THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, JULY 18, 1920 unfortunate, but was not a deterrent to. the no-trump bid. The "fact of its being an ace rather than some other card was. of course, greatly in its favor. Four cards to a 9 are not a bad holding. The 9 in such case not infrequently becomes ulti mately in control. A bid "two hearts." and T, who held a stepper In hearts .and two high spades, went "two ne trumps." B passed, likewise Z. A, influenced by the fact that his partner did not raiee his bid. and feeling he stood a chance to defeat not only game but the contract, also passed, so the hand was played at "two no trumps," with case would have been sfcmewhat dif ferent, and, because of the . unusual strength in the suit, many even first grade players would doubtless have bid. In such case the bid would have been a free bid, calling simply for the bid of one; in the example as given, it would have boen a forced bid, call ing for n two-trick contract. Notwithstanding, there are many excellent players who. even with seven trumps to the ace or king, will refuse to bid if the Uand lacks the outside '.rick. Such cases resolve themselves more into matters of individual Judg ment than of strict adherence te rule, many contending that the additional GENERAL WOOD'S DAUGHTER SAILS TO BE DRIVER FOR WORK IN DEVASTATED FRANCE Miss Helen Bonham, Who Rode Across Continent as Courier for Governor of Wyoming, Seis New York From Back of Horse on Roof of HoteL Lift Off Corns! k am Doesn t Hurt a Apply a few drops of "Freezone" upon that old, bothersome corn.

A led" king of hearts and Z. after giving the two hands a mo ment's thought, covered with p.ce. He saw that if he did so the queen, jack only could make against him and his 9 would ultimately be in control, whereas were he to withhold the ace a small card to the inext round would force it and his 9 would inevitably lose. In other words. He would take but one trick in the suit instead of two. and after the second round the suit would be fully established. Trick 2 Z led the club, putting up the king from his own hand and A winning with ace. A was entirely justified In at once giving up the command, as he had good reason to suppose his hearts were fully estab lished. At Trick 3 he led the heart queen and to his discomfiture B renounced, thus showing that Z originally held four of the suit to the 9 and would in evitably win a trick in the suit. How ever, at Trick 4 he led the heart jack and at Trick 5, in the hope that through the guarded king of diamonds he might later regain the lead and make his remaining hearts, led another heart. Z won the trick with the heart 9 and at Trick 6 came out with the queen of clubs. To this trick the very thing happened that he devoutly hoped would happen, that is. the 10 of clubs fell, thus making dummy s 8 of clubs n sequence with his remaining clubs and enabling him to use it as a card of re-entry. Therefore, at Trick 7. instead of leading out an the clubs, ht led his lone ace of spades. unblocking to dummy's king, queen This done, at Trick 8 he led his small club, dummy got in the lead with the club 8 and at Tricks 9 and 10 made nis King queen of spades. The lead of the dia mond at Trick 11 put declarer again in the lead, and at Tricks 12 and 13 he made his re maining clubs. Declarers play throughout is marked by an unusually high order of perception and skill. ThiJ is in dicated not only by his immediate play of the command of the adverse suit but bv his so planning that the 8 of clubs held by dummy became re-entry card through which, after having first unblocked in his own hand by leading the ace of spades, he was enabled to put the dummy in to make the king, queen. There are comparatively few players. I fear, who would have foreseen and so skilfully utilized the possibilities of the two hands. The more surely to emphasize the value of correct play. I will replay the hand and have Z hold up the ace of hearts to the first heart lead, as many, not foreseeing that in so doing they would not only lose a trick In the 'suit but would fully establish the suit in the hand of the adversary. would undoubtedly do. The play would go thus: number of trumps and the ace, king, queen at the top, they will not bid on the first round without an outside trick: tnd that if there Is never a second round, they will not mind los ing the hanJ. Such players carry the case entirely too far and there can be no possible doubt the consensus of expert opinion would be strongly against them. In fact tha player who would not make a first round bid on such a holding would certainly be the excep tion even among expert players. Any Deginner, or course, would bid the suit without givinir the matter a second thought, but even that fact would not necessarily condemn the bid.

