BY HUBERT W. ESRY.
TT1ROM a financial and advertising
J? standpoint the third annual Ben
son technical show was a complete
success. Approximately 6200 people
paid admissions on Thursday and Fri
day nights. Besides the price of ad
mission there will be added to the
profits the receipts of the cafeteria,
the dance and the peanut stands
which were stationed throughout the
building.
Each shop of the school provided
features for both nights of the show,
the special ones being: A heat in the
foundry, exhibition of a Liberty "12
running In the gas engine shop, the
opportunity to view many thousands
of dollars worth of machinery In
action, the demonstrating of -the mod
ern miracles of science, specimens of
the completed work of students of the
school and all the latest methods for
carrying on the work of the Indus
trial world.
The vaudeville programme Thurs
day night and the dance Friday at
tracted many patrons of the show.
Special editions of the Tech Pep, Ben
son's weekly publication, were Issued
n each evening and were given to
the visitors.
Each club and organization of the
school contributed liberally to the oc
casion. The Heeneekis club ushered,
and, through one of its members.
Arthur Raymond, ran the peanut
stands: the Benson Tech Boosters
managed the cafeteria; the Lettermen
helped in the guiding of visitors and
in the guarding of the doors; the
Hi-Y's successfully ran the dance; the
fire squad acted as guides and- gen
eral assistants; tire Zographemians
assisted In the library, and the Min
ute Men rendered invaluable service
in the sale of tickets.
Altogether the tech show will go
down in Benson history as one of the
most successful attempted by the in
ters to the following wrestling men:
Stanley Grund, David Peatty, Thomas
O'Brien, Samuel Miller, Harry Clark,
James Horn, George Haggren and
Harry Harris, manager. A commit'
tee. consisting of Nick Hatch, chair
man, George Peters and Hubert Esry,
was appointed to take Immediate
steps to stop the grass-walking prac
tice.
In its first dual meet of the season
the Benson track team clashed .with
the Lincoln high aggregation Friday
afternoon on the Benson track. The
Minute Men were in charge of the
field.
i
On Friday afternoon the June '22
class of Benson met in room s for a
temporary organization . This Is one
of the liveliest and largest classes In
school and promises to make the oth
ers sit up and take notice.
The Tech nine won its first game
of the season Monday afternoon on
the Benson grounds by slugging Its
way to a 16-to-4 victory over the
James John team. Ragged fielding by
tbe visitors and heavy hitting by the
Benson boys accounted for the score.

lzed a - baseball team. At present
there are 18 girls out for practice.
They are using the reservoir or Lin
coln's athletic field for practice. The
girls elected Gussie Lenchner mana
ger. Bertha Liebreich captain and
Margaret Kelm editor. They hope to
play several games against the other
high school girls teams of the city.
Members of the January '22 class
are proudly displaying their class
pins, which they received Tuesday.
The pin is modeled somewhat like the
Hi-Ya pins. They are of diamond
shape, with the raised initial "C" in
the center with "January" above the
initial and "22" below.
On Thursday, May 5, J. E. Gratke,
who is working to promote the 1925
exposition, spoke to the students. He
told about the beauties of Oregon
scenery and urged the students to
help advertise Oregon so that people
will want to come here. His talk was
impressive and he received hearty applause.
The baseball squad was defeated
Thursday afternoon on Multnomah
field by a score of 6 to 4.
Owing to the fact that all the Tri-L
officers except one are seniors it has
been necessary for the society to
elect new officers, because the seniors
are seeking positions before the close
of school. The following were elected
Bell, . ajid ! to hold office for the rest of this
term: Annie Runes, president; Mar
ine Martin, vice-president; Doris
Sprague, secretary; Marian Sibley,
editor; Pearl Messner, treasurer;
Gladys Webb, sergeant-at-arms.

