He | New Rules Liberate Bridge—Better and Cheaper| | Urges City to Back Dummy and Change Scoring. i BY HOWARD P. BAILEY. UMMIES no longer must be dumb under the new bridge rules announced last night by the Whist Club as a result of an international agree- ment revising the present code. Neither will a fortunate distribution or two resulting in grand slams, nor an | unfortunate bid that may be set four or five tricks throw out of balance an otherwise tight-fought battle. The rules become effective tomor- TOW. Heretofore the dummy limited to the regulation question, “No spades, partner,” when the part- ner fails to follow a spade lead and the inalienable and reprehensible practice of telling a partner who goes down just how he might have made the contract. Slam Bonuses Sliced. The new rules, announced by Har- old S. Vanderbilt, cut the slam bonus | vulnerable from 2,250 points back to the old bonus of 1.500 vulnerable and from 1.500 to 1,000 invuinerable The jaded brain, near exhaustion from fighting out the play of 13 cards, will find scoring somewhat easier. The old 3C-40-30-40-etc. score for no trump has been simplified. The first trick scores as 40 and each sub- | sequent trick 30. This incidentally permits game through three successive | one no trump contracts, not possible | heretofore. Undertricks not vulnerable but doubled ars penalized at the rate of 100 for the first trick and 150 for each has been | In other words, a protest against some | angle of the bidding for instance is invalid after the play starts i | Another important change involves | | playing out of turn by a defender.| | Should this be discovered before the declarer has played both from his own | |hand and the dummy, the declarer | may demand that the highest or low-| est card held in that suit by the| | other defender shall be played to the | trick. This rule no doubt will have such serious consequences in many | cases that more care will be exercised by the defending hands. The question of just when a card becomes “played” is also defined spe- cifically. The principal violation of the played card rule involves the A card which is touched in the declarer. unless he spe- y he is touching it, must be It behooves the declarer, therefore. to make up his mind before reaching across the table. Insufficient Bid Rules. During the auction the insufficient bid penalty is modified somewhat. If it is a pass before the first bid. | the player must pass when it be- comes his next turn to bid. If it is an overcall. his partner may not bid at any time during the auction. However, if an opponent overcalls an improper bid, the bidding continues in regulation form, even though the opponent’s overcall is still below the original bid. | In the case of insufficient bids the Mme. Stokowski Symphony’s Drive Believes National Capital Should Have Orchestra Second to None. Mme. Olga Samaroff Stokowski, for- mer wife of the musical director of the Philadelphia Orchestra, believes the Capital should support an or- chestra second to none. Mme. Stokowski, who is keenly in- terested in the progress of the Na- tional Symphony’s drive for a $100.000 sustaining fund, wrote the following , MARCH 17, P.W. A, EXTENSION 10 1587 15 ASKED Glass Amendment to Relief Bill Expected to Be Passed Tomorrow. (Continued From First Page.) the money can be expended during the coming year and he pointed out that Congress would be in session again next January and could make any further provision for relief that was needed. In support of his con- tention that the money cannot be used, he said that Harry L. Hopkins, relief administrator, had expended $1,069,000,000 in 1934 and that the States and municipalities had spent another $400,000,000 for relief. He contended that it was not possible to spend so large a sum on public work relief projects; that it would take time to make plans for the per- manent projects. During the Senate debate on the McCarran prevailing wage amend- ment, which the administration finally succeeded in defeating after weeks of effort, there cropped out a new terminology for work relief | projects. Part of these projects are to be “made work,” as distinguished from the more permanent construc- tion of public works. In fact, the| argument was advanced that the wages paid on the “made work” | projects should not be necessarily | |as high as those paid on the per- | manent works. “Made work” re- calls to the minds of Senators the | kind of work that was done under the C. W. A. Vote Delay Is Seen. | Adams insists that it is better to | appropriate $2,880,000,000 for relief this year, and then another $2,000,- 1 000,000 if it be necessary for the fol- lowing year than to appropriate nearly | $5,000,000,000 this year and in all probability a similar sum next year. | He will make the first speech in the Senate on his amendment That the Senate will be able to reach a vote on his proposal tomorrow is doubtful. Senator La Follette of Wisconsin, taking an opposite tack from that of Senator Adams, will offer his amend- | ment to raise the total appropriation in this bill to $10.000.000,000. He