scarf collar of flat fur that
slips through itself. the ripply
collars of flat furs that cuddle
softly under the chin. and
the little bits of fur collars
that tie with a perky grosgrain
ribbon bow-to mention only
the most outstanding types.
Choose your collar, and half
your coat problem is solved!
Sleeves are literally out at
the elbows-all the new sleeves
having their fullness come out
at the elbow, leaving the cuffs
tight and narrow. This means
more than you may think,
since sleeve fullness at the
wrist below the elbow is apt
to make the waist look larger,
too!
And as for materials and
colors, there are woolens in

Colors are either very bright

Conquering Contract
-Bv P. HAL SIMS

are quite often played at one no trump
if the opponents refrain from blddlng.
This happens after an opening bid OF
one in q suit, (a) when the responder
says one no trump and opener passes;
(b) when responder makes a uncover
one, opener then bids one no trump,
and responder passes.
Reasons for Opener Passing the No
Trump Takeout.
There have been some misunder-
standings about the signof at one no
trump. A number Of teachers and play
ers studying my system have said: "You
say that when a Sims player opens the
bidding as dealer or in second position,
he must have a natural rebid in his
hand. Why then should he pass the
no trump response? If he has, and
makes a rebid, the contract must neces-
sarily be on the two level"
The misunderstanding is concerned
with the term. natural rebid." The
phraseology I advise Is natural rebld
or rebid material" The latter term is
intended to describe the reserve strength
in the openers hand when it does not
consist of length in the first suit, or OF
a second biddable suit. 1t refers to high
card strength in short-suited hand OF
defensive type. The opener has one
suit to bid, and bids it-but he cannot
rebid it lover one no trump or DID
second suit His ''rebid material" which
is not exactly a reserve" because he
would originally pass If it were removed
from his hand. enables him TO pass
without anxiety if his partners re-
sponse is one no trump; to raise to
three with every confidence If his part
ner's first response is two no trumps;
or, if partner bids another suit, to take
an unashamed part in the bidding by
virtue of not having shaded the re-
uuirementS laid down for an opening
bid with a defensive type OF hand. With
a hand of this kind. the signoft at one
no trump is mutual and natural. The
opening bidder. in deciding to pass the
no trump response. says to himself:
cannot rebid my suit or bid second
suit. My partner, though able to Keep
the bidding open. was not able TO DID
a suit We cannot have game since my
partner could not make a more optl-
mistic and informative response than
one no trump. We have only one bid
dable suit between our two hands; but
we have some distributed high cards.
Plainly one no trump is likely to be as
easy to make as two in a suit-a con-
tract We cannot reasonably reach, any
how, since l cannot rebd my suit. Prob
ably one no trump is less of misfit and
consequently much easier to make than
two in any suit. Therefore. will pass,
and hope the opponents do not enter
the bidding, as l cannot feel confident
of our taking five tricks against their
preferred declaration"

When the General returned he acted
quickly to kremedy the situation. He
moved r. w. Lea. longtime asso-
ciate, into the vacancy created by
Gates resignation, and gave him the
title Of assistant administrator.
That, it Is hoped, will prevent any

Johnson's ailment was nothing more
than a very painful boil. He went
quietly to the Army's hospital here TO
have It treated.
When his absence from N. r. A.
headquarters was noted, questions as TO
the reason were answered with the
simple statement that "he has . boil"

Everyday Psychology
sY DR.. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Music.

Very little is really known about the
psychology of music. That's because
no little is known about the emotional
nature of man. The best we can 40
Is to interpret briefly what some OF our
greatest students Of Nature nave
thought and said.
Charles Darwin gave it as his opinion
that the loss of a taste for music means
not only the loss of happiness but a
yeritable enfeeblement of the intellect.
OF course, Darwin was always looking
for some sort of reversion to pre-human
states of existence.
Another student of human nature,
SuIes Combarieau unfortunately not so
well known. declared that music is
thinking in sounds instead of ideas.
Take the time to think about these
two announcements concerning music.
They seem to mark the upper and lower
limits of human capacities to think.
Music embraces a universally OF ex-
perience. comparable to that of science.
Science deals with the intellectual life,
music the emotional.
Briefly. those who do not care FOR
music need some musical vitamins.
