mentals Of the game for beginners
at the game; that 1t would greatly
improve the playing Of those who
are now termed average, and par
ticularly those who are below aver
age. One Of the reasons for this is
that there are millions Of players
who play by ear" as one might say.
That Is. they have picked up the
game, by watching others play, but
have never subjected themselves to
direct concrete instruction from some
one who has superior knowledge and
is trained in the ability to impart such
knowledge to others. which is really
the true art Of teaching.
The tentative program calls for the
election OF 4 board of directors to oe
representative of all parts of the
country; for an improved teaching
technique through an exchange of
ideas, and the preparation of lesson
sheets with problem hands The ma
tional organization would issue bulle-
tins explaining new laws, duplicate

Mrs. Leddy sat south and although
her hand showed only two honor
tricks she nevertheless opened the
bidding with spade because of the
distribution. 1t was means of
starting to find At II it existed.
When her partner took out with q
lower ranking suit she did not need
additional values to show a suit rank
ing lower than her original bid. Bid
ding was still at the two level. Her
partner now felt at liberty to in
crease the bidding in another suit to
the three level, which Mrs. Leddy
took to be forcing for one round.
She held six spades and five hearts.
Had these two suits been of the
same length she would have rebid
the hearts to allow her partner a
choice. Had her spades been six and
her hearts four she would have re-
bid the spades before showing the
hearts. This is a good point to bear
in mind when faced with bidding
six-carder and a five-carder when the
former is the higher ranking BY
twice raising the bidding level, first
with take out of two diamonds and
later with q bid of three clubs North
showed his full strength and there
was nothing to do but accept the
invitation to express a preference for
the two majors, which he did by bid
ding four hearts.
In the play of the hand West led
from doubleton diamond, which was
taken by the ace in dummy. Mrs.
Leddy then led the ace of clubs. upon
which she discarded her remaining
diamond. She then decided upon one
lead of trumps and the ace was
played. Next she led the nine of
spades and allowed it to ride to Vests
queen. West made exit with his Sec
ond diamond, which declarer trumped,
and when she led the ace of spades
and East showed out and void OF
trumps the situation was revealed.
Continuing with the jack of spades
West was forced to cover and dummy
trumped. Mrs. Leddy then reached
her own hand with the king of trumps
and continued to lead spades. West
had two good trumps. the queen and
ten. that he could take at any time
and that was all.

Y VIRGINIA Is big state and 1t
~ offers many sights for the
" traveller. perhaps the most un-
usual and the least exploited
OF all being her Indian Reservations.
Yes. Indian Reservations in Virginia!
There are two of them, only few
miles apart, and only l25 miles from
Washington. The larger contains the
Pamunkey tribe. the other, the
Mattaponi.
Withir . three-hour drive of WASH
ington these Indians, the direct des-
cendants Of the two leading tribes
Of Powhatan's Confederacy, live under
their old tribal laws. on land that
has never been owned by white men.
Their reservations are different from
any others in the country. The vir-
ginia Indians are not wards Of the
government; they rule and support
themselves. They are free and inde-
pendent Of the state in which they
are located. Other reservations, even
the immense Navajo and Hopi tracts
in Arizona. are governed by state
laws, but only Federal statutes cover
the Virginia Indians.
The Pamunkeys make their own
game and fish laws, the chief and
council decide all matters of state,
both legislative and juridical Every
year they travel to Richmond to renew
the treaty Of 1646 which guarantees
their freedom and independence on
their reservation. In return for Ger
tain wild game deer, several furs,
q fox-the governors of Virginia have
every year since 1916 acknowledge
the autonomy Of the Pamunkeys.
These Inians, = dignified people
are Of course proud of their present
liberty, but prouder still OF their past
glory. King Powhatan. whose power
full Confederation included 80 tribes
with lands ranging from the Atlantic
seacoast to the Blue Ridge, was a Pa
munkey. His people, who once held
the thread Of life and death over the
few pale faces" IN their midst, have
written . sorry later history for them
selves. The story of the ten lost
tribes Of Lsreal Is magnified threefold,
for of the 81 tribes under Powhatan,
only two are left rs tribal organisa-
tions. The two, of course, are the
Pamunkey and the Mattaponi (pro-
nounced Matta-p'n-eye).
PAMUNKEY history was closely in
terwoven with that of John Smith
and his band of Englishmen. The
story Of Pocahontas, the Chiefs
daughter, and John Smith is a favor
ite with the Indian as well as the
white man. The following is the
Indian story Of the event, translated
from sign language. 1t is . MASTER
piece OF understatement: Indians,
while hunting. discover white men
standing in shallow water. Indians
agree to kill white men at Chiefs
seat Indian maiden lPocahontas)
disagrees with Indian men and makes
for no harm to white men, but good
wishes"

A Pocahontas Is still living among
the Pamunkeys, not only in spirit,
but name. She is called "Pocahontas
Cook" and she Is as gracious and
gentle princess as her namesake and
direct ancestor must have been.
Daughter of the late Chief Cook, her
house Is the frst one to the right as
you enter the reservation. You are
always welcome.
In fact, everyone Is welcome every
where; the Pamunkeys are hospitable
and friendly. Chief w. s. Brady
strikes the keynote in this feeling,
and will personally direct your sight
seeing You need feel no hesitancy at
visiting him or his people. Dignified
friendliness stands out over the desire
to sell you something.
The best way to reach the reser-
vation is to take the new Virginia
highway. No. 80. which runs east OF
No. about halfway between Fred
ericksburg and Richmond. This is the
Pamunkey Trail. There is two-mile
gravel stretch as you enter it. other

past King William Courthouse q road

and Lester Manor. From Lanesville
you will see signs to the reservation
At Lester Manor another right turn
takes you into tribal territory. The
A. A. A. map Of Virginia shows this
road very clearly. AZ you enter the
tract. you will see . neatly constructed
log cabin. 1t Is the exhibit house
where pottery, baskets, leather and
bead work are on view.
ITO REACH Chief Bradby's house, 60
straight ahead through the gate
and keep turning left till you reach
the Pamunkey River. His home is
on the left. He will invite you in and
tell you about his people He will
tell you proudly that there are $50
acres left to his people which have
never been owned or governed by
pale faces" He will tell you there
are 800 Indians on and OF the reser-
vation. He may then tell you the
habits. traditions and occupations Of
his people.
The Pamunkeys have always lived
by hunting, fishing. trapping and
farming along their fruitful river. A
recent sideline Is guide service to
hunters. Duck and deer are the main
game. The quota is two deer a year.
Laws are made by the chief and
council of seven. Important decisions
are voted on by the whole tribe. In

~ RIDGE pointer. There are
- many good bridge players who.
apparently for excellent rea-
- sons, prefer to open much
weaker minor suits than majors. That
is, holding cards of certain demonina-
tions in two suits they will open the
minor suit rather than the major even
though 1t is the weaker of the two
suits. They reason that their part
ners will always be careful of raising
minor suit too high because they do
not dare get beyond the three mo-
trump level. When a major suit is
opened it might be raised Immediately
to four, which is game, for the re-
spending partner would feel that he
could count upon q reasonably strong
opening bid. On the other hand, If q
minor Is opened the responding hand
will be prepared for a weak suit, be-
cause no better suit Is available, and
he will not carry on up to five, game
in q minor, unless his hand is excep-
tionally strong. 1t is simply telling
partner to be guarded rather than
bold.
HERE is an interesting hand which
presents examples In bidding,
distribution and timing. the latter be-
ing especially important. 1t was
played by Mrs. L. NJ Leddy, zoos Kalo-
rama road NV. in a rubber game in
