Sidney Lust Issues
Scrip for TheUterS

Sidney B. Lust, owner Of the
Cameo Theater, Mt. Rainier, and
the Arcade Theater. Hyattsville,
announced today that he is fur
nishing scrip books to regular
patrons of those houses, who may
be short of cash owing to the
bank moratorium, in order that
they may attend the shows and
pay for the books when the
banks open.
He said he felt the public
needed entertainment more than
ever at this time and that it
would be short-sighted policy to
close the theaters or to adopt too
stringent a. policy as to cash
admissions.

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 perfect picture of the
hand Where are the three high
card tricks necessary for an open
ing bid in this system?
First of all, ne knew that his
partner must hold the ace and
king of hearts to give him two tricks
there.
He could hold the king of clubs
and the king Of spades to give the
three tricks, or the king and queen
of spades.
The worst possible break that
he could find would be to have his
partner hold just the king and
queen and a small spade and two
clubs and two diamonds, but even
then he would have chance for
the club finesse to make the
grand slam.
If North we're to jump to four
hearts, as he did when this hand
was played, it is true that this is
slam invitation, but don't you
realize that partner with a mini
mum holding now would pass?

II must be remembered that in
L the constructive one over one
system 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 60 to
three no trump or to bid for game
in hearts.
A jump from one heart to four
hearts is not a sign-of bid-it clear
~ states that the assisting hand be-
lieyes that at least five odd can be
made and with additional strength
in the original bidders hand, he is
inviting a slam.
If the original bidder opens with
one heart and his partner jumps
70 two no trump, this also is a
forcing bid
However, there are times when
1t becomes necessary to deviate from
any rule in contract bridge to OBJ
tain the best result, and if player
will stop ana think before making
a mechanical book bid he will find
the game much more interesting.

AS North's hand contains all the
high card tricks, there would be
nothing for South to do but pass.
The better bid is either to force
in another suit or to make a re-
spouse Of three hearts. Person
ally, 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 adj

four hearts, he would be giving in

with this type Of hand.

OPEN GAMBLING
BRINGS FORTUNE
TO HOT SPRINGS
Illegal, but City Gets Its
Share and Visitors Can
Do Their Stuff.
BY BOYDEN UNDERWOOD
United Press STAFF Correspondent

HOT SPRINGS. Ark, Feb. IT.
Gambling is Illegal in Arkansas, but
games Of chance cause a quarter of
a million dollars to chance here
nightly.
No steel doors, or peepholes, greet
the visitor as ne or she enters the
"souths finest gaming rooms. In
laid roulette tables or modernistic
dice tables are the most popular
But faro, blackjack, Russian bank
and other games draw their share.
The only requirement for admit
lance to some Of the clubs is even
ing dress. Race wires run into cigar
stores fitted like stock exchange
ofhce-cushioned chairs and all the
frills.
Good whisky is about the ONLY
luxury the average visitor is unable
to buy. OF course, there is the
bottled in bond but most visitors
drink mountain corn"
Gaming Is Wide Open
That gambling is wide open here
Is proved by front page editorial
IN the Sentinel-Record recently. It
was headed Petty Gambling Must
Stop and said:
There is no disposition or the
part OF the rank and file of citi-
2ens to keep visitors here from
participating in high-class enter
talnment OF chance.
But there is a vast difference
from high-claSs entertainment for
visitors and the lowest forms of
petty gambling that does not appeal
to the visitor, but degrades the youth
of the community and takes from
business interests income that
should rightfully be spent in local
trade

recent beating to death of a man

Jacobs one of the number one

chance and is preparing for a
rushing business.
And, as last year, Jacobs still
laughs at the depression and
asks, What is it?'
But all the winnings are not
split between the players and the
table owner. The city of Hot
Springs get its share. In this
way taxes are lowered. Regular
payments are made to the city by
the gambler.

BY WI. E. MCKINNEY.


MOST no trump contracts are
IVA made up of aces, kings and
queens. However. game seldom can
be made with high cards alone and
a successful game contract requires
intermediate or supporting cards.
Here is hand in which the de-
clarer had neither a predominance
Of high cards, nor a long suit to
run. and the success Of his contract
hinged upon the proper use Of eight
and nine spots.
North and South were vulnerable,
East and West were not. South
and West passed, but North opened
the bidding in third position with
one club. He did not have sufficient
strength to bid one no trump, and
preferred TO bid clubs rather than
spades in order to give his partner
a better opportunity to make a one
Overcome bid.
East overcalled with one heart
and South bid one no trump. West
passed and North showed his sec
ond four-card suit by bidding two
spades. South bid two no trump
and North carried the contract 10
