Conquering Contract
BY P. HAL SIMS

you only two alternatives, both at q
high. level-either to accept slam try
or to pass. That level is already too
high if you have bid a psychic. The lee
way facilities can be provided in only
limited form, in a narrow range. For
this reason the players in my circle are
increasingly averse to any tampering
with no-trump standards. Some Of
them insist that there be no shading
whatever in any position; and they lose
nothing by 1t as far as scores and sea-
sons averages show. On the other
for their regularity and soundness, you
can inflict complete surprise maneuver
by bidding-0n rare occasions a psychic
no trump. No one, least Of all your
partner, will suspect it at that moment;
and there are two opponents to fool as
against one partner. If you cannot af-
ford to take an average score on any
hand, I. do not wish to cramp your
initiative; desperation obeys no laws.
Remember. however, that, even II you
win hand here and there by fooling
your opponents where your partners
hand is too weak for him to take action
by virtue of your bid, your partner may
be giving you timid or 0nconvincing
bidding on other hands because he is
always afraid that you may be psych-
ing, and thus many losses may accumu-
late to blot out the occasional successes.
Partnership confidence should take pre-
cedence of every other consideration.
You can 'psych" in suit without dis
rupting your partnership. because the
sign-offs are early, easy, flexible. In no
trumps the sign-offs are at higher
level and clumsy in comparison. They
may keep you out of games as we'll as
get you into penalties. I advise you to
leave them alone; even the finest cham
pionship partnerships do not handle
them well, if at all. have merely tried
to explain why they are sometimes used
by players whom we must all respect.
They are not part Of my system: quite
the contrary. They can never pay the
dividends which you can earn by
taking your no-trump bidding very seri-
ously and looking to it to score plenty
of games and slams, instead of miSusing
it as a bogey to scare the opponents
when you fear they have the hand on
you.

Necessary Limitations.

Necessary Limitations.
No-trump bidding cannot be as fex-
ible in the higher ranges as suit bidding
because we cannot make any no-trump
bid absolutely forcing beyond the game
level. The sign-off has to be a pass,
where, as in suit bidding, the sisn-oft
Is in the same number OF no trumpS,
you can sign off without increasing the
number of tricks contracted Tor ana
without preventing your partner from
making another move when the bidding
is. say, one spade or one no trump, three
clubs, three no trumps. You have signed
off at a safe level, but your partner can
still bid if strong enough to override the
sign-off However, if the bidding is one
no trump, three no trumps, now you
can only sign of by passing. which enos
the bidding. We have done what we
could to overcome this limitation which
is inherent in the mechanics OF the
game, by the procedure which l have
detailed at such length.
Locating the Aces.
For similar reasons aces must be To-
Gated by inference, and not by naming
them, as we can in certain hines OF
suit bidding. The safeguards and stlpu-
lations in connection with slam tries in
no trumps may have seemed to be un-
necessarily exacting or pedantic at the
time, but I believe that you now realize
that they are a necessary factor in pre-
venting us from bidding six no trumps
with two aces against us, where we have
everything else in the deck and could
not lose any other tricks. Again, where
we have an ace against us, but can
gather in the other IL tricks, We should
get to our slams with consistent reg
ularity. The foundation of this accurate
bidding lies in the soundness of the
opening no-trump bid, backed by the
soundness of all other-than- minimum
responses or rebids. Refrain from Shad-
ing your bids when no trumps are the
medium of communication, because the
sign-off is arbitrary in that it puts an
end to the bidding instead of providing
Q warning, without necessarily terni-
mating the bidding.
No-Trump Psychics.
This is the reason why no-trump
psychics are SO unwieldy and so dan
Rerous. If you make no-trump psychic
bid. and your partner has a giant hand,
he has to put you on the spot because, If
he is unable to bid suit, he can offer

Singing Animals Of the Sea.

Not long ago I had . talk with q
professor from the University Of Lon
don who had crossed the Atlantic to At
tend q convention Of scientists. He gave
q lecture before the convention and de-
scribed "a machine which he had used
to test the speed with which nerve i'm
pulses travel to the brains Of different
animals. After the lecture asked him
which animal tested on the machine
had shown the slowest nerve response.
"The Portuguese man Of war;" he re-
piled.
The professor was not speaking Of q
vessel belonging to any navy! He re-
ferred to strange animal which Is
found in the Gulf Of Mexico and other
tropical waters. Its CAIN to being able
| to fight arises from the fact that 1t has
long tentacles which can be used for
singing small fish or other prey which
it may desire to eat. In some cases
these tentacles are more than three
feet long.
Among the relatives of the Portu-
guese man Of war are members OF the
jellyfish family.
Once upon a time I learned that a
| jellyfish is able to sting, and the way I
learned it was very simple. During a
swim in the ocean, picked one up. My
nerves told me, with little delay, that I
| had made q mistake!
Luckily the jellyfish with which be-
came to well acquainted was a small
one. The sting left no lasting mark on
me, except in my memory; but more
than one person bathing or swimming
in the ocean has been stung so severely
as to make his skin look as If it had
been burned Fishermen who drag in
jellyfish nets, along with real fish,
sometimes feel the hurt Of the sting.
About 80 per cent of the body Of q
jellyfish is composed Of water. 1t has
no bones and no shell The jelly, how
ever, has an opening on the under sur
face; and this opening serves as q
mouth.
The bodies Of most jellyfsh are al
most as clear as window glass, but some
are colored.
These animals differ widely in size.
Sometimes the body has q width Of
only few inches. but In other cases 1t
is several feet wide.
The giant "blue jellyfish" Of the
North Atlantic has width of from two
to five feet. The tentacles which hang
down from the body are Of great length;

the vegetables. and even spoon feeds
the child. That is cruel. Often have
met with the ver-conscientious mother
who was trying to make her child self
helpful before the time. Once he is able
to land a spoonful of food in his mouth,
his mother thinks 1t is her duty to make
him feed himself without help. That
is not the best way. The little one
gets too tired. Let him try once or
twice. then let him rest while you feed
him a few spoonfuls. Let him have the
last try, If possible, every meal. Praise
him for the effort and send him on
with the notion that he is growing ev-
cry day.
Try to give him service set that fits
his size. 1t is very difficult for child
to handle q full-size fork or spoon. His
cup ought to be easy to handle, not too
big and too slippery. His chair and
table If you can manage the matter,
are small, cut down to his size, so that
he feels at home with them. A child
can use things to his own size without
fatigue, when the full-size ones are too
much for him.
Feeding child is like everything
else-not too much at a time. not too
fast. just enough to keep him trying
and growing.

"On Which Side Ones Bread Is

"You needn't worry about him." was
the remark, "he knows on which side
his bread Is buttered" It means that
he knows what is good for him in the
sense that he knows where his interests
lie. We feel flavor Of disparagement
in the remark used in this way about
another person, for it implies that that
person is prepared to do what is polite
and in his own interest.
