Second-It suggests the likelihood
that all hands at the table. including
particularly that of the opening bidder,
may be split.
Third-Even If it holds high cards

absence of rufing power prevents you
from eliminating any losers at the
same time that you are making use Of
your re-entry cards. I mean this: II
you have trump support and double
ton, your power to ruff the third round
of that suit not only gives you a means
Of entering the dummy, but also limits
your losers in that suit to two. In
split hand you may take the tricks you
see, but you do not save any other
losers in the process of doing so.
With split hand, therefore, bid no
trumps rather than raising In the suit,
despite strong trump support. unless
the hand is so strong in high cards

can make no other bid. Over two no
trumps this particular responding hand
should bid three no trumps, in spite Of
his strength being entirely concen-
trated in two suits. Three spades
would be an underbid, sign-off almost
sure to be passed. Three no trumps
may be easier to make than four spades
The significant difference between the
two responses is that the no trump
does not add appreciably to declarer's
playing facilities, whereas the raise in
spades converts his estimate of his

While boiling, skim OF! the scum which

This will rise to the top and seal, the
jelly alright as 1t cools. Cherries
should be slightly underripe.
Elderberry jelly is made in this same
way. Equal parts Of apple and elder
berry juices combined are advisable.
Gather berries when not quite ripe.
There is a richness in wild grape jelly
which is not found in jelly made with
cultivated grapes. Stem grapes, boil
and strain, and make as directed. There
should be many unripe grapes in the
quantity. as they are richer In pectin
than the ripe fruit, and are needed to
insure Juice jellying. No apple juice is
required.

20 years. He believes in his cause as
strongly today as he did then. He
emerged from defeat in Texas with
fresh hope" he said, and with con-
fldence.
Just as there are those who believe
that when he comes up for reelection
in 1886 the seat in the Senate he has
held since 1918 may be taken from
him, so there are others equally in
sistent that he will weather the storm
once more.
He has done it before, the latter point
If not more so than those he now faces.
Many thought his political demise
was certain back in 1928 when he sup
ported AL Smith for President. Texans
f1ocked to the Hoover banner literally
by the thousands in that presidential
campaign and the State went Repub-
lican.
Sheppard, however, Is a loyal Demo-
crat and stood hitched to the party
post. He campaigned for Smith, argu-
ing that prohibition was not q political
issue and that the party's candidate
was deserving of support.
He was returned to the Senate in
1890 by tremendous majority without
making a single campaign speech.

death Of the program should direct the attention of citizens

The removal of the bugbear Of the Mapes bill should allow
for reasonable study of the tax problem with view to the
equitable distribution of the tax burden among the various
taxable elements.
The city depends to large extent upon taxes real property
for its income It is altogether probable that too much de-
pendence is placed upon this element.

many instances unfair, method of collecting

Although Monte Carlo and
Nice are the popular places
along the Riviera, those who
understand what is what in
variably award the palm to
Cannes. The town sits on the
shore of a shallow bay facing
south.
At the back are hills, and if
you like hiking then you can
follow the course of the Siange
River some 20 miles back into
the hills. An hours walk uphill
from Cannes will bring the re-
ward of delightful views. Lots
of visitors, of course, prefer to
do their lettering along the
famed Croissant, where an in
ternational crowd of celebrities
can usually be spotted some
time during the season.
But people who like to ex-
plore go up into the hinterland
north of Cannes to such places
as the medieval town of Tour
cites. It's buildings are mostly
sixteenth century, and a rare
opposite to sophisticated, up-to-
