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 K, J. 3 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: Hearts— A, K, 4 Clubs — A, 9 too Hearts — K, J Clubs — J, 6, 3, 2 Diamonds — 9, 3, 2 Spades —A, K, 10, 4 - Hearts — 10, 8, 2 : Clubs — none B; Diamonds — A, K, J, 8, 7,5 : Spades — 9, 7, 3, 2 Y : A Z "No aoore, rubber game. Z dealt and passed, A bid one spade, Y one no trump, B passed and Z bid two hearts. A and Y passed and B bid two spades, Z bid three clubs, A and Y passed and B bid three spades. Z bid lour clubs, A doubled, Y redoubled and B bid four spade*. Z and A passed, Y doubled, B redoubled and all passed. Y ojiened «ce of hearts and then led the trey. How should A play the combined hands? After winning the second trick with the king of hearts, A should lead the king of spades. He should then lead a low diamond and win the trick in B's hand with the king. He should then lead a low spade and win the trick with the are In his own hand, la this particular hand, Z failed to follow suit on the second round of spades. A was now in a posi tion where he could count Z's hand very accurately. Y 's lead of the ace and trey of hearts and the fact that B held the deuce indicated that Y originally held only two hearts. Therefore Z must have held of clubs indicated that he must have held at least five dubs so that his orig inal holding must have been six hearts, five clubs, one spade and one diamond. Therefore, A at the sixth trick should lead a diamond and finesse the jack. Played in this way, AB should make their contract for YZ can only make the ace of hearts and two spade tricks.

If B plays low, Z should play the nine, forcing A in the lead. A can now lead a heart or a spade. If the former, Z wins the trick and leads a spade.

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 ly in Europe with its numerous lan ANNOUNCEMENT OF RADIO PROGRAMS FROM KOA DENVER We wish to announce that beginning in our next week's issue of the News we will publish weekly radio programs from station KOA, Denver.

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.

THE RADIO 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.