As a part of the programme, two
groups, under the direction of Eleanor
Doughty and Earl Tormey, presented
stunts. The first one was a playlet
called "Rose in Amore," which was
greeted with laughter from the on
lookers.
The second performance, a "comic
opera," was true to its name. Last,
but not least, came the modern
Romeo and Juliet." Although this
little playlet was in reality a tragedy
it had the effect of a comedy on the
audience. A short business meeting

Welcoming the opportunity to ob
tain another school credit, a number
of students took the Bible examina
tion Friday. The Old Testament exam
ination was given in the-morning
and the New Testament in the after
noon.
In response to a very general de
mand for out-door clubs by the stu
dents, the school Is taking the first
steps toward organizing a hiking
club. Units by classes will be organ
ized and these combined will be
known as the James John Hiking
club. Plans for this club were die
cussed briefly at the Tuesday morn
Ing assembly.
The purpose is to conduct hikes in
an orderly manner, to creat an inter
est in the great out-of-doors, and to
co-operate with other hiking organl
zations of the city. Enthusiastic In
terest Is being shown by all the ntu
dents, and they feel certain that in
a very short time this hiking clup

Advertising the senior playi "Ro-
blna in Search of a Husband," which
was presented Friday and Saturday
nights, a number of the "stars of the
cast" told of the merit of their com
ing production at assembly Tuesday,
In fact, so successful was their
method of advertising that the sale
of tickets Increased immediately and
the result was a "full-house" both
nights.
It was a coincidence that the play
was given on Friday the 13th and
that the cast was composed of 13
members; nevertheless everything
was a decided success.
Following up the work of the past
week in the English VII class, these
debates' were the order of the week
Resolved: That written term exam
inations should be abolished; That
the president of the United States
should be elected for a single six

A new method to prevent tardiness
was Introduced at Lincoln at the be.
ginning of the term and it has proves
to be very successful. Since it was
introduced the number of tardy pu
pils has noticeably decreased. Room
318 has been established as a deten
tion room and all tardy pupils report
there for a half-hour after school.
Two teachers are in charge of the
room each day. Somehow this plan
seems to be more disagreeable than
any of the former plans have been
and the students exert themselves to
get to school and to classes on time.

A big Lincoln alumni reunion Is
planned for June 27. Lincoln g radii

preparing for this reunion for a long
time and it is to be an exceptionally
big affair.
www
Class baseball teams have been
formed lately and have been prac
ticing hard. Inter-class games will
soon attract the students interest.
Probably the most exciting of these
games will be the one between tee
two senior classes. It has been an
annual custom at Lincoln, for a long
time, for the two senior classes to
match their athletic ability in a base
ball game and this custom Is to be
carried out again this year.
Lincoln was doubly Interested In the
fact that Reed college won In the de
bate against British Columbia a week
ago Friday because Jacob Welnsteln,
one of the men on Reed's team. Is a
Lincoln graduate. Mr. Welnsteln was
noted, while he attended Lincoln, lor

novelty matinee dance Thursday for
the benefit of the moving picture
machine fund. The dance was well
advertised and a large crowd was
present. Balloons, candy, hula
wreaths and Jan caps were sold to
the dancers and these articles old
a great deal to enliven the affair.

Because of the ban placed on meet
ings during school hours, the French
club has not been doing much, but
the regular meetings have now been
resumed and work again taken up.
At the meeting held Tuesday a very
good programme wss given. This
included an extract from the speech
made at the reception to President
Wilson at Paris, given In French by
Lucy Hoover.
Jane de Lin and Alice Enderud
gave a humorous French play which
was very interesting to the audience.
The club is now planning to make

The regular meeting of the Zetaa
was dispensed with Wednesday and
a number of the girls, went in ma
chines to the Louise home, where they
presented a short programme. Alice
A Id rich sang several songs, Patsy
Neilan gave a violin solo, and Mildred
Whitcomb gave two humorous read
ings: "The Mustard Plaster," and
"The Average Boy."
The Zetaa have a heavy programme
or the rest of the terra, but they
hope to accomplish a great deal in
the remaining six weeks.
The girls' hiking club has found an
appropriate name in "Clatawa." an
Indian term meaning "go." Although
the -rain and muddy trails have kept
the girls Indoors, several hikes have
been planned for good weather.
The Kana-da-kae received their
pins last week. The pins are In the

The June class song has been writ

S MUCH contusion still exists, I
find, in the minds of many
players concerning the proper
ise and application of the one-trick
r informatory double, I feel it in
cumbent to take op the subject again
today.
The correct use of policies of this
nature calls for mature Judgment and
xtremely careful handling. They are
Ln fact Intended for the experienced
player only. When, therefore, they
re employed by players of moderate
Icaliber more often than not they are
I used under circumstances not Justify

