EXPERTS PLAY 1T -

The best bid is a Jump shift bid
IN spades-namely, q declaration of
three spades. This is a bid of one
more than Is necessary and informs
partner that the bidding must con-
tinue until q game Is reached. South
would pass and now West must not
rebid his weak heart suit, but, as his
heart suit has tenace position, and
also the club suit, he can safely go
to three no trump even though he
holds a singleton spade.
It does not generally pay to bid
three no trump when holding sim
gleton in partners suit unless you
have side compromising strength
which West has. AS long as West
has elected to bid only three no
trump, after the Jump force shift
forcing bid, East should not become
too optimistic on the hand and at
tempt to bid any more, but should
be content to play the hand at three
no trump.
The Play
With q diamond opening, West
will 60 up with the ten spot and will
make five no trump. At one table
North opened a club which gave C..
E. Gum Of Cleveland, who was sit
ting in the West, four club tricks and
he was able to develop a squeeze on
the South hand thereby making six
no trump.

The Bidding

The Bidding
South, the dealer, must pass. West
does not have sufficient strength to
open the bidding second hand and
passes. While North is third hand
and might desire to put in psychic
diamond bid, I don't believe it adj
visable with this type Of holding as
there is no combination Of cards that
partner could hold to which this
hand can be of any assistance. Both
majors are wide open and in case
partner gets in the lead against an
opponents contract, you certainly
don't want diamonds led through
your king jack Therefore, 1t Is q
good third hand pass.
East is fourth hand and has quite
a powerhouse. His original bid
should be one spade which South
would pass. West overcalls with two
hearts, and North passes. East has
a very fine hand-he has made a
fourth hand opening bid. His next
bid must convey to partner the in
formation regarding this strength.
To bid two spades would be consid-
cred as a sign-off by partner. A
bid Of three no trump might stop
the bidding at the wrong spot.

BY WIN. E. MCKINNEY

Secretary, American Bridge League
The most important thing to learn
when playing the one over one sys-
tenn of contract bidding Is the Diff
ference between q constructive bid
and a sign-off bid, due to the fact
that third and fourth hand may
open much weaker than first or SEC
ond in this system which may seem
confusing to those who have played
a system in which just the opposite
is true. One thing that must be re-
membered is the fact that partner
opens third or fourth hand does not
necessarily mean that he is not per-
mitted to hold more than a mini
mum. Take, for example, the follow
ing hand which was played in q du-
plicate championship match:

there each year from smallpox than
in any other country on earth. How
solicitous they all are about our health.
How they do love to squirt the virus
into our old bodies-and young bodies
too, and how afraid the appropria-
ton will not be sufficient TO enable
them to eradicate all disease from
this mundane sphere. It IS amusing
to hear the howl some Of them put up
and the assertions some make about
death dealing germs. If one will con-
slider how long this puss punching,
serum squirting has been going on,
one would almost swear that every
germ that was not fireproof would be
sitting out on the back fence singing
"drived from home" but such is not
the case. That old grim reaper
seems able to do business at the same
old stand, and despite the fact that
we now have reSurrected the old
county board Of health-and no doubt
will soon have a township board Of
health-people do die.
In my estimation, this whole health
business hinges on whether or not
you dig up enough dough to get the
attention Of doctor and. regardless
of whether or not we have a board
of health and nurses, with plenty of
stenographers, If one gets doctor,
one will have to pay for the service
outside of these boards. If the mat
ter Is not taken in hand while it can
be handled, it will not be long before
We will have a board of health in
cash township. well paid by the
county commissioners, and a good
nurse to call on one just as often as
one has pain, and no one will ever
die. What time we old buffers will
have when We can look the old grim
reaper square in the face and tell
him to do his damnedest: that he
cannot injure us because we are paid
up In the matter of health boards.
We can then say with impunity, "Oh
death, where is thy sting? Oh grave,
where is thy victory?" It's simply
another way Of attending to other
peoples business under the guise of
humanitarianism.
We would treat our representative
to a good dinner If he, along with a
majority of his fellow members of
the legislature, would refuse to make
any appropriation for any board of
health. state, county or township, and
throw all upon their own resources
as far as health is concerned, and
then let us all stand back and watch
the germs reap their rewards. It's
just another way of marketing grad
yates from medical colleges, regard
less OF their fitness. # they are good
enough they can work without SAL
airy. None of the Mayo clinic are on
any board of health but despite that
fact they get results.

ii AOUOh QUESIlON
Dickinson, N. D.,
Dec. 80, 1882.
Editor, Tribune:
Your editorial on the moratorium.
You are correct in your views that
debtors and creditors should get to-
gether and adjust their matters with
out the necessity of postponement
OF time Of payment by moratorium,
but at the same time there are many
creditors who resort to legal methods
OF forcing payment or dispossessing
who deserve some sort Of stop order
Take. for instance, the foreclosure
OF farm mortgages or contracts on
farms. If farmer owes some indi-
vidual who holds the mortgage or
contract you will find there is not
SO much difficulty in getting to-
gether. This individual usually is
human and wants the farmer to con-
tinue on the place and shows a dis
position to let him stay and try ia
pay out.
But. on the other hand, If the cred
itor Is a bank, especially an institu-
ton outside of North Dakota, there
seems to be a rule set by them to
foreclose or cancel and throw the
farmer off the land and under no
consideration to rerent back to him
thinking that they will arouse him
to unusual efforts or wake him up to
the realization that he is losing his
place and by some magic he may
get the money and redeem.
However, one knows that q mort.
gage Of any small size will, If fore.
closed. take the place these days and
that foreclosures and cancellation
are pushed rather relentlessly By
these nonresident banks. They bene.
fit themselves none at all and work
a hardship that, If not discontinued
will result in bitter feeling that
will grow into a rebellious spirit Of
retaliation Of some kind. With sucl
methods. they are chasing people out
OF a home which has been their pride
and hope for years past and replac.
ing them with someone else, chased
out Of another place. It would be 3
surprise II there could exist the same
mutual relations in the future be-
tween these land owners who an
thus converted into tenants.
The notice through the press tha
banks would be 50 considerate ant
withhold in foreclosures Is more o.
less . myth, you might say in mos
cases the untruth.
When people lose their homes
through no fault OF their own b!

some comeback later on.

Handled Jobs So as Not to
High Hat Workers,
Claims GreenIee.

Democracy, and not dictatorship,
caused Governor Paul V. McNutt to
handle some 5000 state jobs
through his office, instead of
through the Democratic state or
ganization, it was explained today
by Pleas E. Greenlee, McNutt's Sec
rotary, who has handled the
patronage.
They would get the false impress
sion that we were trying to high
hat them if we didn't give them
personal interviews" Greenlee de-
clared. IF it were not for that,
the method OF requiring applicants
for jobs to go through their local
political organizations would have
been more satisfactory"
There still are about $50 jobs left
in the statehouse, highway depart
ment, and state institutions, Green
lee said. From now on, they will be
handled through the local organi-
cations. This is designed to diSpersc
the huge crowds of deserving
Democrats which have assembled
daily at the Governors office the
last three months.
The milling crowds have made
entrance on other business almost
impossible and brought criticism to
the administration.
Equalization among counties will
be attempted with the remaining
jobs, Greenlee asserted, Marion
county is credited with the largest
amount, 31O but protests are regis
tered daily by local politicians who
want more.
