type contained long suit sufficiently
solid to control the time factor in
conjunction with the protection held
in each Of the other suits. Here again
you wished to play in three no trumps,
provided partner held queen and a
jack, or their approximate equivalent
On such holding he would raise to
three no trumps, and you were pre-
pared for and desirous of a response
on this basis. Otherwise you did not
have a proper two-no-trump bid and
should have bid only one no trump
or one in a suit, according to your
holdings.
Additional Use for o-No- Trump
Opening Bid.
Now that you understand my theory
of opening forcing bids, I want to
introduce another use for the two
no-trump bid-an unusual and, If you
like, an abnormal use for it. That is,
to take the strain off the opening
two and three bids in a suit, or, rather,
to relieve you of any temptation to
shade the requirements for these two
master bids. When you hold a hand
with which you wish to contract for
game, even though partner should
not have the stuff to give you natu-
raj response if you make an opening
bid of one, bid two no trumps, even
though your hand is wide open in
one suit. It is better to risk perplex-
ing your partner with an unsound or,
at any rate, an unusual two-no-trump
opening bid, rather than to endanger
your big hands-and his confidence
in my system and In your partner
ship-by making unsound forcing bids.
Having eight tricks cold as soon as
you get in, one unprotected suit is not
the danger that you might think. as
explained yesterday. After all, if your
partner has nothing, not even enough
to respond to two no trumps, then
you will play at two undoubled, and
it is unlikely that they will run more
than five tricks against you. leaving

THROUGH A .nnanss Eyes
WHAT'S IN THE JOB
By JEAN NEW ON

UTHERE is no harder job In the
 | world than looking after chill dren. don't envy any nurse or goyerness her jeb." --------- - on to mention the various details involved in the care of children. She omitted none. from the petty chores of inspecting finger nails to the necessity for keeping after a child to do homework or practice on the piano.
 And in her viewpoint 1t was all wearing, exhausting. repetitious drudgery that must be resented by all but type of mind without im- agination.
 That reminds me of an old story. You may have heard 1t. but it's a good story anyway. It's story of three stone cutters who were work ing on a large block of granite. A stranger who happened to be pass ing asked the first cutter what he was doing.
 "T'm cutting stone," growled the man.
 He asked the second.
 'I'm working for $7 a day." he replied.
 But the third answered, his face alight:
 I'm building cathedral"
 There was perhaps no damage done in the operation of cutting stone by the attitudes of the first two workmen. The harm involved was to themselves. But those to whom is entrusted the care of chll- dren have in their hands tremen- dous power for good and harm. The material which they will help to mold is precious beyond the worth of all the cathedrals in the world. Only those who have ere ative love for their work and pleas ure in 1t, only those who see in even the petty details the vision of something they are building should ever be permitted into that great sphere of responsibility.
 The care of children does indeed require certain type of mind. But not mind without imagination. On the contrary. the most important qualification for the woman who would acquit herself creditably in caring for a child is an unusual quality of imagination-the ability to realize the important implica- tions in apparently trivial tasks, the cathedral of character that she Is building out of the stone of daily routine.
 The care of a child requires a better person than many types of work that are more varied and far better paid. It requires one with fine qualities of heart and mind, with the artistry to color her daily work with an ideal. Of course, such nurses are rare; such people are rare. My child had the good for tune to know such a nurse, to whom let this be an appreciation. Her name was Emma Wenzel.

The first airplane to cross the ocean in a single flight was a British vickers- -vimy blplane, flown by Capt. John Alcock, pilot. and Lieut.. Arthur w. Brown, navigator. It left St. Johns, N. F.. June IA, 1919, and landed early the follow ing day at Clifton. Galway. Ireland. The British dirigibIe R-34 was the first of It's class to cross the Allan tic.

Sound

Sound is usually defined as the sensation caused by stimulation of the auditory nerves and, according to this definition. there would be no sound unless there was an ear pres- ent to receive the sound vibrations. However, in physics sound is de- fined as the energy which occasions the sensation of hearing. Then, in a physical sense, sound would be present. wherever there were sound waves regardless of whether 1t was actually heard or not.
