If discards a spade ruffa the heart and leads a spado, upon which puts the ace, mo aa to shut out the Jack.

Upon Z's lead of the remaining spade through A the Jack of trumps Is forced, because If A plays the nine both the ten and th ace of trumps are good In Y's hand at once. lets A hold the trtck with the Jack of trumps, so as to remain tcnaco over him with the ten and ace. when A Is forced to lead away from the queen and nine, having discarded his lust OBM solvers ilo not pass the heart trick, but make ruff with the six and lead a spade ui a diamond through A.

It la not half as good a problem as one of the clnss originated by Tiik Bun. which simply asks the solver to any what he would do next If he were pla fug the game across the lionrd.

Three men got this one right. More than thirty do not sen the mate. Several letters those who are apparently beglnnera at the game of checkers express their appreciation of the situations In which a white msn waa at the mercy of a block king, or two white men were being chased and only one could escape, yet while retains his advantage and wins. Such situations certainly arts in many a gnm and the tactica bv which while can escape are well worth studying. Here Is another of these positions: probi.km no 246 eMHMM By O.

While this problem belonKS to the class that is suppos.sl to be Indeterminate, because there may be various solutions, giv ing different figures, but prcaerviua w.e same proportions, in this case there was a distinct limit set by one of the con- ditlons. and that was the fact that the oriirliial stock of bananas was all on one bunch, and a bunch of bananas hss Its 'Th proposition was that a llttl" Italian bog sold a hunch of bananas at the rate of three for a nickel the first day. and four for a nickel the second day. and ftnallv closed out his stock at thirteen for nickel, treating himself to a banana time h. made a sale ana Keeping pace with the progress of any partnership game that is In the intellectual class, there Is always the tendency to meet Its difficulties by the Introduction of certain conventions, and the advent of the nullo bid In auction wjll undoubtedly bring forward a numlier of suggestions similar to those In the high spade bids and other artifices to simplify tha game.

Whether any of thee will find a permanent place In the tactic of th gam time and experience atone ran decide. One of the first to come to the notice of the writer la what "Cavendish'' would have called an extension of principle, although "Pembrldgc" Insisted that prin ciples were Incapable of extension. If two-trick bids In suit are to show length and weakness In the named suit and to suggest a nullo. why would It not be a good thing to have a three trick hid to show length and weakness In another suit of higher value? Wc used to bid one trick on a pretty strong suit In the old game and If we had something extra wc would put on another trick by way o- emphasis, bidding two. Any player with four clubs to the ace king and a trick outaldc would bid a club.

If he had seven clulw to the a to king queen he would atari out with two clubs. While It Is true that the opportunity for such bids does not arise very often, the i same thing Is true of any system that Is designed to cover hands which are out of the ordinary. Special conventions are made to meet special occasions und the question to be settled Is, do they meet the case sufficiently to he admitted as a part of the tactics of the game? The theory of the three trick bid In suit, when nullos are part of the game. Is this If the play has a Is long and weak enough to be part of a nullo he now bids two tricks in It If he has another suit of the same character he bids three tricks. Instead of two.

on the weaker sulL Here are a few examples from an evening's play 91 a 8 8 4 4 I 10 I I from the ace from and a small I trump from Z. At this point. Instead of leading trumps, which would probably be 1 the play with nine person out of ten, I 14 a spade, mid as A did not put on the ace took a trick with the king and Jed the trump. Not knowing whether the queen was a false curd with the Jack behind It or not, led a third round, dummy discarding a heart and a spade. Wishing to keep his stopper In the spade snlt.

led another heart, which 7. trumped, pulled B's last trump and made his five clubs, losing the last Irlck to the ace of spades, but making his controct. The student of tactics will find that if 7, leads trumps before making his spade trick, he will fall to go game. A i third round of trumps would put In nnd the force In the heart suit would fol- lour. Now must trump and pul! the trUmp.

It ts then Impossible to lead any-thing but the clubs, as the spade would let In the whole heart stilt, so that wouhl be left with two spudea at the end, and A would make the last two tricks with the spade ace and heart king. Although Z's Initial bid Invites the nullo. It will be evident, without pUylnu the cards, that such a contract would disastrous for the combined hands even If led his singleton and was to hold the trick, because must win two hearta and throe spades sooner or later and he Will be lucky If he. can win these before he exhausts the club suit, so that he can put A In with the seven of clubs otherwise be may win nine tricks on the hand. Here Is an example of three tricks bid on a two suiter, which was allowed to stand the moment the partner turned It Into three nullos.

