DUMMY BRIDGE.

A STAND-BY FOR HOSTESSES.

[BY LADY FLORA HASTINGS.]

Although most bridge players prefer a four-handed game, it is as well to be conversant with the laws and rules of dummy," or three handed, auction, for one never knows when a guest may fail to appear to make a fourth, and the players will be faced with a three- handed game or abandoning play. Quite a number of players I have met, however, seem to be confused about various points in dummy bridge.

A Misleading Game For Beginners. It can be quite a good gams, bus I do not advise beginners who wish to become good bridge players to play the three-handed game too often, because, as each one is playing for herself and the object is to play the dummy hand, over- calling is much more frequent than is the case in four-handed bridge: Dummy's cards being unknown, everyone gambles on what that hand may hold.

The player who cuta the lowest card deals, and she who cuts the next lowest card sits on the left of the dealer, and the remaining player sits at the dealer's right hand. As the rubber proceeds these places naturally are changed. as the dummy is always the hand dealt opposite the dealer,

The dealer has first call. If a player makes, out of turn, a call other than a pass, and attention is drawn to the irregularity before the player on the left of the offender has called, the offender forfeits 100 points to each of her adversaries, Her call out of turn is annulled and the auction proceeds as if the call had not taken place,

Why A High Score Is Usual. On account of the players making risky calls, the score is usually much higher and more frequently above the line than in ordinary bridge.

If the declarer does not full her contract, the rule is that both her opponents score above, the line ac cording to the number of tricks the declarer lacks for her contract, whether doubled or not. A penalty such as a revoke is also scored by both opponents.

The rubber is won by the player who first wins two games. Each player scores 100 points above the line for every game she wins, and the winner of the rubber scores a further 250 points." Many players, however, prefer to ignore the rubber and just score. the 100 points for every game until play is brought to a close.

The total score of each player above and below the line is added up and each player wins from and loses to each other player the differ ence between her score and that of the other players.

Variations In Scoring Honours. It is the rule that if the bonours are held by one or both of the declarer's opponents both of the latter ecore them, but I have often played when each player has scared her individual honours. For in- stance, if the hand has been played in clubs and A holds 3 honours, she would score 18 instead of 19 for simple bonours. If B holds the remaining 2 she would score 12 and C would therefore score,po thing.

EXAMPLE OF THE MOTOR TRADE.

Sir Joseph Davies, head of Joseph Davies and Hailey, coal exporters, Cardiff, who was M.P. for Crewe from 1918 to 1922, abows in the article below how by better salesmanship the United States holds a lead in Empire markets,

During the last four years I have voyaged to South Africa, Ceylon. Burmah, New Zealand, and Canada. Everywhere I found American pro- ducts predominate in the shops, stores, and garages.

Last year I was in New Zealand. and here and, in Australia, the British car has the benefit of a pre! ferential tariff, and, more import ant, a splendid goodwill arising out of the desire pervading the whole of the people to help the Mother Country British cars to-day can compete in price with American cars. As engineering products for reliability and length of life they are superior, and they are just as adaptable to Australasian condi tions as American cars.

And yet, handicapped by higher import duties and the sentiment of the

towards people

buying British goods, the Americans are selling four cars to our one.

af

Ia every town, large or small, in our Dominions you find at the motor depots, ready for trial and sale, all the leading makes American cars. You can test the car you like, examine its mechaniarr and see its body and fittings. You can on the spot make arrangements for cash down or payment by in- stalmenta, and you can drive your purchase home. If you are deter- mined to buy an English car, ten to one you must order it from Eng- land and live in hope. that it will come soon, and when it does arrive that it will be all right.

The American policy-and it is the policy that is securing the business is: take your goods to the buyer's door. The British policy follows too much the line of trying to sell from catalogues and descrip- tions.

If we can to a far greater extent than at present fill the shops and stores ol our Dominions and Colonies with British manufactur- ers we shall quickly see an amazing expansion in British trade. A thou- sand cars of any of the well-known British makes sent to Australia and New Zealand would find buyer's

Problem For The Banks, Needless to say, to carry out such policy on the scale of our American competitors means big business. It will necessitate co- operation between numbers of firms, and side by side with this it will demand whole-hearted backing by the banks to finance 'in immensely increased volume of British goods.

In the U.S.A. the men control. ling the banks and Amance houses are more directly interested in productive and manufacturing 40 tivities. Here commercial develop. ments have to appeal to the banks for help; there the banks are often the initiators of commercial move- menta, and take a direct and active part in forwarding business in home and foreign markets.
