M'KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League TAy|'ANY contracts are defeated by -*■ nothing more or less than care lessness on the part of the declarer. Let me again advise you to ana lyze a hand carefully from all an gles before playing to the first trick. Try to visualize what will happen if you make a certain play. Figure cut if there is a safe way for you to make your contract. If you discover that, by playing the hand in one way, you might make one or two extra tricks, but that if your plan fails you will lose your contract, elect to take the safe and sound way that will give you only your contract. Bridge is a partnership game and at no time have you the right to jeopardize your partner's interests by playing the hand in a manner that may risk a successful contract. There is no suing difficult about the following hand, but still care lessness would prevent the declarer from making a small slam. 4)7-5 ♦ A-K-Q-7-4 *£j4 NORTH -j o-2 ♦ 10-6- H m 3-2 S m ♦J-9-8- *A-J-7- 5 H 5 5-2 Dealer 9-8-6 SOUTH A-9-8-4-3 V K-J-10-9 ♦ None ?K-Q-IC-3 go The Bidding South, the dealer, when the hand was played, opened with one spade. I believe that I would prefer to pass with this hand. Let us analyze the hand in the following manner: If we bid one spade, partner’s most likely response will be two dia monds. We now will be forced to bid two hearts. This is the showing of a second suit, and is in the nature of a force. Undoubtedly, partner will rebid diamonds and now your contract is beyond the safety zone and you still have a third suit to mention—and every time you mention anew suit, partner has a right to figure that you are making an additional con structive bid. However, when the hand was played, South did open with one No. 59 THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES spade. North made a jump response of three hearts. Not only is this a demand that the bidding be kept open until a game: is reached, but it is also a slam try. South then bid four hearts. While South has control of two suits— diamonds and spades—he must be careful against duplication of val ues. After the four heart bid, North went to five diamonds. South signed off with a bid of five hearts, but North went to six hearts. The Play East’s opening lead was the king ox spades, which the declarer was forced to win in the dummy with the ace. And now you can see his predica ment. If he allows his opponents to get in, they will cash a club and a spade. He led a small heart, winning in his won hand with the queen. If the declarer had attempted to pick up the trump, his contract would have been defeated. Furthermore, he dared not lead his ace, king, and queen of dia monds in order to discard clubs from dummy. He had only once chance of mak ing his contract and that was to find four diamonds in each hand. With this one chance, he played a small diamond from his own hand and trumped in dummy with the ten of hearts. He now could lead the jack of hearts from dummy, win in his own hand with the ace of hearts, and then swing his four rounds of dia monds, discarding dummy’s four clubs. His losing club then was ruffed in dummy with the king of hearts, and all that he had to lose was one spade trick. (Com-rieht. 1933. bv NEA Sorvicp. Inc.) Back to Job School Pupils Set for Last Three Weeks of First Term. INDIANAPOLIS’ 60,000 elemen tary, junior high, and high school pupils returned to their studies Tuesday for the final three weeks’ drive before report cards are passed out for the first semes ter. Only fourteen days of study re mained before they must face stern Mr. and Mrs. Indianapolis with the card that tells the tale of the four and one-half months’ schooling. However, the dread specter of final “examinations” was not trou bling the grade pupils—because they don’t have any. Pupils are graded on their term’s work, and the tests which come from time to time. ttbgdr: adaT 6Y BRUC£ CATTON SAY what you please about the people who were born and grew right up before the age of autos, telephones, electric lights and torch singers—they at least had be longed to a well-to-do class. Frederick Van Wyck, scion of an ancient New York family, gives you . a picture of life in the old days in "Recollections of An Old New York er,- ’ and makes it all look exceed | ingly attractive. Born in New York in the early fifties, and brought up in an aris- I crate and comparatively wealthy ; society, this mam seems to have had a life that was completely en joyable. For small boys, the New York of those days offered streets that were full of adventure and free from au tomobiles. For young bucks there were diversions quite as frivolous and surprising as anything that this modem era can offer. For older folk there were sleigh races in the winter time, leisurely rural excursions by private coach in the summer, peaceful country re ! treats which lacked modern con veniences. but provided aw ealtn of ; solid comfort. Mr. Van Wyck's book is probably pretty inconsequential, and it cer tainly is rambling and diffuse; but it does get across the essence of a vanished time as it looked to a for tunate man who lived in it and found it good, and it’s rather apt ito set you wishing that you had been born before this great age of enlightenment had had its dawn. Published by Liveright, the book ! is priced at $4. 63 ’BEST' AT BEN DAVIS HIGH All Make Grades of 85 or Better for Third 6-Week Period.

Ashland Ave.i Chicago \ ; NEW DRIVE ON CHILD LABOR IS BEINGPRESSED Program Will Be Put Up to Forty-Three State Legislatures. BY MAX STERN Times StaT Writer WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.—A new drive against child labor will be lanuche-d early this year. The drive, organized at a confer ence called here by the United States children's bureau, President Green of the American Federation of Labor and others, contemplates the temporary abandonment of the plan to urge the states to ratify the federal child labor amendment and the concentration on state laws. The following program will be put to the forty-three state legislatures meeting this month: 1. The establishment by state law of a basic minimum age for employ ment of minors at 16 years. This would affect 667,000 minors, who under the 1930 census were found to be employed in gainful occupa tions. Only two states, Ohio and Montana, have set 16 as the age limit for employment. Maine, Mich igan, California, Rhode Island and Texas have set the age at 15 for factory labor. Strict Regulation Asked 2. The strict regulation by state laws of labor of minors 16 and 17 years of age. This would affect some 1,500,000 minors now employed under these ages. 3. Hours shorter for children than for adults, and in no case to exceed eight hours a day. 4. Minimum wages for all chil dren under 18, to be set by state wage commissions for the various industries. 5. Safety laws. Extra compensat tion for minors illegally employed. 6. Bureaus of women and children in state labor departments to aid in enforcement of child protective laws and educate public opinion against child labor. The above program has been adopted in lieu of the federal child i labor law ratification. The question has been raised by Attorney-General William Mitchell whether this amendment has not run too long to remain a current issue. Opinion is divided on the point. Child welfare workers fear to rely on this act alone. So far only six states have ratified. Every Job for Adult At the conference here were Prances Perkins and Joseph M. Stone, labor commissioners of New’ York and Connecticut, Courtney Dinwiddle of the national child la bor committee; Edward McGradyof the A. F. of L., and others. I All agreed that the time is ripe for a nation-wide drive to remove the last vestiges of child labor in this country. They found “a relent less pressure on labor standards” af fecting child workers as well as adults. “The agreement. was unanimous.” a report of the conference said, WINNERS IN SHORTRIDGE POSTURE CONTEST Left to Right—Maiy Alice Shively, Anna Marie Smith. Betty Mae Smith, Mary Morrison, and Doris Van Horn. “Straight as a string” are these five girls who are winners in the recent posture contest sponsored by the Shortridge high school girls’ athletic department.
