ON BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY
Americas Card Authority

This is the second Of two articles
reviewing a new book, THE Koenig
System of Bidding at Duplicate
Contract Bridge" In bidding slams,
Thomas w. Koenig Of YOUNGSTOWN,
Pa, whose book is designed exclu-
sively for duplicate players, uses
three methods, the minor suit
slam convention" the Blackwood
slam convention, and direct slam
bidding either at a suit or no
trump.
Whenever the partnership bid
ding discloses a combined holding
Of II playing tricks minimum and
a strong possibility Of a suit fit,
the slam try should be made.
The minor suit slam convention"
is preferred over other methods be-
cause of the greater factor of safety,
by the use Of which contracts for
linmakable slams can be avoided.
This convention is never used I'M
less a game forcing bid has pre-
ceded it. II the game forcing bid
was an opening bid Of two in suit,
or an overcall in a suit bid by an
opponent. a bid of either four clubs
or four diamonds initiates the con-
vention. With other game forcing
bids, such as two spades over one
heart, the four-bid in a minor suit
must be made by either partner at
his first opportunity following the
game forcing bid.
When these conditions have been
met. a bid Of four clubs guarantees
trump support and also tells part
ner that at least II tricks are held
by the combined hands. If partner
responds with four diamonds. the
slam invitation has been accepted.
Any other bid, including four no
trump, refuses the slam try, and in-
dicates q desire to sign on. Here
is an example Of its Use:
South: ! spade, 4 clubs. 4 II. T..
hearts. North: 3 hearts, dia-
fnonds, S clubs. 8 hearts.
The bid Of four clubs by South
initiated the slam convention.
Ncrth's response Of four diamonds
accepted it, and asked for aces. The
four no trump bid showed two aces.
and the I'VE club had then asked
for kings. When only one king was
shown by the response. North
signed on IN the proper slam con-
tract.

NOTES
Business And Professional
Women Observe Feb. ~

Since the International Fedora
ton Of Business and Professional
Women was formed in Geneva,
Switzerland, in August, $780, there
have been at one time or another
80 afiliated countries in which OBJ
Servance of International Day un-
der Federation auspices was an an
nual event. This year only II
countries win actively participate in
the traditional observance on Feb
ruary ~. The others are occupied,
overrun by the Axis, or fighting for
their very existence.
1.-THE Role Of Women In Postwar
Rehabilitation" is the subject which
will occupy the attention of the II
AFFILIATED countries with which In
ternational Federation headquarters
in New York city can still maintain
communication. These are Argen-
tina, Australia, Brazil, Canada,
Cuba, Great Britain, New Zealand
South Africa, Sweden. Switzerland
and the United States. In those
countries speakers appearing under
The auspices of National Federations
Or Of individual clubs of business
and professional women will discuss
the contribution women can make
to the rebuilding of ravaged coun-
tries as doctors, nutritionists, nurses,
social workers, housing experts, pSy-
biologists, specialists in vocational
guidance and in many other capaci-
lies. Stress will also be laid upon
the natural aptitudes for such work
which women possess, and upon the
means by which they may obtain
the right to exercise these aptitudes.
Since International Day was in
stituted in 1895, it has always been
observed by some form of meeting
in New York city presided over by
the International president, DR..
Lena Madesin Phillips. This year
DR.. Phillips, who Is abroad in the
interests of the federation, will
participate in the observance in
either Stockholm or London, and
the New York city observance will
be deferred untid her return, when
she will bring a direct message from
declarations abroad as to their re-
Mobilization plans.
However, two nationwide radio
broadcasts, sponsored by Interna-
tional headquarters, will be given
in observance Of the day. From 9:15

THE SITUATION: You, a man,
are taking a woman to dinner and
you have agreed to meet her in a
hotel lobby at six o'clock.
WRONG WAY: Since, unfortun-
ately, most people arrive five or ten
minutes late for social appoint
ments, figure that if you arrive at
the hotel by five minutes past six
you will be in plenty of time.
RIGHT WAY: Get to the hotel by
five minutes of six, so that you will
be sure to arrive first. (You must
not take chance of keeping the
woman waiting, since it is rude for
man to make woman sit in a
public place and wait for him.

A paintbrush of the Northwest is
a handsome shade of red. The
stem is 4 feet high and smooth
leaves grow on it. They are neither
lobed nor crinkled nor toothed like
the leaves usually found on the
paintbrushes. The bracts of the
plant may be many shades of pink,
red or purple. This is an attractive
wildflower to add to your garden.
The most common and handsomest
ones are found around Yosemite,
where they grow in meadows and
moist places from the foothills
clear up to the timber line.
The one found blooming in the
summer in California and Oregon
Is scarlet. It is neither as attractive
nor as tall as the first one, and the
one flourishing in Utah and Nevada
is variable. Sometimes, it is only
II inches high. The leaves are
rough and hairy, and the flowers
red. But they brighten every place
they inhabit. The calyx is covered
with soft white hairs, and the upper
lip of the corolla is bright green.
Castillejas or Indian paintbrushes
are lovely flowers of the West. We
have some of their near cousins in
the East, and the scarlet painted
cup decorates the meadows, prairies
and thickets where the sandy soil
is moist May until July, these
blossoms keep their banners flying
from Maine to Manitoba, south
to Virginia, Kansas and Texas.

Surprise Word Of the Week,


Today's article is going to cause
most Of my readers land especially

OF protest, This time Colby has

mesdames ct messieurs, I do not

port what is in them.
And SO to the matter at hand.
Our surprise word is CONDUIT, "a

not believe it, but best usage is not
"KON-doo-it," as the word is COM
monty pronounced.
OF 10 accepted dictionaries, only
three list "KON-doo-it," and only
then as second choice. Eight list
as first choice: KON-dit. Five list
as first or second choice: KUN-dit.

kinds of Castilleja; most of them
are perennials and usually para
site on the roots of other plants.
Nearly all are conspicuous and very
handsome because of their brilliant
bracts, which are colored like flow
ers and set at the tip of the stem.
These gaudy flowers were named
for Castillejo, a Spanish botanist.
Indian paintbrush is an excellent
name because the flower cluster and

There are usually several stems
springing from the woody roots.
Along these stems the leaves grow

They are green below, but they
gradually merge into the colored
bracts as they reach the top.
