LESSON II
 Tn my Tuesday article I showed you an easy method of bidding slams when the bid was opened at the one level. Today I shall dis cuss how to bid slams when the opening bid was neither a Forcing 2 Bid in a suit or an opening 2 No trump bid. When the bid Is started at the 2 level the player making the bid has so strong a hand in Honor Trick strength that frequent ly a slam can be made with only an Ace or 9 Kings in the assisting hand. We must therefore modify our responses to enable partner to give us this information.

Pheosonts and Quoil Head
for Timber as Hounds. Run
Hunting Dogs Learn Art OF Flushing
but Birds Fail to Cooperate

A state law provides that for
60 days prior to the open sea-
son on the birds, hunters may
use the fields as training
grounds. Actually, the dogs are
restrained by law from taking
a good healthy bite of the birds
limbs. ---1-
Heretofore, the pheasants,
with their near relatives, the
partridges and the quail, played
ball with the dog-owners by
remaining in the fields, thus
enabling the bowling CANNES to
master the art of flushing, so
that the open season will find
the hunters with experienced
dogs.
This policy, according to re-
ports received this morning, was
declared to be very short-sighs-
ed" by a Council of the Elders
of the Birds.
1t isn't that the BIRDS don
want to cooperate. 1t is simply
that the birds appointed a new
Coordination of National Defense,
who decided that life was pref
ty, life was sweet, and the dogs
could 60 jump in the lake.
On several occasions last year,
when the pheasant family was
about for teaching the dogs
how to catch pheasants, the dogs
became more enthusiastic than
the law allows. Several casual
ties were reported. Nothing SER
ious, you understand, neverthe-
less -.
And 50 today. when the dogs
entered the partridge haunts to
learn the fundamentals Of flush
ing. the usual murmers OF the
wildlife were absent. Instead.
the gentle rustling of the pines
carried q message: Phooey.
