OPEN GAMBLING BRINGS FORTUNE TO HOT SPRINGS Illegal, but City Gets Its Share and Visitors Can Do Their Stuff. BY BOYDEN UNDERWOOD I'nltcd Press Staff Correspondent HOT SPRINGS, Ark., Feb. 17. Gambling is illegal in Arkansas, but games of chance cause a quarter of a million dollars to chance here nightly. No steel doors, or peepholes, greet (he visitor as ne or she enters the “south’s finest’’ gaming rooms. Inlaid roulette tables or modernistic dice tables are the most popular. But faro, blackjack, Russian bank and other games draw their share. The only requirement for admittance to some of the clubs is evening dress. Race wires run into cigar stores fitted like a stock exchange office—cushioned chairs and all the frills. Good whisky is about the only luxury the average visitor is unable to buy. Os course, there is the ‘ bottled in bond’’ but most visitors drink “mountain corn.” Gaming Is Wide Open That gambling is wide open here is proved by a front page editorial in the Sentinel-Record recently. It was headed ‘ Petty Gambling Must Stop,” and said:' “There is no disposition on the part of the rank and file of citizens to keep visitors here from participating in high-class entertainment of chance. "But there is a vast difference from high-class entertainment for visitors and the lowest forms of Petty gambling that does not appeal to the visitor, but degrades the youth of the community and takes from business interests income that should rightfully be spent in local trade.” “What Depression?” The editorial hit at slot machines. It was brought on by the recent beating to death of a man using slugs in place of coins. With the height of the season only a few wrecks away, “Jake” Jacobs, one of the number one gamers, has renovated his halls of chance and is preparing for a “rushing” .business. And, as last year, Jacobs still laughs at the depression and asks, “What is it?” But all the winnings are not split between the players and the table owner. The city of Hot Springs get its share. In this way taxes are lowered. Regular paynients are made to the city by the gambler. The “Roll” Is ( ailed Gambling, being a violation of Ihc state law, can not be licensed, but one of (lie city fathers worked out a scheme—they would fine them. A roster of the establishments was made out. The "roll” is called each day and tw r o men appear in court. They are fined SIOO each lor gaming. They may represent different establishments, or both represent one. The fine depends on the “business” each house does. And so on down the list. And as a result Hot Springs has no pressing debt problems. Pious ones hold their noses and point to this “Jewel of the Ozarks" —the new divorce capital of America. And the jewel pats its fat pocketbook and smiles back.

Contract Bridge

BY W. E. M’KENNF.Y S*crtarv American Bridie Leatue IT must be remembered that in the constructive one over one | system of contract bidding, there I are many forcing bids employed not I used in other systems. For example, the dealer opens with one heart and partner jumps to three hearts. This is a forcing I bid, asking partner either to go to ! rhrre no trump or to bid for game in hearts. A jump from one heart to four hearts is not a sign-off bid—it clearly states that the assisting hand believes that at least five odd can be made and with additional strength ■ m the original bidder’s hand, he is inviting a slam. If th original bidder opens with \ one heart and his partner jumps 'o two no trump, this also is a forcing bid. However, there are times when it becomes necessary to deviate from any rule in contract bridge to obtain the best result, and if a player will stop and think before making a mechanical book bid, he will find the game much more interesting. Here is one of the hands from the

national amateur pivot and progressive tournaments in which the pair playing it not only failed to arrive at a grand slam, but failed to bid for the small slam. The Bidding South, the dealer, opened the contracting with one heart. West passed. The North and South pair were using the constructive one over one system of bidding. After South’s bid of one heart, North had a perfect picture of the hand. Where are the three high card tricks necessary for an opening bid in this system? First of all, he knew that his partner must hold the ace and king of hearts to give him two tricks there. He could hold the king of clubs and the king of spades to give the three tricks, or the king and queen of spades. The worst possible break that he could find would be to have his partner hold just the king and queen and a small spade and two clubs and two diamonds, but even then he would have a chance for the club finesse to make the grand slam. If North were to jump to four hearts, as he did when this hand was played, it is true that this is a slam invitation, but don’t you realize that partner with a minimum holding now would pass?

As North's hand contains all the high card tricks, there would be nothing for South to do but pass. The better bid is either to force in another suit or to make a reI sponse of three hearts. Personally, I believe that three hearts is the better response. Before making a forcing bid stop to consider whether your bid is conveying information or seek- ; ing additional information. In this case North was seeking additional information. If he had bid lour hearts, he would be giving information and that would be wrong with this type of hand. (CoDvrlzht. 1933. bv NEA Service.
