When you reach the point ut
which you're plunking down

That's enoughl" Some built-in

Probably few Of you consci-
ously set . specific percentage

II you do, It's unlikely it's at
such an odd figure as Is per
cent. But this seems to be o
national pattern.
For almost four years. con-
sumers have been repaying in
stalment credit obligations at
an annual rate Of about Is per
cent Of disposable personal in

| No OhIlciaI Controls
There have been and are no
ofncial controls on instalment
buying. There has been no
great cease and desist" CAM
paign from the Government on
instalment buying practices:
the head shaking that has oc-
CURED has been over public ig-
norance about the cost Of in
stalment buying. not about the
total of the buying. There has
been no particular effort
among lenders to hold down
the totals either. In fact, in
early 1860 lenders generally
anticipated that the upsurge in
instalment buying this year
would equal or even top the
$5.4 billion rise in 1859.
Yet. in the face Of no con-
trolls. no special warnings or
anti7instalment buying cam
paigns. the showdown In the
pace Of the rise in on-the-cuff

throughout the year.
/ In August, the latest month
reported, the rise in instalment

In 1916, we were putting only
about 4.3 cents Of very spend

What does this imply about

To me the most fascinating
aspect is the suggestion Of a

If you prefer that word. 1t is
true that the old-fashioned
traditional budget has virtually
disappeared, and in many fam
lilies the budget discipline now
is the monthly payment book
It is true that many families
actually have never been out

Nevertheless, the fact that
this 13 per cent repayment
figure has held for so long
does indicate that at this point

self. And 1t is the consumer
who does the curbing-not the
retailer or lender.
A second significant aspect
is that barring another great
loosening in credit terms
which can be barred for the
simple reason that terms cant
get much looser-the next bis
rise in debt will coincide with
the next major increases ir

The total Of personal in

OF course, instalment buy

Slam Double

When competent opponents
voluntarily bid a slam they will
usually make it. Sometimes they

double a slam solely for the
purpose Of increasing the pen

Opening lead: Diamond five.
A hand of this nature came |
along almost 80 years ago and
caused Theodore Lightner to
put on his thinking cap. Light
ner decided against using a |
double to pick up an additional
so or 100 points in the rare
cases when he felt sure Of beat
ing the slam.
Instead, Lightner argued, the
double should be used to take
a stab at beating q slam that
would otherwise be made. This
kind Of double would pick up
a thousand or fifteen hundred
points II it worked.
Lightner's Rule
After some further thought.
Lightner worked out a rule:
Double a slam to ask for an
Unusual opening lead.
II you think the normal
Opening lead will beat the slam,
don't double. You are satisfied
to make any plus score at all
when the opponents have
enough strength to think seri-
ously of a SIAM
Double only if you think your
main chance to beat the slam
Is to get an unusual lead. Some
experts use the double to call
specifically for the first suit
bid by dummy. Others are not
so specific about the suit-but
they do veto the normal lead.
In the hand shown, Vests
normal opening lead would be
his singleton club. A singleton
in partners suit is an ideal lead
against a slam under ordinary
circumstances. When East dou-
bles. however, he vetoes the
club lead. West must look for
something else.
The diamond lead is not hard
to find, in view of Vests length
in the suit. East ruffs and
cashes the ace of clubs to de-
feat the slam.
Daily Question
Partner bids one diamond,
and the next player passes.
You hold:
A82 010532 O. @AQJ8432I
What do you do?
Answer: Bid two clubs. It is
unusual to respond at the level
of two with only seven points
in high cards. but you should
not bid one no-trump with such
unbalanced distribution. You
expect to bid three clubs at
lyour next turn to show a good
suit but nothing much else.
