Its own percuiar bulls and bears.
Gambling at the bridge tables does
not always take the form Of over
bidding. Sometimes a player makes
a deliberate underbid in the hope
that by so doing he may better
elicit the precise information that
he Is after. The underbid may be a
distinct gamble, in that it risks
pass from partner and the conse-
quent missing of q game.
North in today's hand made q
bid that must be considered un-
sound according to all standards,
but he did so with his eyes wide
open. We refer to his rebid Of three
clubs. He risked this glaring UNDER
bid in the hope that he might in
this manner obtain support for one
OF his two suits. You may not ap-
prove of his earlier calls but I
think he handled the subsequent
rounds quite capably.
South responded to the opening
diamond bid with a temporizing call
Of one spade. North'S rebid was two
clubs and South went to two no.
trump. So far the bidding was right
out Of the book. It was at this point
that North made the technically i'm
proper bid of three clubs. This nor
mally shows an unbalanced hand Of
moderate strength only, and one
that Is not particularly well adapted
to no-trump play. 1t suggests to
partner the propriety of playing the
hand for part score only, and it
naturally follows that there Is a
grave danger that partner will pass.
If in this sequence of bids North
has a strong hand but wishes to
insist upon a suit contract, 1t is in
cumbent upon him to jump the bid,
which in this case would cal for a
bid of four clubs. "
However. he got by the danger of
a pass when South returned TO three /
diamonds. North now attempted to
make 1t clear to his partner that he
had all the time entertained grand
ideas by bidding three hearts. This
could hardly be construed as a heart
suit, since diamonds had already
been bid and clubs rebid. It was
obviously an ace showing bid in
tended to correct the deleterious
effect Of the earlier underbid. South
was made to realize the Importance
of his several key cards and con-
sidered it important to show the
ace of clubs.
At this juncture North considered
it high time to stop fiddling and
straightway contracted for a slam
in diamonds, the fulfillment of
which, it will be seen. required no
special talent.

What's in a Name?

@. Does Carmen Miranda's name
have any meaning?-L. T.
A. It does, and, whether by de-
sign or coincidence, the name could
hardly be more appropriate for a
singer. Carmen means song" Mi
randa means worthy Of admira-
tion."
@. A friend insists that Ulysses S.
Grant was not the correct name of
the 18th President. How can that
be so?-Mrs. j. M. v. -
A. The general was christened
Ulysses Hiram Grant. But the Con-
gresham who appointed him to
West Point got the name wrong,
writing Simpson" instead of Hiram.
Grant, on learning that he had been
officially entered as ulysses Simp-
son Grant" accepted the new mid
die name rather than go through
the red tape of having the error cor
rected on the academy's records.
The correct pronunciation Is: yoo-
LISS-eez. The name means "a
hater."
Holyoke: Please tell us how to
pronounce the surname of Joseph
Szigeti, famous violinist. I have
heard it as "SHEE- git-ee" on the
radio, but my musician friends
doubt whether it is correct.-Mrs.
G. A. P.
Answer: The correct pronuncia-
ton is: SIG-eh-tee ('tsig" as in
"signal). In the Anglicized pro-
nunciation the "e" in the second
syllable is obscured. thus: SIG
uh-tee.

or Radio iisteners
By Harry Macarthur

Radio broadcasters probably have
set this year down already as the
year when radio stopped being a
private fight and everybody tried
to get In. It may have been started
by the Federal Communications
Commissions sBlue Book" little
more than year ago. This served
as a sort of fioodlight, setting radio
forth In bold relief as a very large
greenhouse standing beside a rock
pile. "Oh, brother" said almost
every one, 1t seemed, "look what
target we have here"
Much Of the criticism Of radio has
been justified, we will not be the
last to admit. There is, II you will
permit this weeks understatement,
some room for Improvement in
radio. Some Of the criticism, how
ever, has been a bit disorderly.
When a columnist announces. that
all that is broadcast is drivel, he Is
either feebleminded or tossing
rock at the greenhouse In the hope
of gaining some attention. In the
first place he can't listen to all that
is broadcast and In the second place
much of 1t is far from drivel.
When another columrist tells his
readers that all Of radio is so vulgar
that he can't listen to 1t for five
minutes at stretch. as one did
recently, he Is automatically dis
qualifying himself as both q re-
porter and critic. Radio has every
right to tell him that a man who
does not listen to the radio has no
more right to criticize it than he
has to lecture on, the state Of the
novel without ever having read
book. Radio people do not find
this sort OF thing helpful criticism.
When the listeners rise up, how
ever-as they have this season, for
instance. to bite the hand that was
feeding their children too much
horror-the broadcasters pay some
attention. There are those broad
casters who feel it IS the RESPONSE
biIity of radio to please It's listeners.
The listeners never will improve
radio, any more than those who
read books will raise the level of
the novel, but the attitude does
help explain radios slavery to the
Hooper ratings.
Bob Hopes program, for example,
never changes, unless the Califor-
mia weather does or Bing Crosby
sells his racehorses. Criticize Hope,
though, and his Hooper is quoted
in your teeth Gid. The great
trouble with the Hooper ratings,
broadcasters know as well as any
one, is that they can't tell what
happened to approximately 10000
600 people who could have listened
to Hope, but chose not to do so.
