AS have emphasized repeatedly,
trying to write elegantly is the cause
of most bad writing-the writer
buries what he had to say under a

The first law, then, of good writ

courses in writing loony logics, i. e.,
sentences in which misplaced modi-

Mr.. Dale is not the kind of player
who always rescues when his part

card suits and a singleton club he
thought there was a pretty fair
chance of finding a better spot in

He tried two diamonds first with
the idea of taking a shot at hearts
II he got doubled in a loud voice.
But nobody could touch the two
diamond bid and there he stayed.
Many players overdo this business
Of doubling an opponent who over
calls. There is saying, when an
opponent overcalls in a suit you
were going to bid, double him." You
can forget this one. You don't
double to indicate the opponent has
bid your suit. You double to make
points. Or you should.
Mr.. Abel's double in today's hand
was bad. His best chance to make
points was to pass. If he had done
80, Mr.. Dale would hardly have
tried rescue. Mr.. Champion also
would have passed, and Mrs. Keen
would have been set at a bid of
two clubs.
The moral is don't double when
you have practically nothing outside
the opponents bid suit. Wait until
the enemy is well within the trap
before pouncing on him. Mr.. Abel
had no defense against either red
suit, and what assurance did he
have that his opponents could not
jump to one Of those suits? None
ut all.
Mr.. Abel also had no information
about whether his partner had
opened a maximum or minimum
hand. If he and Mr.. Dale had
passed and then Mr.. Champion had
doubled, showing over-minimum
strength and versatility, then Mr..
Abel could have passed, turning Mr..
Champions double into a penalty
double.
As 1t was, Mr.. Dale made three |
diamonds handily. He appreciated |
and used-Mr. Abel's warning
that clubs were very sour.

American Automobiie AsSoetoHoh
With Christmas and New Years
Day dinners in the offing. this
107-mile motor trip is suggested
by the American Automobile As
sociation. 1t is particularly ap-
propriate at this time of the year,
because it takes the visitor
through some of the most i'm
portant wild bird and turkey rails
ing and processing areas in Mary
land.
It can be made in one day of
comparatively leisurely driving.
If a weekend journey is desired,
1t is suggested that the overnight
stop be made at either Charlotte
Hall or Upper Marlboro, Md. Good
accommodations are available.
The trip includes sites of a great
university and an old military
academy, race track, a part of
an agricultural center and part of
the near -tideWater area of the
Old Line State, which was once
dotted by the tepees of thousands
of American Indians.
Drive carefully, as the roads,
while we'll surfaced, are domi-
nantay two-lane highways and late
autumn fogs may pop up, or the
road be sprinkled with dampened
leaves which often make traction
of automobile wheels difficult. or
icy frost may coat the surface.

Vocotioning in West Indies
Nav Touch Record Level

The popularity of the sunny
lands of the West Indies as q
refuge from the annual blasts OF
winter in the United States prom
ises to be as great as ever this
season.
Pan American World Airways
one of the airlines serving the
area, holds that travel this winter
to the Caribbean will equal the
record volume of last winter.
If there were a change in in
ternational conditions, forecasts
for travel prospects would change
too. But these factors presently
point to a good season:
The lure of tropical climate and
a foreign vacation is ever-increas-
ing. Accommodations are better
than ever. with all the leading
tourist centers possessing first
rate hotels, often of the luxury
variety.
Governments are actively en-
gagged in planning tourist well
comes. People remain monied de-
spite imitation and air travel costs
have resisted the inflationary
trend. Nearness of Latin Ameri-
can resorts appeals to tourists who
do not wish to wander far from
home in an unsettled world.
An old favorite of American
tourists is Cuba. The charm of
Havana's foreign scenes and GUS
toms, the friendliness of the peo-
pie, the gayety of the capitals
night life and the scenic beauty
of the island leave little to be
desired.