AFTER riding across the continent as a courier for Governor Carey of Wyoming, "Miss Wyoming" (Mies Helen Bonham), the original for the celebrated "Miss Wyoming" pos ters advertising the Cheyenne "Fron tier Ray and hound Up," "saw" New York from the back of her horse on the roof of the Hotel McAlpin. She rode up to the desk of the hotel when she registered and then rode up to the hotel roof, from where she looked down on New York with Morgan Chaney of San Antonio. She delivered an mvltailon to the round up to Pres ident Wilson, Senator Harding and others in Washington and to Mayor Hylan in New York. RULES ment not I "Continue to study here in Amer ica. Don't feel that you have to go abroad, even though conditions there are bettering themselves," says Emma Roberts, .great American contralto, addressing her compatriot students of music. Miss Roberts knows whereof she speaks, for she is an Amerlcanrmade artist. . "The war sent to our shores not only the foremost artists, but also tome of the greatest teachers of the world, and almost without exception they. 'are going to remain here." she says. "Our opera companies have de veloped into the greatest organiza tions of their kind and now at last, and for the first time, present in leading roles singers who have never studied abroad." . Madame Pierre Tartone, wife of the celebrated artist, possesses two "Tur piel" birds of gorgeous plumage which she- brought to this country insured f or; J10.000. The birds were obtained from a cannibal tribe in Colombia, she states, and are able to sing airs from grand operas. She is to demonstrate their talents in a special concert. The birds are so tame that she often goes strolling about the streets of New "York with them on her shoulders. .... AIIbs"L'0"uisd Wood, daughter' ULES are for the usual develop- ts in the game of auction. the exceptional ones. As a Dlaver familiar with the rules and the reasons for governing them gains experience in play, he gradually reaches the point (if he is an adapt able player) where he recognizes sit uations where rules should be de parted from and exceptional play adopted. The expert player of course recognizes such situations at a glance. To the beginner, howeier, these de partures are naturally more or less confusing. He no-.sooner learns the rules and feels'himelf .well fortified in this respect, than' he is told that in such and such situation the rules did not apply and 4hat he would have secured better results had he em ployed different methods. In this very thing, however in the fact that the game is possessed of In finite variety and that methods which should be employed in one case would be distinctly wrong in another lies one of its greatest charms. If all hands were practically alike and there were nothing to do but blindly to follow rule, the game would lose its chief charm and soon degenerate into a cut-and-dried mechanical contest where judgment. intelligence and adaptability would count for but little. Naturally it is somewhat difficult to formulate a rule or rules for de parting from rule, arrS in cases call ing for such, departure much nearly all must be left to the judgment of the individual player. There is perhaps no rule which ad mits of more important exceptions than the rule which calls at a no trump declaration" for the holding up of the command of the adversary's suit (when possible) until such round as will likely exhaust the partner of what cards he holds of the suit, thus it making the bringing in ot the suit dependent upon the holder himself having a reentry. Situations calling for such depart ures may be briefly summed up as iohows: When the player holding the com mand holds a long established suit. and, more than ever, when, as adver sary, he sees enough tricks to defeat game, or, as declarer, to make game. When one holds two commanding cards of the adverse suit, or. with the command, such other card as will eventually be in command. It is bet ter in such case to take the imme diate trick and go to work on one's own suit, holding up the next com mand, if this seems necessary, when the suit is again led. When one is entirely defenceless in one suit (this applies particularly to the declaring side), should the adver sary, suspecting weakness in this re spect, shift to such suit, game, even one's contract, might be overthrown before the chance again offered for declarer to get in the lead. Better in such case to take the immediate trick and make what is possible in the two remaining suits. The following hand is a good ex ample of the importance under certain conditions of departing from rule and at once playing the command of the adverse suit. It will be found an excellent lesson hand in other respects as well as it is only through exceed ingly clever play on the part of de clarer that he scores game and rubber. A 10 8 6 5 4 7 6 5 4 2 K Q 4 Whatever A might lead to the next trick, Z would get in the lead and make the remaining tricks. However, he not only fails to make game, but falls down on his contract to the ex tent of one trick. The majority of players are so prone tc bid on hands that in no sense jus tify a bid that I give the following case as cited by R. F. Foster: Z. the player who dealt, bid no trumps, and A held six spades to the ace. king, queen: a singleton heart: Jack and one diamond: queen, jack and one other club. The question was asked whether or not A should pass or bid "2 spades." Comments as given by Foster are as follows: "There is little use in bidding a suit that has not enough behind it to go game with average assistance from the partner, especially if that suit is strong enougn to save the game. In this case if the spades drop, the game li saved. If they do not drop, the club re-entry is the only hope. Even if they do drop, there must be four more tricks somewhere to go game in spades. The chance of setting the no trumper is much better than a bid. I hope this advice will be taken seriously to. heart by such players as insist up'-n bidding on suits of five or even six to perhaps the queen, jack. with a sure or likely re-entry in an other suit, and who, though repeat edly told such hand in no sense justi fies a bid (and the reasons why), still remain "doubting Thomases. In the example as given by Foster, had ther b;en no previous bid.

"The county nurse must give In struction in the homes of tuberculosis patients, instruct mothers in the prop er care of babies, teach correct feed ing or the pre-school child and the proper feeding and clothing of the school child, particularly in the mat ter of school lunches, which .are the rule rather than the exception in the country districts; give instruction and advice to the pre-natal mother and bedside care and instruction in bed side care. Added to these duties is the physical examination of Bchool children and inspection of. school buildings for hygienic and sanitary placing and construction. "It is. not possible to make home calls In the rural districts, but I have found community meetings at the schooihouse very helpful. In such meetings the condition of the children was discussed in a general way and the cause and results of conditions found were presented. After the meet ing I am always surrounded by very anxious mothers eager to learn. "There is no more important pha-se of the work than that of educating the public to an appreciation of the value of public health nursing.' This may be done by bringing to the minds of the lay members of the pub lic health association a wider knowl edge of public health projects in the way of child welfare, tuberculosis and social hygiene clinics, the problems of undernourishment of school chil dren and introducing and fostering the modern Health crusade among school children. "We are bringing about the child welfare clinic in my county through the women's club organizations.

"Coos county is distinctive in that every sort of transportation is used in getting over the county. Steam trains, automobiles, boats, horse and carriage and horseback and some places I tramp on foot. During the influenza epidemic last winter I had a three mile trip into the hills in the cab of a small engine used to haul logs and one of my temporary assistants was obliged to desert her machine two miles from her journey's end In the middle of a very dark night and mount a horse for the rest of the trip."

The society ot Free Masons ante dates all other societies by centuries. Its origin 13 so ancient that the place and time of its birth are unknown. Its legends say that it was organ ized at the building of the temple of Solomon, but this is not accepted with much credence. By some writers its origin has been ascribed to the Druids, by others to the Knights Templars and to Pythagoras, and it has not escaped the fad which in modern times has attributed so many of the uncertain productions to the nimble brain of Sir Francis Bacon. Within recent years traces of the or ganization are said to have been dis covered in Palestine or the Egptian obelisks and in the pramids. In fact it has been asserted that investiga tors have become satisfied that the society grew directly from an organi zation engaged in the construction of the pyramids.
