Winning Contract
By THE FOUR ACES.
(David Bruce Burnstone. Merwin D. Malrr,

Stopping Short of Game
"How should this hand be bid?”
asks D. P. Langlois of Decatur, 111.
"Several tables played it at no
trump, making only seven tricks;
and once it was played at game in
6pades—down one.”
North, dealer.
Neither side vulnerable.

A no-trump contract is illogical
because of the wide-open diamonds;
and any game contract is a rather
poor risk because of skimpy high
card strength coupled with flat dis
tribution. As it happens, a 3-3
break in hearts and clubs makes it
possible to fulfill a game at hearts,
but it isn't always necessary to bid
a game to get a good score in a
tournament. According to the ac
count given by Mr. Langlois, a top
score would have been earned for
three hearts with an over-trick.
uns Diaaing seems most reason
able:
North. East. South. West.
1 4 Pass 1 t? Pass
1 4 Pass 1 NT Pass
3 7? Pass Pass Pass
North hesitates to double-raise the
hearts with only three-card support,
but has to show his strength at some
point. At the same time he an
nounces strength in three suits, in
dicating that no-trump is unsafe
unless South can take care of the
diamonds.
South has no reason to go back
to spades since hearts ought to make
a better trump. At spades, declarer
has to ruff the third diamond; at
hearts, the ruff can be taken in
dummy: allowing South to keep
better control of the hand.

Answer—Bid two no-trump. You
have enough strength to invite a

epot.
Score 100 per cent for two no

nothing for three no-trump.

Don't Take My
Word for It
By FRANK COLBY.
Military
Adj. Of or pertaining to sol
diers.
“MILL-i-tree” and “MILL-i-tur
ree” are Briticisms and are not sanc
tioned for United States use.
Military is but one of several
ary words that are pronounced with
a bah-jove twist by certain Ameri
can speakers who apparently harbor
the nonsensical belief that there is
something odious in the standard
speech of the United States.
According to the accepted Ameri
can authorities, military, secretary,
dictionary, stationary, ordinary, etc.,
are clearly four-syllable words. The
main accent falls on the third
syllable.
Note especially that the third
tar) syllable rhymes with fair,
hair, pair.
Correct pronunciation: MILL-i
TAlR-ee.
(Capitals indicate syllables to be
accented.)

Busman's Songs Win
•Songs composed by Arthur Fraser,

UNCLE RAY'S CORNER -Life of Joan of Arc
How would Joan or Arc feel if she
were alive today? With France
under the power of foreign armies,
we may be sure her heart would be
sad. Perhaps she would find a way
to put new spirit into her fellow
countrymen.
Five centuries have rolled by since
she lived and died, but her memory
is fresh today. Many a newspaper
writer spoke of her when the city
of Orleans fell to the Germans last
month.
Joan was a country lass. Her
parents made their home in the
village of Domremy, in North
eastern France, but the family living
came mainly from farm work. When ;
she was a small child, she was given
the duty now and then of driving
sheep and cattle out to pasture.
It seems that Joan's father be
lieved she was watching livestock
when she was wandering in a wood.
While by herself, she dreamed of ]
things her parents knew nothing
about.
Stories of fairies were told to
children of Domremy. There was
a large beech tree near the village,
and beside it was a fountain. ’Twas
said that fairies gathered beneath
the tree. Joan's godmother de
{0PU^ P'6.
Joan of Arc holding a lamb.
dared that she had seen the fairies
with her own eyes.
Joan could not see any fairies at
this place, but she watched sick
people go to it to drink from the
spring. It was hoped that the water
would make them well, but so far
as she could see it brought no
change in their illness.
Joan’s secrets, however, were of
another kind. While in the woods,
and elsewhere, she thought she
heard voices of saints and angels!
It all started, as she later said,
with “a bright cloud” which ap
peared before her one day. Out of
the cloud came a voice, saying:
“You have been chosen by the
King of Heaven, and you are going
to restore the kingdom of France.
You are going to carry arms, and
you will lead an army.”
We may not believe that such a
thing ever happened, but it seemed
true to the little girl of Domremy.
