President Coolldge was urged today by Senator Cameron of Arizona to recommend In his message to congress passage of a bill which would permit cattle men in western states' to lease public lands for grazing purposes for a perlotl of nt least ten years. Under existing conditions, tho president was told, cattle raisers tiro permitted to use the public domain from yonr to year but have no assurance that they will be awarded the same urea in suc ceeding years anil therefore havu not been able to lenco the lands mid to put down water wells. Iho historic, rivalry between sheep raisers and cuttle men of the west, said Cameron, has pusscd to such nn extent that sheep men have Joined with tho cattle men In an effort to have grazing legislation enacted. The Semite public hinds committee of which Cameron Is n member, plans lo present a bill nt the next session providing Tor a toii-year lease. Regu lations coverina: grazing permits are being drawn by the forestry service, ho said, pointing nut that stock men would prefer that tho fee system bo based on the area of grazing land used Instead of basing churges on the number of ctittlo grazed, which Is fa vored by the forestry service.

This certainly Beemed to fa yor tho belief that the practice may oe worm while, at least against In fluenza when that disease is epidemic in the community. The reason why antiseptic medica ments cannot be expected to benefit or cure coryza' is plain enough. No such agent as yet discovered will de stroy or retard the growth of germs which have Invaded the mucous mem brane without at the same time de stroying or damaging the mucous membrane so much us to interfere with the natural healing power. The organic silver salts referred to per haps do less mischief 'to the mucous membrane than other antiseptics, and when applied with good judgment '.these preparations may have some I curative action. curative action. In the normal nose the natural mucus secreted constantly by the lin ing membrane serves well the purpose of entangHng stray germs which find their way into the nasal cavity, and there 1s good reason to believe that this mucus also possesses sufficient germicidal power to destroy most germs which do Invade the breathing passages.

One of the pointa emphasized waa that if the original no-trump bidder didn't like the take-out, he Bhould bid two no trump. Since that time the writer has received evveral inquiries as to the type of hand that would justify a two no trump bid over a take-out of one no trump by partner with a bid of two hearts or two spades. The easiest way to answer that question is by asking one. Suppose your partner bid one spade and second hand passed, with what kind of hand, would you bid one no trump? 'Answer that question correctly and you will know when to bid two no trump over partner's take-out of two' hearts or two spades. The object of all correct bidding is to arrive at the best bid of the combined hands; that is, the best bid of twenty-six cards, not of thir teen. For example, suppose your part ner bid one spade, second hand passed and you held the following cards: Hearts A, Q, 4 Clubs K, J, 10, 7 Diamonds Q, J, 7, 2 Spades 6, 3 The correct bid is undoubtedly one no trump. Why? Kectusc exjienence has shown that when your partner bids a suit and you have less than three cards of that suit, you wjll have a better chance for game at some other suit or no-trump. This is one of the steps in the process of finding out the best bid of the combined hands, if you don't deny help for partner's suit bid, how can you tell him the kind of hand that you have. Learn to 'ir.irror" your hand to your partner, that is, tell him plainly and clearly by your bidding just what kind of hand you have. For that reason, sup pose you bid one no-trump with the following hand: Hearts A, 'O, 4 Clubs -T- K, J, 10, 7 diamonds 0, J, 7, 2 Spades 6, 3 Second hand passes, your partner bids two spades and fourth hand pastes. Don't you think you ought to bid two no-trump tor exactly the same reason that Vou would bid one no-trump with that hand over a one spade bid by part ner? The principles are exactly the same in each instance. In the following hands, there is no score, you are the dealer and have bid one no-trump. Second hand has passed, your partner has bid two spades and fourth hand has parsed. What would you now bid? Hearts 10, 6, S Clubs 9,2 Diamonds Q, 10, 7 Spades 10,9, 8, 5,2 :A . Hearts A. Q,9, 4, 2 Clubs J, 7 Diamonds A, K, J, 4 Spades 7,3 There is no score, rubber game. Z dealt and bid one heart. A and Y passed and B bid two clubs. Z bid two nearts and all passed.

The following hand !s an excelled example of good play, so study it care fully.

Diamonds K, 8, 7 Spades A, K, 10 , , No score, first game. Z dealt, bid one no-trump and all passed. A opened the four of spades. Y played a low spade, B the jack and Z won the trick with the ace. How should he plan the play of the combined hand? Z must lead the deuce of clubs from' his hand and play the queen from dummy. If this card forced the ace, he can finesse against the jack on the next round. A good player, how ever, would not play his ace on the first round, so, in that case, Z is up against a difficult problem. He must set his club suit at once before the queen of diamonds, his only possible reentry card, is taken out of dummy. For that reason, Z must make one of two plays: (a) he can lead a low club, hoping that the ace is now single or (b) he can lead the king of clubs, hoping that the jack is single. Either play is a guess hut one or the other must be made for the only hope for game is to set up the clubs. As a matter of fact, the king of clubs would have been the correct play at trick three for B originally held the jack and four of clubs. The following hand was played re cently in Detroit and forwarded to the writer as an excellent example of the "squeeze," that is, the forcing of one hand to discard winning cards. ..
