CHAPTER VIII

AS Doris was beginning to feel
sleepy, Rocky's advice seemed hardly
as necessary as he thought
She dozed, vaguely conscious at In
tervals of tools dropping and the whir
OF the motor.
Doris started and awoke. She half
sat up. An old man who looked as
II he might have been one OF the
founders of the village into which they
had strayed was watching her from
under his pushed-back hat
She thought he was going to say
something but discovered that he was
chewing. He had dark quizzical eyes
that dropped family at the corners.
He must be over eighty. He kept pinch

is simply q slam invitation and shows partner control of two suits. North knows that the hand is not going to be played at no trump because his partner has shown two suits and he will un- doubtedly desire to play tho hand at one of these suits.
 Now the Small Slam
 With the information that his partner has control of two suits, it Is now immaterial to South which two suits he holds control over. South further knows that his part ner does not hold normal support in either of the majors as he has failed to support either of them. however, Norths bid of four no trump does show that his hand is not void of either suit and un- doubtedly does not contain q sin- gleton of either suit.
 With this information. the safest suit for South to select at which t0 play the hand would be hearts therefore, his next bid should be six hearts. North should not try for the grand slam as the bidding clearly indicates that both hands contaia a losing club.
 It so happens that South can maIe n sms.l siam at either hearts or spades as the ace of clubs is inc only trick that East and West com win.

The members were much in- terested in a first edition of Tho reau's "Excursions," published in 1866, which Mir Stoddard brought with him.

tricks. When holding two strong suits the longer suit must be bid first. For example let us take the following hand:
 Opening tho Bidding
 South can normally expect to lose a spade, diamond and q club He has Il right to figure that the heart suit will break, and of course is depending upon the best possible distribution when he counts only one losing spade trick. Therefore, with a strong two suit CT, South cannot be criticized for opening with an original two bid. However, under no circumstances would l ever recommend an open ing two bid with anything weaker than this hand. And 1 would not complaint if my partner were to open this hand with a one bid.
 In response to the two heart bid, North immediately knows that there Is a slam in the hand. His partner has told him that he has but three losing cards. He further knows that q two bid says, Part ner l have q powerful hand but want your assistance in selecting the proper declaration at which the hand should be played" therefore North knows that his partner has another bid. It cannot be no trump because North holds too many high card tricks. Then 1t is a second suit, which Is undoubtedly spades. With this in mind. North should make the bid that will make 1t as easy as possible for partner to show his distribution in case there ls a grand slam in the hand. This best response is three diamonds. It is positive response and keeps the bidding low
 After three diamond South will bid three spades. After opening with an original two bid you must never jump the bid unless 1t is into a slam. North should bid four no trump---this bid of four no trump

1.-THE BITTER TEA OF GEN. YEN" AND "TIIAT'S MY BOY" AT STATE; "THE MUMMY" COMING SATURDAY.


 "The Bitter Tea of General Yen" starring Barbara Stanwyck and Nils Asther, heads the current dou- ble feature program at Warmers State. The picture moves against q background of nights of per- fumed silence, of bewitching Oriental moonlight, under which the clashing cultures of two races fight out a never-ending battle for the supremacy of their love. Against this conflict, the wild ex- citement of civil war in China that seethes around Miss Stanwyck and Asther pales in comparison.
 Frank Capra, who recently com pleted that screen epic of present. day banking conditions in Amer lea, American Madness" has achieved a picture that Hollywood as Q whole feels proud to lay claim to. Supporting Miss Stanwyck and Asther, Columbia assigned the most capable cast to be found, including Walter Connolly and Toshia Mori.
 The companion feature, 0 great mother and son drama, is That's My Boy" featuring Richard Crom- well with Dorothy Jordan and Mae Marsh. Saturday brings the great est super-shocker ever to reach the talking screen, in "The Mummy"
