There are certain hands on which the best of players will always differ, and it is a lucky thing for Auction and Contract that this is so. R is this very variety of opinion that makes the games interesting. No doubt it is a fine thing to agree about some things, but life woud soon lose its savor if we all were of the same opinion about everything. Arguments are stimulate indk h g an cei t p e n el•est alive, This Is particularly true of Auction and Con- tract, and the very fact that some hands cause endless discussion and a wide variety of opinion shows why the games are so fascinating. The fol- lowing hand is a good example. It was recently subniitted to the writer as a hand on which no good players seemed to agree as to the proper bid. What do you think? Hand No. I A z Hearts -A Clubs -9, 7, 6, 5, 3, 2 Diamonds -A, 8, 7, 2 Spades -A, 2 No score, rubber game. What should Z, as dealer, bid with the foregoing i'aand at either Auction or Contract? The 'writer will give his opinion in the next article. There is one type of hand on which the well-known writers and players of the game still disagree. When partner had bid one no trump and second hand kas passed, what type of hand justifies a take-out at either Auction or Con- tract? If you want to get into an ar- gument, just start a discussion of this subject, and you will probably find as many opinions as there are players. It is the same thing with the writers en Auction and Contract. They all disagree and the result is a wide di- versity of opinion. The following bands illustrate the principles of the take-out, both at Auction and Contract, and. the writer will give his opinions in the next article. In the meantime think it over and discuss your opinion with your friends. Hand No, 2 Hearts ---J, 10, 8, i, 2 Clubs -J, 7, 3 Diamonds -9, 6 Spades --K, 6, 5 A Y B No score, first game. Z dealt, bid cue no trump and a. passed. What should Y now hid with the foregoing hand at either Auction or Contract? Hand No. 3 Hearts -8, 2 Clubs -3, 9, 8, 2 Diamonds -1O, 2 Spades -A, 7, 6, 5, 2 A Y B z No score, rubber game. Z dealt, bid one no trump and A passed. What should Y now bid. with the foregoing hand at either Auction or Contract? The following hand has recently been brought to the writer's attention and the proper play is so interesting and instructive that' it is given as a problem: Hand No, 4 Hearts -A, R, Q, 4 Clubs -J, 10, 9, 4, 3, 2 Diamonds -7 4 Y : A B : z llearts--10, 9, 5, 2 Clubs -A, K, Q, i Diamonds -0, 6, 3 Spades -Q, 6 No score rubber game. Clubs are trumps and Z is playing the hand. A opens the king of diamonds and all follow suit. He then leads the trey of spades. How should Z play the hand so that he can make game no matter how the remaining cards are distri- buted? Solution in nest article. The Daily News .

It contains about one page of advertise- ments. It begins with foreign politica, and the world revolution is constantly featured. Here is a three -column headline: "Today the Geneva Gas- bags Go into Conference. Geneva Lackeys Prepare to Serve Japan but Express Every Sympathy for China." The dispatch itself consists of a telegram from Paris. Then follow brief, more or less factual reports on the Russo -German economic negotiations, the end of the Indian Round -Table Conference, the crisis in Morocco, secret Fascist organiza- tions in Stockholm. The news columns are broken by an. almost un- recognizable picture of the unem- ployed in New York. The Russians emliha,sdze with in- credible cleverness and incredible success the efforts of separate units and of the whole economic system to put through the Five -Year PIan. An article with'two pictures on the first page bears a. three -column head- line: "'irbe Iron Baker. Bread Fac- tory No. 5 a Brilliant Achievement of the Soviet Union. Engineer Mar- eakov Is the Organizer of the Triumph" The dispatch is written in a good, sharp style. It relates that German and English manufact- urers of machinery had asserted that their methods were the most high- ly rationalized, but Russia has com- pletely outstripped them by building a bread factory without foreign aid. Not one foreign nail was need. The factory is ready. Nine persons in eight working hours can make 10,- 000 loaves of bread entirely by ma- chinery. The second page contains descrip- tions of daily Soviet affairs. Every other word. Is relentless self-criticism.

