seem, smell, sound, taste, feel, look,

is an adjective; hence, it sounds bad,
it smells bad; it tastes bad; the

bad; I look bad; I feel bad.

900 Americans
Visit France in Year

PARIS. - More than 250,000
Americans visited France in 1850.
A number visited regions which
had been overlooked by tourists
for a long time: the sunny towns
inland from the Mediterranean:
Bordeaux and the surrounding
wine country: the chateaux area.

Dbl. Pass Pass Pas
Opening lead, queen of clubs.
Myriads of bridge players still
labor under the fallacious doctrin,
that doubles of part-score contract.
should not be made without tn,
holding of two trump tricks, where
such doubled contracts, if fulfilled
will yield a game.
Doubling should be done on 6
simple arithmetic basis. Add what
tricks you expect to take to the
number you have reason to expect
from partner, allow one trick fol
margin of error, and let her go
Partner, of course, is to exercise a
certain amount of discretion. II
his hand Is going to be disappoint-
ment, from the defensive stand
point, he should not leave the
double in. That is what is meant
by the expression that all doubles
of low contracts should be regarded
as cooperative. Today's hand pro-
vides splendid illustration.
South opened quite properly with
one club because the hand was Just
a shade short of the accepted
standard for a no-trump opening,
which calls for minimum holding
of 16 points. West overcalled with
one spade, which was natural, and
North, of course, had little choice
but to make free bid of two clubs.
Note that in the absence Of an in
tervening bid North's proper re-
sponse would be a one-over-one
takeout in hearts. But a voluntary
raise denotes a good hand and
should 1t develop that hearts pro-
vide the best contract, 1t will be
because South has a four-card suit
which he himself can bid on the
second round.
1t was with reluctance that South
elected to pass his partners free
raise, unwilling to make a stab at
no-trump with such f1insy protec-
ton In spades. West persisted with
two spades, more or less pointless
bid, since partner had not chosen
to act. North quite properly passed.
He had already told his story and
did not fall into the common error
OF giving another raise when his
partner still had chance to bid.
South's penalty double at this
point was very logical bid, and,
though on the surface it may appear
daring without a sure trump trick,
actually it involves a minimum of
risk with an enlightened partner.
North must know that South has
not much of a hand, inasmuch as
he took no further action after the
first free bid. He must also know
that South's spades are not very
strong, inasmuch as he was un-
willing to bid two no-trump on the
previous round. North's defensive
values must, therefore, be sound in
order to leave the double in.
Otherwise, he should go on to three
clubs. North, holding sound de-
fensive values, passed and the con-
tract was defeated 500 points by the
simple expedient of cashing top
tricks.

}TiI Better Bomb Shelters Are Built Good Easements Are Still Best Bet

On the matter of shelter from an atomic blast, the FCDA has constantly emphasized the over all chances of escape from the bomb and the strengthening of existing structures in homes or commercial buildings in order to reduce the hazards of structural collapse. fires and other damage factors which increase in the case of any type Of shelter used the nearer it is to the center of the ex- plosion.
 It would be economically inn possible to build shelters for everybody which would provide absolute protection at ground zero of an atomic burst. This fact introduces the important factor ot calculated risk" In other words,
 no preparation can be made fol absolute protection everywhere. Some risks will have to be taken. Again. the amount of protection afforded against a particular a. tonic explosion will be contin- gent on the factors named above and other hazards such as fires, flying glass, debris, etc.
 Realistically, only reasonable protection should be planned for that is, the protection necessary at one-half mile from the ground zero of nominal atomic burst. Few buildings within the heavy damage area of a burst would provide adequate shelter with out alteration. In recent months the FCDA has been conducting engineering shelter surveys and tests of various kinds in order to determine, among other things, what alterations should be made in existing buildings to provide better protection. One finding IS that, in many cases, the best shel- ter may be found near the core of commercial buildings between the ground level and four stories from the top. This applies to
