CHAPTER XVIII

There were no mirrors in the room. Susie waited for the first view of herself with the still excitement of 6 bride awaiting the first peel of her wedding march.
 Then, with the net still over her hair, she was dressed. An army ! of maids in waiting helped her while an army of department heads looked on critically. Susie lost herself in the hub-bub. When a straight, dark dress, deceivingly simple in design, miracle Of clever workmanship, was slid over her head and dipped neatly up the side, a linen apron was tied around her neck and Pierre rev" erently took command,
 He removed the net and loosened deep waves. He spun soft curls around an epert [ finger, he tucked fin hairpins, bringing the curls close to Susies white neck, he fashioned a transparent whirl over each ear. Then he put mirror into Susie's hand.
 Eaglerly she gazed into it. Child ishly she looked behind the mirror. At last she gasped.
 "Why --- why she doesn't recog- fize me- Susie faltered.
 At her words the room was swept with q gale of laughter.

The work of the District Of Co.
lumbia Motor Club of the American
Automobile Association is no way
confined to starting stalled cars,
planning tours and staging school
patrol parades.
This is evidenced upon an investi-
cation special committee of the
local Advisory Board is now carry
ing on following complaints of many
motorists of the city, some A. A. A.
members and some not. The charges
have been made that number of
smaller firms, particularly dealers
in accessories, are not only employ
ing usury tactics, but are repossess-
ing cars in manner anything but
ethical to say the least.
In the majority of cases the busi-
ness is conducted within the law.
Therefore the committee is study
ing what new legislation is needed
that will protect both the seller and
the buyer. The subject needs care
full consideration, and because of
this the committee is going ahead
very slowly. While it is believed
that the so-called "gyp concerns"
do exist in the city and in Maryland
it must be realized that the present
investigation in no way reflects upon
the transactions of the reputable
firms.
In order to get concrete facts, the
American Motorist, the A. A. A.
publication, next month is inviting
its readers to come forward with
any evidence of shady business deal
ings they may have experienced
Undoubtedly complaints will be reg
istered by other than A. A. A. mem
pers, but they, too, will be welcomed.

ask that all complaints be for

The whole set-up refers only to
on-time purchases A tire or radio
may be purchased for the car in
this manner. The cost price may be
doubled, for under the District law
the accessory dealer borroWs the
money from some loan house, and
for getting this money he can
charge what amounts to a broker
age fee. This loop-hole prevents
him from being guilty of usury.

Both sides were vulnerable when
Richard S. Jones. playing with John
H. Edwards against C. B. Penne-
baker and Joyce OHara in a rubber
game at the National Press Club,
found himself confronted with the
problem of what to do with the East
hand To those who held a post
mortem after the deal was played
1t seemed that the opening bid
should have been either one heart
or four hearts. Instead, as it was
actually played, Mr. Jones bid three
hearts. This indicated to his
partner with his power house of
four and half plus high card tricks,
that the opener had a long string
OF hearts with at least one or both
OF the black kings, and if only one,
then the queen of diamondS-at least
a card that would afford a possible
entry into the hand. Accordingly,
with the appearance of seven plus
primary tricks in the two hands, he
jumped to six no trump. Mr.. Penne-
baker on his left promptly doubled
and Mr.. Jones, then realizing that
he had not made the correct OPEN
ing bid, called seven hearts, which
was also doubled
AS the hand played he was set
only one trick. An original lead of
spade was won with the ace in
dummy and when North covered the
queen of that suit on the next lead,
declarer trumped, returned to
dummy with a diamond, and dis
carded his losing club on the Jack
of spades. An attempt to bring
grand coup into use would not work
SO as to strip North and force him to
trump. Declarer then lost one trick
to the queen of trumps. An original
bid of one heart would have brought
a response of three no trump, fol-
lowing which East would have called
four hearts and West four no trump,
showing three aces, and the contract
would have reached a small slam
which could not be defeated.
Playing the 13 system, the bidding
would have been safer and perhaps
it would have been easier to reach
the small slam. The opening bid
would have been two hearts, which
is not forcing, as in the Culbertson
system. but would have shown
point count of 81, including four end
cards of four points each. to which
West with 81 positive points and the
three plus cards of two jacks and
one ten would at once have jumped
to six hearts, East having indicated
that suit as the one in which the
contract should be played
Under any system the opening bid
must be valid and honest, no matter
how imaginative and spectacular
subsequent calls may be- That is the
yardstick by which your partner
measures your hand. Playing the
Culbertson system the opener must
have at least two and one-half de-

Automotive Hints
By Frederick e.. Russell,

Whenever the car seems to be
Weaving-acting as if you had to
balance it with the steering wheel
make up your mind that one of the
rear tires is just about fiat. Stop
the car and save running a good
shoe. 1t is possible for a car to go
a considerable distance with a fat
rear tire and without the driver be-
ing aware of it, SO, learn to watch
for that odd steering effect.
Stop in Your Lane.
I have mentioned it before. but it
certainly bears repeating. If you
must stop suddenly in traffic, al
ways do so in straight line SWING
ing over into another lane is a sure
way of getting mixed up with two
cars instead of one. Invariably the
brakes are entirely capable of stop
ping quickly enough to avoid hitting
the car ahead. If you bump it is
usually because too much time was
lost being convinced that a stop
is needed.
Well to Remember.
A woman driver who saw the wis
dom of this said she has several
times swung into another lane be-
cause of fear that the brakes were
not going to work. Clearly she did
not realize that the car stops in
creasingly faster as it nears COM
pletlon OF its stop In other words,
the nearer you are to the object you
are trying to avoid hitting the more
rapidly the car loses speed.
