However, it is a fact that
whether you count honor tricks
or use some point-count method,
you end up at the same spot on
the great majority of hands.
Some of the methods referred
to are rather intricate and de-
tailed. For those looking for
simplification, you will do all
right if you remember four
magic figures. These are IS,
rs, IS and go.
Sixty-five per cent Of the high
cards in the partnership will
furnish a reasonable play for
game at no-trump or in a major
suit.
Seventy-five per cent will give
you a fair play for game in a
minor suit.
Eighty-five per cent puts you
In the small-slam zone.
With over 80 per cent you
will have an odds-on chance for
a grand slam.
These figures hold when your
side has no particular distribu-
tional advantages. With dis
tributional assets in the form of
long, solid suits, singletons,
voids, exceptionally well-f1tting
partnership hands, ETC., you
need a little less in high cards.
Apply your favorite method
of valuation to the North-South
cards in today's hand. Mrs.
Keen and Mr.. Masters have
about IS per cent of the high
cards. Failing to find a good
enough fit in a suit, they prop
erly reached game at no-trump.
Mr.. Meek led the trey of
spades and Miss Brash took the
ace and returned the ten. When
Mr.. Masters ducked, Mr.. Meek
overlook with the jack and led
Ais last spade which Mr..
Masters won with the king. The
ace of diamonds was cashed and
Mr.. Meek's play of the queen
was noted.
Mr.. Masters now cashed
dummy's ace and king OF clubs.
Miss Brash discarding a small
heart on the second lead of the
suit. Mr.. Masters now had
good count. He cashed three
more diamonds, taking the
marked finesse of the nine.
With four cards left, Miss
Brash had to have two spades
and two hearts. Mr.. Masters
put her in with his last spade
and after winning two spades,
she had to lead into dummy's
ace-queen of hearts.

TAX SUPERVISOR
RESIGNS OFFICE
IN DARE COUNTY
Resignation rendered Board
This Week by Willis
Daniels

For the second time, Willis Dan
iels of Dare County has resigned
as tax supervisor, this week ten
dering to the Commissioners his
resignation, with regret, due to Ill
health, effective in July. Mr.. Dam
iels was appointed two years ago
on recommendation of Register of
Deeds Melvin Daniels. At that
time, R. o. Balance was candi-
date also.
Some four years ago, Mr.. DaE-
iels resigned as supervisor after
a stormy session in the courthouse
packed with people protesting
against the valuations of proper
ty The storm of protest this yeal
is about as great, although il has
not broken out into mass meet
ing as yet. 1t is now apparent that
there is more complaint generally
about the lack Of system in valu-
ing property, than ever before. Tee
people of Dare County have been
storming the courthouse, and in
many instances getting large re-
auctions in valuations from the fig
ures that had been set up. An OBJ
servation of the books shows tina;
in many instances instead Of the
Sc per cent yardstick that has beer
set up, some property is lisreJ
four times it's value, and other;
one tenth it's value. In some cases
property is arbitrarily classified as
ocean front, when it actually /;
not on the ocean.
The sentiment Of the peopir
st ems to be that when another ta>
supervisor is employed, lot ol
screening should be done. The reo
pie do not want local politica
hacks to play havoc with the ta2
books, nor do they want to make
this important office the means
of supporting the relative o
friend or tool of some politician
or office holder. 1t is the most i'm
portant office in the county by rea
son of the damage it can do, s
long as it is given free rein.

One was in the states case
against Pat Bayne, Mays Head
restaurant operator, charged with
felonious assault with a deadly
weapon with intent to kill. Fail
ure of the jury to agree, after

sion, it is generally understood
that the dozen men and women
who heard the case were dead
locked 10 to 2. The case involves
the shooting of Frank Drake, IS
of Portsmouth, Va.
In the case of Llody Meekins
Negro charged with felonious
assault with a deadly weapon
with intent to kill, in connection
with the shooting of Jerry Bel
McClease, the jury also wa;
hung, 10 to 2.
In case against Jerry Bel

same affray, he was found guilty
of simple assault and fined $1t
