"How Rashes Do Itch! | y tf should take out freely with any five- card heart or spade suit, provided the hand contains at least one quick trick. Of course, with any greater strength, the -out is obligatory; for example, with six or more hearts or spades, all writers agree that a take-out is obliga- tory. If the original no trump bidder cannot help 'the major suit bid, he should either bid two no trump or show his own suit, if he has one; otherwise, he should pass and let his partner struggle along with the major suit bid. The object of all bididng, both at Auction and Contract, is to find a bid that will go game, and the best way to accomplish this purpose is to show a five-card major suit whenever possible. Experience has chown that a hand that From then on it is up to the original no trump bidder to use his judgment as to whether he should try for game at the major suit or go on with his no trump. An English writer who doesn't be- lieve in the American informatory double, says that one way to settle the question of a take-out of partner's no trump is to adopt the following con- vention: "When the take-out is from weakness, say: 'I bid two hearts' and, when from strength, say: 'I make it two hearts'." This is, of course, the English idea of humor and a more or less severe criticism of the informa- tory double. In England they don't entirely approve of the double, nor do they consider it a fair convention. Needless to say, we will continue to believe in the informatory double and not adopt the English suggestion as to the take-out. The following is a good illustration of the value of the take-out with a hand that most of the authorities will go game at no trump will nearly Auction Bidding: No score, first game, Z dealt and bid one no trump and A passed. If Y bids two hearts, Y Z wil score game but, if he passes, A will open hig spades and Y Z whl only score one or two odd at no trump. It is a good example of the value of a free take-out. Contract Bidding: Y should bid two hearts and, if B passes, Z should bid three hearts. Y's hand doesn't justify a rebid, so the hand will be played at three hearts. There are many such hands at Con- tract where a fortunate distribution of the cards enable the declarer to score a game that cannot be contracted for in the bidding.

A bas the choice of one of thrée bids: (1) an informatory double of one spade; (2) g bid of two diamonds; (3) a bid of one no trump. It zeems to the writer that an informatory double with this hand is bad practice. It is too strong a hand to play at a minor suit and snot strong enough to play at hearts. For the same reason, the two- diamond bid should not he made, It takes a great deal of strength in part- ner's hand to make game in diamonds but very little to make game possible The no trump bid seems the best bid with this hand for it offers the best chance for game at either Auction or Contract.

They were our frieffds; Our thought, our breath, ous blood we gave To make them so: They hought ug peace, and in the grave Is all the peace they know, To make amends, Leaders and lords, Who in your pride decree that thus Or thus shall scores be paid, An age is building when with us your reckoning shall be made, Who have no swords.

Husbands Don't Matter If a married woman eats onions you can be pretty sure she's still in love with her husband. Nothing dries quicker than the tears of a hypocrite. A scientist says: "Kissing is the re- sult of two sets of emotional cellular vibrations which attract each other and become harmoniously merged in- to a rich chord of contact." A good many people have enjoyed kissing without knowing what it was all about. Jim--""Smothers takes off his hat to nobody." Sam--"How does he get his hair cut?"
