In photography, anybody who buys two
dollar camera is an amateur, but in radio an
amateur, or ham, must get federal license
before he can go on the air. Not only must he
send and receive code at minimum of thir-
teen words (sixty-five characters) per minute,
but he must pass stiff exam on radio theory,
practice and regulations. About fifty per cent
funk the first time.
These part-time enthusiasts boast of more
5OO-watt stations today than there are in the
commercial broadcasting field! And although
they were forced to operate on the useless"
high-frequency bands in the great broadcast
boom of twenty years ago, they startled the
world by discovering the undreamed-of DO
tentialities of short-wave and ultra short
contributed to every major advance known
to radio.
Indeed, it was ham" who opened the
eyes of the Navy to the possibilities of short
wave seventeen years ago when he joined the
Pacific Fleet on maneuvers to do experiment
tai work.
They laughed, as the advertisements say.
when he came aboard with his pin box" set
packed in two suitcases. But the snickers
evaporated at Hawaii when the amateur
called his home station at Hartford, Connec-
ticut, 5000 miles away, and got an answer
in fifteen minutes without relay. You can
appreciate the official astonishment when YOU
know that the great 5000 watt transmitters
of the fleet could broadcast only about 1,6OO
miles under the most ideal conditions!
1t was not short wave, however, that first
brought the amateurs to the attention of the
military. Ever since the World War the Army
and Navy have encouraged and defended
them - and with reason enough for in 1917
the 1000 radio operators who rallied to the
colors were hams" recruited by the Ameri-
can Radio Relay League, the amateurs or
ganization. Today, with sixty radio men on
a single battleship, with every tank in the
field depending upon radio for its instruc-
tions, qualified operators are already at a
premium.
1t is estimated that an army of 1000, 900
men will need 1900 radio operators, apart

Lesson 4.
 The 1941 System of Contract has been greatly simplified when re- spending to partners opening bid My readers who conscientiously fol- lowed rules will remember no doubt that the requirements needed to raise partners bid, varied according to the distribution of the hand. Now that void suit or singleton has been added to the Honor Trick Ta- ble raises are no longer based on short suits. They are graded rela- tive to Trump strength.
 If there is no intervening bid, raise your partners opening bid once with 4 Trump and Honor Trick, or Trumps Cat least o xx or J 10 x) and l plus Honor Tricks. For example,:
 s. 1Ox
 H. KJxX
 D. Kxxx
 c. xxx
 With this hand, if your partner opens with 1 Spade, you can bid 2 Spades if there has not been an intervening bid. Had your partners opening bid been l Heart you would also have a raise If his opening had been l Diamond-you have plus Honor Tricks and biddable Heart suit, your response would be l Heart. If there is no intervening bid following your partners open ing bid always make some response when your hand contains an Honor Trick. If you do not have the re- QuirementS for a raise or a suit take-out, then respond with Mo- trump. Suppose you held this hand:

At least 1-2 of your Honor Trick strength should be outside of the trump suit. Did you notice in the above examples,-as the Trump sup port weakened the Honor Trick re- quirement increased? A raise of partners suit from to 4 is shut-cut bid-its purpose is to make it difficult for the op- ponents to enter the bidding. The requirements necessary to make this bid are: , Trumps-nOt more than 1 1-2 Honor Tricks, and unbalanced distribution. Hands with freak dis tribution require very little Honor Trick strength, occasionally 1-2 Honor Trick or less is sufficient. With either of these hands jump partners opening bid of l Heart to 4 Hearts.

Hearts. You have 3 Honor Tricks and 2 biddable suits, but do not have enough Honor Trick strength to bid either 4 card suit at the level of 3. With 2 Honor Tricks the hand is too strong to pass,- the best bid is raise to 2 Spades, even though you do not have the Trump support generally desired. If your partners opening spade bid was made on a weak suit, he should not rebid that suit, as your single raise has not indicated strong trump support.
 With the following hands in re- sponse to your partners opening bid of Heart, your bid is 3 Hearts. This double raise is a Forcing To Game Bid. S. KQx

Popular Fallacy Number Two will
bear answering, too. 1t is that slavery
was taken quietly by those who were
enslaved, and that only extreme gener-
osity or acts of Providence ever re-
leased the enslaved colored man. False,
quite false. 1t is true that the Massa-
chusetts settlers were very often only
two jumps ahead of persecution them
selves. 1t is natural that there should
prevail among the settlers of this sec
ton, more so than in Georgia or the
Carolinas later, an appreciation of
human liberty that might conceivably
even revolt at the profits to be found
in selling and exploiting humanity.
But this was by no means general;
many time have the State House
walls resounded to pleas for the ligiti-
IMITATION of the slave traffic, and just
as loudly have they rung with the
efforts of slaves to free themselves or
to recover indemnities from masters
who had illegally enslaved them. You
may find some pride in the fact that
not only did colored men make valiant
efforts to combat their enslavement,
but the women of the period were by
no means backward in this respect.
Perhaps the first woman to be publicly
executed in Massachusetts was a slave
woman whose resentment against her
