Conquering Contract
BY P. HAL SIMS

This might be the only means to
remove the risk of duplication and get
to a grand slam. With the hands just
given. the bidding should 60: One
spade. three spades, five spades. five no
trumps, six hearts. Partner knows this
Is q void. as he has the ace Of hearts.
That leaves you seven cards In the
minor suits, of which one can be
thrown on his ace of hearts. You
must have the two minor aces to bid
optimistically. That means no losers
in clubs: however. If you have A X x X
in diamonds there may still be loser
In that suit. So he bids only six spades.
Now you know that your queen Of
diamonds has become the key card
to a grand slam, since partners no
trump bid showed both minor kings.
You may safely bid seven spades. the
only danger being three spades to the
queen on your left.
Cue Bids.
A "cue bid'' shows no losers in a
short suit holding-void, ace or A K
alone. I like to defer a cue bid as
long as possible. but at times it Is
the only way to guard against du-
plication and make sure Of the safety
OF a slam-bid. I prefer to use it only
after I have given or accepted a slam
invitation and subsequently bid another
suit The naming Of third suit after
so much bidding can hardly be mis-
taken for anything but cue bid.
Sp. A xxx Sp. X
b b. x ok B: oJxx
CT. XXX CT. x X X
II the bidding goes-one spade,
three spades. four diamonds, five clubs,
then I would bid five hearts. Partner
now knows that we need worry only
about the diamond and club suits, and
that the K Tor ace) Of hearts in his
hand may be of no service. With the
A Of diamonds and A @ x of clubs
he should bid six spades, but with a
singleton heart, A X OF diamonds,
A 9 X Of clubs. duplication is there
and he should sign of at five spades.
Not only is the heart situation dupll-
cation, but also the numerical similar
ity of the diamond holdings, offering
at most one discard.
Cue bids in suit bid by the oppo-
nents will be discussed in later articles.

a DAY
BY BRUCE CATION

A MAN driven to destruction by
IN overwhelming force of cir
cumStance, instead of an ambition
mad egotist ready to sacrifice
everything to his own lust for
glory
That is the picture of Napoleon
Bonaparte sketched in "Napo>
leon" by jacques Bainville, sub
stantial and workmanlike new BIZ
ography of one Of history's most
fascinating figures.
NJ Bainville sees Napoleon as
the son of the Revolution. He was
called to power, he says, because
no other man in France could posi-
bly, save the fruits Of the Revolution
for the French.
Once put in power, he was in the
memorable grip of circumstance; his
every remaining art was fated by
the logic of necessity.
He had become dictator, NJ.
Bainville points out, to do what the
nation asked of him; then he had
to become emperor to make his
position secure.
And France expected, first of all,
that he would hold the conquests
Of the Revolutionary armies, espe-
cially Belgium: so he had to fight
the English, who insisted that Bel
GUM must not be French territory.
After Trafalgar, he had no chance
Of beating England save by his
cumberSon and expensive continent
tai blockade.
To make the blockade work, he
had TO bend all Europe to his will:
and hence came the long series of
wars which he could not have won.

ening biography. this Napoleon"

THOMPSON ATTACKS
LOOSE TALK ABOUT

Superintendent Says Millennium
in School Finance Cannot

WARNS ON FALSE HOPES
Hits Policy Of Playing Politics
With Difficulties Of
Schools
WARNS ON FALSE HOPES

Striking out ut what he termed
much loose talk and propaganda"
as to the immediate benefit schools
would derive from the state sales
tax, Arthur =. Thompson, state SUI
perintendent Of public instruction,
Wednesday Issued q statement de-
clarins I'VE must not expect q mil
lennium In school financing" should
the referred sales tax law be ap-
proved 1t the special election Sept. q.
He stated the net positive replace
ment effect" OF the sales tax on
schools would be about 10 per cent q
year should the law pass, and warned
against the raising Of false hopes
and playing politics with the diff
culties Of schools"
Thompeon's statement reads:
II have been asked to state the eff
feet Of the sales tax on schools. We
must not expect q millennium In
school financing should It pass.
There has been much loose talk and
propaganda as to its immediate bene-
fit to schools. It Is true that schools
In North Dakota as In all states are
badly In need of ready cash. The
department Of public instruction has
worked along the line of facing facts
as they are, and I object to the rails
ing Of false hopes and playing poll
tics with the difficulties Of schools.
Nov, should the sales tax pass
and 100000 per year be available
Is some have estimated, IS. per cent
Or 81 .0O0. 900 would 60 directly into
the state equalization fund. One
half Of this would be distributed on
the basis Of school census. and the
other half on the basis Of need. Ac-
cording to the law, this money would
be distributed once year, on Sept. /.
This direct aid would first be avail
able for the school term, 1034-35. and
may amount to about 10 per cent OF
the total school expense a year. This
would mean about one months school
expense for the year. and may prop
erly be called replacement revenue.
Then, indirectly, those who argue
the point claim 1t will benefit the
situation at the Bank Of North Da-
kota and MAKE available say $780,
coo for buying certificates Of indebt-
edness against outstanding taxes.
This amount. Of course, could not be
considered q replacement tax for 1t
means that districts would 60 into
debt that much more against out
standing taxes. Hence, the net posi-
tive replacement effect Of the sales
tax on schools, should 1t pass, would
be about 10 per cent q year,