Observe that It Is never necessary to hid more than three r.uilos to ovi rcull one of these three trick bids, as the weaker suit must be lone, than hearts. If the suits ire hearts snd spades. Anr spades is i convention, 8 tW i fit I 0 1 0 aaoOKLTN AnVKRTIftKMBNTS. BROOKLYN AnVRRTIHKNKNTS. BROOM.

Dummy played: the four and A won the first round with I the Jack, returning the seven, upon Which the king and go fell. went on with the deuce of hearts and got his lub discard. A did not like to lead his singleton spade, as that was dummy's safe suit, so, I he tried tne nigu diamond. playing the i queen, the Jack and dummy the ace.

The return of tho trey of diamonds tempted A to put on the eight, so as to keep the five, snd won the trick with th king and led the trey of clubs a a last resort. A ducked the club and won It with the 1 nine, leading the Interior spade seven. This took with the ace. leading the queen and ten. so as to clear up the suit and then put his partner In, hoping had a high diamond left.

A did the best he could, keeping the dla-Blond for a reentry so as to lead the club. but unfortunately for his scheme got down to the six and deuce, so that could underplay A's ten ami four, avoiding the necessity of winning another trick and go- ing game uii the hand. Hero Is a case in which the Invitation to bid a nullo wo refused by the partner I hut accepted by tha opponent, which Is not such an Infrequent occurrence as one might Imagine In playing nullos. A nullo bid will often be overcalled by a higher nulla 1 bid. and the one that gets th" play will win out.

When you purchase a particular piano think of the pleasure added to its use if you know positively that you haven't made a mistake. A thorough investigation of the Sterling Instruments, the Sterling methods of doing business and the Sterling service never fails to give a self-confidence in your purchase that absolutely silences the unthinking and unknowing critic. There is always a tremendous risk in buying a cheap piano of unknown make and name.

Such a piano is nothing but a mechanical product and falls down with the test of time. Age ripens, sweetens and benefits a good piano, while age decays and kills the usefulness of the other. Mechanical facility alone cannot make an artistic piano any more than it can make a great violin. The plan qf a reputable piano, in other words, its scale, needs the brains of a genius to invent its distinctive arrangement. This distinctive arrangement is as subtle as love and gives the instrument an individuality and character which in a reputable piano is not only known and felt by the musician, but is beyond the power of mere mechanical imitation.

Sterling Instruments have been before the public for more than half a century. Their' high, reputation in the musical world has a standing that cannot be disputed. Their cherished place in thousands of homes is as secure and lasting as music itself. These instruments anyone can buy with absolute self-confidence. You cannot pay less and get as much.

You cannot pay more and get better. BROOKLYN'S BEST KNOWN PIANO HOUSE i9 enten by Botes nOe. even, so that he wise in passing the J1.4"i 13b bananas Did or tnree nuiios. from: TM oegmner may winia mai i rami i erred solutions a.im,, II 'o l. lt lr" 0 It BOtton, W.

In addition to the usual magic square there are number of Interesting problems connected with what are Called diagonals, or nasbk Square. There aie squares In which the cells are be add sd in all the diagonals as well us from corner to corner.

In the ordinary magic square the two extreme diagonals only aie added, and each row horliontnlly anil vertically. In the I aslck squara not only each row and each diagonal adds the same, but each of the broken diagonals also. Beginning at any edge of th square with any celt we add upward to the right, and upon reaching tha edge of the square start again at th bottom of the vertical column to the right. The following diagram will glv an Idea of tho manner of adding the broken dlag- "7" 4 mmmm 4 of the square, we must drop to the bottom of the next line at once and follow the line of cells marked until we get all live to complete a diagonal. If we start lower down, as at we must follow the line of cells marked until we get five of them to complete that diagonal.

Tho problem before us Is to construct a naslck square In which each row horizontally, vertically and In every diagonal! whether we go from left to right as In the diagram, or right to left, shall show a constant total. There are to be twenty-five cells In the square and the numbers used are all to be prim numbers and each different from the other.

opened with the short heart suit, leading king and then six. dropped the queen under the king, won the second round with the ace and led the trey, putting A in with the five, discarding the nee of spades A led his short spade suit, upon which played the king and at once led the queen. Then he kilted the whole suit by leading the deuce and throwing into the lead again, dummy discarding the quern of diamonds. Judging from the discard of the queen that waa probably safe In diamonds. It tried the clubs, leading the Interior eight.

ducked with the four and A played the queen, returning the Interior seven, although It was clear that had no more. let go a diamond, aa the apado suit was dead, and headed th club trick with the Jack. saw that If he played low on the club he might have to win every other trick, but dummy was on th watch to avoid the same damter und took the trick away from him with the ace, leading the deuce, which put A In again with the six. After that, A and hod to win all the rest of the tricks, as held the dia monds safe against any attack. It may be Interesting to the student of nullo tactic to observe that if had kept the ace of spades and discarded a club Instead he could have set the con tract by being able to win the first round of spades and lead a diamond before got that discard.

