A rubber bridge was being played
at the Cheek Studio one day last
week when the following unusual
first round Of bidding developed. A.
Hoffman in East opened with one
spade, Charles johnson in South
called two spades, Mrs. Catherine
Cotter in West bid three spades, and
Wesley Gardner in North bid four
spades. Singularly enough, accord
ing to the standard method of bid
ding, each call was as 1t should have
been. Mr.. Hoffman had a seven
card suit of spades headed by the
king-queen and enough side help
to warrant a bid of one; Mr.. johnson
had strong hand with the singleton
ace of spades and desired to indicate
first round control of the suit for
the benefit of whatever call his part
ner should make; Mrs. Cotter had
five spades to the jack and a single
ton diamond which warranted her
bid of three spades, while Mr.. Gard
ner had no spades which he showed
by his four-spade bid. The contract
was finally played in five diamonds
by Mr.. johnson, who was set one
trick because he did not take a
f1nesse in trumps.
Al Roth and Oscar j. Brotman,
co-winners Of the worlds team of
four championship at the Asbury
Park, N. j., national summer tourna-
ment several months ago, will go to
the national winter tournament of
the American Contract Bridge
League in Philadelphia this week
with their expenses and entrance
fees paid. They were winners of
the two-session match in the Tubbs-
Stockvis duplicate, where the trip to
the national tournament was the
prize.
Isaac H. York and Mrs. Jack Ben
nett finished second in the contest,
while Lewis G. Tubbs and Mrs. w.
s. Athey were tied for third place
with Tom Hamlin and Lewis r..
Watson.

its Philadelphia tournament will be
an event on Friday night in which
maximum number of players un-
der specially arranged movement
will have opportunity to play with
and against Ely Culbertson. 1t is
probable that this will be the only
event in which Mr.. Culbertson will
participate.
Instances are rare where a player
after passing on the first round Of
bidding is able to become the de-
clarer and make a small slam, espe-
cially when his hand counts only
one in high honor tricks. Such
an accomplishment was recorded in
the Tubbs- Stockvis national tourna-
ment prize game. Here was the

Model Racing Cars.


A comparative newcomer in the
model field, the racing of miniature
automobiles, has had a phenomenal
growth in the last year or two.
There is an active local club known
as the Anacostia Miniature Racing
Association. This club has been
having some trouble in locating a
suitable place in which to run its
cars and at present is trying to
find vacant building which could
be used for indoor racing this win
ter. Any one knowing of such a
place may call the club secretary,
r. H. Dunbar, Dupont 1921. This
information will be greatly appre-
ciated.
The club is fortunate in being
able to hold its meetings in the
recreation room of one Of its mem
bers, Marty Kopit. Any one inter-
ested in the hobby is invited to
attend these meetings.

Members of the Washington Min

ested in the formation of an Eastern
division of the American Model
Power Boat Association, to include
the clubs in Richmond, Washington,
Baltimore, Philadelphia and prob
ably New York. AS a first step to
this end, the Washington club will
go to Baltimore December 4 to meet
with the Baltimore club and discuss
preliminary plans.
1t is hoped that such divisional
organization will promote better at
tendance at, and competition in,
races along the Atlantic seaboard,
and will result in a sound growth
of the hobby. The A. M. P. B. A.
has recently been reorganized, and
next season promises to be a very
attractive one for the little speed
boats.

more extensive trips. This hobby
therefore has been neglected by
virtual necessity.
Possibly a need was felt to find
something to replace mineralogy.
About six years ago Mr.. Van Heuck-
eroth started a collection Of minia-
ture bottles. This avocation has
been pursued while on vacation trips
to various places, including Ohio,
Illinois and Bermuda. The first
item in this collection was given him
by his sister, and the total has now
reached 100 separate and distinct
items. These bottles make a quite
attractive display and are kept in a
china closet in the owners dining
room.

Government officials 50 far are
unable to estimate the proportion
of British imports that will be
affected.
In the opinion of Department Of
Commerce experts the purchase tax
which will apply to imports into the
United Kingdom, as well as domestic
products, will have little immediate
effect on exports of United States
merchandise. Under the license sys-
tenn introduced at the outbreak Of
the war, the importation into Great
Britain Of most luxury and semi
luxury goods has been drastically
reduced, in order to conserve pur-
chasing power and shipping space
for products regarded as essential
to Britain's war effort.
When levied on imports the
purchase tax will be calculated upon
the duty-paid value. Under the act,
retail traders purchasing on .
wholesale scale will be treated g

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ROCKVILLE. Md, Nov. 1.-Two
hundred and fifty-seven marriage
licenses were issued by the clerk OF
the Circuit Court during October,
establishing record for the office.
The total far exceeded the number
issued during any other month since
the statewide 48-hour wait law be-
came effective in December, 1888.
That the record was due partially,
at least, to selective service regis
tration is indicated by the fact that
up to and including Registration
Day, October 16, more than two
thirds of the months total was
issued. Virginias new health test
law also is held partly responsible
for the increase.
