When you open with a three Did,
your partner, if he holds an ace,
must respond with that suit. If he
holds two aces. he must respond
first with the ace of trump and
then, if the original bidder replies
with no trump. he should next show
his second ace.
For example. suppose you were to
open with bid of three hearts and
partner held the ace Of spades and
the ace of diamonds.
His proper response would be
three spades-even though it were a
singleton of spades.
Now, if the original bidder bid
three no trump, then the partner
must respond with four diamonds,
regardless of the diamond strength,
as long as he holds an ace.
THEREFORE, when this hand
Il was dealt, Sims was not in
terested in simply playing the hand
for a grand slam at spades.
He saw an opportunity to play
the hand at no trump if his part
ner held the ace of diamonds, so
his original bid was three spades.
This forced partner to respond
with any suit in which he holds an
ace. Now if his partner were to
respond with three no trump Sims,
Of course, would play the hand at
seven spades.
However. if partner held the ace
Of diamonds he would respond with
four diamonds, and this IS all the
information Sims needs to arrive at
a contract OF seven no trump.
While the hand presents no play
ing problem, I believe it presents
one Of the most unusual and inter-
esting bidding problems of the
year.

STATE VICTOR
IN CLASH over
CEMENT PRICE
Commission Will Permit
Contractors to Make
Product Purchases.

First round in the cement price
battle Of the state highway COM
mission and cement manufacturers
was won today by the commission
when it announced that 100000 bar
rels OF the 100000 barrels Of ce-
ment it had been planned to buy
will be purchased by contractors, IN
stead Of the state.
The commission action was the
climax of attempts to get bids at
varying prices. On the first at
tempt, cement companies offered
practically the same prices. The
commission rejected all bids and re-
advertised, and required bidders to
make noncollusion affldavits and
provide bonds.
The second set Of bids showed
little price variations.
Contractors Buy Cheaper
In announcing the decision to
have contractors buy the 100000
barrels, James Adams. commission
chairman, said he had information
that contractors have been able to
buy 20 cents a barrel cheaper in
small quantities than the commits
sion, which sometimes purchased
100000 barrels.
The chairman also commented on
the fact that last years base price
at cement factories was 10 cents a
barrel, while this year the price is
S1.20.
Five Companies Get Orders
Five companies. given orders for
10000 barrels each, will provide the
600 900 barrels to be bought by the
state. The companies are:
The Aetna Of Michigan, which bid
from l to 5 cents under other man
ufacturers for northeastern Indiana
delivery.
Louisville Cement Company, with
a factory at Speeds, Ind, which
was held to a bid on $4,000 barrels
to be delivered at Valparaiso, Ind,
despite an error by which it offered
a low price.
Other companies are the Lehigh
of Mitchell Ind; Lone Star, Lime
dale, Ind, and Universal, Buffing-
ton, Ind.

An original three bid is a forcing
