WHAT YOUR MARKS MEAN
51 AND OVER: Very hard to take you int You are cautious about committing yourself and do not like rash judgments.
30 TO 10: Usually clear- sighted, but sometimes you get carried away by the excitement of the manent You feel impatient with those who weigh everything up to the last detail and so, like most of us, get more or less than you bargained for.
29 AND UNDER: Very casily impressed by appearances and 60, unfortunately, easily taken in. Be careful! There's Thorе to some things than meets the eye and less than meets the purse,

JACOBY on BRIDGE
ONE of the implest of the
"Mödern American bidding developments has been the use of the jump raise in a minor sult as a strong but now-forcing bid
Today's hand shows how Bob and Jo Sharp of Covington, Ky., used it to get to an effortless slam
With eight high-card points and six good clubs, Jo, sitting North, had a minimum hand for the jump raise but her husband had enough strength to take full command. He simply used Blackwood to make sure that Jo
held an ace and then bid al
clubs.
