Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. MKENNEY Secretary American Bridge Lea rue IN a recent article I gave an illustration of a simple coup, showing how it may be used to trap a trump honor which can not be picked up by straight leading or by a finesse. This situation arises when declarer's right-hand opponent Is long in trump and dummy's trumps are exhausted too soon to permit a finesse. Today's hand illustrates a more intricate variation of the same play. It is known as the double coup, because declarer must dispose of two surplus trumps to reduce the length of his trump suit to the same length
as that of his opponent. Only in this way can he place the lead in dummy at the crucial eleventh trick to hold a ten-ace over the opponent's two remaining trump. m- B a • The Play DECLARER won the first diamond lead with the queen, and led the ace of spades. He followed with a small spade, and if he should finesse the ten spot the i grand slam would be easy. How- ! ever. East was careful to play first ■ the three and then the eight of spades, apparently marking the four in the East hand. Even without this bit of decep- | tion, declarer would have no reason ' to finesse, for a three-two distribution is far more probable than fourone, and the proper play was to go up with the queen. When West discarded a diamond on the second spade lead, declarer knew he must play his cards carej fully. He took two rounds of hearts, and led a small heart from dummy, which he ruffed with the seven of spades. He then led a diamond to dummy's ace and returned the king of diamonds. If East should ruff. South would over-ruff, pick up the trump, and discard his losing clubs on the two good hearts in dummy. Instead, East discarded a club, and South did likewise. The queen of hearts was led from dummy. East and South again discarding clubs. When the last heart was led from dummy, East still refused to ruff, but this time the declarer trumped with the nine of spades. The eleventh trick was taken in dummy with the ace of clubs, and declarer's king-ten of trump gave him a tenace position over East’s jack, to win the last two tricks. It is interesting to note that the grand slam can not be made in either no trump or hearts, without taking an unnatural spade finesse. • CODvriclU. 1334 NEA Service. Inc.t

Manners and Morals
Talk it over with Jane Jordan! Put your problem in a letter today and read the answer in this Alumn. Dear Jane Jordan —I am twentysix years old and have been married two years. I had been disappointed in love when I began to go with my husband and turned to him for comfort as
he had cared for me since we were kids. He was so good to me that I loved him more than I h ad ever loved anybody. We both enjoyed home life so much and liked to be b y ourselves. Then we met some young married
Jane Jordan
couples whom I thought were very nice. They drank beer and did a few things that I didrt’t approve of such as smoking and swearing. We got pretty thick with them until I found myself slipping into the same track. My husband seemed to be having such a good time but to see him get almost drunk and do things I'd never seen him do before just made the cold chills run down my back. I couldn’t stand it any longer and we quit this, crowd. While we were running around with them I noticed a change in my husband. He acted like he didn’t care whether I loved him or not, or whether I was with him very much. Then I heard he was going with one of these girls, and he confessed. He had to pay very dearly for this mistake in a way I can not mention here. He realizes now what he has done but he says he still loves me and always has. He has begged and begged me to stick with him. But it has just killed me. I’ve lost my faith in him. He has done everything I thought he wouldn’t do. Every time I look at him I see this other woman loving him and I just can’t feel that he doesn't care for her. What caused me to love him in the first place is gone. Should I keep trying to forget or just call it quits' s DISAPPOINTED. Answer—The trouble with most of us is JJiat we do not fall in love with another person at all but with an image of our own creation. When we find that our beloved is endowed with distressingly human qualities which had no place in the original picture, we are pained and shocked and love no moie. You made your husband into a hero but you've discovered he is only an man. If there is anything real in your love at all you will be able to pardon a digression which he regrets, and build your life together on a basis closer to the facts. Why should you assume that

BY JANE JORDAN
your husband loves this woman simply because of a little erotic exercise? I believe he speaks the truth when he says he loved you all the time. With the slightest encouragement on your part he will be a far better husband because of his experience. A fling which comes to grief is not likely to be repeated. Dear Jane Jordan—Should a fellow hold a girl past against her even after she has proved to him that she loves him alone? I’ve been no angel, yet I’ve not been as bad as he thinks. If he loved me enough he'd forget the past and give me a fair chance to prove myself. Am I wrong or is he? CHRISTINE. Answer—ls the young man finds it impossible not to be influenced against you by things which have gone before, he should let go so that you can find someone else. The man who neither disappears nor allows the girl to have a moment’s peace in his presence must be suspected of an unworthy purpose. Either he uses your past as a weapon to keep you in subjection, or as excuse not to marry you. He even may take pleasure in whipping himself into a state of jealous misery in .order more fully to enjoy what we call ‘‘making up.” In any case he is making himself a nuisance. You have a right to insist that he adjust himself to the situation or get out of it. Dear Jane Jordan—l am eighteen and engaged to a boy nineteen. I love him with all my heart and he worships me. We see each other every night. We plan to be married next spring and are saving our money now. The only reason we aren’t married now is that money keeps us apart. He begs me to give in to him just once before we are married. He says he just can’t wait. I love him and I want to make him happy, but after reading “Sorry’s” letter I hesitate. It isn’t that I don’t trust him for I do. Please help me. GRATEFUL. Answer—Why take the chance of poisoning a happy relationship with a grinding feeling of guilt on both sides? It is the exceptional and not the usual man who is not affected by a pre-marital relationship with his fiancee. For all you know he might not work half so hard to save for your marriage next spring if he was relieved of the pressure of his desire. Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Bridge, Mansfield. 0., have returned to their home after spending two weeks with Mr. Bridge’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Bridge.

