The divergence OF opinion resulted
from the difficulty Of reaching a slam.
In order to get to slam in the view
of the experts North must open when
vulnerable with a rather shaded bid
OF one heart. East then bids q spade
and South gives Jump to three dia-
monds. West bids three spades and
North four hearts; East counters with
four spades and South bids five clubs.
West says five spades and North. be-
cause she lacks the ace and king OF
her heart bid. fears to bid six clubs,
whereupon East passes and South
doubles and sets the contract three
tricks.
Some players contend that South's
first force should have been in three
clubs which North would have raised
to four over Vests three spades. Then
when East bid four spades South should
have bid five diamonds indicating .
two-suit hand with no losers in spades
and knowing that she had at least one
trick in hearts and support by North
in her clubs.
The difhculty Of getting to a slam
is increased, however, in the event
that North fails to make her shaded
opening bid of one heart. Admittedly,
the slam Is not easy to bid, and the
result was that East and West escaped
very fortunately with a loss of only
300 points when they might have been
debited with a vulnerable game and a
small slam by their adversaries.
WASHINGTON bridge games are in
tested with "kibitzers" The use
Of the word infested" in this con-
nection is not necessarily meant to be
offensive, but rather to imply that the
kibitzer is almost invariably present,
and is generally looked upon as pest
by the players. This is particularly
true as to club games. and in a lesser
degree to tournament and duplicate
games. 1t has come to be that in order
to get a quiet game Of bridge, as its
parent game of whist was intended to
be, one must retreat to the library or
dining room Of his own home, and even
there the wife or the children are
likely to I'LL the role Of the kibitzer.

Of good luck enabled West to make six
odd tricks at no trump, on board
No. 20.
Thus the result which seems to
have established q record for local
contract showed six slams in 10 con-
secutive deals, three of them small
slams and three of them grand slams.
Nor was the lady fair partial in the
bestowal Of her favors. but divided
them equally between the opposing
sides, allowing three slams to be made
North and South and three East and
West.
Equally odd from another angle
was the experience of Mrs. Alfred H.
Brooks in the same contest. Mrs.
Brooks sat at table No. and directed
the game. During the play of the
% boards which constituted the match,
she was not declarer on a single one
and played no hand, except as dummy
or in defense. Despite this seeming
handicap, she finished third among
the competitors. Her partner was
o. L. Veerho6.
THE deal given below occurred in
the open game played at the Shore
ham in conjunction with the master
players match held under the aus
pieces of the Washington Bridge
League. North was dealer, and North
and South were vulnerable; East and
West were not vulnerable. The char
acter of the deal provoked q wide
discussion and difference Of opinion
as to what the bidding should have
been. In most instances the final bid
was five spades by East. which was
doubled by South-Mrs. Virginia Ken
dali in one case-and the contract
was set three tricks, for loss of 800
points. Most of the players adj
mitted that they would have done the
same thing. The hand, however, will
yield a small slam for North and
South in each of the remaining suits,
hearts, diamonds or clubs.

When you turn right at the. stop
light in Falls Church you join the
Leesburg pike, the ancient highway
between Alexandra and Leesburg.
One of the oldest roads In English
America, it was known in Colonial
times as the Great Road and con-
nected the Potomac Path (from Tide
water Virginia) with the Western
frontier. It must be remembered that
when George Washington was boy
Fairfax County marked the end Of
Western expansion.
On this pike you are following part
Of Braddock's army on its march into
the French and Indian country in
1755. Had his entire army followed
this road Braddock may not have
Jared so miserably upon meeting the
French. As it was, his army, after
virtually building a road through the
wilderness Of Maryland from George
town to Fort Duquesne, was whipped
before any enemy other than Nature
was met. The Leesburg pike went in
the right direction for the army. and
it was . good road ~ roads were

Many years later Dolly Madison ned
along the Leesburg pike while the
British burned her home. the White
House. This pike was built by pri-
vate company after distance
wagons had cut up and ruined the
former locally maintained roads. Toll
was charged. Turnpike means toll
road; the word has reference to the OBJ
structions to traflc at tollhouses
while the toll was being paid. One OF
the old tollhouses can still be seen
