months ago another war in Europe was regarded as certain.
Tlieii suddenly and unexpectedly the entire spirit of Kurope
seemed to ehaiifje. Almost overnight, sanity returned. The trans
formation was particularly noticeable in Germany and France.
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.

RETIRED FARMERS
T0 Hay Center eatue tho grangers, from the farms they
- lung have tilled, from the stacks and cribs and mangers,
and with peace their hearts are filled. They have labored
like the dickens, Marling in the early morn; now farewell to
hogs and chickens, and goodbye to shucking earn. All the
weary chores are ended, other men must sow and reap, and it
surely will bo splendid just to rest and eat atiil sleep. 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. There is bootjess talk of lynching, there is
scrapping and repeat, and the cops arc busy pinching men
whoso critters roam tb street. 8o the scrap 'goes on. forever
in a dozen towns I know, and in vain is all endeavor to relieve
the reign of woe. For the farmers won't quit farming, and
the citizens deduce that their village can't be charming while

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

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. The writer's
