PUBLIC LANDS !S
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21. (A. P.)
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.

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. At any rate, it would seem
unwise to resort to any artificial 'sub

Niw Series by WYWRGUSON
cAuthor of Ferguson on
CwpyniiUt ivi5 by Woyle, Jr.
In a recent article an analysis was
made of the take-out of partner'! no
trump when second hand had passed.
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. A opened the nine of
clubs and B won the first two tricks
with the king and queen. He then led

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. ..
