By G. adams HOwavd.

A review of last year and indica-
tions Of what interesting things may
take place in the allied subjects Of
the motor world seem appropriate at
this time.
From Russell E. Singer, general
manager of the American Automo-
bile Association, the following ma
terial is at hand.
The year 1899 was marked by in
tensive preparations to make 1910
outstanding in gains toward further
readjusting highway use to the needs
and demands of the modern motor
age.
These preparations embraced i'm
provement to the car, particularly as
regards better illumination for night
driving; shaping of plans for road
building on the basis of current and
future needs as disclosed in highway
planning surveys; new emphasis on
travel development in the United
States and adjacent countries; better
coordination of the traffic safety
movement with greater public in
terest, and more appreciation on the
part of motorists that organized
strength is necessary to maintain
and increase the benefits from car
ownership. This latter meant that
the motor club movement forged
ahead steadily with the combined
membership of A. A. A. motor clubs
reaching the highest point on record.
Some of the more significant de-
velopments of 1899, as they relate to
motoring conditions In the new year,
may be high lighted briefly as fol-
lows:
l. Manufacturers of automobiles
continued to improve their products.
While greater mechanical efficiency,
better lines and easier and safer op-
Grafton are evident in the new
models, the new headlamps are a
particularly fine advance. The better
illumination offered may stimulate
greater care for lights on earlier
cars, and thus bring about general
improvement in night driving-one
Of the serious problems confronting
motorists.
2. After three decades of road
building experience and utilizing
findings from highway planning sur
veys in 46 States, the country's high
way engineers are now prepared to

two no-trump doubled? Let's play
a hand of backgammon!
6. Three no-trump would have
beensa better bid here.
7. Another smoke screen, eh?
8. More suits than q clothing
house.
9. A good bid. Getting fed up
with the monkey business.
10. Another good bid.
1t afforded Uncle Bing a lot of
satisfaction because his nuisance
bidding had kept the opponents out
Of the maximum contract In dupi-
cate it would probably mean that
his side would win the board. In
rubber bridge it would make a diff
ference of almost a thousand points
in his favor.
Players should always be on their
guard against making insufficient
bids. An insufficient bid is often
the source of heavy loss to the de-
clarer, not because of a set but be-
cause of what might have been
made. The rule is-and it should be
strictly enforced-that when a bid
is not sufficient to overcall a pre-
vious bid 1t must be made sufficient
either in the suit named or some
other suit. If it is made sufficient
in the same suit, the partner is
barred for one round of bidding:
If the suit is changed, then the
partner Is permanently barred from
participating in the auction for that
deal.
The coup play is not frequent
one, and when a declarer makes it
he is entitled to congratulations. 1t
occurs when the adversary at the
right of the declarer has four or
more trumps, at least one of them
an honor, and the declarer finds
that he cannot lead through them
because Of shortage of trumps in
his partners hand.
H. r. King, member of the four
some that won the first half of the
Federal Bridge Leagues series of
games, had the distinction of max
ing the first coup of this character
IN the new year. 1t happened at
l o'clock on New Year morning at
the Cheeks Studio His partner was
DR.. Conolly and his adversaries
James Guy and w. A. Bolinger. The
deal was:

event last year.
Other Washington players have
been matched in the open pair con-
test for. the cup offered, by Repre-.
sentative John G. Kunkel, himself
master player, whose home is Har-
risburg. The winners last year were
Mrs. ]. j. Mitchell, Sd, and E. G.
Ellenbogen, Philadelphia. This aft
ernoon the players are engaged in
the team-of-four event for another
c. Ross Boas trophy, which will con-
clude the tournament. A year ago
this match was won by Mrs. Ben
jamin Colder, Charles j. Solomon,
Joseph Davis and Samuel Vessel,
Philadelphia.
Russell j. Baldwin Is director of
the tournament, which is sponsored
by the American Contract Bridge
League and the Keystone Bridge
Association.
Next week end the players will
move on to Alexandria to take part
in the Northern Virginia tourna-
ment on Friday, Saturday and Sum-
day. The local players have several
championship titles at stake, and a
large representation is expected at
this match. The intermediate event,
where the contestants are limited to
those who have no master point
ratings, is attracting much atten-
ton. The prize is the trophy offered
by the Alexandria Gazette.
Following this tourney, the Della
ware State meet will be held in Will
mington, January 10 to 81. After
that comes the Maryland State
tournament in Baltimore on Feb
ruary "a Washington players have
some scores to even up with the
Marylanders, and a spirited contest
is anticipated.
The deal given below is submitted
by Uncle Bing, formally and off,
cially known to Washington players
as Howard Woolworth, bridge fan
extraordinary. The purpose seems
to be to demonstrate what a bad,
bad boy like Uncle Bing, who played
in the East position, can do to heckle
and harass a North and South pair
who have grand slam in no-trump,
hearts or diamonds laid out for
them with only proper heart
flnesse to make the contract
The bidding went eight rounds be-
fore a small slam contract in dia-
monds was reached. East kept pop
ping in with nuisance bids while his
partner with bust hand must have
felt very uncomfortable when Bing
was doubled four successive times,
but on each occasion he managed
to eXtricate himself until the small
slam contract was reached. Bing
was jubilant, however, because he
had kept the opponents from a
grand slam which would have netted
them a handsome score as they were
vulnerable. Bing, of course, was
not vulnerable and was free to take
great liberties in the bidding. The
amusing comment on each bid is his.
The deal.
