In all probability, South holds the acc of diamonds. Gresham decided that if his partner held three hearts and three spades, he probably could make six, and think his overcall of six hearts over three diamonds was good one. Gresham thought that North's double probably indi- cated that he held four hearts to the pack, and the six spade bid was 8 good one, although he could have made six hearts doubled also.
 It would certainly have been diff ficult fo rWest to get into this bid ding.

NEW BOOK WRITTEN BY DR. CILMARTIN
Latest Dictionary Guide
 Receives High Praise Throughout Nation

Publication of Handbook to Web- ster's Students Dictionary" by Dr. John G. Gilmartin, assistant super intendent of schools here, has brought high praise from critics throughout the nation.
 In this, the fourth of 8 series of works written expressly to explain the. uses of, and to stimulate in- terest in, the country's best known dictionary, Dr. Gilmartin, through the medium Of games and quizzes, proves that the stud of the diction- ary' can be both pleasant and prof itable. The hood, which is published by the American Book Company, is being circulated among the high schools and colleges of the country.
 A prolific writer, Dr. Gilmartin is the author of twenty-two books, including four works on mathema- tics, nine on vocabulary building and practical English, and nine on spell ing. The popularity of these produc- tions may be gauged from the fact that his Word Study, published by Prentice Hall, Inc, is now in it's seventeenth printing. His Building Your Vocabulary" put out by the saln0 house, is in it's eighth print ing, and more than 156,O00 copies of his mathematics books are used in the schools.
 When Dr. Gilmartin was asked how many of his books were sold by his different publishers, who are Scribner's Sons, Prentice Hall, Inc, Noble and Noble, NeWson 6 Com. pany, and the Walter J. Black Com pany, he said he had never kept an exact score, but was sure the num- Der would approximate 600, ,000. He added that he thought this figure would be appreciably increased by the post war publication of two books, the manuscripts of which he commenced year ago last summer while convalescing from an opera tion. He declined to give the exact nature of the works but did say that one had been accepted and con- tract signed with the biggest pub fishing house in the country for 8 book designed not merely for col- leges bu tfor professional people and adults in general.
 He also added that though he was not working on any new material at present, he was sure that the sum- mer vacation would see him busy with some manuscript.

LEARN BRIDGE FAST
2-Skctching the Game

so, YOU never have seen n
game of bridge? And you would
like to play tonight? If you know
three players who will be sympa-
thctic. go ahead and join them.
This sketch will give YOU an idea
OF what it is all about. so you can
let them guide you in the rest of
IT. II You don't know any such
group. it will give you a general
view of the game as a starter, and
succeeding lessons will carry you
deeper into it.
Contract bridge requires four
players. Two are partners against
the other two. Partners sit oppo-
site each other.
You Use a standard deck of So
cards. They are dealt one at
time. each getting l3. Every play
er sorts his cards into suits
spades together. hearts. together,
diamonds together and clubs to-
gcther-holding them up so 9TH
ers don't 500 them.
Then begins what is called the
bidding. We will 20 farther into
that later. 1t is followed by the
play. Since the bidding is based on
what the different players think
their cards can do in the play. it
is important to understand the
play first.
One playcr-whosc identity is
determined by the bidding-is
called the "dcclarer." The player
at his left 'leads''-that is. he
plays n card face up on the table.
Then the partner of the dcclarcr
puts his entire hand on the table,
face up, opposite the declarer.
with his cards sorted according to
suits.
The declarer does all of the
playing Of that deal for his side.
He plays both his hand and the
faced hand. which is called the
dummy" All of the play is
clockwiseGHthe same direction as
