? That the pass is sometimes far
more risky procedure than the cleo
tion to bid is thought that Is apt
to escape the casual player. When
the defender who is last to speak
decides to pass and permit the op-
position to play a critical contract,
he risks the loss of what that con-
tract will yield, which In the case OF
q slam, for example, may run into
something more than pin money.
Whereas, by deliberately overbidding
with intent to sacrifice he can usu-
ally estimate within one or two
hundred points of what the total
loss will be and in that manner
place a limit on the amount OF the
damages. It's really in line with the
principles of insurance.
South opened with one heart and
West chose to overcan with one
spade. Most players prefer to make
a takeout double with hands of this
type, but it is not my purpose to
quarrel with West on this account.
He felt that unless partner could
act voluntarily there would be no
game for his side and chose the less
aggressive bid. North raised to two
hearts, East to two spades and
South, naturally, contracted for
game. :.
Here again West exposed himself
to the charge of being overcautious
by failing to bid four spades. But
there Is something to be said on his
behalf. He was faced with rather
close question and, inasmuch as his
partner still had voice in the pro-
ceedings, he preferred to let East
make the final decision for his side.
West held sound defensive values
and If partner had any high-card
strength, four hearts might readily
be set, whereas it was by no means
certain that a four-spade contract
could be fulfilled. 1t is with East's
decision to pass four hearts that we
are inclined to take issue. From ms
standpoint it was highly unlikely
that four hearts could be defeated
and the loss at four spades could
hardly be severe. He argued that he
was vulnerable, but seemed to over
look the fact that his partner was,
too, and was well aware of 1t when
he made his overcall Consequently
reasonably good hand could be ex-
pected from him.
1t will be seen that against any
thing but perfect defense the four
spade contract will be fulfilled. When
South cashes the king of hearts, he
must shift to club and North must
permit 1t TO hold, else South win be
unable to obtain the ruff.
South almost got away with his
four-heart contract. but East liter
ally and figuratively rose to the oc-I
casion. The king of spades was
opened and won with the ace. A
trump was led to dummy and then
low club away from the ace. Had
East played secondhand low, de-
clarer would have forced West to
win the trick and then the clubs
could be established before the king
of diamonds could be attacked. But
East, realizing that II declarer had
the king and jack OF clubs, the de-
fense was lost, played the queen.
When 1t held the trick the shift to
the queen of diamonds was routine.

@Potters' Field means Gods acre

Brook Trout.

Brook or speckled trout is the fa-
vorite game-fish of nearly every
American angler. The trout Is
smart. He hides among roots at the
edge of his favorite stream and he
leaps clear of water for insects.
When captured by a brightly col
ored artificial fly, he is angry at his
own stupidity, endeavoring with
might and main to shake himself
loose from the thing in his mouth.
Brook trout demand clear, cold.

Sluggish muddy waters never yield
a speckled trout. You do not find
these trout in Illinois. But in creeks
and brooks in Wisconsin, Michigan,
New York and New England.
When the sun shines through the
clear water of the brook or stream
YOU may see handsome trout lying
perfectly still among the roots OF

that they will not support use

will be motivated not by Commu-

France offered the Communists
the most fertile grounds in which
to stir up reaction against deval-

But the economic and political

some extent at least, to this arti-
fetal stimulant.
In spite of Winston Churchill's
thunderous denunciation of the
Labor regimes action, and his de-
mand for new elections which
would bring into Parliament a
Conservative majority, the Labor
government won its confidence
test handily. with the Conserva-
tives abstaining from voting on a
motion which suspended them on
the horns of dilemma.
A mo" vote would have put the
Conservatives on record against
virtually all the Labor government
has done to improve social con-
ditions. This they did not want
to do, for in the coming election
campaign-whether it be this fall
or next SUMMERTIME Tories will
direct their fire not so much to-
ward repeal of what the Laborites
have done as toward a more
efficient administration Of social
services and a reduction Of taxes
which greater efficiency will make
possible.
French Situation Different.
The question Of an early elec-
ton may not be decided until the
middle of this month, when the
Labor Party meets to weigh the
advantages of appealing to the
country now, before the full ef-
fects of devaluation are known,
or waiting until the general elec-
ton next summer at the normal
expiration of the governments
term.
The situation is considerably
different in France, where the
threat of a cabinet crisis is i'm
minent as the Communists press
forward in their campaign for in
creased wages to take care of the
increased cost Of living resulting
from the devalued franc.
