The manner in/which bridge player handles the more difficult situations which arise in the play of the hand is usually a stamp of his rank. Sometimes there are very fine card players who are very poor bidders, and occasionally, because a player is proud of his playing skill, he needs 1t all because he overbids trick or two on the strength of it.
 In today's hand South's success or failure depended wholly on him. self. East's double was based pri- inarily on getting a heart lead. While he riSked the loss of some points that way, if South made his contract. the risk seemed impera- tive.
 North's hearts were solid enough to prevent East from running the

 East won the opening lead with the heart jack and returned a dia- mond. South played low. West won with the eight and returned another heart. This East won. and the return of a diamond was won by South's ace.
 Now South laid down a small club, won with the ace in dummy. and wound up by going down two tricks for loss of 1000 points.
 South had q much better way of playing the club suit. East's double and the heart play disclosed that he held five hearts. South should have played the queen of clubs. When East failed to follow, South then, by two leads through Wett, could have picked up the out- standing clubs without the loss Of 6 trick. and fulfilled his contract.

BY using these signature machines,
it will be possible for Governor. Hoey
and State Treasurer Johnson to sign
all the 3,019 bonds by signing their
names only 1853 times each. But even
this requires a good deal of time.
"It requires quite a bit of practice
with the signature machine to get all
of the 10 fountain pens to work to-
gether and to get accustomed to the
mechanism, since it is necessary to
grasp the pen used by the signer
quite firmly" Johnson said. "a slight
wait is necessary between each sign
ing while office attendants take out
the signed bonds and insert Is un-
signed cnes under the machines. But
these machines are wonderful things
and save a lot of time and hard work.
1t would be a terrific job to sign each
of these 3,019 one at time"
The bonds must be all signed and
delivered to the purchasers by June 2,

6. To investigate the adequacy of
the preparation now given by the
high schools for entering college and
the successful performing of college
work, also the facilities and oppor-
tunities for doing such work in the
colleges.
1t is generally agreed that the act
creating this commission originated
among those who are becoming more
and more convinced that the heads
of the public schools in North Caro-
lima have been devoting too much
time and effort to getting more
money for the schools or to getting
control of the spending of the school
money and not enough time to inn
proving the type of instruction offer
ed, the curriculum, the preparation
of the teachers, the attitude of the
teachers. There are also many who
believe that there is a crater need
for more vocational education and less
of the classic or college entrance type
of education in the high schools, since
only a small proportion of those who
attend high school or even graduate
from high school, ever go on to col
lege. 1t is no secret that the purpose
of this act and the commission is au-
thorizes, is to get something done
about the States school system where
nothing has been don heretofore.

conditioning completed and have the
boat on patrol this fall to enforce

the three-mile limit of the North Car
DINA coast.
"A SPCCidl appropriation OF XZ5,OO
