Culbertson On Contract By ELY CULBERTSON World's Champion Player and Greatest Card Analyst ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS. South was able to fulfill a very dangerous three notrump contract on the hand below by brilliantly dropping a doubleton Queen.

He was able to do so because he knew his right hand opponent and knew that player Queen in to all make probability opening needed bid a sound one. This play of the entire hand and reasoning which South to make his accurate diagnosis is recounted below. East. Dealer Neither side vulnerable 10, 7 Q8 5 KJ9 642 A 8 2 A Q64 A 10 3 2 10 4 K9632 8 53 10 953 0 9 85 AJ7 A 7 The bidding: East South West North 10 (1) Dbl. 10 2NT (2) 3NT (3) Pass Pass Pass 1-A shaded opening bid according to standards.

East used a point count to decide upon his opening bid and rigidly adhered this point count. Seemingly it added up to enough, but it was this very point count which later caused South's undoing. 2-Slightly optimistic but justifiable in view of North's free 3-An overbid. North, having bid two clubs freely, should have made the semi-sign-off bid of three clubs, giving partner the option of passing without definite additional values. West was opened properly the diamond ten, which covered by dummy's Queen, and East's King was topped by declarer's Ace.

South stopped and took stock. He had six possible club tricks if the Queen could be picked up, two certain tricks in diamonds and a potential ninth trick in either spades, hearts or diamonds. South was still not certain whether East's opening bid was legitimate or psychic. To temporize and pick up a ninth trick, South at trick 2 led out a low heart up to dummy's seven. He knew there was no combination of cards could with which the opponents run more than three in that suit immediately, with his own holding of four to the Kingnine-eight.

West, using caution, won the low heart lead with the ten and continued with another diamond. This lead gave declarer a third trick in that suit. South decided to postpone playing clubs until he found out a little more about the situation. He consequently laid down the nine of hearts. West played the Jack (a high card wasted but costing nothing) and East was forced to overtake with the Queen.

East then cleared the diamond suit. At this point the declarer was reasonably certain East's opening bid was legitimate. That player had a sure entry card in the spade Ace. South therefore knew he could not afford to try to set up another heart but had to take six club tricks immediately. He played the Ace, on which East dropped the ten, and then continued with his low club.

South went into a long huddle. He remembered that East had shown up with only a five-card diamond suit headed by the Kingnine. East also was marked with Queen high in hearts and in all probability had the Ace and Queen of spades and possibly the Jack. These cards alone would not have given East an opening bid according to that rigid player's point requirements. South knew the point count on which East woodenly judged his opening bids, and felt certain an additional Queen was needed to make the opening bid sound.

That Queen had to be in the club suit and South decided it would be ridiculous to finesse the Jack of clubs even though he knew East would have dropped ten just to deceive him with the ten and one club. The club King was played from dummy. and when the Queen dropped, South claimed three-odd. Mr. Culbertson will be very glad to answer questions on Bridge.

Roosevelt gave it as her view today that the life of a public official's wife was "far from being always a bed of roses." She unfolded to a radio audience these two fundamental rules for the families of public men: "They must make up their minds that they must enjoy what comes to them; they can not go out and choose what they will enjoy. "They must learn to plan their lives in a way which will give them some personal satisfaction and yet at all times do the things which their positions require." Her talk came at the close of a day when she had talked to a better housing conference which was said to number "more presidents of women's organizations than ever gathered before in place;" and had entertained about 700 women Democrats at tea.

Mrs. Roosevelt related some of her personal experiences while her husband was a state legislator at Albany. During an Assembly fight, she said some 30 of her husband's colleagues would come trooping into the family library at all hours of the day. "When it was getting late," she said, "I would go and get beer. and cheese and crackers from the pantry and make one of the men help me with the trays, and that would be the signal for them finally to break up and go home.

"This lasted for many weeks, and the smoke permeated the room above which happened to be the two older children's nursery, so that I had to hurriedly move the children to a room on the third floor." 47 Pupils Taken Into Honor Society Chapter at HPHS Forty-seven pupils of the Hartford Public High School, chosen for membership in the Smiley Chapter of the National Honor Society Thursday morning, were announced by Principal Clement C.

At a time when the affairs of the? world are rather unusually complicated there is one man at is affected by no doubts whatever.

That man is Mr. Frank Kent, who informs his readers that the President is a complete failure, that his experiments "without exception" are "soggy and that "the problems he promised to solve have been aggrevated, not ameliorated." This sweeping judgment naturally calls for some proof since the weight of evidence shows unmistakably that there has been a substantial recovery. Mr. Kent has selected what he calls "the only yardstick" to prove his case. It is the size of the relief roll.

