MAGAZINE PAGE. Conquering Contract BY P. HAL SIMS—— Responding to One No Trump. HE last few articles were devoted to responding hands containing a five-card suit. I gave you my ideas of the theory which should govern your responding policy and illustrated its application with ex- amples of the weakest hands on which to take the various courses of action. I did not go thor- oughly into all the rebidding consid- erations because it will be easier to do so when I write about the re-bid- ding procedure of the opening no trump bidder. I will try to cover the points involved when we look at the situation from the int of view of the original bid~ der. 5-4-3-1-x Distribution. My remarks on P. Hal Sims. the 22 ve- 5-4-2-2 sponding hand apply almost without change to 5-4-3-1. The singleton does not scare me into any desperate efforts to avoid an ultimate no trump contract. In close decisions, however, it would sway me toward a game contract in a major suit in preference to no trumps; definitely <o if, as I explained yester- | day, a major suit take-out produced from the opening bidder a raise in that sult instead of a rebid to two no trumns. From the point of view of passing or taking out on the first round, I over- look the singleton and do not take-out with a hand which would cause me to gl:s 02n the same values arranged -4-2-2, If my side had a partial score I would shade the high card require- ments slightly because of the singleton and the fact that the guess wunfid be transferred from us to the opponents on the second round of bidding. The sign-off will be available that much |* earlier as far as we are concerned. With no partial score, I would still pass— —J 10 x xx ts—K x x x or —Q X X X X 5—Q X x X though I would take out in spades on both of them with a score of 40 or more. If the five-card suit is & minor and the four-card suit a biddable major, I would bid my major suit secondarily, over the two no trump re-hid. My partner knows it is a four-card suit because I did not bid it first, and he should now be able to make the right decision. However, if my hand were something like— Sp-K J x x His —K G—x x x and the bidding weni: One no_trump, two diamonds, two no trumps—I would now bid three no trumps. My single- ton is a king, I have good material to work with in two suits. The hand may be close for making three no trumps, but its prospects certainly will not be injured by my refraining from telling the opponents that the spade lead would be bad for them. My insistence on strong, sound open- ing no trump bids is the result of very long experience in all the games of the whist family. In contract its effective- ness is enormously increased as com- pared with bridge and auction, and that largely because of the scope and relie! from fear which it confers on the re- sponding hand. Dl—=x x x L x DIL—10 x x Cl—x DIi—K X X X X THE EVENING DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Duty of Depression Victim to Cheer Up for Sake of Family —Husband Wants Thought of Wife Centered on Him. EAR MISS DIX—On account of the depression my father has come to live with us, his home and money and job being lost. We have a small apartment, one child and a limited salary. He has been with us now nearly two years. Naturally enough, he is plunged into the deepest depression and continually preaches doom and destruction, what the world is coming to, and over and over his misfortunes. You cannot blame him, but he is driving my hus- wild and he says my father must go, as he cannot work and then come home each night to such a gloomy household, and our place is so little that we cannot get away from each other, and with the baby it is only rarely that we can go out at night. My father is already so unhappy that I cannot bear to hurt him any more and there is no place he can go except to a cheap boarding house. But my husband says that he cannot stand the added strain of listening to my father's wails after he has worked hard all day, and that if my father stays he is g&g to leave. A VICTIM OF DEP! ION. so what must I do? ANSWER: ‘There is only one thing you can do under the circumstances, and that is to tell your father he will have either to cheer up or leave. Your own living and that of your child depend upon your husband. 80 does your happiness and the well-being of all of you. It is easy to see how your sympathy for your father tears at your heart and how almost impossible it is to send him away in his despair to live with strangers, but you must also see your husband’s point of view and realize how it saps the last bit of courage. Perhaps if you would tell your father this and make him realize how depressing his gloomy conversation is and how his lamentations get on your husbands nerves, he would at least keep silent, even if he cannot chirk up a bit. It seems to me that in these dark and troublous times one of our principal dutles to our fellow creatures is to scatter seeds of glad- ness instead of planting a fresh crop of grief. Am all, talking about our misfortunes does not mitigate them. It doesn’t give us back our jobs, nor restore our lost money. nor make the bad stocks we invested in But when w2 spend an hour weep- ing over our bad luck we leave our friends just that much more sodden with sympathy and misery and hopelessness. We have sent their spirits down to zero without raising our own. After all, we are weak and cowardly to give in to despair just because STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. THURSDAY, WHO REMEMBERS?

He does not want me even to talk with the neighbors. Says that when a woman is married she should forget friends and think only of her husband and child.

And if one bumps our planet, Upon its wild career, Answer: Your husbars certainly has prehistoric ideas about women. He should have lived in the days when husbands locked their wives in their houses when they went away and took the key with them. His objection to your having your woman friends come to see you in the afternoons and having a bit of gossip with a neighbor is too ridiculous to argue about. Just laugh off his strictures and pay no attention to them, and after a while he will come to see himself how silly they are. “YHEN a man says that after a woman is married she should have no thought except for her husband and children, he doesn’t realize how much trouble he is preparing for himself. For, if all a woman has to think about is her home, she grows narrow and dull and has nothing to talk about except the price of butchers’ meat and what time she hung out the wash and how much trouble the children are and how many hours she stood over the cooking stove getting dinner. If a woman concentrates all of her thoughts on her husband, he is certainly in for a bad time. because she will not only see every fault and harp upon it, but she will be suspicious of everything he does. She will put him through the third degree of a cross-examination. The wise man encourages his wife to have just as many and varied outside interests as she can. That keeps her bright and peppy and happy and makes her an interesting companion. DOROTHY DIX. !even make attempts at politeness dis- . | ble Pointed Paragraphs | |**Difere common divisor.