A "flying patrol brigade" discovers each day 1 dozens of "crimninal failures to pr'o- A New Central Archive Will Be Built in Moscow, Costing Two and a Half li'illiou Rubles," So reads one 'headline. And here is a typical news item, The housing assoeia- tion of the Krassnia-Pressiiia quar- ter complains bitterly that its mem- bers keep talking about progress yet never accomplish anything, Work' ers' Community House No, ' 7 has only one light, a single petroleum lamp. In Leontievski Street e. eon,. munity house where 22 people live has only one teakettle. The amen in charge of these houses are to blame and must take the responsi- bility. Some concrete instances of the daily misfortune of standing in line for necessities are given, At Shop No. 10-35 of the Moskva River Co- operative Society people had to stand for hours in the early morning wait- ing for_ vegetable oil and venison, Why? The goods had been deliver- ed the previous evening, but there was no pump for the oil and not enough room on the counter for the deer. "Why should w e hurry?" the store manager asked the reporter who was investigating the incident. "We always get rid of all our goods." At Shop No. 232 long lines stand waiting every day. The cashier is industrious but the cash register does not work. A brilliantly written article des- cribes how a member ' of the new. generation was walking along a street lit by bright arc lights. He was gazing in wonder on a new theatre when he saw the 16th century emerge from a basement window in the form of a rat. There are 2,500,000 rats in Moscow today, almost as many as there are' human beings, according to scientific estimates. It is true that Moscow does not hold the re- cord for rats; it has less than Paris, London, anal Hamburg; but it has plenty just the same. People have begun to fight bedbugs, though with resolutions more than with. chemical formulae. The articles goes on to ask: "Why don't we talk more about the rats, about these relics of yes- terday that we inherited from Tsarism and tibat still make their way into the life ot today along with the most modern bread. factories, community houses, and educational parks?" Another headline reads: "The Par- cel Did Not Arrive." Here are num- erous instances of packages arriving late or not at all. It took 19 days for one package to get from Smol- ensk to Moscow, and in 1931 alone 110 packages were lost in the Moscow Central Post Office. The advertising columns begin with the announcements of theatres, concerts, and circuses. Then there is half a column of offers to buy or sell Naturally, more people. want to buy. There are demands for side- boards, typewriters, pianos, chairs cameras, and Phonographs. The ob- jects for sale include men's coats, telescopes, writs watches, bear rugs, and an old hotel. A Leningrad t•o- operative advertises for an unlimited quantity of turnips and cabbage, and the state meat trust wants to buy two motorcycles. Then come the most urgent de -t minds of all, the demands for dwell- ing places. "The occupant ot a room in Leningrad containing 183 square feet is looking for a room in Moscow," "Will exchange a corridor room for two rooms, paying all costs." "Wanted, a room.. Will pay 100 rubies a month." "Will exchange room containing 43 square feet for larger room, paying all costs.' "We need rooms and houses for foreign specialists," announces a trust. "Will exchange five -room country house for one room in Moscow." "Will rent corner of room to student who will educate a boy." There is also a Iabor-exchange column whose few items confirm tbe fact that no real unemployment exists in Russia. "Looking for work' as a dog trainer." "Old cook seeks em- ployment in state institution or hos- pital." "English, German, and French, seven rubles a month." There are jobs offered to stenographers with their own typewriters and jobs in the Caucasus for engineers, me- chanics, and so forth. Such are the contents of a typi- cal number of a popular Moscow newspaper.

They swept the dust Into heaps, shoveled it into barrows, and wheeled it away to an old dam, where they tipped it into a "cradle" and shook it till golden specks ap- peared. Far from appreciating the fact 1 that the road was being swept bean- tituily clean, however, the borough authorities sent along a policeman, who seized the brooms, the barrows, and "cradle" and the gold dust on the ground that the sweeping was removing the surface of the road, in- volving civic expense for repots, So now Caldwell's Road will get dusty again, and whet remains of its golden, treasure will be lett undis- turbed. --•-•ai An elderly couple were charged with creating a breach of the peace in their. own hone.
