When the question Is raised as to
the proper way uf handing . GER
tain combination Of cards it Is not
always possible to give q precise
answer. It depends largely upon
what happens to be your goal One
line Of play may be correct il the
maximum number Of tricks is re-
qutred, yet another attack is indi-
Gated where safety. is the prime
consideration. Such things as the
fear OF permitting one opponent to
obtain the lead may have an Inn
portant bearing on the manner Of
playing the cards In question.
South became declarer at D con-
tract Of three no trump. 1t should
be pointed out, however, that his
jump to two no trump after he had
opened the bidding was distinctly
unjustified. While he has more
than an opening bid 1t is not sum
GENTLY more to justify Jump. Be-
fore taking such action the opening
bidder should hold about III tricks
in excess of his opening bid. After
the jump rebid North would have
raised to three with considerably
less than he actually had, in which
case the final contract would have
been extremely unsound. 1t will BIZ
seen that even If South had made
simple rebid Of one no trump the
bidding would not have died for
North held enough to offer raise.
In all close cases Ii Is well for the
opener to lean towards the con-
servative side whereas the re-
sponder under similar conditions
should resolve all doubts in favor
OF, aggressive action.
The 10 of spades was opened and
the queen forced the ace. Declarer
could see the probability of at least
nine tricks in sight, but the danger
was that East would obtain the lead
and come through his spade hold
ing. Declarer might have ducked
the first spade, intending to run
East out OF the suit before taking
the club flnesse into his hand, but
had he adopted that line of play
West would have won the second
spade and abandoned that suit in
favor of diamond shift.
Declarer planned the play OF the
hand in manner which was calcu-
lated to keep East out of the, lead.
He led low club to the king and
followed with the jack. This is nor
mally improper play, but South was
not SO much concerned with the
idea of having the jack win the
trick. If+West had the queen he
was perfectly welcome to 1t mas
much as West was not in a po-
sition to continue the attack
against spades and nine tricks were
therefore assured. II East hap
pened to have both the queen and
the 10 of clubs, declarer was help
less on any line Of play.
East covered the jack with the
queen Git would not have made any
difference II he had not), and when
VESTS 10 dropped South was able
to score 10 tricks.

Gathers Interesting Statistics.
The professors survey came up
with some statistics interesting to
those who tip and wonder If they
are doing the right thing.
AS things are going now, about 68
per cent Of the tippers and 95 per
cent Of the tippees approve Of the
practice. But SO per cent OF those
who disapprove Of tipping confessed
they continue to pay because they
fear the icy stares.
Most tipping is going on in res
taurants, with So per cent of those
questioned leaving something for the
waiter, the most frequent tip being
10 per cent and the average being
15.5 per cent.
Eighty-nine per cent tip at night
clubs, leaving an average of 1873 per
cent of the check. Taxi drivers are
tipped by 81 per cent of their pas
sengers, at an average rate of 1874
per cent.
Shoe clerks and salesgirls are out
of luck in most instances, but 81 to
S6 per cent tip hat check girls, bar
bers or beauticians and shoeshine

boys. The average tip to bargers is
16 per cent, to beauticians. 40 per
cent. and to bootblacks, fiat 5 cents.
Few Concerned by Inequality.
Only one person out of 10 said he
felt that tipping a person implies
the servitor is socially beneath the
Upper.
DR.. Crespi said he and his associ-
ates feel tipping is an aristocratic
hangover which is inconsistent with
the democratic assumptions of the
equality and dignity of men," but the
fact that tipping may be undemo-
cratic in its implications is mo as
surance that the public views the
custom in such light"
Eighty-two per cent of the tippers
and 88 per cent of the tippees said
