Brooklyn: How did the amethyst
get its name?-E. r.
A. No gem has a more extraordi-
nary name, for the word AMETHYST
Is nothing but a shortened form
Of the Greek amethystos, which
means :. and I quote "a rem
edy for drunkenness" and /
Unquote. - =
The ancient Greeks believed that
the stone had q sobering effect on
one who had looked too long on
the wine when it was red. Maybe
its a little hard to believe, but ac-
tually, in accepting an amethyst
ring, pin or pendant, you're TAX
ing the "cure"-but it's true!

WISHES FOR A HAPPY
AND PROSPEROUS

Contract Bridge
By Eosley BIockwood


By Eosley BIockwood
A part of the Blackwood slam
convention is this: When the
agreed suit is clubs, you should
have two aces to bid four no-trump
and when the suit is diamonds. you
should have one ace before bidding
four no-trump.
South dealer. Neither side vul-
nerable.

There Is an exception to this rule
AN occasion when you can in
vestigate slam possibilities and use
the four-no-trump bid even though
your hand does not qualify under
the rule stated above.
Can't Do It Alone.
This Is when the makeup of your
hand is such that you are willing
TO play five no-trunp if your part
ner's response to your four no.
trump is disappointing.
OF course, you must have a way
to get to five no-trump and stay
there. You can't reach that con-
tract by bidding it yourself. That
Is because a five-no-trump bid fol-
lowing a four no-trump bid tells
partner that your side has all the
aces and ask him to show kings.
Bid Unbid Suit.
But sometimes you can demand
that partner bid five no-trump
You can do this when there is some
suit which has not been previously
bid by your side.
II you want to play at five no.
trump you simply fid five in that
unbid suit over your partners
response to the four-no-trump bid !
Today's hand is a case in point.
After Mr.. Masters jumped to four
clubs, Mr.. Champion thought itI
well worth while to investigate slam
possibilities.
He was willing to play six clubs
II Mr.. Masters had two aces and he
was willing to play five no-trumpl
II Mr.. Masters showed up with only
one ace.
Order to Partner.
When Mr.. Masters did make the
disappointing reply, Mr.. Champion
bid five spades, a previously unbid
suit. This bid ordered his partner
to do what he could not do him.
self-that is, to bid five no-trump
Using this handy bidding device
Mr.. Champion was able to test out
a slam and still end up in max
able contract after it was deter
mined that the enemy had two
aces.

Retail Trade Remains
Moderately Higher
Than a Year Before
By the A..ociuied Pres.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-Total
dollar volume of retail trade con-
tinued moderately higher during
the week ended Wednesday than
during the like week a year ago

shopping slump in most sections.
Dun & Bradstreet reported today.
Most retailers were busy with
exchanges which were about as
numerous as in recent years. the
business reporting firm said.
Apparel Interest Switches.
Shoppers bought less apparel
than in the preceding week and
shifted their interest from haber-
dashery and accessories to coats
and suits. The demand for mems
suits, particularly tweeds, and
overcoats rose noticeably in some
sections as merchants offered
them at sizable reductions, the
report said.

trimmed purchasing after the fes-
tive fare of the preceding week.
Most popular at meat counters
were hams, poultry and processed
meat products, Dun & Bradstreet
said.
Interest in consumer durable
goods as a whole was below the
high level Of a year ago in most
areas, but demand for living room
furniture, television sets and
housewares was about the same.

Shoppers continued to be quite
bargain-conscious," the report
continued. "The interest in large
appliances, floor coverings and
case goods remained scanty."

estimated to be from 2 to s per
cent above a year ago, with New
England and the Northwest un-
changed to 4 per cent higher, the
East up 2 to 6, Midwest up S to 9,

Cooks & Walters Union against a
number of leading restaurants in the
college city was finally settled Mon

were reinforced by Associated In

ginal producers, and the building of
government m
smelters would go far in assuring
more adequate supply of "copper""
