Just what brought this about is not easy to determine. Some observers diagnose it as a common fear of Bolshevism. Others point to threatened bankruptcy in France, and u change of leader ship in Germany, l'robably it would be nearer the truth to say that all these factors were influential, but the main cause was a natural dying-down of the combative spirit and a normal return to tho basic instinct of self-preservation. nfi.ijtp.. i. . . ... mint: uai jiir-reaciiing importance 01 tills agreement lit IjO- '" OI pneumonia, but tho ladies of carno cannot be questioned, nor its beneficent effects denied, one j .LmToldhrn "m"?

For three or maybe seven life in town seems good and sweet, it is'liko a dream of heaven lounging on the village street, with no rusty windmills speaking, with no twisted logs to hew, with no hungry swine a shrieking for refreshments overdue. Then it seems there's something lacking, and the honest grangers long for the good old barnyiyd clacking, for the roosters crowing strong.. Oh, they long to curry horses, and to milk the brindled cows, they are learning what remorse is, gloom is thick upon their brows. So they bring'some hens and cattle and some sheep and pigs to town, and the. neighbors armed for battle, rise to put such doings down.

AT ARTICLE No. 9' CLASSICAL I li SCHOOL I II " : ' j1 Timely Views on World Topics Everjr club and every private circle vi ouLi.uii piaycrs nave one or more members who believe in uiing the pre emptive or shut out bid in practically every hand. Such tactics are very showy when they succeed but as a rule they are losers. The other night a young player from one of the Universities was asked to play at one of the well-known New York card clubs. He had a very pleasant personality but his methods of bidding were a little too rash to suit his fellow players. He was one of those preemptive bidders who seem to think that a bid of "one" is old-fashioned and out of date. He started off the first rub ber as dealer and promptly bid "two no-trump," winning the first game. On the next dealj the first three players passed and he bid four spades and won the game and rubber. 1 his was pretty speedy but when he bid "two no-trump, on the first1 game of the next rubber and made three odd, the other players began to look dazed. His luck was too good to last, however, so when he bid three spades on the tallowing band Hearts 4. 3 Clubs A, 7, 2 Diamonds A. 6 Spades J, 10, 7, 6,4, 1 he was doubled and lost 51S points. The other players thought this would make hira less cocky but on the very next hand, he again bid "two no-trump, with the following hand: Hearts A, K, 8 Clubs A, K. 10,4 Diamonds A, K, 7, 4 Spades A, K The next -player bid three spades and our college boy thought that he had a chance to get back his loss of SOO points so promptly doubled. Much to his amazement and chagrin, hia opponent made the three spades doubled. He had a freak hand, of course, but the college boy made his task easy for him by mak ing the preemptive bid of two no-trump. The opponent's hand was as follows:' UWu-CJ, 10,9,7 . . Clubs non , , i ,. ., Diamonds none Spades Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 6", S.T The opponent would probably have bid J four or more spades with thia hand if ' the college boy had bid his hand up gradually Instead of starting in with "two no-trump" and then "double." Take your bidding gradually and don't make preemptive bids unless you have some very good reason for doing so. The preemptive bid is very useful, at times but unless used with great dis cretion is apt to prove a boomerang, as I in the cases cited; - i Several weeks ago, the following hand was submitted to the writer for comment: Hearts K, Q, , 3 i Clubs A, K, 6, 4, 2 I Diamonds A, K, 9, 2 Spades none : Y j :A B : : Z Rubber game, no score. Z dealt and bid one heart, A two spades and Y doubled. What should B now do? Should B pass, bid two no-trump or three clubsr At thata time the writer said: "In the opinion of the writer he should pass and trust to his high cards to enable his partner to make his bid. A's bid of two spades over one heart should indicate that his hand is good at spades and nothing more. B'a hand has no spades but fine side cards. If A makes his bid, he will score game and rubber and he certainly haa a good chance to do so; The two no-trump bid seems bad be cause of A's bid of two spades, which if sound, should indicate spades and little else. For that reason, how can B play two no-trumps if he cannot make up A's spade suit and A's hand cannot help B in his three suits. The three club bid is sound but doesn't offer a chance for game. 'Pass' seems by far the prefer able thing to do." Since writing that opinion, the writer has obtained the actual hands of all four players. They were as follows: 9, 7, 2 Hearta 5 Clubs 10, 7,5 Diamonds 8, 7 Spadei A, Q, 10, 9, 8, 6, 4 Heart Clubs t Diamonds Q, J, Spades K, J, 7, 10 5, 3, 2 Y Z Hearts K, Q, 6,3 Clubs A. K76. 4. 2 Diamonds A, K, 9, 2 Spades none Hearts A, J, 10, 8,4 Clubs Q, J, 9, 3 Diamonds 6, S, 4, 3 Spades none It should be Interesting for our readers to analyze the play of this hand at the three possible bids by B; viz., pass, two no-trump, and three clubs.
