Mr. Wynns of a series of articles by Mr. Me-Jones, characterised the policy of Kenney explaining the one over one big firms in placing lowly paid men system for contract bridge. If you in charge of large sums of money, are already a contract player, you will find the series an invaluable aid during the hearing of the case to your game: if you do not play against Lo Kou, which was resurn- contract, but want to learn, the series ed at the Central Magistracy yon- selll be the best possible approach to torday. the game.
Perhaps the most rare of all original bids in the one over one ystem is the original bid of three no trump.
The defendant, who was formerly employed by Thomas Cook and Son. Ltd., was charged with embezzling over $18,000.
Mr. F. H. Loseby prosecuted and. It is made only with a hand 80 heavy in quick tricks or high Mr. H. C. Leo represented the de- cards that partner would be va-fendant.

It is not a forcing bid and differs from a forcing bid in this respect; forcing bids are seeking informa- tion regarding partner's hand, but an original bid of three no trump is made to give partner a picture of the original bidder's hand.
Mr. W. A. Weight, hend of the banking department said Lo Kau An original bld of three no had charge of the cash in both trump should be made only when tourist and banking departments. Sound and intelligent information A key of the cash box was in his ensnot be obtained from partner possession..

Regardless of how balanced partner's hand may be, he should pass unless his hund contains a hve-card suit headed by a queen or a six-card salt headed by a jack or ten. An original bid of three no trump is not a forcing bid.
When a cheek was made on July 2, the cash box was almost empty. The rupees had disappeared, and out of 925 francs only 25 francs 'Ono hundred and remained. twenty-five guilders and other suma in different currencles were missing.
