Conquering Contract
BY p. HAL SIMS

suit, but has about a trick and nan
or a little more scattered over an even
ly distributed hand; or
2. Though having a five-card suit, ne
has sufficient distributed strength to
desire the hand to be played in three
no trlmps and does not consider 1t
necessary to prepare the way for any
safety refuge in contract for partial
score.
Whichever of these alternatives may
apply, YOU have no reason to evade no
trumps after your partner has raised
you to two, and nothing can be gained
by bidding your hidden suit for the
enemys benefit. You can be sure that
if you bid it, your partner viii take you
to three no trumps, which Is almost
sure to be your best destination. Ii IL
Is not, that is more likely to be because
you have bid no trump when you
should have bid your suit, than because
your partner has deceived you by his
response. Generally you will find that
even II the hand should play trick
better in the suit, you will pick up that
trick or more in the play at no trumps
in consequence of the stronger hand
being concealed instead of being ex-
posed as dummy, and from the op-
ponents' leads of discards.

Bid a no trump with this hand. II
the response is two no trumps, bid
three no trumps, not three spades. If
you can make four spades, you can
probably make at least as many no
trumps. If your partner bids two clubs,
bid two no trumps. 1t is to be hoped
that he can now bid three no trumps
for you. but If his hand is so weak that
his next bid Is the dreary warning con-
veyed by three clubs now bid three
spades. He knows that this denotes a
five-card suit headed by tops, plainly
far superior to his club suit. II his
clubs were as good as this, he should
have bid three no trumps, not three
clubs.
New Light, New Courage.
If he still CONSIDERS a game contract
undesirable, he should pass your three
spades. However, with
Sp. Jxx Di. xxxx
Hts. CT. K xxx
he would be craven not to bid four
spades in view Of this fresh informa-
ton; while with
Sp. TX Di. Q xxx
Hts; Xxx Cl K xXxx
he should bid three no trumps. There
must be a fine play for it, and at worst
you cannot be set severely. The enemy
has only hearts to work with-and the
opening bidder can win at least one
trick in that suit

p ESENTMENT long has been smol-
~ dering on Capitol Hill in regard to
the reduction in allowances to veterans
under the national economy act. Cfrcu-
lation of the round robin, originally
signed by six Republicans who served
in the World War, protesting adjourn
ment of Congress until "the President
has reversed his position" has been q
factor
One of the principals in this move
ment Is young and outspoken Repre-
sentative from Kansas named Harold
McGugin. Others are Senators Reed Of
Pennsylvania and Steiwer Of oregon
and Representatives Fish of New York,
Swick of Pennsylvania and Bolton Of
Ohio.
McGugin's connection with the case
is interesting. He was one Of the five
men in the House appointed by the
Speaker to consider the Presidents re-
quest for authority to issue rules and
regulations respecting the veterans pay
ments.
His vote was cast in that committee
for the President Furthermore, he
voted against the cash payment of the
bonus and declares that now he is op-
posed to the bonus payment.
McGugins grievance against the
President is that he believes grave in
justices are being done to the disabled
veterans. This is perhaps the principal
objection raised by all the others.
Each Senator and Representative is
getting scores Of letters daily from the
folks back home. Soon they will be
returning to their homes themselves
and the pressure put to them may be
terrific.

Jenny didn't return. Johnny began to

He flew over to Farmer Browns house

her at the back Of the house. He flew

was tiny guimpe with puffed sleeves and
gathered neck. The linen dress but
toned with two round green buttons
which slipped through welt button

The binding on the guimpe was the

And the guimpe was made of sprigged

welt buttonholes were not hard to make.
Nancy followed the directions. First, she
marked the place where the buttonhole
was to be. A small piece of material is
cut and stitched in place. The stitch

Everyday Psychology
BY Oh. JESSE ". sPRowLs.
Who Should Hypnotizef

am often asked to say whether or
not novice at the game should at
tempt to hynotize some one. My answer
is mo" No, despite the fact that every
hypnotist must at some time be
novice.
Any one who attempts to hypnotic
another should first Of all have q
thorough knowledge Of mental mechan-
isms. In addition to this, the would-be
hypnotist should have observed the in
duction of artificial sleep many times
before he or she makes the attempt.
OF course. there are no very real or
at least lasting injuries likely to result
from any attempted or completed ex-
pertinent. On the other hand. any form
Of suggestion may in some persons be
followed by other than wholesome re-
suits. And hypnotism Is nothing other
than suggestion, pure and simple. Many
q harmful suggestion has been lodged
in the mind of q person under condi-
tions other than that Of actual hypno-
tism.
Hypnotism has no real place in men
tai life except for the purpose of Illus
trating the processes of mental life.
Hypnotism, as such, should be con-
fined to scientific circles and attempted
only by those who are able to recognize
the physical symptoms of artificial
sleep. And what IS more important, 1t
should be attempted only by those who
know what sort Of suggestions to offer
the subject when asleep.

GUN
EVENT. FRIDAY

An Inaugural event Of sporting
Importance will be staged by the
Washington Gun Club as part Of
the Capital City's inaugural en-
tertaintnent. On Friday, March
3, the club will give a registered
tournament, with a 1888 Chev-
rolet automobile as the first
prize. A number of other valua-
BILE prizes also will be awarded
on the program.
The shoot is conducted on the
distance-handicap system, in
which the contestants stand at
distances of from 16 to IS yards
from the traps which release
the targets, the yardage Of each
shooter being determined by his
registered average and known
ability, both at 16-yard and han
dicap targets.
A number of trapshooters Of
national reputation have commu-
nicated with President Parker
Cook and Secretary Morgan, ex-
pressing intention of being on
hand to have a try at their IA
vorite sport, and incidentally
with the determination Of driv-
ing home a new Chevrolet.
The grounds Of the washing
ton Gun Club are among the
most attractive in the East, with
a fine clubhouse, low trap-houses
and a sky background, so that
the shooters have an unimpeded
view of the whirling discs as
they are thrown at unknown
angles from the four traps.
The club grounds adjoin The
plant of the Potomac Electric
Power Company, near Benning;
no admission is charged. and
the public is invited to witness
an interesting sports event.

RyderCupG

By GEORGE A. SIMPSON


The selection of the United
States Ryder Cup golf team
which goes abroad this June to
match strokes with Britain's pros
met with general support Of the
District paid clan.

the choices and all praised the

Idea for Amateurs
1t might be a good idea for the
United States Golf Association to
follow the same course in choos-
ing the 1888 U. S. Walker Cup
team, which invades England
next summer for the bi-annual
amateur series.
Last year, it will be recalled,
the amateur chieftains named
their team months in advance of
the competition and there was
general dissatisfaction because
Johnny Goodman and Gus More.
land were overlooked. The com.
plants chiefly arose from the
home sectors of these lads, the
Middle West and Southwest. OF
course, Moreland was summoned
after capturing the Western anna
teur, taking the place Of one of
the original nominees who had
been taken ill.
Goodman Again
Goodman, too, would probably
have been appointed had the na-
tlonal amateur championship
taken place in the spring instead
OF September. Even at that,
Goodman's consistent' play in the
last few years deserved an as
Slgnment on the Walker Cup
team, but the amateur-minded
golf fathers treat Goodman as a
cancerouS subject for reasons
known only to themselves.
