J. 1, VJT "Bugs' Bae, the welMmown bomo i fct, has some amusing ideas of thegarwe I2l Auction Bridge, of which h follow-ff-jare some of theemy. "The present game of Dridga is de lved irora the ancient renw ciGarrump. Itisplayed by four people, two on a side, and eight kibbltzers, who re roving umpires. The most important fart cf Bridge is the feature known as Cae convention. This idea was derived ton the Signal Corps of the United fy Army. The convention inform rear partner what cards you hold in i your hand. The came starts bv the dealer bid- , dig the strength of his hand. The I strength of the hand should go right I 4mm thA fino-pra itn tn the hrain. But with most bidders it 6toos at the wrist. Baying bid one dub, the bidder looks at his partner like a mouse in a vinegar barrel. This convention means that he waats to be taken out. "His partner takes him out by bid ' ding three spades. This takes his part I mr out. but Duts them both in deeoer. S The ooDonents dare at each other. The ' dealer then bids five diamonds and is ARTJLENal " j eame in Everybody plays ag hidder'a shoulder. w doubled by Ms partner, who tea Joined his opponents. This play Is given to illustrate the fact that every Bridge. player is rajly. playing three people, and his oartner. It is the only game in the worfd in which , . 1 - .i 1 Vfc 1- it, n-lu everyDoay is a leacnw. " .7 ood game over toe re never met a bad Bridge player in pur life. . - -gwa. -i "There are fiftv-two cards in the deck. Thirteen cards are dealt to each player. After you have been placing a tew months you realize that thirteen cards are not enough. When you con tract to make one spade this means you must take seven tricks. The first six tricks are known as tne dooic Ana that extra seventh trick is the whole Carnegie library. It makes no difference how you play the hand. The real "play ing is reserved for the post-mortem after the final card is played. Then all four players paw around the cards, call each other names and otherwise .act like strangers in a gentlemen's dub." The following hand was recently played in England and has been sent to the writer for analysis: ' Ilearts K,8, 7, 5,4 Oubs -none Diamonds Q, J, 10 Spades K.Q, J, 10,9 Hearts 3, 2 Clubs J, 7,6,4,2 Diamonds K, 5, 3 Spades A, 8, 6 : A Y Z B Heart 6 Clubs 10,9,8,5 Diamonds 9, 8, 4, 2 Spades 7, 5, 3,2 i, Hearts A, Q, T, 10,9 Clubs A,KjQ,3 Diamonds A, 7, 6 Spades 4 No score, robber game. Z dealt, bid i four hearts, A doubled and all passed, j A led the king of spades. How should ! Z play the hand to make game against I any defense? Figure this out before leading the following solution. The mistakes that most players will make with this hand are as follows: (1) Allowing A to win the first trick. I? j " the ace of spades is flayed from Dummy on the second rood A can defeat the contract if he 1 muses to win the first trick in hearts. (2) A great number of players after Winning; the first trick with the ace of epades in Dummy would make Dum ry lead a dub, which, according to them, A should trump, and in this way let Z make his contract These players fail to see that if A. instead of trumping, discarded diamonds (his partner B holds a trick in diamonds) the contract must be lost by Z if A, when trumps are led and finessed, takes the first trick. ' The correct solution is that Z takes the first tnck in Dummy -withgthe ace and leads a heartr claying the 'ninfr from his own hand. Then (f) if A wins With the king and then plays spades, Z allows him to make two tricks' in the suit and Z wins the rest; or (2) if A refuses to win the second trick with the .-' king of hearts, Z should play the ace of hearts and then the ace ot dubs "A ' can then make only his three trumps Hearts J, 10,9 Cbbs 7,6 -Diamonds none Spades J, 10, 9 Problem No. 1 Hearts 3, 2 .

Thirty members -of Uncle Sam's fire control organization gath ered from Clay, Graham and Macon counties in North Carolina, Rabun County in Georgia and Oconee coun ty in South Carolina. Fires in the forest seamed a remote possibility on those two days of heavy rain and muddy roads but fifteen years ex perience has taught the organization that heavy rains only make more luxuriant growth of brush and leaves for the frost to kill and scatter, and dry days with stiff winds are in evitable in October, November and December. The meeting was chiefly concerned with preparedness for 'fires the more effective use of . the forest's seven lookouts for 300 fire fighters, and 278 miles of telephone line and splen did 'road system to reduce 1 the size of the fires that Occur on and near the forest. Progress has been made in this direction since 1925 but forest officers feel their equipment and skill can not be fairly tested except 4 over extended periods of varying weather conditions. They must ' be prepared ,to-handle the bad years. .
