This is the third of a series of 25 bridge quizzes. Par is 100. De- duct 20 points if you answer in- correctly question No. 1; 15 for No. 2; 10 for No. 3; and 5 for No. 4. Keep your daily score and see how high an average you can maintain.
 l. After opening the bidding with one spade, should South rebid when North bids two diamonds?
 2. After South bids two hearts, should North do more than show a preference on the second round?
 3. What decisive play can de- clarer make on the third trick, ii West opens clubs and continues the suit?
 4. If a different defense had been adopted, could the game contract have been defeated?
 Solution to Bridge Quiz
 1. South should show his heart suit. His spades do not justify a rebid, and the heart bid is the best road to a good ultimate contract.
 2. North has 8 partner strong enough to open the bidding, but while his hand is fine one, it is not strong enough to bid three spades over two hearts. He should

City Manager Rule
Held Less Costly
City manager governed cities have

City manager governed cities have
lower tax rates, generally, than
municipalities having other forms
of government. according to . COM
parison study made by the WASH
ington Taxpayers Association. which
has urged a city manager council
for Washington for some time.
Adjusted tax rates in 20 cities
having city manager rule, varying
from 10000 to 100000 in population
and being situated in IA States In
all sections Of the Nation, were used
in the survey along with cities Of
similar size having other forms Of
government. Cities as near alike
as possible were compared in the.
study, which showed that In IA out
of 20 cases the city manager munic-
ipalities had a lower adjusted tax
rate.
In the city manager cities, the
average adjusted tax rate was $24.23
per Thousand. For the other cities,
the rate was $2S53 per thousand,
or 1892 per cent higher. The aver
age adjusted rate for 248 cities 10
$26.49, which, according to the as
ISOLATION, is 1926 higher than the
city manager operated cities.
During the past eight months the
number of cities in the United States
which have the city manager form
of rule, which separates the legisla-
tive and executive functions, has
grown from 476 to 494, association

They constitute about one-third OF
the mountain population, who were
taken from their cabins by the
State and resettled in the valley, in
an environment which, for the most
part, according to reports, is still
strange to them, and in which they
are meeting troubles in readjust-
ment.

where these families had always
lived, down to the level country

Conferences This Week
Will Decide Most
Compelling Of Needs

With the Community Chest still
short of its campaign goal by 6 per
cent, member agency executives will
meet with Budget Secretary Frank
Gray this week for a series Of con-
ferences to analyze the most COM
pelling of the needs to be met by
Chest agencies.
Post-campaign response to the
Chest appeal has brought the total
to $1,872,641, which still means a
deficit for the campaign since ST.
100000 was set as the minimum to
tide the people who depend on Chest
agencies for help through the COM
ing year.

response of Washingtonians to the
needs Of their neighbors will be COM
pleted by the audit unit OF the Chest

and Wednesday will begin the task

which must balance before January
! the needs against the funds OBJ
tanned through the campaign. ia
Campaign Chairman Chauncey G.
Parker, jr., announced he would
continue with the campaign until
the deficit has been erased.
He reiterated his appeal to Wash
ingtonians to send to Chest head
quarters at 1101 M street NV. an
additional pledges or cash gifts "to
enable Chest agencies to say Yes,
we can help you"
He pointed out that dollars given
through the Community Chest make
possible services which few indi-
vidual givers find within their power
to provide.
Appeal to Aid Neighbors.
"Who among us could tide q
neighbor over even for few weeks
with extra help toward food, rent,
or in legal tangle?" he asked.
How many among us could send
our neighbor's children to camp for
a week or two weeks of sunlit play
and body building food?
Who could afford to take care
Of a baby through weeks of con-
valescence from some serious ILL
ness, perhaps from crowded home,
where undernourishment and other
sickness form twin hazards?
Very few of us could do any of
these things alone. But by giving
through the Community Chest we
can have the satisfaction of helping
to make all these kindly human acts
possible-not in one case alone. but
In hundreds of cases that occur
daily in our great community.
Il appeal to those citizens of
greater Washington who are able to
give-and have not so far done So
not to let their neighbors down."
