Four Easy WaYs
To Bid a "SIom"

DOWN through the years has
l. ragged the controversy of the
proper method of bidding grand
slam" in bridge. Nearly everyone
can rush forth eagerly with bis
advice but no one can guarantee
that his ideas are foolproof.
Four top bridge players of the
land have gone on record in the Sep
tember issue of Good Housekeeping
Magazine to tell the painting public
what theg think should be the first
requisites for bidding (and making)
"grand SIAM.
Easley Blackwood demands infor-
nation about controls, simplicity
and, not entirely unnaturally, the use
of the Blackwood Slam Convention.
Morrie Ellis advocates recognizing
slam possibilities in the earliest bid
ding, "don't", says he, "keep your
partner guessing what you have.
Tell your partner Immediately by
making skip bid in your best suit,
provided you have either a fit in
partners suit, or suit of your own
which does not require trump sup
port"
Robert McPherran says sound slam
contracts are not achieved by violent
leaps. He believes that the slow and
easy method of exchanging all the
information possible and recognition
r,f 10 ha
bidding alive will produce the best
results. Mrs. Ralph c. Young thinks
that hypnosis of your opponents
would be effective but, if that fails,
she says that timing and, like NJ
Ellis, fully informing your partner
in the early stages Of bidding are
about the most important recipes,
always providing, Of course, that
you hold the cards.

Paul, is touching and sweet, and
decidedly small town. The pair met,
Miss Hamman says when Deanna,
then only fourteen, was making
her first film on which Vaughn
was working as an assistant di-
rector. (He worked in a similar
capacity on three other Durbin
pictures) But Deanna was too busy
learning how to act, and Vaughn
too wrapped up in his work for
either to notice the other.
When Vaughn took Deanna out
on her very first date, Miss Ham,
man reveals that it was love at
first sight. Since then neither
Vaughn or Deanna has had date
with another boy or girl. Right
from the start the Pauls' marriage
has been a bang-up success. They
like the same things = football
games and picnics, and bowling,
horrendous mystery stories, tennis,
silly jokes and amateur movies.
Right now, Deanna is pleased as
a child with new toy about the
house the two are building in
Brentwood, California. 1t manages
to be the center of every conversa-
tion you have with the Pauls, Miss
Hamman says. For weeks, the
couple have been haunting nurser-
les, and Deanna's chatter is de-
cidedly horticultural, spiked with
references to the sycamores, acias,
oaks, and naples they are trans
planting.

Samuel Cole and Joseph Ben
son caught so pounds of trout on
Friday afternoon at Bombay Hook
They caught them nearly as fast
on Saturday morning at low tide
an unusual thing, as these fish
seldom bite at the hook excepting
at high tide. So many trout at
this time of the year have never
been known at the mouth of the
Smyrna River.
About 100000 baskets of peach
es have been shipped from Bren-
ford, and something more than
this from Kenton. No peaches
have been shipped from Clayton
this week. There were peaches in
the orchards of the later varieties
but the prices did not justify
throwing the baskets away or
them. During the season about
100000 baskets We're shipped from
this point.
A farmer from Kent County
Md, who was in Clayton last week,
was questioned about his peach
crop. He said that he had big
peach crop but very unsatisfactory
returns. He dilated shtrongly on
the shipping and the handling in
the cities. In answering the ques-
tion as to his varieties, he said
that he didn't know anything
about names or pedigrees in peach
es, all he wanted to know was had
they the size and color, and he had
shipped good peaches with poor
results. He was asked if he had
finished his crop and he said not
quite, he believed there was still
some Smock yet to pick.
The Summer is past and the sea-
son for recreation and pleasure is
over, and the time for work has
again come, and from present ap-
pearances and from what those say
who pretend to know that there
will be plainly of it to do all
through the autumn and winter.
1t is said that a million dollars a
day is coming into this country
from Europe and it is thought that
this will be kept up for some time,
which of necessity will make bust
ness brisk for the coming fall,
winter and spring. Plenty of work
at fair wages, will keep any ma
lion out of mischief, and discomfort
and want will be almost unknown.
Let the gold come in.
John A. Hoffecker, j. E. Carter,

he remainder were croakers,

are usually gone into deeper water
before this, and the fishermen put
their boats into winter quarters,
but there We're a dozen out that

being about 1000 fish. The trout
Used to be an entirely early sum-
ner fish, but they have got to re-
