FIRE CLAIM
RULES MADE
Loss Claims May be Filed
Within Two Years From
August n.
Strict Regulations as to
Eligibles Will be En-
Countered.

Immediately upon passage OF the
northeastern Minnesota fire sufferers
bill in the last session of Congress,
rules and regulations were quickly
formulated by those placed in charge
of administering the claim project.
These rules and regulations have been
prepared by the office of the Comp
troller General of the United States,
according to an announcement made
by Congress man Elmer ]. Ryan Of
South ST. Paul. Congressman Ryan
made his announcement after con-
versatiOn with officials in Washing
ton.
Mr.. Ryan said that under the pro-
visions of the bill the Comptroller
Generals office would pass upon the
claims as submitted and would then
certify them TO the Treasury for pay
ment Claims may be filed within
two years from August p. the date on
which the bill was signed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt who had previously
recommended the bill for passage.
The text of the regulations follows:
The Act of August %. 1885, Private
No 1886. provides for payment 10 those
claimants, the amount of whose loss
on account of fire originating from
the operation of railroads by the Unit
ed States in the State of Minnesota
on or about October y, 1918. has
been determined by court proceedings
or by the Director General of Rail
roads, the difference between the
amount of such loss so determined
and the amount actually paid by the
United States to such claimant. less
any amount paid to such claimant by
any fire insurance company On ac-
count of such fire.
Thus. only claims as to which the
amount of loss has been determined
by court proceedings or by the Direc-
tor General of Railroads may be en-
tertained. and there may now be paid
only the difference between the
amount of loss as so determined and
the amount heretofore paid on behalf
of the United States-less any amount
paid by any fire insurance company
on account of such loss.
Section of the Act provides:
- The Comptroller General of
the United States shall determine the
amount due on any application. and
the person entitled thereto under this
act. and shall certify such determine
tion to the Secretary of the Treasury,
which determination shall be final.
The Comptroller General shall pro
mulgate rules and regulations as to
the identity of claimants. the validity
of assignments. and all other matters
in connection with the determination
of the amounts due and the persons
to whom such amounts shall be paid
under this Act"

Solution to Previous Contract Problem

This is the second of series of six unusual hands played by our present national open pair cham pions. Johnny Rau and Charles Lochbridge, both of New York.
 One of the strongest points in favor of these champions is their biddings. You can make up your mind, if there is a suit in which the hand can go game, that these two boys will find the spot.
 In explaining his bidding of to- days mand. Rau says, My heart overcall over partners bid of one diamond was made in case my partner had a four-card major suit. I am trying to find a fit, as both of my major suits are weak
 "If it elect to bid one spade in stead of a heart. my partner may not be able. to bid two hearts.
 'If I bid one heart and he does have a weak four-card major. he will show 1t.
 II will admit that four hearts is very optimistic contract to reach. on this hand"
 Rau also explained that he thought his partners bid of two hearts showed at least four-card heart suit and that, with his two bulls" his pet expression for aces. he figured 1t was worth encourag- ing game; so he bid three hearts. Lochridge, of course, now figured his partner for q five-card heart

suit and raised the contract to four.
 The Play.
 Here's the way. the hand was played. West opened the queen of spades, Rau allowed the trick to hold and West continued with the ack of spades. South won with the ace.
 A small spade was trumped iR dummy with the four of hearts. Then a small diamond was played and won with the ace.
 Now South led n club and finesS- ed the queen, which held. The king of diamonds was cashed and then a small diamond ruffed with the three of hearts.
 The remaining spade was ruffed in dummy with the eight of hearts the ace of hearts cashed, and then the ace of clubs played. Rau then led the ack of diamonds.
 East had the king and queen Of trump and the ack of clubs. If East ruffed in with the queen of hearts, Eau would discard the club If East discarded the club, Rau would trump with the nlne of hsnres. which would give him his needed tenth trick.