If players must use pre-emptive

Mm to speak, I would recommend at
least that they be made in accord

individual opinion the conditions are
favorable for their use. And under
Ino circumstances should a player at-
Itempt them unless it is known, not
simply thought, that bis partner will
fully understand their significance
land act in accordance with the mea-
Iciage embodied.
Not long since the following case
Icame within my observation: The
I dealer bid one no trump and second
I Player doubled. Third player passed.
I and fourth player, the doubling play
er's jartner, who did not understand
Ithe part she was expected to play
n the transaction, also passed, need
lass to say. greatly to the dismay of
Ithe doubling player. The declarant.
Iwell pleased with the turn of affairs.
I likewise passed, and the doubling
I player, vainly wishing he had kept
silent, though inwardly berating his
partner s lack of comprehension,
found himself in a quandary. His
hand being made up of abort suits
only, he had no suit bid to fall back
upon, and he could not tell whether
it were better to risk tbe hand being
played by the adversary at his double
or to call two no trumps and hHnself
become the declarant. This he finally
decided upon, and as It turned out
his partner had really nothing of
lvalue, he was set for three tricks and
I incurred a penalty of 150, aces easy.
The dummy had . five clubs to the
I Jack and declarant had queen, 10 and
one small club. The original no-
trump bidder held ace, king and one
Ismail club, and, of course, held up
the final command until the declarant
led ont of the suit. The dummy
had no re-entry, and the suit, there
fore, was not brought in. Had the
one-trick, double, stood, the declarant
would have made one trick over his
contract and his total score would
have been 140 40 for- the doubled
tricks, 60 for making good at a dou
ble and SO for the additional trick.
Had the doubling player's partner
bid "two clubs," as he should have
done, and the bid held, while they
would still have been set for one
trick, their loss would have been sim
ply S3 (SO less honors), as against-
in the one case, ISO; in the other. 140,
I give this illustration as show
ing the absolute need of harmony and
understanding on the part of players
employing this convention. Lacking
this, tbe player making such double
runs a desperate risk and would
much better not venture the double.
There are two distinct doubling
conventions, both of which are sup
posed to be confined to one-trick
doubles, or at least to original dec
larations. These are the no-trump
doubles and the suit double. When
the bidding has been round once or
twice the double is usually confined
to cases in which the doubler thinks
he can set the contract unless he is'
simply persisting in a previous dou O
Of these two doubles, the suit and
the no trump, the no-trump double
is probably the one more often
abused by the beginner because he
Is continually trying to force it to
fit situations for which it is not
suitable.
There are three distinct positions
ln which this double may be used,
according to the player who first
makes the no-trump bid, and the
place occupied by the one who dou
bles. Each of these must be exam
ined separately in order to under
stand the theory that underlies the
convention.
The simplest case is when the
dealer bids no trump and the second
hand also holds a no-trumper. In the
game as formerly played this player
would either bid "two no trumps" or
sit tight and say nothing. Accord
ing to the modern game the player
doubles. This embodies a command
tv bis partner to bid his longest suit,
the doubler promising to assist that
suit or to lead.lt if It is overcalled.
This double has the advantage of
position, as it holds a real no-trumper
over an alleged no-trumper. which
can be led through, provided dummy
has a trump suit with which to get
into the lead. These doubles are
based on the assumption that original
no-trump bids are not always what
they are supposed to be, and that It
is usually better to play after such
a hand than to lead up to it- When.
as explained, the double is used with
Judgment and under conditions fully
Justifying it, - excellent results are
often the outcome. On tbe other
hand, there is nothing more to be
deprecated or which can lead to more
serious loss than the misuse of this
double.
A double of this nature - Is occa
sionally made to the score. The fol
lowing hand is illustrative of this,
and. as it turned out, was the best
policy the doubling player could have
adopted:

