CONTRACT BRIDGE
By W. E. McKenney
There are two types of hands --defensive type hands and de- clarer type bands. When you pick up your cards, you must firat de- termine which of these types you hold.
If you have a hand containing a lot of nces and kings, wouldn't you much prefer that the opponents play that contract Thon your nces and kings would take tricks, each of which would be worth 100 points or more.
However, if you have a long sult and little high card strength, that in the declarer type of hand. You know that the only tricks you can hope to take are long card tricks.
Too many people are anxious to bid on aces and kings. You need n lot more than that-you need favourable distribution.
The Bidding
That is why South, with to-day's land, should not open the contract- Ing. If his partner cannot make a weak third hand opening bid, there is certainly no reason for him to step Into the bidding.
South makes a serious mistake on this hand in doubling the four spade contract. True enough, it looks as though he certainly could

TREATY REVISION
BRITAIN READY TO HEAR SUGGESTIONS
London, Juno 7.
The Chinone Government was f formed on May 19, in reply to its note concerning tronty rights t Tientsin and the Commerclat Treaty of 1902, that the British Government was ready at all timen to effect such measure of revision as was practicable and desirable, and that Britain WAB ready to consider suggestions.
Sir John Simon made this state ment in the House of Commons-to- day and added that a further noto had been received by Sir Alexander Cadogan, British Minister in China, from the Chinese Govern ment; but the text had not yet reached him.
The Foreign Office was studying Sir the report received from Alexander Cadogan at the end of May on the subject of the official residence of the British Minister, and whether it should be at Pel- ping, Nonking or Shanghal, he add ed. Reuter,

If South and not doubled, the declarer might have finessed the hearts the wrong way.
Today's Contract Problem

If East and West are in a four spade contract against this type of hand, you know that they are in the wrong contract, and you will have a good score on the board.
To double it may just locate the missing high cards that the de- clarer_will_need_to_make_his_con- tract or to go down one trick leas -and it is better to set the hand two undoubled vulnerable than one trick doubled.
The Play
After the four spade bid, South opens the king of clubs. When he continues with a club, Eust, the declarer, ruffs it. East now leads a small spude, winning with the king in dummy and returning a small spade, winning with the ace. Now the declarer decides that the

he is really interested is the queen of hearts, and as South has don- bled, it at least gives him a reason to believe that South holds that card.
Therefore, be lends the jack of hearts. Of course, South must cover with the queen. A heart is returned and then the ten played. This establishes the three! of hearta for the declarer,

Poisons as dangerous as the poison in the fangs of the serpent may be created in the mouth, if particles of decaying food are allowed to remain in the crevices of the teeth.
All decay is caused by germs and bacteria, invisible to the eye. Science discovered Pebeco, the tooth paste which saves the teeth from destruc- tion and keeps them white and attractive.
