WOMEN’S FEATURES Conquering Contract | By P. HAL SIM Mr. Sims is universally acclaimed greatest living contract and auction player. He was captain of the remowned “Four Horsemen” team and has won 24 national championships since 1924. For the Jump-Raise. HE one essential requirement is four of the opener's suit, be- cause this trump support must not require any confirmaticn at | any stage of the bidding. Open- er must feel sefe in making other in- formative bids even when his opening suit was only a four-carder. When the responder takes the bidding back to the original suit, that is his sign-off from slam aspira-| tions. It cannot| be used also as a confirmation of a| four-trump hold- ing, which must,| therefore, never be | in need of confir-| mation when the jump raise is used. | The other re- quirements may vary in kind, but| the hand as a whole must fulfill | this condition: If the partner had a| normal opening bid, game must appear absolutely certain. Try, therefore, to visualize a likely normal hand for your partner, and see how your hand ‘matches up with it. Your partner hav- ing bid one heart, attribute to him, for example: P.

F YOU see “3-3-33” as the heading of this story, you may think that there must be a mistake; but that is one way of writing the date, March 3, 1933. By using the num- ber of the month, and by leaying out the “19” in 1933, we save a little time as we start a letter. If we send out a large number of letters, we may save a great deal of time in the course of a year. The point I wish to make today, however, is that on March 3 of this year we use the same number four times with this kind of date-writing. That sort of thing will not happen again until April 4, 1944. When that time comes we shall be able to date our letters 4-4-44—unless we have another form of calendar. I remember a day a little more than 11 years ago when people were able to date letters 2-22-22. That was Febru- ary 22, 1922. There were five “2s” in a row. The use of five similar numbers will not be possible with the present calendar until January 11 in the year 2011 y 1-11-11. On November 11, 2011, they will be able to call the date 11-11-11. Back in 2-22-22 I was just starting to place my daily stories before a large number of readers. Some persons at that time supposed that “comics and bedtime stories” were “the only things” children wanted to read in a news- paper. My idea was that the Great Adventure of Knowledge would be en- joyed by boys and girls. In the 11 years since 2-22-22 I have written more than 3,450 daily stories of history, science, travel, nature and “human interest.” I have received let- ters from so many boys and girls that I could not give you even a close guess about the number, but I know that it runs into hundreds of thousands. Some Jetters have come from Japan, some from Africa, others from England, Ger- many and Switzerland. Now and then children have imag- ined me to be an old, old man with a long white beard; but I have told them that it is not necessary for an People Who live then may write| THE NINETEEN MONTH SIGNS OF THE MAYAN CALENDAR. uncle to be old.

Three inches long, the tail being 13 inches, the wee lizards are not very formidable. In fact, they are often made into pets and permitted to rest in the coat pocket. At the World Fair in Chicago, these beautiful little creatures were sold by the thousands to ladies, who wore them fastened by gold chains to their dresses. It seems unusual that a mouse will frighten a woman so, but a creeping lizard scurrying over the shoulder did not disturb them. Being fashionable has many advantages over fears. ‘The family life of the banded gecho has not received much attention, and here again is & wonderful opportunity for a budding naturalist.
