MAGAZ INE PAGE. . Conqlfering Contract By P. HAL SIM: Mr. Sims is universally acclaimed the greatest living contract player. He is captain of the renowned “Four Horsemen” team and has won 24 national championships since 1924. These articles are based on the Sims system, which includes the one-over-one principle which the Sims group of play- ers was the first to employ and develop. Responding to a Forcing Takeout After Bidding No Trumps With a Concealed Long Suit. these circumstances the opening bidder ceases io be the dominant the bidding; the re- must take its full lopment, and guard against any rough the responder attribut- a_more evenly dis- than he actually holds, as Te- support for made a jump take- out At the same time 1t would be wrong to assume that the opener's hand is less suitable for the opment P. Hal Sims v be the key to a suc- cessful slam in hand, and this whether the slam sponder’s suit, in the opener's suit, or in no trumps. If you will refer back to the articles in which I explained the requirements for a forcing take-out in reply to an opening no-trump bid, you will see that the responding hand must not only have a suit as good as five to two of the top three honors, but must also include an ace and some outside values to make up practically three primary tricks. Consequently. it will re-enforce at least one weak spot in the opener's hand outside the suit in which the take- out is made. Have No Fear That the Concealment of Your Suit Will Cause the Hand to Be Misbid. It you will adopt the following pro- cedure, I am sure that the bidding will proceed with the utmost smooth- ness and precision, whether you go on to slam or sign off short of it. The important thing is that your partner should receive information just as exact as that which he has conveyed in mak- ing a forcing take-out. Exact. that is, as regards its minimum requirements. Any additional strength, in whatever form it may be, is indicated in a later rebid. Directions for Opener’s Rebidding Over | a Forcing Take-Out. If the concealed suit is shaded— is A K x x X, instead of A K Q or AQJ x x x instead of A K x X Xx—do not bid it in your first re- sponse. Regard the high cards which are at its head as primary values in & no-trump hand and rebid your hand y. If you have three aces, no trumps. Otherwise, just no trumps. so that the ace s made definite to your part- may be no point in ever bidding your long suit if able to slam in your partner’s suit or in no trumps.

If your high honor is the ace, you can probably name his ace and locate approximately the additional primary or primary-secondary trick which his jump response claimed. (b) If in a later bid he takes out in no trumps, though you have never men- tioned your long suit, you can place him definitely for the queen or better in that suit, This will make your long suit | positively solid and entitle you to slam | in no trumps immediately, provided the | ace situation has slready been ascer- | tained to be satisfactory. Information about your own suit obtained in this | nferential manner will be quite as defi- | | nite as if you had bid that suit and he had raised it, and it will. moreover, save | a whole round of bidding, which you | ‘[ cannot afford to waste, as it is already in a high range after the jump take- | out, (Copyright. 1933.) | Mr. Sims will answer all inquiries on IcontracL that are addressed to this | newspaper and inclose a self-addressed stamped envelope.

C., THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 19 The Windfall Baby. A baby is a joy and care That doubles when there is a pair. —Mother Bear. | HERE was a baby under the great windfall in the Green Forest. Old Man_Coyote knew it. He had heard a faint whine and whim- pering. That was enough to tell him that there was & baby there, and that it was alone. His nose told him whose baby it was. He had hesitated a few minutes there outside that old windfall, for he was hungry. Then dis- creetly he had trotted away. It had been hard to do, but he had done it. Hardly had he disappeared when the baby’s mother returned. It was Mother Bear. Yes, sir, it was great big Mother Bear, That whimpering baby in there was hers, It was Buster Bear's young- est_child “Young and tender.” Old Man Coyote | had muttered as he licked his lips. She was young and tender. That was true But she wasn't quite so young as he supposed. That old windfall had been her nursery far longer than he dreamed She had been born there when the year oung and the Green Forest burled in snow. She had been born in Jan- uary, and Mother Bear alone knew just when her birthday was. In fact, Old Man Coyote was the first nelghbor to find out that there was & cub under Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Talking. If you want to know what talking | means, go to the child between 2 and 3 years of age. When a child begins to talk he is learning to make fine move- ments—to manipulate the instruments of social adjustment in more and still more accurate degrees. Language is movement in no less degree than walk- ing, fighting, working. I am not unmindful of the fact that this statement is likely to meet with a certain amount of opposition. Have you not noticed that in the presence of a non-talkative person you are quite likely to be relatively reticent? And why? The plain fact is that in such company you are not certain about the movements he or she is capable of making. Conversation fis always a sparring procedure with its parries and sidesteps. Of course, there’s a lot of useless talk going on all the time. Not exactly useless, for talking always has some- thing to do with the extension of the ego. Now, what can be said in justification of the great talkers of the world? I| mean those who rattle on with ap-| parently no end to what they have to say. If you want to be unjust, you may say that they possess a rather heavy carryover from childhood. If | you want to be reasonably fair, you may say that they enjoy the company of others, and that their continual talk | is merely a gesture in the direction of social appreciation.

She had no twin sister or brother, and so received all of Mother Bear's love and of attention. So she grew fast. It was surprising how fast she grew. She just ate and slept and grew.

But | now Spring had come, and Mother Bear | was trying to make up for the lohg months when she had had nothing to eat. So she would leave the cub under the old windfall and go out to hunt for roots and any other food she could find. but she never went far away. “Of course, no one would be foolish or bold enough to meddle with a child of mine,” she said to herself. “It is per- fectly safe to leave her.” Then she grew thoughtful. There were other Bears in the Green Forest, and it is dreadful but true that Bears have been known to kill and eat baby Bears not their own. Supposing great Big Buster Bear should happen along and go in er that windfall! It was his own in there. but he didn't know any- g about that. He didn't know he ad & baby “He is just as hungry as I am at this season. and it is just as hard for him | to find enough to eat.” thought Mother Bear. “Tll stitk around.

When Mrs. L. H. Roche had only three children, her washings were a problem. Now, with five lively young- sters to wash for, she doesn’t worry a bit. She’s using a different laundry soap— CHIPSO! “Would you like to know how I got started with Chipso?” Mrs. Roche asked. “It was seven years ago. I was quickly the children’s clothes got shabby- looking, how hard the laundering was to do, how sore and dry the soap made my hands. My mother said, ‘Why don't you try Chipso?* Chipso nothing else. fussing about how marvelous for Well, I did try it—and since then I've used “No matter how dirty the children’s play clothes get, I don’t need to wear them out with hard rubbing. Chipso soaks the dirt out easily. Yet Chipso suds are perfectly safe for dainty organdies and printed silks, and for my silk underwear and stockings. Chipso is so soft and fluffy—and for the children’s woolen stockings. And, believe me, my hands have known new comfort since I've used Chipso regularly for washing clothes and for doing the dishes three times a day.” Chipso is not adulterat: 1 with the harsh blankets, too—makes them substances contained i gradually weaken fabrics and dull their color.
