An informatory double is the doubling of an opponent's bid, partner not having made a bid. and is a powerful weapon when properly employed in contract bridge. Too many players, how ever, give no definite Information whan making on Informatory double. They simply double an opponent's bid to force partner to make a response, regardless of their quick trick holding.
Undor the McKenney system of contract bidding, all informatory doubles show partner at least three and one-half quick tricks:
The total storage In the Colony's of this mouth was 922.21 milion gallons as compared with 1,040.88 mil. lion gallons on May 1,-last year. Of this total 710.15 was in the Island reservoirs and 212.00 in those of Kowloon, as

AS FAMOUS
AS EVER!
The next hand passes and you ordinarily would bid 1wo hearts, but if you hold three and one- half tricks J'ou should double rather than bid two hearts to in- form partner that your hand con- tains threa and one-half tricks. With this additional information he may be able to give you at least one raise or better still the double may be just what he is looking for. He may be loaded with spades and he can now make a penalty pass.
If the left hand opponent should pass and partner does not have the spades stopped he will be forced to bid. Holding noth- ing, he can bid one no trump which will allow you to bid two of your suit, or he may simply support your suit.
When partner has onee bid, any double you may make is purely a business double, e. g. partner bids one heart, opponent bids one spade and you double. You are advising partner that you expect to make more by defeating the opponents at spades than you would playing the hand at hearts. The writer employs the use of one arbitrary convention in his system and that is the overcalling of an opponent's suit bid, with a no trump. This convention will be fully explained in
next ar- ticle.

Listerine Tooth Paste on a Pro-phy-lac-tic
Tooth Brush
The tufted end, notched bristle surface, and extra. resilient bristles of the Pro-phy-tac-tic reach between the teeth and behind the molars, allowing the wonderful cleansing agents of Listerine Tooth Paste to do their work most efficiently. Operating in perfect unison, the dentifrice and brush thoroughly clean every part of every tooth, massaging the margins of the gums, and producing a delightful feeling of cleanliness throughout the entire mouth.
Try double action cleansing. Notice yourself how. swiftly it imparts a new brilliance to the teeth! Once you use double action cleansing you will never go back to ordinary dentifrices and unscientific tooth brushes.
IMPORTANT: Pro-phy-lac-tic Tooth Brumbes are always sold in sani. tary yellow boxes; never looms: Listerine Tooth Paste is sold usually at considerably lower prices than other quality dentifrices. It should save you enough to pay for the Pro-ply-lac-tic Brushes you use.
