opening bid. minus the heart king.
Z. A nominal acceptance. showing
hrst-round control Of diamonds.
.. The bidder has exactly one king
above his minimum opening. He has
already invited the slam; hence. 1t
k up 10 his partner to take the hand
beyond game. II there Is = slam in the
cards.
1. Responder has q very sound jump
to three spades. His partner has in
vited 4 slam. hence he makes . posi-
tive acceptance by showing his second
control above the game level.
5. The bidder "a now willing to try
the slam, which will be made unless
some suit Ia ruled.
Suppose that In the example given
the original bidder held the ace Of
spades instead Of one Of the low ones.
The bidding would have proceeded the
same up TO and including responder's
four -dia mond bid. At this point the
original bidder would jump to six
spades. since he would not only know
that his partners three-spsde re-
sponse had been sound, but also that
his partner held the ace OF diamonds.
Responder would then have bid seven
spades. reasoning Is follows:
MY partner has bid six without
knowing about the ace OF hearts. He
cannot be void in hearts, or he would
undoubtedly have shown his first-
round control of that suit by bidding
fve hearts. Furthermore, the fact
that he jumped Immediately to six
indicates some Willingness for seven.
Accordingly, had better bid . grand
slam.
Or, consider another variation: Bid
der holds his original hand; responder
the same hand with the queen Of
diamonds instead Of the king. Bidder
invites . slam by showing his club
control: responder nominally accepts
by showing his diamond control. Bid
der bids four spades, and now resp0n-
der passes, his reasoning being ~
follows:
II have Q sound but not particularly
good three-spade bid. have shown
this by accepting the slam invitation
with Q bid Of four diamonds. Never
thelsss. my partner did not 70 pest
game. I have not shown the ace Of
hearts ~ yet, but ! needed the ace Of
hearts and every other card In my
hand for my three-spade bid. Acc
cordingly. II my partner isn't willing
to take the contract past game, We
will surely have at least two tricks
on the hand. Therefore shall pass"
The rule Of the ace and the king
applies with equal force TO the re-
spending hand. For example:

Come on, folks. Climb into this

hop with US. Don't pull any of those
lines about keeping one foot on the

traptions." That's old stuff Besides
this airplane is anything but a con-

that upholstery is. Three can sit in
the rear seat, and one up here beside
the pilot. Get in and see if it isn't
more comfortable than your car
You had better get in back, Grandpa.
It's more comfortable back there.
This young lady can sit beside me.
Will you shut that door, please?
There is quite draft from the pro-
peller. No, don't get out yet. l
want to show you how the controls
work. This lever on the left is the
throttle. Do you notice how the
motor speeds up when I push it in?
Now If l release the brakes, the plane
rolls forward. Don't be frightened.
There's no danger. We Il take to
the other side of the field. / want
you all to see the smooth runway we
have over there, and this is more con-

The plane rolls over the ground

tail wheel and more nearly balances
it on the wheels. / have to push
first one way and then the other on

FORCAsTING FUTURE TRENDS

Astro-Numerologist
THE DIONNE FIVE

The Dionne quintuplets were born
about or shortly after 400 a. M,
May %, 1894, near the small town of
Callenfar, northern Ontario. A hor-
oscope cast for 4.05 a. m, gives the
fifth degree of the Zodical Sign
Gemini (the Twins) rising over the
eastern horizon. This is the ASCEN-
DENT of the horoscope and is indica-
tive of the early life and environ
ment. The Sun was exactly on this
Ascendant. Both the Sun and AS
eendant were in exact Urine Aspect
to both the Midheaven and the planet
Jupiter. The Sun is indicative of the
Individuality and the relation of the
Native (Natives) to those in Power
and Authority. The Midheavep re-
lates to the Fame and Publicity.
Jupiter is the planet of Wealth and
Benevolence The Urine aspect is
considered lucky. This Ascendant

The planet Mars squares" the
place of Saturn at their birth. The
Moon is also square" to both Mars
and Saturn. Fixed signs are in

separation from the parents. Also,
trouble over home, property and es-
taate affairs. Elders will prove diff
cult and will be the source of more
than one sorrow in the life of each
of the "Quints."
Venus conjoins Uranus at their
birth. While adding intensity to the
imagination and talent for dramatics,
it is unfortunate for marriage and
adversely affects the "love-life"
Since this aspect occurs in the
Twelfth House (secrets, confidential
matters and behind the scenes activ-
ities) there is very much likelihood
of secret and clandestine affairs"
This Venus Uranus confguration also
denotes sudden separations as involv-

HOBBIES OF THE PRESIDENTS

HOBBIES OF THE PRESIDENTS
Presidents are just people with
millions of admirers or critics as the
case may be but all of them have had
good hobbies and everyone Of our
thirty-one Presidents have been of
high moral and social excellence.
And when a President rides or
talks hobby the affairs of state fall
aside and he looses himself in his en-
thusiasm as quickly and thoroughly
| as any other hobby rider. Perhaps
hobby riding accounts for the always
fresh point of view so evident In
United States Presidents. All of our
Presidents have been hard hobby
riders but none has been more loyal
to his hobbies than President Roose-
welt. His collection of naval prints
| and Hudson River scenes alone is
probably worth $4,000. His stamp
| albums hold some of the choicest
'stickers" known to the philately
world. His collection of rare ship
models bespeaks his liking FOR the
water. He is Americas No. angler
and he swims, sails, reads and likes
people generally. If fate had not SO
directed, our next President might
have been collector of fine old glass
and lusterware and oriental rugs

George Washington's hobby was
breeding fine horses and fox hounds

OATH OF ALLEGIANCE is
SWORN TO NEW MONARCH

London, Jan. 21.-(AP)- The new
title King Edward VIII was used for
the first time tonight when Parlia-
ment met to swear allegiance to the
eldest son Of the late King George v.
The new king, the former Prince of
Wales, came to London dramatically
by airplane-the first English mon
arch ever to fly-twelve hours after
he saw his father die in Sandringham
House, 100 miles away.
Captain the Rt. Hon. Edward Alger-
non FitZroy, speaker of the House of
Commons, was the first to take the
oath. He swore allegiance to His
Majesty King Edward VIII, his heirs
and successors" according to the
law.
The next to take the oath were
Prime Minister Baldwin; Neville
Chamberlain, chancellor of the eX-
chequer; and Sir John Simond, home
secretary.
This public use of the title follow
ed of a. meeting of the privy coun-
Gil, at which the 41-year-old king had
given his declaration and received the
counselor's oath of allegiance.

that a mored irect plan will work, it
will work like this:
The Federal Supreme Court is of
constitutional creation and it's powers
are constitutionally defined, but the
lower federal courts are of congress
sional creation only and Congress can
dictate to them. The Constitution spe-
officially says, THE judicial power of
the United States shall be vested in
one Supreme Court, and in such in
ferior courts as the Congress may
from time to time ordain and estab-
lish.'
The Constitution does not, however,
authorize the Supreme Court to de-
eide all sorts of questions at first
hand.
If a case involves a foreign am
bassador, minister or consul or if a
state is one of the litigants, the SUI
preme bench can consider that case
initially. In no other case, no mat
ter how federal in character, has it a
voice except as a tribunal of appeal,