"The one test of the success of the Roosevelt policies." insists, "is the size of the relief roll." This is, he says, "the acid test, and by that test he has failed." There is, he announces, "no other yardstick that catt be used. What he should have said is that there is no other yardstick he can use to prove that everything without exception is a failure. The increased size of the relief roll might, and probably does, indicate a number of different things, and unless these things are taken into account it is no yardstick at all for anyone who is looking for the truth. Some of the increase may be, and almost certainly is, due to the exhaustion of savings by those who have remained unemployed for a long time, and the unwillingness or inability of relatives, friends and private charity to support them. Thus it is perfectly possible to have more people at work and at the same time have more persons on relief.

If, for example, John Smith and Tom Brown were both unemployed in 1933 and living on their savings or with relatives, it is possible for John Smith to be back at work in 1935 and for Tom Brown to have used up his savings' or the assistance of friends and be on relief. There would thus be a gain both in employment and in the size of the relief roll. There is every reason to think that this is a part of the explanation of the paradox of increased employment along with increased relief. It is certainly only part of the explanation the demoralizexplanation. Another, part of the ing character of the existing relief system, under which, for a considcrable, number, inhibited by the the fact incentive that to a subsistence dole can be had for no work, or for two or three days' work week.

Undoubtedly the relief rolls are swollen by men who prefer the dole or a few days' work a month to private jobs requiring much longer hours and not yielding a very much greater income. There is one other factor to be taken into account. A great many persons are today on relief who two years ago were starving and homeless. The fact they are now on relief increases the size of the relief rolls. But what they add to the relief rolls does not show that the country is worse off.

It shows that the destitute are better provided for and that the country is doing its duty by them. Until Mr. Kent has made the just discount for these factors for the exhaustion of private and local relief, for the demoralization of the dole, which new work relief is designed to end. and for the better care of destitute, he ought not to use the gross figures as "the one test and the only success of the Roosevelt policies." The relief roles are not a good yardstick measure the progress of recovery. to.

relief figures are what they are because there is less employment and less national income than two years ago, but because those still unemployed are poorer, because some of the unemployed are demoralized, because there is some graft, because there is a greater sense of responsibility, because there is a diminished sense of private responsibility. That the size of the relief rolls is a great national problem is evident, so evident that the President has made it the object of his first message to Congress and of the principal measure of this session. But to treat the gross figures as "the only yardstick" by which to measure the economic progress of the nation is a statistical and logical absurdity. There is no one and only test. There is no vardstick, and if Mr.

Kent thinks he has the one yardstick to measure the progress of recovery, he has something which 110 economist, no statistician, no business man or statesman in the world found. If such a yardstick existed, it would mean that the causes of the depression had been triumphantly analyzed. For only those things can be measured which have been clearly identified. The obvious fact is that this world depression is like a complicated disease which has never been successfully diagnosed, for which only partial and uncertain remedies are known, in which it is impossible to say with assurance which of the many remedies applied are producing particular results. We know this country is better off than it was two years ago.

We know that it is far from having achieved full recovery. We have reason to think that certain measures have either YORK 05 One Way Round Trip 7:15 A. M. and every 2 hours to 1:15 P. Also 10:13 P.

What happens in the great game of politics in 1936 is too far off to seem vitally important at this moment. Two years must elapse before someone more acceptable to Mr. Kent can occupy the White House, and in those two years we can either emerge from the crisis or be plunged into a catastrophe involving the whole western world. That is the yardstick by which I measure my own criticism.

It seems to me important that Americans should pass through those two years with courage and confidence in their institutions and trust in the nation's strength. If they are to do that, they must not destroy the only man who can be President during those two years, and they must not seek to paralyze the government by confusing the duty of criticism with irreconcilable enmity and partisanship, and in the midst of the battle they must not believe they are beaten. They must, on the contrary, contribute what they can both by way of criticism and support to the man who must continue to lead the American nation through one of the most dangerous periods of its existence.

The club conducted several sales of art objects and held a dance to raise funds for the purchase.

The Board of Education added $130 to the amount in the club treasury to meet the cost of purchase and delivery, which was $500. The club started the campaign in 1932. The best drawings made by members of the club of Mildred Vernick, as the living model, were submitted by the following: Janice Kendzur, Elsie Kornbrath, Jane Griswold, Ruth Parsons, Alexander Rosoff, Edith Noble and Burton Longey. Robert M. Keeney, secretary of class of 1905, is making plans for the thirtieth reunion of that class in June.
