Author of *PRACTICAL AUCTION BRiDOe"
ARTICLE No.
Many times in this series of articles
the writer has warned players against
over -bidding where the situation did
not justify it, In other words, don't
overbid unless the possible gain is
fairly equal to the possible loss. The
usual way for the thoughtless player
to make this mistake is to bid a minor
suit, clubs or diamonds, when the bid -
[ling indicates that he has no chance
for game. Why take a chance of only
making three or four odd in clubs or
diamonds when, if you are doubled,
you may lose a big penalty?
A score less than game is only of
value about once in.fifteen deals; so it
is a good rule never to bid to make a
score less than game if there is any
risk attached. There is practically
nothing to gain by the bid and so much
to lose. One very good player at one
of the local clubs seems to have a
weakness for this kind of bidding. The
other night, for example, he held the
following hand, A's in the diagram:
Hearts 10
Clubs—K, 9, 8, 6, 5, 2 . se 1
Diamonds—A, 8, 4 : A B :
Spades—K, 10, 3 Z
No score, rubber game, at Auction.
21 dealt and bid one no trump, A
passed, Y bid two hearts and B and Z
passed. At this point .A. thoughtlessly
decided to bid three clubs. The bid-
ding should have indicated that he had
no possible chance for game. Z's no
tramp bid, Y's two -heart bid and B's
pass were all indicators that Y Z held
Me best combined hands. For that

chance for game and a fair chance to
save game. Beware of such bids, and
of any bids where the possible risk is
- et offset by an equal chance for game.
At Contract, of course, A, with the
foregoing hand, also should pass.
Example Hand No. 1
Hearts—A, J, 10, 6
Y Clubs—K, 10, 9, 8, 5

Z Spades—In
No score, first game. Z dealt and bid
one diamond, A one spade and Y
Passed. What should B bid with the
foregoing hand?
AnICTION BIDDING:
B should bid one no trump. The
singleton spade is a danger spot and
he should warn his partner at once
that his hand is weak in spades. The
no trump bid is justifiable as he has a
fair all around hand and a sure stop-
per in the diamond suit. With two or
less trumps of your partner's suit, al-
ways warn him of the fact, if possible.
CONTRACT BIDDING:
B should bid two ciubs and then, if
overbid by partner or opponents, should
bid the hea suit.

A, however, thought of none of these

already large number of telephone
users, although unsatisfactory busi-
ness conditions did affect the telephone
industry. This increase was the
smallest annual growth in a period of
15 years. Nevertheless, there was a
decided advance recorded. The East-
ern Provinces all showed increases,
and though there were declines in the
Prairie Provinces, the number of in-
struments in use rose during the year
by 20,039. The number of telephones
in use at the end of the year was
1,402,861.
The average number of telephones
per thousand of population was in
1930 the largest of any country in the
world except the United States. '.:he
average in Canada was 141.1 per thou-
sand, while in the United States it
was 164. The total number of tele-
phones was exceeded only by the Un-
ited States, Germany, and Gt. Britain
and, Northern Ireland. The number
of telephones in. the United States was
20,068,023, in Germaay,3,182,305, and
in Britain and Northern Ireland 1,-
886,726, the figures all being for 1929.
The only other countries approaching
Canada's density were New Zealand
with 103 and Denmark with 96 per
thousand.
In estimated number of telephone
calls per capita Canada led the world.
Completed calls or conversations in
the Dominion in 1930, according to an
estimate by the offi.,'al statisticians,
averaged 250.5 per capita and 1,872
per telephone. The United States with
231 conversations per capita, and New
Zealand with 212,. were the only other
countries with averages of over 150 in
129. The estimated number of complet-
ed calls in Canada during 1930 was
2,626,752,502, ineluding 87,496,867
long distance calls. The long distance
calls were actual counts and the local
calls were estimates based on counts
made periodically by systems operat-
ing almost 90 per cent. of all tele-
phones in Canada.

EXCESS FAT IS A
DANGER TO HEALTH
Insurance companies are apt to
reject applications of overweight men
and women—they can't afford to
take any risks.
- Good health cannot long. be main-
tained where there's excessive weight.
Fat is apt to shorten life, and con-
stipation, impaired mental activity,
loss of energy and strength are but
a few of many complaints -which
sometimes arise in overweight men
and women.
Why ziot lose this superfluous fat—
regain glorious health and good looks
again—simply take a half teaspoonful
of Kruschen Salts in a glass of hot
water every morning before breakfast.
Kruschen is the safe and healthy way
to reduce, based on scientific principle.
The slenderizing action of Kruschen
can be speeded by cutting out fatty
meats, pastries, and going light on
butter, cream and potatoes.
Kruschen helps blood, nerves, glands
and body organs to function properly
again—you gain amazing new strength
and energy—feel years younger look
better, work better. Why postpone
attractiveness and superb health?—

Nerves Kept Her Awake
. Mrs. Scheer Says She Sleeps Like Log
Since Taking Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills.
"I can truthfully
recommend Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills for
all those suffering
from a rundown
state of nerves,"
writes Mrs. Scheer,
of Prince Albert, Sask. "My nerves were
in such a rundown condition that I could
not sleep at night. Many nights 1 could
not lie in bed at all, and would get up
and walk the floor. A friend told me
her mother was in the same condition
and had found relief by taking Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills. I have taken four
boxes, and can now sleep like a log, and
1 feel so refreshed In the morning. I do
my owvn housework and ama dressmaker
besides."
The reason why Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills are so effective in such cases is that
they create new rich blood, which sup-
plies to the nerves the very elements they
heed. Equally effective for all rundown
or anaemic conditions. Try them. At

A clerk in a country store in a little
town in East Texas sold a lease on hie
90 acres for $10,000. One of hie
friends asked him what he was going
to do, now that he was rich, and he re-
plied, "Well, I put the check in the

It until it clears. If I get the money,
I'm going to quit work and try and get

Plan Glassless Buildings
New York.—The buildings at the
Chicago World Fair of 1933, which
will cover three and a half miles of
waterfront on the shores of Latae
Michigan and several artificial islands,
will be virtually without windows, ac-
cording to Harvey Wiley Corbett,
chairman of the architecture commis-
sion appointed for the fair. Exhibits,
Mr. Corbett explained, are displayed
better with artificial light than by
daylight.
"Artificial light," Mr. Corbett said,
"will become a most important factor
in design, not only of the interior of
the buildings, but on the exterior as
well. It will be possible even in the
daytime to change the color of the
buildings by the playing of light sym-
phonies upon their surfaces."