It was the first deal on the rubber
game. Z, the dealer, bid no trumps.
A, the player next to bidder, felt
that to leave Z with his bid was to
leave him with such an easy contract
that he would be .free to take all
sorts of finesses and likely pull off
an otherwise Impossible game. To
force him would be to make him
buckle down and work, and possibly
to keep him from game.
A certainly had no suit bid, yet
while too. weak for a two no-trump
bid, the hand contained sufficient
general strength as to render it un
likely her partner would be able to
bid. Not wishing, therefore, to con
cede Z his bid of one. A concluded
to double the one-trick no trump and
so force her partner to bid. As she
had three cards of two suits and four
of the two remaining suits, she knew
they would have the majority of
trumps, no matter what suit her
partner might be forced to bid and
that while, to be sure, they might
make their contract, at least they
might prevent the adversary from
being the declarant and likely going
game. A, therefore, doubled. Y passed,
and B had the choice of one of two
thingB a bid of "two clubs" on four
to an honor, or a bid of "two no
trumps" on a split hand with two
suits protected and the knowledge
of his partner's strength.
Clubs would seem to De tber better
bid, for while it might not insure
as high a score as tbe no-trump bid,
on the other hand the no-trump bid,
especially if the original declarant
had real strength, might hopelessly
fall, and after all it was not so much
the hope or Intent of the doubling
side to make much of a score as to
prevent the adversary from playing
the hand and likely going game.
Played at clubs, the side- falls
down by two 'tricks and so Incurs a
penalty of 100 plus honors, or 112.
Should B elect to bid "two no
trumps," which. In view of his very
weak hand and the knowledge that
he sat on the wrong side of the
strong adversary, he would hardly
be warranted in doing, he would win
but five tricks, so Z-Y would score
penalties to the value of 150' undou
bted, or 300 were Z to double.
Should A Instead of doubling Z's
one no-trump bid and thus forcing
his partner to bid himself bid "two"
no trumps," the side would lose Just
the number of tricks it would lose
were B to bid "two no trumps," or
eight, and again Z-Y would score
penalties to the value of 150. Though
ln such case the lead would come
differently and a different hand
would be exposed, there would be no
difference in results
All the above Is based on the in
ference that Z refuses to overcall the
adversaries' bid, be it made by A or B.
In the event of B's doubling "two
clubs," Z with but a singleton .club,
and no assurance that he could de
feat the 'bid, would be very apt to
bid "two diamonds" (to continue no.
trumps would be entirely out of the
question), and should he do so and
play the hand at this bid he will
score three by cards, or 21, plus sim
ple honors a total of 35..
The last thing to consider In the
hand is that A and the two remain
ing players pass and Z plays at his
one-trick no-trump bid. In such case
Z makes four by cards, or game and
rubber, a total score of 290 40 for
tricks and 150 for rubber It un
doubtedly paid A-B, therefore, to bid
rather than quietly to concede game
and rubber, and since their loss was
smaller at B's bid of "two clubs" ln
response to A's double than at A's
bid of "two no trumps," the double
proved decidedly the better policy.
Conformably to the luck which had
attended Z-Y throughout, they were
marked to win on the hand. The
least they can win is at Z's declara
tion of diamonds after the adversa
ries have forced the shift. This
brings them a s.core of 35. If Z Is
left to play' the declaration at no
trumps, he scores 290, and if he plays
against the adversaries' bid he scores
112, 150 or 300, according to what is
bid, and If it be "two no trumps"
whether or not he doubles.
Here is a case which in no sense
Justifies the double and the player
who doubled would have been in
finitely better off had he refrained
from doing eo:

dealt and bid no trumps. A
wrongfully doubled. His hand lacked
the strength for the double, and it
was the first deal on the first game.
It was not therefore a critical score,
as in the case Just above given. How
ever, Y passed, and Y bid "2 hearts."
This enabled Z to bid diamonds, and
there being no further bidding, at
diamonds ZY made five by cards, or
a total score of 195, 35 for tricks, and
35 for honors and an additional 125,
which Is the conceded value of a
game other than the rubber game.
Had Z refrained from doubling, no
one else would have bid, and Z would
have played the hand at one no trump
and made two by cards only, making
a total score of 50, 20 for tricks and
80 for honors.
A would have led his four-card
heart suit, Z of course would have
held up the 'command until the third
round, but A later would recover the
lead with the ace of clubs and make
two remaining hearts, in all five
tricks. This double then cost AB 145
points in spite of the fact that B had
a much better suit with which to re
spond to the double than A could rea
sonably expect, and of the further
fact that between them they had nine
trumps. Had they been able to play
the hand at hearts, the result of
course would have been entirely dif
ferent, but B's bid which was the
effect of tbe double, put Z ln the posi
tion to shift to some other bid, as in
deed the double itself also did.

