CONTRACT
4Wynne Ferguson
Author of "PRACTICAL AUCTION BRIDGE"
ARTICLE No. 11
One of the writer's correspondents
has asked for an opinion on the fol-
lowing question which as he says, "is
not sufficiently or explicitly covered in
any recent book we have been able to
obtain, to definitely settle the matter."
ft is of such nature that an, discussion
regarding it is bound to be of interest
to all Auction and Contract players:
"Tinder what conditions should the
initial bidder, if he has one suit miss-
ing entirely or represented by only a
singleton, declare no trump? Do the
ordinary no trump indications hold in
such cases?
A sound no trump bid is composed
of two elements: (1) the proper values
for the no trump bid; (2) the proper
distribution of such values among the
four suits. The authorities practically
all agree that the minimum strength
on which the dealer should bid one no
trump is two and one-half quick tricks,
distributed among at least three suits.
The quick trick strength must not only
be there, but it must be so divided
among the four suits that there is
more than a reasonable chance to
make the contract. A hand might very
easily contain two and one-half quick
tricks and still not justify a no trump
bid. If these quick tricks are confined
to one suit, the suit bid is the correct
bid. If these quick tricks are dis-
tributed among two suits only, it is not
advisable to bid no trump. Experience
has shown that with two suits unpro-
tected, a no trump bid seldom is sound.
For that reason, to justify a bid of one
no trump, the hand must contain at
least two and one-half quick tricks and
these should be distributed among at
least three suits. That leaves only one
suit for partner to protect or, if he also
has no protection, only one suit for
opponent to make.
In case the dealer has a singleton of
a suit or none at all, experience has
shown that the no trump bid as a rule
is a losing bid. For that reason with
this type of hand, it is better to bid a
suit even though haled contains two
and one-half quick tricks divided
among three suits. If the opponents
bid the missing suit, then, of course,
Hearts -K, Q, J, 10, 9
Clubs -K, J, 9
Diamonds -none
Spades -9 -
the dealer should not subsequently bid
no trump, but if his partner should
bid the missing suit, then the dealer
should bid the no trump on the second
round of bidding. A singleton or a
, void suit is a danger point for a no
trump and the best procedure is to bid
a suit first, and shift to a no trump bid
I later only if the bidding at that time
makes such a course necessary or ex-
pedient.
The following hands represent sound
no trump bids by the dealer:
Hearts --Q, 8 ,2
Clubs -K, J, 4
Diamonds -A, Q, 6
Spades -K, 6, 4, 3
Hearts -Q, J, 4

Spades -K, J, 7
•
Hearts -J, 7, 6, 2
Clubs -K, J, 4
Diamonds -K, 10, 9, 2
Spades -A, J
All of them contain at least two and
ono -half quick tricks and the distribu-
tion is of such a nature that there is a
reasonable chance to make the bid.
The following hands, however, are
not justifiable no trump bids, even
though they contain the necessary
quick -trick strength. The distribution
is of such a nature that the suit set in
black type should be bid, rather than
the no trump,
Hearts -J, 7, 4, 2
Clubs -none

. If the opponents hold
suit, they will bid it against a suit bid
but sit tight and lead it against a no
trump bid. Prefer a suit to the no
trump bid, when the hand contains a
singleton or void suit, and you will
win many a game and rubber not
otherwise possible.

You used to hear of a sweet old-

and she was over fourteen, she was
blind. It's not a bad idea to have a
good laugh at yourself about once a
week. It breaks the monotony of
laughing at other foolish folk. A man
may admire an intelligent woman but
the girl he loves is the one who hangs
on his coat lapels and begs him to tell
her "all about" something she already
knows more about than he does.

now lead the deuce of clubs and Y
should win any card played by A. At
trick three, Y should lead the ace of
hearts and follow with the five, which
Z should trump with the eight of
spades. Z should then lead the trey
of clubs and once again Y should win
any card played by A. Y should then
lead his last club and follow with the

this trick and must, therefore, lead a
diamond, which Z wins with the jack,

If spades are trumps and Z is in the

sive than ever. The minimum height
of recruits has just been raised from
five feet nine inches to five -test -ten.
At the same time, the age limit has
been changed -it is now twenty to
twenty-five.
According to one police official, the
reason for the increase in height is
that a policeman of only five -feet -nine
looks "boyish and undersized" with
his helmet on.
The City of London Police Force al-
so believes in height -the minimum in
this case being six feet. But we have
never sought after height for its own
sake; it is only one qualification
among many- There has never been

of tall men being imported from other

1500 -yr. -old Gold Treasure
Unearthed on Cornwall Farm
London. -Two bracelets and two
necklets of pure gold, reputed to be
at least 1,500 years old, have been
unearthed on a farm at Towednack,
near St. Ives, Cornwall.
According to Mr. r. D. Kendrick,
assistant keeper of British and me-
dieval antiquities in the British Mu-
seum, finds of gold ornaments dating
to the Middle Bronze Age have' been
made practically all over Britain, but
particularly in CornwalL
"These ornaments are made from
Irish gold," says Mr. Kendrick, "and
the bracelets and necklets were prob-
ably worked in Ireland and then im-
ported to Cornwall -perhaps in ex-
change for tin. Such finds are trea-
sure trove and become the property of
the Crown, but the finders will receive
practically the full value of the gold
after it has been examined by ex-
perts."