After that, must still win a club trick and two apades. Here Is a deal In which an opening three trick bid led to some interesting developments through the partner's efforts to get away from tho nullos. a A i t' 0 8 rn il Til 4 4 10 7 6 1 4 4 I 3 A 10 8 7 ld a 49 1 9 I t)tiu 1 10 dealt and bid three club, haying two suit aafe, of which th club waa th cheaper. A took a chance and bid three hearta. and also took a chance on tha diamond and went three no trump.

He knows that haa two long weak aulta, on of which la clubs, but tha other may be either diamond or royals. It cannot be hearta, aa A haa that suit said four hearta, which waa rather a bold bid to make agatnat thre no trumps, seeing his Invitation to a nullo was not acceptable to his partner, showed his second ault by bidding five diamonds. Instead of Increasing th no trump contract. Aa aaw that enough to go gam If th contract mad good ho paaaed. This ahowa good Judgment baoaua If haa a nullo bid and A haa hearts, sup ported by B.

It la very Improbable that has any reentry and also unlikely that his diamonds are solid, so If can lead the suit but once may have a vary poor hand to help out a no trumper t)u his diamond contract had a tight aquoese, but he got away with It. A led th fourth beat hart, bringing th Jack 10 Milt 5 10 9 6 8 48 rill a 4 I 10 4 0 10 an 7. dealt and bid two oluba, Which w-as not a vary good hid on his cards, a ho is not safe in clubs. Any long uli with out the deuce Is a dangerous proposition. 'specially whan there are no hi'h cards on the side to control the lead, srt is to I xhuust your long suit In the hands of the opponent before thev got ready to; lead vlcueo and put vou in for keeps.

A hid two heat ts and went two 110 trumps, as he could not stand a nullo. Now, If tries to show his two suiter by bidding three tricks, his partner will not understand him, as those bids are confined to the denier, so has to name the contract on Ills own responsibility and 1 bid nullos. As dealer would have hid three clubs. 7, assisted his partner's no trumper. that he had strength as well aa ength In the club suit, and A dropped the hearts, which be knew must have safely stopped, and hid four nullos at eight a trick.

Tills 7. douhled led the single on diamond and won the trick with the ace, returning the eight of clubs. It put on the queen and took In dummy's jack. playing tiie ten. This girve Ins chance, and he jumped at tt, but in his anxiety he threw away a trick.

By leadinx the ten of hearta, winning It with the ace and leadlmr the Una of hearts, got a discard of the spade ace. Then a smull heart threw the lead to Y. letting 7. get rid of a spade, while II dis carded the ten of diamonds. tried lo shake the lead by playing the Interior nine of but put on the ten, as he saw dummy could duck the eight, and after that It was impossible to force A or to win a trick, so that made his contract at double value.

The student will see that should have won onother trloK on tnis nand, as tnere was no need to take In two hearts, t'pon wining the club trick with the queen and putting dummy In with the heart there was no necessity to lead a high heart for the second round, as tho small one would have given the dbicard of spade ace and the second discard of the ten of dia monds not necessary, as A and have, nine of that suit between tile two hands and the king eight are the only diamonds against them after one round has been played. should not have allowed ft to hold that club trick. If he had overtaken B's queen with the ace and led the spade would havo been forced to win that trick or the next with the ace. Then the heart play muat follow, but even If wins with tha ace and leads small for the second round the diamond discard does him no good, because If ho Is left with four clubs can make him win two tricks with them by leading the four unless Is awake and shifts to Uie diamond. Anticipating this, might not play the clubs that way, but would perhaps lead two winning clubs to give his partner two diamond discards and then put ln with a club, but that would get down to two eluba and he could throw the lead with his last club.

This ahowa the Importance of having the deuce of your long suit. If could see through the scheme 7. might even try leading three rounds of club to give three spade discards, ths queen, nine, eight. huvlng led the six. Now If A lias not neen careiui iu uiscara Ills spales can put him 111 with the trey Waa puts back with tha club When buying a Victor or Victrola, think of the service as well as the price.
