Doubling, Redoubling. ’ONE of our favorite opponents is the automatic redoubler. This player's theory is that if he has reached a certain contract on correct bidding, he should make it. Hence, {if an opponent doubles, he redoubles !aummallrnl]\'. without realizing that in all probebility the double may in- dicate a massing of trumps in back of him and that his hand, which theoretically should play at game, actually is now certain to be set, East, Dealer.

Pass Pass Pass ‘West opened the king of spades and, squirm as he might, declarer was set two tricks, as he could not get away from losing two spades, two trumps and a club trick, In discussing the hand with us, South asked what was wrong in his getting to game on the hand. Our reply to this was very simple: “Up to game, the bidding by you and your partner was absolutely cor- rect. Your combined hands have, in our opinion, much better than a 50 per cent chance for game. 1In the first place, without a spade opening, noth- ing can beat you, since you have time to clear the clubs and thereby obtain two discards of losing spades. And even with a spade opening, you still can make your contract with & favor- able trump break. Accordingly, if you and your partner get this same hand again, bid your game once | more. “But, when West doubled you, you made & serious mistake. Obviously his double indicated two things: First, that he had massed trumps in back of you; second, that he had a good lead all picked out. From your hand you, of course, would know that that good lead must be a spade, and ac- cordingly, you should have refrained from redoubling and thereby lost only 300 points instead of 600.” (Copyright, 1937.)

Bees Capture Town. Bees took possession of the town of Nieuwoudvine, South Africa, and bat- tled the citizens for hours. A swarm entered the house of Mr. and Mrs. M. Van der Merwe, who lighted sacks to drive out the invaders. The house was set afire and a neighbor, who had come to give aid, was hurt. A physician who tried to treat the injured man was so badly stung that he could not see his patient. A school was attacked while the children were at play on the cam- pus. The bell was rung and the pupils were hurriedly shepherded into the class rooms, the doors and windows being shut immediately. A number of the children were stung badly. ‘The shades of night have some ef- fect upon the weather.
