CONTRACT BRIDGE
By W. E. McKenney.
I bolleve that one of the most common faults of even the aver age bridge player is that he does not know when to sacrifice a trick. Quite often it is necessary to give up one or even two tricks in order to make a trick for yourself.

The Bidding.

The contract bidding would be South one club, West pass, North one heart. South would then bid one apade. Here we have two one onc bids cach forcing, North should then bid two trump because he has the diamond suit stopped. South would then take the contract to three no trump.

It would be East's opening lend and his proper play would be the four of diamonds as it is his long- est and atrongest suit, and in addi- tion it is the only suit that was not bid by, the opposition. The jack should be played from dummy, West winning with the nce.
1. Manchukuo shall confirm and respect,. In so far as no agreement to the contrary shall be made be tween Japan and Manchukuo in the future, all rights and interests possessed by Japan or her subjects within the territory of Manchukuo by virtue of Sino-Japanese treaties agreements or other arrangemente or Sino-Japanese contracts, pri- vate as well as public.
2. Japan and Manchukuo, re- cognizing that any threat to the territory or to the peace and order of either of the high, contracting parties constituten at the same time a threat to the safety and existence of the other, agree to co-operate in the maintenance of their national security; it being understood that such Japanese forces as may be necessary for this purpose shall be stationed in Manchukuo.

Some players would now make the mistake of leading a heart to declaree's ace so as to take the club finesse, but you can see that regardless of the distribution a club trick must be lost, therefore the proper play is to lose it im- mediately and the five of clubs should be played from dummy.
West should go up with the nine in an endeavor to hold the trick an that he can come through the diamonds, but North would play the jack and East would win the trick with the king.
Eust had now botter cash his queen of diamonds or he will lose it, and the declarer wins the re- maining tricks, making four trump.
