
freak hand will be dealt which will
produce a lot OF fireworks. One OF
the most unusually freakish hands
that I have seen for a long time is
the following hand which was dealt
at bridge tournament in Cleveland
recently.
Looking the hand over, you will
find that North and South can make
six no trump, six diamonds or six
clubs, while East and West can make
six spades or six hearts. You can
imagine the great variation Of bid
ding, and 1t was unusual to note that
top score on the hand was received
by a pair who bid for the least num-
Der Of tricks.
The Bidding
South, the dealer, opened the bid
ding with one club. West overcalled
with one heart. Personally, in the
constructive one over one system, I
would not open South'S hand in this
manner, and If South had opened
with one club, I would make mega
tive double with the West hand. It
is an ideal hand for such double as
it has both spades and hearts.
However, as the bidding actually
occurred, North then bid three dia-
monds, East bid three hearts and
South bid three no trump. West bid
