He “needed it in putting up his window- shades.” and “would return it shortly.” Next he borrowed a tack-hammer, to use in putting down his carpets. Then he wanted a hatchet, a screw- driver and a gimlet, all of which things Mr. Smith, being an accommodating man, allowed him to take. Several days passed and none of the borrowed articles had been returned. “I'll cure him.” said Mr. Smith. About a week later the new neighâ€" bor came back with the screw driver, and apologized for having kept it so long.~ “That’s all right," said Mr. Smith, with a genial smile. “But you had better keép it now. I have bought a People who are continually borrow- ing household utensils and neglect to return them are annoying neighbors.

You keep them. They’ll come handy about the house.” Again he hurried away, and was With a muttered apology the new Agreatdealhasbeensaidandwrit- ten about the importance of knowing the rules and conventions of Bridge. Such knowledge undoubtedly is of prime importance. A proper under- standing between partners of the con- ventions of bidding and play makes better Bridge and more pleasant re- lations with one’s partners, but every player should realize that there are exceptions to all rules. A recent book onuAuction expresses the point very we : “One aspiring to become an expert player must remember this important axiomâ€"There is no ever nor never in Auction Bridge. best how to play the game. But one thing must never be overlooked. The player must somewhere, somehow, have learned the application of the rule he is breaking, before he attempts to‘break it: 1).... “That is, no rule is too good to be broken when the proper occasion arises. The player who knows best when and how to dispense with a mileL knows “When the author uses the word ‘never’, please read ‘hardly ever.’ Do not hesitate to break any rule herein set_ forth if you see a good reason fqr domg so â€" but be sure your reason as better than the rule.” One of the conventions of bidding that usually should be followed is to bid the major suit, if you have one, in preference to a no trump, but the following hand shows a justifiable de- parture from this rule or convention: Heartsâ€" K, 10, 6 Clubs â€" 10, 3, 2 piarponds: 9}, §, 5, 2 Diamonds â€"A, 54], Spadesâ€"A ,J,5 No score, rubber game. If Z dealt, should he bid one heart or one no trqmp? _ In'this case, the four aces make the no trump bid justifiable, especially as the heart bid contains only one honor. But don’t let 100 aces influence you to bid an unsound no trump rather than a sound major suit, when the suit is such a strong one that game is a certainty. On the other hand, don’t bid a weak major suit in preference to a sound no trump, especially when the hand con- tains 100 aces. All pass the no trump bid_ and _A opens the four _of .clubs. _ The play of this hand 15 instructive also, so pshould be carefully noted. The fact that A leads the four of clubs, the fourth best of his long suit, and that the deuce and trey of clubs are in the dummy hand, show that A has only four clubs. Therefore Z should “in the first club trick with the ace and set his heart suit. He can afford to lose one heart and three club tricks. He will still score game if the spade finesse 15 successful. BROKE HIM OF BORROWING Played in this way, Y Z will make one club, four heart, three spade and one diamond tricks or three odd, game and rubber. Learn to count your tricks and plan the play of the hand before you play to the first trick. It will win yoy__many: a game and rubber. ' There is another case where con- ventions should be discarded. That a “two-suiter" always should be played at a suit is one of the recognized con- ventions of the game; but sometimes there is a better bid, and the following hand is a good illustration: Hearts â€" J, 6 Clubs â€" J, 9 Diamonds â€" Q, J, 10, 8, 5 Spades â€"â€" K, 10, 6, 4 (3th 1928. by Hoyle. Jr. W J‘“ H Bfiltfilgfi Spades â€" Heartsâ€"AA 9, 8, 7,5 Cl_ubsâ€"- A,5 THE DURHAM CHRONICLE Author of 'PRACTICAL AUCTION ARTICLE No. 3 No score, rubber game. 2 deals and is obliged to choose between a club and a heart bid. The general rule or convention is that with a choice between a major and minor suit, bid the major, but this rule holds true only when both suits are of equal length. If the minor suit ha pens to be the longer, it should be bi first and the major suit on the second round. Such bidding should indicate to partner that the minor suit is longer or stronger and not to Support the major in preference, unless he has much better holding in the major suit than in the minor. Z’s proper opening bid, theretorc, with the above hand is one club. A bids one spade and Y, with a double stopper in the spade suit, should bid one no tgqmp. B _passes._ Z should now bid two hearts to show his partner his other suit and to indi- cate a two-suit holding. A passes and Y is up against the rule that a “two- suiter" always should be played at a suit. His hand, however, is not strong in either of his partner’s suits and yet is very strong in spades and diamonds. For that reason he should figure that he has a better chance for game in no trump than at clubs or hearts. Y therefore should bid._t_wo no trump. _ At no trump Y Z will score three odd, game and rubber. At clubs, four odd is possible and at hearts, three odd. Thus it is apparent that Y’s departure from the rule proves a winning venture. Stick by your conventions but also learn when to break' them. When you do, however, always have a reason, and a good one, for doing so. Clubs â€" 7, 6, 2 ' Diamonds â€" A, Q, J Spades â€"â€" K, 10, 7 No score, rubber game. Z dealt, bid one no trump and all passed. A opened the five of spades, Y played the four, B the nine and Z won the trick with the ten of spades. How should Z plan the play of the hand? Solution: 2 should take four rounds of diamonds, winning the third dia- mond