ARTICLE No. 5
There are still a number of auction
players who as dealer do not under
stand what to do with certain types of
hands. Most players know when to bid
no-trump or one of a suit but every now
and then they hold hands that puzzle
them. For example, suppose you dealt
and held the following band;
Hearts — A, K, J
Clubs —9, 7, 4, 3
Diamonds — A, K, Q
Spades — 8, 5, 4
What would
Diamonds

Spades — Q, J, 10, 9, 8
Should you bid one no-trump or one
spade? This is a very close hand. Per
sonally the writer prefers a spade bid
but would not criticize a no-trump.
These two hands are indicative of the
difficulty that still confronts auction
players who have not yet mastered the
proper bids of the dealer. The dealer is
in a peculiar position for he can always
give exact information. For that reason
he should strive to bid correctly. To
pass under certain circumstances is
just as bad as to bid incorrectly. Don't
pass sound bids for to do so is just as
misleading as an unsound bid. Your
partner depends on you as dealer to
give exact information both by your
bids and your passes, so strive to do so
at all times.
you bid? The only proper
bid with this hand is one no-trump and
yet the holder of this hand passed. It is
strong to justify a pass for if you
do, there is a very good chance of the
hand being passed out. It will also mis
lead partner as to strength held. Here's
another hand:

J World Radio-Telegraph Conference in Washing

An important radio gathering of
representatives from 42 nations, will
meet in Washington, D. C. next spring.
This conference will revise the régula

1 >n London in 1912, and which have
served to regulate the world's raido
traffic ever snice that date. The enor-,

An idea of the size and importance
of the coming Washington conference
may be obtained from the fact that
Congress, at its last session, appro
priated approximately $100,000.00 to
defray the convention expenses.
Radio and Esperanto
Amateur Radio fans of twenty-two
countries were represented at the last
radio conference held in Paris. Among
the many problems discussed at that
time was that of the selection of an
international language. As a result
Esperanto was chosen as the official
auxiliary language for international
code and phone communication.
For years before the development of
radio, scientists had recognized the
necessity of an international language
and had made numerous attempts to
establish such a language. With the
advent of radio broadcasting, especial

Q- — G. B. B. says:
T am planning
to use a metal pane! on the 4 tube
Browning Drake set which I am build
ing. Is it necessary on account of this
panel, to move the parts farther back
than usual ?"
Ans. —Theoretically, the parts
should be as far as possible from such
large pieces of metal, but in practice,
it seems to make little difference.
Q.—A. L. says: "The wires lead
ing to my tickler coil frequently catch
on the shaft and break. Is there any
wire made specially for such pur
poses?"
Ans. —Any flexible stranded wire
should do for tickler connections. Good
connections may be easily made by
twisting together about eight strands
of No. 30 SSC copper wire. The wires
should be cleaned and soldered to
gether at each end.
Q.— M. T. S. asks:
'Does cleaning
the point of the catwhisker help to
make a crystal detector more sensi
tive?"
Ans. —If the cat-whisker is of cop
per, brass, or of some other metal
which tarnishes quickly, it will help
to dean the point occasionally.

WAR OF WORDS
Haven't you more than once
attacked the problem of getting
a radio, only to throw up your
hands and "go under" when the
barrage of technical radio terras
began?
You'll have none of that from
us.
All we do is to ask you to
listen to one of our new Freed
Eisemann sets—picking out the
stations yourself.
—Then to listen to a few facts
about the experience, reliability,
integrity and resources of the
concern that stands back of it.
—And then to decide whether
we're the kind of people who
know what they're talking
about.
Radio technique is too "deep"
for anyone but an expert.
But good business sense, plus
an average pair of ears, is all
you need to choose a good radio
at our shop.