you feel you can afford them. This
leaves the bedroom and the hall. In
the hall may be placed a wall table
or console upon which can be placed
a colorful bowl or a candle-stick or
two, preferably of .brass or wrought
Iron. Over this wall table place a
mirror. Later, if tbe hall Is large
enough, -a chair may be placed on
each side of the table, but they are
not at all necessary at first. A small
rug or a very good art linoleum, one
that would perhaps be a copy of
some old Italian br Spanish tiling,
will do for the hall floor.
"I would say that the living room
first needed a table, the kind de
pending upon the other furniture,
possibly a gate-leg, perhaps a long
refectory table in dull rubbed walnut
or Jacobean oak however, a table.
Then a fireside chair how I do hope
you will select a house with a fire
place. You will want at least two
other comfortable chairs, also. Let
them be of upholstered wickfr if
the room is an Informal one. Later,
if you wish, you can remove them
to another part of the house or porch
and replace them with something
more formal though I have a weak
ness for wicker in a living room,
ana to .my way of thinking a living
room should not be formal. Of
course, the living room in a small
house also serves as a reception
room; thus a touch, of formality is ,
sometimes not amiss. A deep, well
upholsteredi davenport, the kind one
fairly sinks into,' is, of course, the
ambition of all young householders.
If you can afford it by all means
get one, -even though you get It cov
ered only in some attractive linen
material (many are doing that now)
and then have it covered later with
'a more expensive material.' A cov
ering such as this would be especially
suitable 'for summer. Do you know,
my dear, yon are fortunate that you
are being married in June instead
of the fall, for it is much less ex
pensive to furnish for summer and
the trousseau is also less costly.
" "Consider your rugs the last of
the essentials, though, of course,
most of your floors will need them
before fall. You could get a stun
ning and a cool effect ln your guest
bedroom if-you wanted to cover the
door with black and white checkered
art linoleum think what a foil it
would be for the painted furniture.
A plain chenille rug would be suit
able for the living room. Its color
would depend upon the room's gen
eral color scheme but taupe chenille
Is a wonderful floor covering for al
most any scheme. Rag rugs could
first serve for bedroom use until
more expensive rugs could be af
forded. They are pretty and in good
taste. Small runners could be used
in the dining room until fall.
"Lastly, my dear, my advice is to
get furnishings of good materials
with rather plain lines, lines which
will not tire you and which will not
be nerve-racking to dust. Things
like this, you know," and here Eliza
beth Ann took out the photograph
of a chubby little gateleg reading
table and two sturdy, comfy chairs

denly-
"Mercy yes, a thing of paramount
importance is a cheerful lamp, a
lamp that pronounces you at once

taste it's the lamp gives the house
furnisher away first thing. There,
one like that ln the photograph, my
dear, the shade made of lovely yel
low silk, and the base a beautiful
Chinese jar, would be Just the thing.
I believe in being extravagant where
lamps are concerned. Now all that
sounds rather attractive, doesn't it?"

Linoleum Invades the Living

LINOLEUM cornea in such delight
ful patterns now that many peo
ple are covering the bungalow floors
with it, avoiding the necessity of
staining and caring for wooden
floors, and the expense of hardwood
flooring. For halls and living room
there are linoleums in hardwood pat
terns; for the kitchen cool blue-and-whlte
or green-and-whlte checked
designs, and for bedrooms all sorts
of really charming rug patterns.
Green and grays are the coolest
colors and make an excellent back
ground for small rag rugs that match
the, cretonnes of the bedrooms. Even
the floor of the enclosed porch may
be covered with linoleum and such
a floor will be much easier to keep
clean than a painted board floor.
All one needs is a damp mop. The
dripping of wet bathing suits, milk
overturned by children and other
things that would Injure painted
floors or rugs fall to harm the lin-
oleum floor at all and may be wiped
away In a minute.
Linoleum lies best over felt but
the felt is not absolutely necessary.
The edges should be cemented, not
tacked, to prevent moisture getting
under the linoleum and before the
cement Is applied an iron roller or
some heavy weight should be used
to get out all air bells which might
afterward cause a bulge in the floor
surface.
