There were several of this name
who decided to cast their lot among
the brave Puritans who settled in
New England in the early part of
the seventeenth century. John Ban
croft was perhaps the first to come;
he arrived in Massachusetts in 1882
a few years after the first Pilgrim
settlement there. He lived only a
short time after coming to America,
his death occurring in 1887 at Lynn,
Mass. He left two sons, John and
Thomas.
Another early settler in New Eng
land bearing the name of Bancroft
was Roger, who was living in Cam
bridge in 1886. He was made a
freeman in 1912.
There are a great many Bancrofts
living in various parts of the coun-
try today, many Of whom are de-
scendants Of these early founders.

Third Assistant Postmaster General
Clinton B. Eilenberger is entitled TO a
vote of gratitude for his order Of July
IL on the surreptitious removal Of
postage stamps from mail in transit.
The text. published In the Postal Bull
letin, was as follows: Although warn
ings have been repeatedly given
against the removal of postage stamps
from matter while in the mails. the
practice is still INDUCED in. particu-
larry in the case OF rare or uncommon
stamps desired by collectors
Matter from which postage stamps
are removed during transit Is likely to
be charged with postage due when It
reaches the Office Of address. This
causes criticism and infiicts unwar-
ranted loss and hardship on the ad-
dresses by the collection of postage
which has already been paid, as well
as annoyance and disappointment be-
cause of failure TO receive the desired
stamps.
THE unlawful removal Of stamps
from mail. whether foreign or domes-
tic, and regardless of the manner in
Grated. The penal statute, embodied
in section 1922, postal laws and regu-
lations, makes ii an offense punish
able by a fine or imprisonment. or
both, to remove postage stamps from
mail. All instances coming TO atten-
ton will be thoroughly investigated,
with the view of causing such action
to be taken against the guilty parties
as will lead 10 the application Of the
penalty prescribed by law for such Of
fense.
Let all concerned cooperate In
eliminating this abuse"

yet he might not be able to keep the
bidding open for you. Change one of
the small hearts to small club, how
ever. and the hand should be opened
with one heart. Now your partner
needs both the spade queen and the
club king at least for game. With
a king and a queen he will keep the
bidding open with one no trump.
Fifth. Pre-empting anywhere but
third hand.
have always believed that pre-
emptive bids shut cut no one but your
partner. In third-hand position there
might be more excuse for one, since
your partner has already passed origi-
nally, but 1t would be best to avoid
them altogether.
Sixth. Bidding unsound original no
trumpS.
Since the original one is one of the
gilt-edge bids in my system, this sin
also needs no explanation.
Seventh. Playing hand at two no
trumpS.
In duplicate. two partners who have
| only eight taking tricks between them
might be forced into playing a hand
at two no trumpS rather than two in
a suit, because two no trumps counts
70 points, whereas two in suit counts
| only go points. Almost invariably
however, hand should be played at
one no trump or three in a suit.
Moreover, playing hand in two no
trumps indicates that you have prob
ably passed a strength-showing bid
] from your partner. Either bid for the
ro-trump game or choose the suit
declaration.

Y hundreds of times These ex-
Il presSions have cdhne down to
us from me early fifteenth
century, when the only popular form
Of dramatic expression was the mo-
rality play. Man or mankind was be-
sieged by seven sins and protected by

outneSs Stalked manfully around the

beetle-browed villains of that age.

after Shakespeare but the same seven
sins, aided and ahetted by couple of
new ones, are still roaming about the
world. Ask any bridge player about
The sins that are committed in the
name of contract bridge and he will
still be talking come next Michaelmas
day.
In compiling the seven deadly sins
of bidding I have purposely left oTN
inherent faults, such as overbidding
and undertaking kindergarten mis-
takes are also omitted. The following
sins are committed by all good bridge
players. Naturally, the last ones are
more applicable 10 my system.
First. Making weak overcallS.
Any overcan at the one or two level
that results in set of three tricks
or more is a deadly sin. Overcalling
on four-card suits comes under this
category. It is Just sheer luck if you
turns up with either a fine rescue suit
or good trump support.
Second Passing a force.
The one-over-one is a forcing bid.
After having made a first or second
hand psychic, most players will pass
q one-over-one where they would
hesitate to pass a jump bid in an
other suit. Because the one-over- -one
may be merely a simple response they
take the chance that it may in this
case indicate q power house. AS a
result, the responding hand. knowing
that the opener has bid a psychic
(otherwise the hands would be a
spread for eight tricks), has to force
the issue by bidding game immedi-
ately when he is not sure which suit
is the correct declaration.
Third. Generalization TO psychic
bids.
This deadly sin needs no explana'
ton. Naturally a stupid succession
of psychic bids defeats its own pur'
pose. Your partner loses all conf
dence in you.
Fourth. Shading original two anC
three bids more than one trick.
Occasionally q forcing bid may vel
be shaded one trick. For example
take the following hand:
Spades Xxx Diamonds
Hearts X IxxxX Clubs 10
The hand actually has four IoSinl
tricks, but should be opened witt
three hearts. II your partner ha
