If A passed, should bid? There was a serious difference of opinion as to whether should pass one heart or show his diamond suit, and the argument was referred to the writer for decision. My answer was as follows: "There $re two reasons why I advocate a bid of two diamonds: First, because of the two-suit character of your hand. If the two diamond bid is overcalled, you should then show the club suit and thus give your the choice. A tvM-suit hand, if played at the best bid for the combined hands of and partner, is the strongest hand hat can be held, and is usually worth from one to three tricks more usual suit bid. Under these conditions, in bidding two diamonds, you are not decreasing your chances for 'game by the bid of the minor suit, but are really increasing the i "Second, there are so many four-card original suits bid these days that it is seldom advisable to leave partner in if j-ou hold only two trumps, even if one is the ace.

This, of course, is optional in the usual hand, but with a two-suit holding such as you held, I would regard the two diamond bid as obligatory." Example Hand No. 2 "Hearts 7, 6,3, 2 Clubs 6 Diamonds 7 A score, first game. If dealt and bid one club, what should A bid? A nywer: A's proper bid is one heart. Then if- overbid, he should bid two spades. Bid in this way, A indicates to iis partner that his heart suit is the setter, either in top cards or in length.

Such a bid is purely defensive and partner should not expect much Example Hand No. 3 A Hearts--none Clubs --A, Q. 9, 7, 6, 4 Diamonds 7 Spades 10, 8, 6, 2 Score, Y-Z 10, A-B 10, rubber game. 2 dealt and bid one club, A bid three diamonds, bid four clubs and bid four- hearts. Should bid five clubs or show his spade suit? Answer: "In this situation, where his partner has assisted his club it be tad practice to bid four spades.

Such a bid gives more valuable information to the opponents than to partner. It tells them that has a two- suit hand, one of the strongest types oJ hands that can be held, and that his chances of making game, either in clubs or spades, is much better than if clubs alone had been bid. For that reason they are more apt to bid five hearts after has shown two suits than if he had shown only one. The sound practice therefore would be for to bid five clubs over four hearts rather than four spades." STATE HAS OPENED A NATURAL A OF I PINES Grove in Ogle County Said to Be Remaining Tract South of Canada Illinois' newest public park, the famous White Pine forest in Ogle, county, thrown open to the public for the first time this summer, gives promise of proving one of the most popular of the state parks. Word from Oregon is to the effect that already thousands of tour-, ists have visited this beautiful section, in which is believed to be the last white pine grove surviving i the middle west.

Acquisition of the tract which embraces approximately 600 acres, recently authorized by the state legislature under special request of Governor Small, follow ed an agita-, tion of more than thirty years on the part of conservationists, were desirous of havinjr this forest' come into the possession of the state, thus insuring its preservation. The region, now reclaimed for all time, represents the southern-most extension of the white pine along the northern tier of states. The grove is the last remaining of any size south of the Canadian line. Clearing of the timberland for asri- culture, and destruction from forest fires, combined almost completely wipe out the white pine. One of the picturesque features I of the White Pine is i Problem No.

All-Kiwanis Golfers to Hold Tournament at Glen Eagles Club Twelve trophies and 150 additional individual prizes will be awarded the field of 500 golfers which is expected to turn out for the fourth annual All-Chicago Kiwanis golf tournament next Wednesday at the Glen Eagles course, 123rd st. and Bell rd. Seven team events and two individual contests are on the program for the day, and in addition a trophy win be presented to the club which has the largest attendance, and another to the club which turns out the highest percentage of its members. An entry of at least 500 is assured by Howard T. Webb, general chairman, who places this estimate on the number of advance entries already received.

The quota from this section will be made up by Englewood with 30 members, Garfield Boulevard, 20; Hyde Park, 30, and Woodlawn, 50. The four-man and eight-man team events were won last year by the Woodlawn club. Babies Should Not Be Allowed to Get Children's Diseases The mistaken idea that it is best for a baby to get measles, whooping cough and similar diseases and "have it over with" has been responsible for the needless death of many babies, declares Health Commissioner Arnold H. Kegel in his advice to mothers of ten month old babies, issued this week in the bulletin of the health department. "These diseases are much harder on young babies than older children," warns the commissioner.

"The older a child is before contracting a contagious disease the less likely he is to die, and nowadays there is a good chance that he will escape them altogether if he is reasonably well protected from anyone who coughs, or has a running nose, inflamed sore throat or rash on the skin. "According to records for 1926, there were 3,514 cases of measles in children under the age of six years, with 50 deaths. Scarlet fever caused 1 40 deaths of young children, diphtheria 150 and whooping cough 70, Smiles "Your husband wears his hair so short; He doesn't support much fuzz." i he prefers his hair that The coward, he really does."

Creek, the name of which indicates the region, and which is about twenty-five miles in length. It finds its way by many windings between high, mossy, fern, and vine covered walls of rock, through the cool depths of the forest, on to Rock river, near its curious bend at Tour The Burlington railway company in constructing a road from Chicago to St. Paul in 1885 crossed this waterway and went through a scattering stand of the white pine trees, leaving however, the first of them untouched. The railroad now forms the boundary of the north edge of the forest. On the east the highway terminates the pine area, this road extending from Mount Morris, five miles to the north.

The south boundary is marked by another highway connecting Polo and Oregon. Lentil recent years the highways ran through well timbered areas of hardwood trees of various species. Where the pines are gone along the creek and the land has been left undisturbed, the broadleaf trees, such as oak and hickory, are still to be found. It is believed, tnese trees always have been found among the pines. In addition to the trees in the forest there is a great variety of blooming plants, vines and shrubs dear to the hearts of nature lovers, botanists and others who enjoy the woodland.

The pines, however, are the leading attraction. Their maximum height is ninety feet and the largest diameter, breast high, is thirty inches. It is believed that a few years of good management and care, such as now can be expected with state ownership, will make this grove a beautiful spot and a fine object lesson in forest preservation and rehabilitation. Steps are now being taken to improve the roads through the for- est so that the picturesque will be available to motorists. Judicious improvements will be without destroying any of the natural beauty and yet will promote thjB comfort and enjoyment of the tourists.
