The August recommended rate Of
production is 22,700 barrels per day.
Unless there is an increased drilling
program, it is believed that Montana
viii continue to stay below the rec
commended rate. National demand Is
estimated by the Bureau Of Mines at
8 percent less than the actual demand
in August, 1941. The total is actually
93 500 barrels more than the demand
estimated for July, due largely to
military requirements.
Total gasoline demand for the sec
ond quarter Of 1912 was about Q per-
cent below demand in the same period
Of last year and the third quarter is
expected to show decline Of II per-
cent, compared with last year. Stocks
Of finished and unfinished gasoline
need not be built up during the winter
months, says the bureau, so stocks may
be reduced TO between 20 and rs mil
lion barrels by Sept. 80. Fuel oil has
been increased to % percent, with
gasoline yield Of 500 percent.

There was nOtnlQs 10 IHe play,
for South made but seven trump
tricks and suffered penalty OF
100 points less 100 honors. South
was not a bit sorry about her ter
rible bidding, but scolded North for
not providing a trick or two! North
thought of a dozen biting retorts,
but choked them all back and bit his
lip instead.
But this is common error TO
warrant comment by us for the
benefit OF those readers who have
had similar experiences. The theory
OF the pre- -emptive bid is that the
bid may injure your opponents in
one of two ways: 1t may shut them
out of the bidding entirely or 1t
may prevent them from getting 10
their best contract. A fundamental
principle OF pre-emptive bidding IS
to bid your all the first time and
hold your peace forever after.
That principle depends on the
theory of the pre-emptive bid. II
your high bid doesn't shut the op-
ponents out altogether, 1t may get
them into a bad or at least inferior
contract. Perhaps your partner can
set them at their bid, but Is AFRAID
to double for fear of soaring them
into some makable contract. Per-
haps they have missed slam
Whatever the situation, you nave
shot your bolt and must trust 10
luck that your bid has had some
GOOD result. There is no guarantee,
after all, that any defensive bid Will
bring good results all OF the time
incidentally, don't condone Souths
bid on the ground that East and
West had slam in spades: Ihey
hadn't bid it, and South had
a chance to pass four spades.