plans | a “title 2” to the bill which will carry $5,200,000,000 for a continuation of the public works program under the | P. W. A., with sums allocated for cer- | tain categories of projects. The La Follette proposal, however, seems | doomed to defeat. letter to Mary Howe, well-known com- poser, after attending a recent con- | cert by the orchestra here: “Washington has every possibility | for a splendid orchestra—a conductor | of unmistakable gifts and high ar-| tistic ability who has demonstrated | his power to create and develop an orchestra, a group of public-spirited citizens evincing just the kind of un- selfish interest needed in artistic proj- ects, and a large, growing audience of the type that is really hungry for music. ) “Such a development is what Is most needed in this country and the National Capital should give an ex- ample to all the cities that are striv- ing in the same direction. I cannot believe that any real music lover in Amendment Eliminated. } In the hour and a half that the Sen- | | ate sat yesterday, a committee amend- ment requiring the President to under- | take all sanitary work on relief projects by contract was eliminated. The amend- ment had heen inserted at the instance of the Master Plumbers’ Asociation. who claimed that the work could be better done if only skilled workers were em- ployed. La Follette and others pro- | | tested, saying that many of the cities | | do such work with their regular city | | employes. Glass explained the master plumbers had fold the committee that | the plumbing at Reedsville, a project | in which Mrs. Roosevelt has been in- | terested, would not work because it had been improperly installed. Senator Hastings sarcastically asked Washington or any citizen who is really civic-minded and national- minded at the same time could fail to support such a campaign.” MICHAEL CUDAHY SUED successive trick, replacing the former | penalty is somewhat more drastic. | Breach of Promise and Betrayal graduated system of rising penalties. In the cace of vulnerable undertricks undoubled, the cost is 100 a trick; that is, three tricks would entail a penalty of 300 rather than 450 under the progressive method. Doubled, the undertricks would cost 200 for the first and 30 for each successive un- | dertrick. Single Hands in Control. The object of these changes is obvious, the framers of the new code believing that more vulnerable bidding will occur with the lighter penalties and that a close-fought evening at| bridge will not be thrown out of bal- ance by che outcome of a single deal. The rights of the dummy are ex- pressly stated and strictly limited, but nevertheless they constitute rights which only the dummy can take from himself. tional glance, into an opponents’ hand | seals his lips during the subsequent | play, but should he keep his eyes | where they belong, he may reply to a player'’s proper question, discuss | questions of fact or law, if invited to do so, question the declarer re-| garding his possible revoke and call| attention to a defender’s irregularity and ask the declarer whether knows his rights. In other words, the dummy is permitted to be in the game However, if by touching a card or in any other way he should suggest its play. the defender on the left may specify whether or not that particular card shall be played at that time. If he tells his partner from which Yand to lead without being asked, the defender to the left may specify from which hand the lead shall come. So it may be as well for the dummy to maintain his dumbness and depart caution. Protest Timing Fixed. The periods of play are divided into five, known as the preliminaries to the rubber, the shuffie and deal, the auction, the play and the score.

Influx of Patients Breaks Children’s Hospital Records Flow Continues in March, Indicating New High Will Be Reached. An all-time record for the number of patients treated at Children’s Hos- pital was made during February, ac- cording to a report submitted by hos- | pital authorities to the Community Chest. Present indications are that the February record will be broken this month, it was said. Although the records exceeded those of any previous month, the figures available were comparisons with the same month last year. Last month there were 524 patients, with 4.969 hospital days, compared with 372 pa- tients and 3,460 hospital days in Feb- ruary, 1934. Last February there were 4,084 treated in the dispensary, compared with 2,981 the previous | February, and 1,064 child welfare visits last month, compared with 663 similar visits during the same month | last year. | These conditions have so crowded the hospital that a large percentage of those accepted were on the danger list, Miss Mattie Gibsen, superin- tendent, pointed out. Beds have been placed in every available space in the hospital. It was also shown in the report that 1,103 more visits were made to the dispensary, 401 more visits to the child welfare department, 126 more operations performed, 1585 more laboratory findings and 262 more so- cial service visits made last month than in February, 1934. .
