This Is the 18th of Q series of hands played by the new national champions, at Pittsburgh Pa.
By WNf. E. MCKINNEY Ameriea,a Card Authority

In winning the national open pair championship this year, Walter Jacobs of Chicago repeated his vic- tory of 1886, when he won the cup with Ralph Kempner of Chicago. MT. Jacobs is rated as one of the outstanding players of the middle west, and last october won the AL American open pair championship with MT. Kempner. MT. Jacobs is a keen student of the play of the hand. as he demonstrates in today's hand which helped him to win the championship at Pittsburgh.
 The opening bid was of course a psychic, such as is often indulged in by non-vulnerable players : against vulnerable opponents. Ja- scobs' overcaN of one diamond was weak, but he knew he would have Ito start bidding at once to bid at -all. ! East thought that Northgs heart

which overcomes any male objec- ton to discussing the finer things; English study and speech classes, or course, add to this.
 And 8 great many girls take up "mothercraft" and eventually all realize the effectiveness of good, plain cooking" she added.
 Miss Stewart weighed possible results of the latter feminine att tribute against all other assets.
 So intent are the girls about be- ing @ success" at college, they an- nually held 8 Charm Week" dur ing which looming" facts about the stronger sex and examining for competitional examinations sched- uled just before the spring dance are convention themes.
 It isn't 8 fight by yourself, girls, anymore. The dignified body which sponsors the conquest of hearts is the Associated Women Students" " whose two-fold purpose is to see that the girls have @ good time and afterward have @ souvenir of the good independently man.
 Politics has it's part in swain pur- suit. The women's group maneau- vers stag dances to which (paradox- ically) students with dates are not admitted. But the stag affairs give all a chance to catch up on their homework.
 Miss Stewart did not explain whether physical education, home economies and music instructors act as dance chaperons to check on the training they receive. Grades were another undiscussed affair.
 "Yes," she srnilingly concluded, while the old saying that girls only go to college to get married is not considered true, 1t might well be-"

 Miss Stewart, who frankly ad- mits most girls go to college to get married and that one of the best ways to @ mans heart-even a sophomore's-is still through the dinner placed before him, contends college these days supplies all the essential womanly attributes-all but one, and a good part Of that.
 Phonomenally-or through their classes in dancing where they ac- quire poise and grace, or in art where a knowledge of real beauty is gained-the co-eds at Weber col lege this year are "more beautiful and charming" than ever before: that clinched the effort to unseat date bureaus from their social throne, Miss Stewart said.
 Miss Stewart explained she had busy time rounding up male prom partners for ardent but un- demonstrative co-eds and dates for shy sophomores while she was operating the matches made and guaranteed" headquarters.
 But since then a romantic at mosphere has invaded the corridors and lecture rooms. Co-eds have taken up the fight in earnest and with interest; there are no more 'catchless" days for the pining heart of Q young freshman or a sophisticated sophomore, and you don't have to wait until prom time comes to be caught by one of these capricious but serious co-eds. Date bureaus have vanished.
 The secret is getting down to earth, Miss Stewart said.
 A class in personality and fashion supplies the foundation. In art and music appreciation studies, co-eds acquire Q taste for real beauty