trick in Y’s hand with the king so that he can play the last diamond and thus force discards. The important suit to find out about is the heart suit, for if Z takes the wrong finesse, he not only will lose game but also may not even make his bid. A and B now have two set-up suits, clubs and spades, so Z cannot permit either A or B to get the lead. On the ten of diamonds, B discards a spade and A a heart so Z decides that B must have the queen of hearts. If he also has the ten, 2 cannot go game but, if A has the ten, then Z can go game as he can catch B’s queen._ As a matter of fact, A held the ten and B the queen, so Z's fine play en- abled him to make game on a hand that most players would lose because they would finesse the heart toward they ace jack rather than first coax discards and thus loate the queen. Be on the lookout for such opportunifio' . “Indulging any appetite or passion Fto excess; immoderate in enjoyment Eor exertion; ungovernable, immoderate, inordinate, as intemperate language, zeal, etc. , So it becomes evident that one may be intemperate in many different ways. There are intemperate eaters, intem- perate smokers, intemperate sleepers. intemperate workers, intemperate idlers intemperate spenders, intemperate ~ta1kers, intemperate thinkers, intem~ perate reformers, and many there “may be intemperate in anything. Public attention has been so long centred on the intemperate use of al- coholic beverages that the word “in- temperate” has lost its broad meaning among a great part of the populace If one were to ask the average person the meaning of the word, the definition most frequently given would be “to drink to excess,” or something to the same effect Compare this papular understanding of the word with its definitions as found in Webster’s dictionary: generation persistently forgets. ual intemperance unloosw th of hate, bigotry, oppression, In an essay on “The Evils of Intemâ€" perance” appears the statement: “The history of mankind has shown that intemperance is the greatest evil which has afflicted the human race. Yet this is the lesson that mankind from “Why, bless me,” he said, “you need not bring that ladder back! I have a new one, so I shall not need it.” The new neighbor kept the things but he never borrowed anything more from Mr. Smith.

F given authority by parliament, the Bell Tele- phone Company will issue new shares of stock over a period of years, at intervals and in amounts depending on the expansion required to serve public demand. The new shares will be offered for purchase by shareholders and the price will depend on the man- agement’s judgment of conditions. This method is the exact procedure by which the company has built the present telephone system in Ontario and Quebec. In forty-eight years the telephone company has nei- ther suggested nor received a government subsidy. In forty-eight years it has never split its stock, nor issued shares that were not fully paid for at par or more. In forty-eight years it has never be'en exploited for the benefit of either individuals or groups, although it is now one of the largest institutions in the country. N choosing and following this financial policy the management of the company has had con- stantly in mind the double obligation of those who operate a public utility. There is, first, the obligation to the users of the telephone system to give them proper service at low- est possible cost. And, secondly, there is the obliga- tion to the owners to protect their property and pay them a fair return on the money they advance to build the system. These two obligations have been scrupulously ful- filled. Service has been given by steadily extending the system from a few hundred telephones in 1880 to over 700,000 now in use. The company is spending over $27,000,000 this year to extend and improve the system further and has made plans to spend over $120,000,000 in the next five years. HE management does not favor any change in its policy, because: 1. the record of the company’s policy in efficiently fulfilling the obligations to both users and own- ers justifies its continuance. 2. if. however, the financial policy of public utility companies is to be fixed by parliament it should be made applicable to all such companies rather than to single out one company which does not deserve special restrictions. and this service has been given at low cost. The rates paid by telephone subscribers in Ontario and Quebec are the lowest in the world for comparable service. The Board of Railway Commissioners has officially acknowledged that they are more reason- able than other rates in Canada. The 15,3CO owners of the system receive a fair re- turn, but not more than a fair return. The com- puny’s policy has handed out no “melons” nor extra dividends. A test of this is the actual experience of a share- holder who bought Bell Telephone stock on the mar- ket fifteen years ago at $145 and has since taken ad antage of exery Opportunity to buy new shares as they have been offered. His annuai return today, on the money he has paid for his shares, is less than seven per cent. To be exact it is 6.9 per cent. 3. a change in policy is not in the national interest; it means that Canadian investors will be attracted to put their money into numerous American utility companies with which the telephone company is now competing for new capital and where it is the recognized practice to offer new shares to stockholders. The present policy of the company safeguards fu- ture expansion of the telephone system by retaining support of reli- able investors. and promotes the national interest of Canadians in Canadian development. 2 Bell Telephone Company and its financial policy has met double obligation in the national interest But thank the Lord I’ve sense to see The rest of men with charity; They’re good enough if good as meâ€" Say, men like you.
