Contract Bridge
BY W. E. M KENNTY Sfrfftart Amrrlran Bridir Lratuc r TV)O many people today are tryJ. ing to play contract bridge with auction bidding. The theory in auction was that you opened weak first or seeond hand because you were bidding against your opponents, out in contract you bid for your partner. When you make an original bid you are laying the foundation upon which game or slam is to be built. If your foundation Is not strong, the castle that you and your partner attempt to build on thin air almost is certain *o crash

We open weak third hand bids for two reasons—first, to try to confuse the opponents, and second, to protect partner Even a fourth hand bid may be made if you are certain that you have enough strength to prevent the opponents from making game in a major suit. Here is another mistake I have seen a lot of players mak*—partner makes an original bid. let us say a first or second hand bid. one that shows plenty of strength, and they hold the big hand They now start bidding that hand blindly. Remember that when you hold a lug hand after your partner has made an original bid, undoubtedly all that he has is an absolute minimum, and therefore you should guide your bidding accordingly. I thought the following hand, which was played at Hanover. N. H. in the recent American Whist League tournament, was cleverly bid by North and South. a a a SOUTH opened the contracting with one heart. West made a negative double North had a big hand, and I presume the average player immediately would bid. However. in this case. North made a very fine pass. Without a doubt East is going to respond with a spade bid. which is going to give North an opportunity to make a splendid cue bid. East bid one spade. Sbuth bid two hearts and West bid two spades. ■ North now knew that there were no losing hearts and his only fear in the hand was that partner held i three small clubs and the king, queen and one diamond, in which case a club might be lost. North now made a bid of three spades, whitfh East passed. South bid four hearts. North then bid five diamonds to show his ace of diamonds and South went to six hearts. This was all the information that North needed. With that type of bidding. South could not hold three small clubs; therefore. North went to seven hearts, which, of course, is a lav-down.

—Dietz on Science— SCORPIO. SIGN OF SUMMER. IS RULEROF SKY Brilliant Constellation Each Night Climbs Higher Above Horizon. BY DAVID DIETZ Senpps-Howard Srirnre Editor Across the southern sky shines Scorpio, the celestial scorpion, the sign of summer Each night., he climbs a little higher into the southern sky While mother earth slept beneath her blanket of winter snow, the magnificent constellation of Orion, the mast conspicuous and easily identified constellation with the exception of the Big Dipper, ruled the sky. But as winter waned Orion sank lower and lower upon the western horizon. All through the spring, Orion, the mighty hunter of mythology, became less and less conspicuous in the sky. Then with the advent of summer, he disappeared all together. But with the first days of summer. .Scorpio climbed into the sky. Now he gleams in his full glory In the southern sky. Thus he will rule until the days of autumn. Then, as the leaves turn red and gold, he will creep toward the southwestern horizon. As the leaves turn brown and fall from the trees, he will sink •still further upon the horizon. As the trees shiver in the wind and the first early snows fall, he will disappear from sight entirely. Thus Scorpio, sinking beneath the horizon, will signal that the old year is coming to an end. But when that happens, Orion, like a beacon of hope, will begin to poke his head up over the eastern horizon to proclaim that Christmas cheer and a New Year are not far off
Subject of Legends The ancients, who knew far less about the stars than we moderns do, but who felt their charm and beauty far more, noticed that Orion and Scorpio were never in the sky together. They observed that the two. in their endless circling of the celestial sphere, always kept far apart, one disappearing over the western horizon as in*- other emerged upon the eastern horuon. And so they wove legends to explain this. They made up tales to explain the enmity between the mighty hunter and the scorpion. According to one. Orion was a great, hunter who boasted that he feared no animal. But even as he \r asted. a scorpion sprang out of the ground and stung him upon the causing him to die. The scorpion was sent by the gods to pums:: his vanity. The gods then placed both hunter and scorpion in the heavens, perhaps as a warning to mankind against the evils of vanity. Enmity Symbolized It Is interesting to note how the ancients symbolized the enmity between mankind and creeping things by their designation of constellations. At midnight upon the first day of spring in ancient times, the constellation of Scorpio was just at tlu* horizon. At the same time the constellation of Draco, or the dragon, was upon the northern horizon. In the stars, above these two constellations. the ancients imagined two mighty men. their heads formed by stars high in the sky and near the zenith. One was Ophiuchus, the serpent-bearer, who is depicted as trampling upon the head of Scorpio. Tlie other was Hercules pictured as trampling ujx>n the dragon. Th? constellation of Scorpio is easily found because it dominates the southern sky. A group of fairly bright stars mark the scorpion's head and claws. A longer, irregularly curving line of stars, set almast at right angles to the first line, marks the twisting body and tail of the scorpion. Red Star Forms Heart Near the front of this second line, is a beautiful red star of piercing brilliance. It is Antares. the heart of the scorpion. The star is of special interest to astronomers for it is the largest known star in the heavens. Many years ago. astronomers suspected that it was among the largest of the stars. This opinion was confirmed when the interferometer. designed by the late Dr. A. A. Michelson. the "high priest of light." was attached to the great 100-inch telescope at Mt. Wilson and turned upon Antares. The interferometer revealed that Antares had a diameter of 415.000,000 miles. Think for a moment what that means! Our own sun has a diameter of 864.000 miles. If the sun were hollow, you could place our earth at its center and the moon could continue to revolve around the earth at its customary distance of 240.000 miles. If Antares were hollow, you could place our sun at its center, and the earth could still revolve around the sun at its customary distance of 93.000.000 miles.
