The bidding:
North East South West
"a Pass 81 Pass
"a Pass 40 Pass
Ga Double Redouble Pass
Pass Pass
Opening lead: Queen, of hearts.
There are various types of doubles
in contract bridge. There Is the
simple take-out double, the penalty
double, the strategic double, made
for the purpose of soaring the oppo-
sition out of one contract and into
another, the lead directing double of
slam contracts, made for the pur-
pose of indicating to partner the
proper opening lead; and then there
is the mad double" born strictly of
irritation with the opponents be-
cause they appear to be holding all
the cards. Such one was perpe-
trated by East in today's hand.
The bidding proceeded according
to Hoyle for several rounds. South
could hardly believe his ears when
his partner opened with a game de-
mand bid, but he bided his time and
made his responses in logical order,
first the five card suit and then the
four. When North jumped to six
spades it was not South's intention
to pass. He confided in me that he
was about to bid seven spades
Though seven no trump would have
been happier choice1. When East
doubled, however, that idea van
ished into thin air and the redouble
was routine. This points moral.
1t is never good policy to double
the opponents when they are on
their way. East's double was i'll ad-
vised on several counts. In the first
place he had no reason to be con-
WINGED that the bidding was going to
subside. From the indicated tempo
Of the bidding it seemed not too re-
mote that they would bid up to eight
or nine of something or other.
Secondly, the double might serve
as a warning to the opposition that
the trumps were banked and might
drive them to six no trump which
could be spread. Thirdly, there were
few points to be gained by the dou-
BILE with the added consideration
that the opponents were given the
option to redouble if they saw fit
to do so.
East led the queen of hearts which
declarer won and one round of
trumps revealed the bad news.
There was now only one hope and
that was that East would have to
follow to all the high cards. De-
clarer therefore cashed the king of
hearts and the three high diamonds.
Then the ace and king of clubs and
then another club was ruffed by the
declarer even though it was high.
This brought both North and East
down to nothing but trumps. A little
spade put East in and the forced
trump return permitted declarer to
make the balance of the tricks. 1t is
true that seven no trump could have
been made because OF the fortunate
break in clubs, but even had it been
bid the net result would have been
only 100 points more than the result
obtained above.

Yes, We Have No Bununos

Some produce dealers of the
Southeast have revived-and revis-
ed wacky song of the '20s. The
new version is: Yes, we have no
bananas-but we got plenty of plan
tains.
A plantain, for your information,
is tropical, banana-like fruit, it
looks very desirable, according to
those who have recently complained
to OPA about buying them. The
only drawback, say the complain
ants, is that the taste is extremely
different; in fact, say some, the plan
tains have to be cooked before they
are edible. The plantain plants also
say that even if the fruits flavor
lived up to its appearance, the price
seemed little over-ceilinganyhow
and how about that, Mr.. OPA?
After consultation with the De-
partment of Agriculture, the Re-
gional OPA office in Atlanta ruled
that plantains, regardless of SIM
ilarity in appearance, are not only
not bananas, but aren't even under
price control.

try high schol teachers was As dol
lars a month for eight months of the
year-and they often had to wait
long after it was due for that pit
tance Most teachers salaries are a
disgrace to this country which claims
it is well-educated. / note that one
of the newspapers which uses this
column in running front-page edi-
torial campaign to raise the salaries
of the teachers of the community.
This is most commendable and
should be an example to every pa
per in the country.
Mrs. Minna Miller of this city was
too smart for a couple of hoodlums
who tried to steal her money. She
was walking down the street with
the payroll of the firm for which she
works, when she noticed two young
men who seemed to be following
her. fastening her steps, she tried
to get to the doorway of the build
ing where she works, but they gain
ed too rapidly on her. Just before
they caught up with her, Mrs. Miller
managed to slip the payroll envelope
out of her bag and up her coat
sleeve, unseen by them. They grab
bed her bag and ran. In it was SO.
Safely reposing in her sleeve was
the $l,700 payroll.
They say you can get anything you
want in New York if you can pay
for it. The Town and Country Res
/ taurant at Park Avenue and 49th
Street is good example. If you long
for the cuisine of the city, the Town
part of the restaurant probably has
your answer from lobster to Long
Island duckling. Should your tastes
run to the old-fashioned country vic
tuals-as mine does-there is an ad-
joining room decorated like grand
mothers kitchen, with coal oil
lamps, old-timey clock on the wall
and red-checkered table-cloths on
the farmhouse tables, rich contrast
to the ornate decor of the citified
room. In the country section, hot
popovers abound and you can even
get salt-cured country ham and
brown gravy. The chicken is actual
ly fried somewhat like mother used
to do it and the colored walters re-
mind one of the courtesy of South
Carolina. The prices are not cheap
and you have to stand in line to get
in-but it's worth it, if you're hun
cry.

So This Is New York
BY North Colldhun

All one has to do to know that
spring has arrived in New York is
journey over the Madison Square
Garden, that perennial setting of
seasonal events. There the circus is
in full flower. Some of the too-busy
grown-ups in this town may know
very little about this but any kid
from Brooklyn to the Bronx can tell
you in glowing terms the full details
Of this wonderful event. It's just
about the same circus that our ia
theirs and mothers saw when they
were young, with elephants and
clowns and roasted peanuts as poig-
nant reminders of our most halycon
days. 1t is good that the circus can
come every year, and nothing must
ever stop it. For the circus and
spring and childhood happiness all
60 together.

Brilliant, effective and charming, he
