I would bid five no trumps. II my
club holding were @ x, would bid four
no trumps Immediately, as this bid
would picture my high cards in all four
suits far better than a bid of four
diamonds.
Missing three kings and two queens,
there can be little doubt that the OPEN
er holds three aces and a long suit
from which my hand will eliminate any
loser or finesse-to work with. If his
hand Is short-Suited, he probably has
all four aces. otherwise he can hardly
have had reason to bid more than one

A Two No Trump Hand From Actual
Play.
Although I do not advise this bid
with an unprotected suit, I do some
times take a chance with three little
cards in a suit, provided the rest of
the hand is very strong, especially when
I have long suit to lead out and
may hope to profit by refraining from
bidding that suit. I am prepared to
assume reasonable gamble for game

The leader opened his fourth best
heart, having four to the queen. His
partner won the trick, but did not re-
turn the suit. Knowing that only four
hearts could be taken, he hoped to set
up a setting trick for his partner, while
perhaps also saving him from an end
play or fatal lead from a tenace.
Therefore, seeing the diamond weak
ness in dummy, he led the jack from

tricks, making four-odd. When the
opening bid was diamond, the partner
became the declarer in three no
trumps; West laid down his king of

seeing the strong hand exposed, obeyed

A N April FOOLS party should be
~ full Of fun and prankS. but
~ should be minus tricks or games
4 a which have any tendency to
harm or intimidate. Practical
jokes can be played provided they are
devoid of these elements. Sometimes
these jokes are delightful, doing the
person a good turn. not an annoying
one. Amusement should run high. This
year, when there have been many
puzzling problems to cope with, the
idea of festivity based on tricks and
jokes has an especial appeal. Laughter
and fun are always especially needed
in times of stress. April first affords
an excellent opportunity to make
merry.
Finding partners can be given a sur
prising twist by having four letters Of
some five-letter word written on the
back of half the cards. These cards
are given the men, The women have
cards each one of the omitted letters
on it. The words should be very simple
and of not more than five letters For
example If the word Is April, the letters
on the card can be PAIL, the letter
r being omitted. Or should the word
be first the letters on the card can be
RIFT. Or again If the word is fools
the letters may be SOLO, the F
being omitted. The problem is to find
the word and then, from the large let
tiers passed to the girls. to choose the
correct one to complete it, thus secur-
ting a partner.
This makes a jolly start as the girls
neanwhile are trying to find out in
what word their letters belong. and so
each group gets acquainted with the

Important persons, as a rule. are not

the more he devises ways and means

It has been said that these people are

the first rattle of the food bucket.
Again, 1t has been suggested that
promptness is sort Of nervous dis

happen these overprompt people get
worked up over the impending event.
Consequently, their charged nerves
carry them to the scene Of activities

United States. The conflict in the
retail drug business extends gen.
orally through cities and towns.
The legislation by Congress fur
tion can be whipped into wartime
condition in a "jiffy", as was
done during the war, has another
think coming. There are conflict
ing interests in every industry.
Some of them produce goods and
products Of excellent quality for
which they have always received
large prices. Others are the price,
cutters, and chains, that are not
so particular about quality. One
group employs labor on fair terms;
the other exploits human beings
and hires them as cheaply as pos
sible. Some industries have plenty
of capital, others are practically
"broke." In such industries there
are groups as far apart as Bap-
lists and Unitarians.
To get together on code is go
ing to be impossible with many
of them. That's why the powers
given by Congress to the President
are certain to be invoked for the
control of many industries. Min
imum wages and maximum work
ing hours and fair trade practices
cannot be obtained in some indus
tries except with club. There is
no doubt but what there is a "big
stick in the White House. It will
likely be used.
Drugs and Druggists
The National Recovery program
supposedly carries with it "a new
opportunity for self-government,"
according to an official statement.
Many of the industries are find
ing a good deal of difficulty in re-
adjusting their affairs to meet the
complicated conditions. For in
stance there are sixty-seven chem
ical, drugs and allied organizations
and they shelter the most terrific
ally competitive industries in the

highway, and the garage put an
end to the livery stable. Railroads
beached the canal boat and motor
buses eliminated the trolley car.
The electric light dimmed the ker-
osene lamp and the electric refrig-
orator put rust on the iceman's
tongs.
But these changes came through
open competition and economic de-
yelopment. All these "new indus
tries" proved they were going,
necessary concerns, and except in
the case of grants of land to rail-
roads there was little government
support or subsidy. It would be
quite different for government to
force everyone to use the more ex-
pensivea nd less efficient fuels, to
furnish the alcohol industry with
distilling capacity it will not itself
spend money to build, and to i'm
pose additional taxes upon gaso-
line merely to make a market for
alcohol.
American policy has been to let
each industry stand upon its own
feet. If we start taxing the pro-
ducts of one industry to provide
revenue for the subsidization of
another, we open the door to legis-
lation that will result in govern
ment subsidization of many indus
tries at the expense of the public.
Founding "new industries" could
become q racket, and probably
would.
It looks as If a report of Iowa
State College on this proposed
thew industry in alcohol-blend
motor fuels was about right when
it stated:
"Tn the long view, no industry
should be subsidized or propped
up unless it can show that before
long it can stand on its own feet
without the protection Of any kind.
Any industry that cannot event
ually get along without support
should not be started in the first
place."
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1933-07-20

nishes many opportunities for in
dustries to stabilize their program
and eliminate unfair competition.
The drug industry is furnished an
opportunity to rid itself Of that
part Of its tradsmen that were de-
nounced by President Roosevelt as
the obstructive ten percent prac-
ticing unworthy and unfair trade
methods.
It has been found very difficult
for many Of the industries to sub
NIT trade codes to the government
according to information gathered
by the National Industries News
service, because the very founda-
tons Of industry have shifted in
recent years, and the essential
principles of q square deal, which
is the goal of the recovery act, are
too often found missing.
