> MeKENNEY'S BRIDGE QUIZ
New Rules Govern Original Bidders Response to Partners
One No Trump
BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY
Secretary. American Contract
Bridge League

| Aa1oS AS101S
In the five preceding articles we
have discussed the very simple
method advocated by Charles H.
Goren in "Highlights Of Winning
Bridge" for estimating the pos
sibilities Of a hand, when partner
has opened the bidding. Today
we deal with estimates by the
opening bidder himself when part
ner has responded with one no
trump. Goren's advice Is as follows:
(a) If you have only one honor
trick in excess Of the original bid,
pass unless your hand is unbal-
anced. Game will be hopeless.
(b) If you have IL honor tricks
over your original bid, invite your
partner to go game by bidding two
no trump. If he had a fairly good
one no trump response you will
have a chance for game. If not, he
can pass.
(c) If you have two honor tricks
over your original bid, contract for
game yourself.
For example, you have opened the
bidding with one spade and your
partner has responded with one no
trump. What should you now bid
with holdings shown in the four IL
Illustrated hands:
In hand l, you have one honor
trick over your original bid but a
balanced pattern. Game 10 therefore
/, hopeless and you should pass.
In hand 2. you also have one hon.
or trick over your original bid, but

 Leavenworth street was lined with lookers-on as 10 o'clock approached. But most of the gathering soon dis appeared. though small groups gath- cred across from the courthouse every few minutes.
 Town Chairman John H. Crary, Democratic leader, remained in his seat in the courtroom, after the jury
 had gone out, as did one or two othel defendants. Mayor Frank
 Hayes alternated between sitting in his customary courtroom place and strolling about the lobby. Most of
 the other defendants formed groups

An atmosphere of tense drama lowered over the county courthouse and the entire city today as nine men and three women gathered in a little room to decide the fate of the 1s men on trial foy alleged conspir- acy. In the courthouse, faces were tightly drawn and the occasional laugh that was heard seemed forced enough to be giggle. Prosecutors, defense lawyers, defendants and spectators all showed by their ex- pressions their realization of the tremendous importance of the delib- erations in the jury room.
 Knots of persons gathered in the Hobbies and corridors of the county building. Voices were hushed, as If in appreciation of the importance of the case. Cigarettes were nerv- ously puffed and tosseo away. Some of the principals paced back and forth nervously.
 Principals Confident
 Principal defendants said they felt confident of acquittal but, like their lawyers, did not deny that the arrival of the zero hour had made them nervous and jittery.

CHAPTER VII

1t was late in September that Susie, still unaware that her cry had been heard and needed, was gently guided toward her destiny. Afterward she remembered the date and called 1t her birthday because that was the day she began to i've,
 She was tending her waffle irons, not thinking, Susie seldom thought any more, when two girls entered the shop and sat at the counter near her. One Of the girls, Susie had heard her called Dottie, was proudly initiating the other, obviously newcomer, into the joys of the Waffle Shoppe.
 "Susie's waffles simply melt in your mouth" Dottie said. And, to show her familiarity, added, "Iow do you make them, SusieP I'd like the recipe" .
 Susie had been asked e hundred times for the recipe and always she gave it, up to certain point There was a little trick about making waffles that she had learned from her mother. The lit- tic trick meant money to Susie, She guarded her secret even from the manager. Taking e typewritten slip from the cupboard she hand ed it to Dotty,
 "Dont grease the iron" she said mechanically. Have it very hot Her voice was dull flat, Dole thanked her and ale and her friend chated on. The girls did not know, nor did susie, that the fateS had chosen them for hand maidcns, that they would move into the radius of Susie's life long enough Co change it then be gone forever, their usefulness ended.
 After finishing their watfles the girls turning Go scanning Q Chica- go paper, reading the football line- ups and schedules, looking for fa- miliar names, As far As Susie was concerned they had already gone. She heard their conversa' ton, but it drifted across her tired, dNcouraging mind without making any special impression.
 
 Turning the page Dottie glanced at the Harker smash advertisement, exclaiming over the smart, eleverly drawn sketches, Suddenly she laughed, pointing to c boxed notice in the center of the layout. DotVe read, "Would you like to Do beauti- fui3" Then both girls laughed. They were both beautiful swans and they
