SOLUTION TO PREVIOUS CONTRACT PROBLEMS

When contract started, we soon realized that four-card suit bidding was to play an important part in this new game. The old auction ideas had always been to bid the highest ranking suit when hold ing two suits of equal length. How ever, one of the theories given to bridge players in general by that great master player. P. Hal Sims, in his method of handling four card suit bidding.
 Take today's hand. for example. South has enough primary tricks to make an original bid, but he must say to himself. "If I bid spade and by partner bids two

DOUMERGUE SAVES
CABINET IN CRISIS
Premier Demands Renewed
Allegiance in Herriot-
Tardieu Rift.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS. July 24.-Premier CASTOR
Doumergue today averted a govern
mental crisis and the cabinet OF
France remains intact.
The premier came back from his
vacation in the south of France es-
pecially to smooth over the rift in the
government which developed between
former Premiers Edouard Herriot and
Andre Tardieu. now serving as min
isters without portfolio.
He demanded renewed allegiance to
the symbol Of political peace. repre-
sented by the presence Of all parties
In the cabinet.
Charge Brings Split.
Doumergue talked to both Herriot
and Tardieu. who split when Tardieu
allegedly charged the Radical So
cialist party. of which Herriot is a
leader, knew of illegal operations OF
the late Serge StaviSky while they
were going on.
A compromise has been based on
Tardieu's statement that he defended
himself before commission investi-
eating the Stavisky scandal against
charges made by former Premier
Camille Chautemps, also a Radical
Socialist leader, without mentioning
Chautemps' party.
View Is Accepted.
Herriot's acceptance Of this view was
seen in an unsigned editorial in the
radical Socialist party organ, Ere Nou-
velle, saying an examination of Tar
deus testimony shows it "is a per-
sonal battle, as Tardieu said"
Seven radical Socialist ministers
whom Chautemps had urged to with
draw had construed Tardieus attack
as against Chautemps as president of
the party. instead of against Chau-
temps as an individual
Chautemps, however, was fighting
desperately to compel Tardieu to leave
the cabinet, under the threat Of the
resignation Of six radical Socialist
ministers.
