stating, "Of my two suits, hearts
and diamonds, hearts is the strong
er. 1 prefer to play the hand as a
game in hearts,
The re-bid of hearts is a sign
off bid. However, it is not a game
sign-off bid, due to the fact that the
partnership already has agreed that
they will go game. Therefore, what
is the original bidder attempting
to state?
Simply that he is only interested
in game and not slam. How
ever, if he we're to respond with
four hearts, remember there was no
necessity of him jumping to game.
Therefore, the jump to four hearts
is an additional constructive bid and
states: Partner, not only am I in
terested in game in this hand, but
I also would like to try for a slam
if you have any additional values.
However, remember that this
fifth constructive bid is not fore
ing bid-it simply is slam invita-
ton.
Here is another interesting ex-
ample. The original bidder opens
with one heart. The left hand OPP
ponent overcalls with one spade, the
partner of the original bidder now
bids one no trump.
This bid of one no trump is not
sign-off bid. The sign-off bid
would have been to pass, as the
bidding has been kept open for
partner and there is no need to put
in the bid of one no trump unless it
is constructive. Therefore, it be-
comes the second constructive bid

TN my two previous articles I ex-
L planned to you that the second
constructive bid, unless forcing
bid, is not in itself forcing.
However, the third constructive
bid becomes a forcing bid. and it is
after the third constructive bid that
the partner must be extremely care
full.
If his response is constructive.
then the partnership has decided
to go a game If he is not prepared
to go to game, he should make a
sign-off bid, and the only sign-oft
bid that he can make is to re-bid
any suit previously bid by the
partnership
Now let us take up few exam
pies.
The original bidder bids one
heart-partner responds with two
clubs, a constructive response. The
original bidder then bids two dia-
monds. This is the third construc-
tive bid and it therefore is forcing.
Partner then responds with two
no trump. This bid of two no
trump is not sign-of bid, due to
the fact that partner did not bid
no trump to sign the hand off at
his first opportunity. Therefore, it
must be treated as a constructive
bid

ATOW the original bidder knows
IN that he and his partner must
not pass until game contract is
reached

women Of great learning unless
they, themselves, are famous
scholars. A very learned woman
better keep her information
under cover-until after mar
riage. No man in his senses, of
course, ever fell in love with a
woman'S brains first. He is first
attracted by her personality, but
if she does not pretty quickly
show intelligence about equal to
his own, he usually looks else
where.
3. No, I do not think so, but
they had an unusual number of
families of extraordinary intelli-
gence. Their intermarriage, I
think produced that marvellous
array of geniuses known as the
galaxy of Grecian greatness. &"
I think the average ancient
Greek was about as intelligent
as the average American. Sir
Frances Cation, English founder
of Eugenics, after much research,
concluded the great achievements
of Grecian genius which left so
notable an impress upon the
world, we're due to only about
500 families.

l. Yes, if they are the kind Of
twins that excite attention and
are poplarly called twins
the kind that are always Of the
same sex and look much alike.
These are known scientifically as
identical" twins-born from one
germ-cell The other kind are
not much noticed and are termed
"fraternal" twins-born from two
separate germ-cells. They are no
more alike than ordinary broth
ers and sisters. LANCE, German
biologist, found that if an "ident-
ical" twin is a criminal his or
her mate is about 1900 times as
likely to be criminal as is the
case with "fraternal" twins, or
ordinary brothers and sisters Of
criminals. The reason seems to
be that the 'idulticals" are born
with almost identical natures. If
one Identical twin is good the
other is almost sure to be just
as good.

about their own level. Men are
afraid brilliant women will de-
fate their egos. They do not like

DEATH RULING
Hammer Killer May Be Sec

SUNBURY, Pa, Feb. 21.-The last
tribunal to pass on life in prison.
or death in the electric chair. for
Mrs. Mary Stancavage, 40, hammer
slayer of her 7O-year- old husband, is
the state pardon board.
The swarthy Italian American
calmly sits in her cell waiting
news" of whether she must die for
the brutal Staying
Clement Kiselefski. 50, stepson
of the slain man, who now is
serving ten to twenty years for par
ticipating in the crime, has evil
denced little interest in Mary's fate.
Slain by His Bride
Jacob Stancavage. an examiner,
was beaten to death by his bride
and stepson so they could have
his home to themselves" They
endeavored to blame burglars.
Mary claimed witchcraft had
something to do with the murder.
She commended Glenn, a hopeless
cripple who struggles around on
knee-pads, threatened to curse
her with "black-magic' and strike
her blind within six weeks unless
she killed her husband.
Forty-hve days must elapse be-
tween the death sentence and the
date to be set by the Governor for
execution, to allow appeals. Mary,
however, pleaded guilty to the
murder.
Just two years ago the first wo-
man to be executed walked
through the little green door at
Rockview.
Second on Last Mile"
She was Irene Schroeder, blond
sun-girl, who, with Glenn Dauge,
killed Pennsylvania highway
patrolman in attempting to evade
arrest after robbery.
Mrs. stancavage may be the
second Pennsylvania woman to
walk the last mile"
Mitigating circumstances will be
the plea of the Womans attorney
in seeking executive clemency.
They contend she was under the
influence of Kieselefski. The state
contends, however, that she domi-
mated the stepson and planned the
entire crime.

BARRYMORE IN
 "TOPAZE" PALACE

'"ropaze," RKO-Radlo Picture now playing the Palace theater, recommends itself on many counts. Tn the first place, 1t stars John Barrymore. Tn the second, 1t Is a very smooth and brilliant version of the play that was an outstand- ing success in Paris and New York. Then again. 1t is comedy. Brittle. fresh, sparkling and utterly non- scnsical comedy-a thing Barry more does 50 splendidly and so sell dom.
 The story tells how Prof Auguste T'opaze, innocent, naive and of simple soul, is suddenly transplant cd from his classroom to the exag- gerated excitement of the type of drawing room that has spun glass wall paper and in which lounges the enchanting Myrna Loy.
 outwitting the scoundrels who tried to capitalize on his simplicity and honesty, which they mistOok for the lovely Myrna.
 Brilliantly acted. with an exccp- tionally beautiful mounting and expert direction, "Topaze" has q French savor that is distinctly re- freshlng and gay.
 Besides Barrymore, who has never been more delightful. and Miss Loy, who has never been so naive, the cast includes Reginald Mason, Luis Alberni, Albert Cont, Jobyna Rowland, Frank Reicher. Iowden Adams and Jackie Searl. Harry d'Arrast directed with his usual finesse. "Topaze" is rare en- tertainment.