League of Women Voters Devotes Most of Efforts to Legislative Program Personnel Management for State and Local Governmental Units Among Aims -.i •'.* \ listed for Next Year.' j ,/ 1 * • r This is the eighth in a si rie* of article* being written bv president* of some : of the leading women’i orjacitations, in which projramj for the coming season are being discussed. V . bob'. , BY MRS, S. N. CAMPBELL President. Indiana league of Women Voters. THE Indiana League of Women Voters operates on a two-year cycle and has entered the second period of one which will end with the close of April, 1935. In the year in which the general assembly does not meet, the organization studies questions which are of general public interest. As the result of this study certain topics are chosen for support in the forthcoming session of the legislature. Thus the second year is devoted to intensive study of a selected list of subjects. Members spent last year in study, investigation, observation and discussion of those subjects comprising its program of work. Their conclusions were brought to the convention in May, 1934, through the 6ix departments of the league: Government and its operation, government and child welfare, government and education, government and economic welfare, government and legal status of women, government and international co-operation. t The convention adopted the following program on which action may be taken by the league at the 1935 session of the legislature: A system of public personnel management for state and local units of government. Improvement of nominating methods. Organization of county welfare units. Ratification of the child labor amendment. Appropriate action on unemployment compensation measures. Five-day waiting period before issuance of marriage license. Support of those recommendations from the childrens code commission and committee on economy which may be chosen by the board of directors of the state league as appropriate for league action. At present the headquarters of the league is in correspondence with candidates for the legislature. The first letter and set of questions were sent preceding the primary, and now the office is acknoweldging replies received from the letter sent to those candidates successful in obtaining nomination. By the first of the year the legislative steering committee which does the actual interviewing in the house and senate will be ready for its work. Mrs. Warren K. Mannon is chairman and Mrs. Smiley Chambers vice-chairman of the committee. nan bub Seeks to Stimulate Voters’ Interest IN the meantime the league proceeds with those other activities of its program designed to educate, inform and stimulate the voter to a point of continuing interest in his government and its affairs. The fall program of the Indianapolis league will deal primarily with subjects pertaining to the election and the legislative program of the state league. Plans already are being made for a meeting when candidates of the leading political parties will be presented to the membership of the league, and the Wednesday morning discussion groups which have proved to be a popular feature will be started with a series of meetings on the Indianapolis public schools emphasizing the effect of budget reductions on tha school system.

“rr'HE good woman has no 1 story,” is a statement attributed to Samuel Goldwyn, moving picture producer. Now, isn’t that encouraging for the girls? Moreover, it’s about as spurious as a great many other things that have come out of Hollywood. One might as well say that drama can be found only in the life of a
Why, there’s ten times more actual romance in the saga of one human being who has fought and overcome temptation, who has built a decent existence and done some constructive work in this world than in a hundred sordid and monotonous tales of the evildoer. Since when has the pov;er to overcome weakness and to resist wickgd ways been less excellent material for writers and dramatists than the instantaneous surrender to sin? Is not the .whole history of man one of struggle against evil, ap attempt to withstand the malevolent forces which seem to pursue humanity? And this struggle constitutes the one big plot that never grows tiresome in the telling. The trouble with the producers is that they have devoted themselves so long and so p.ersistenly to stories about bad women, they have last what little knowledge they ever had about what goes on in the lives of those whom we call good. Yet the appeal made to our dra-

matic sense by the easy-going ladies lies always in their fight against and their ultimate redemption from wickedness. In the last reel each resists temptation and becomes a reclaimed sinner, or in other words, a half-saint. There is romance and drama In every life. Within each of us there goes on the eternal struggle between t ur better and our worse selves. Every human heart is a spiritual battleground. Hence, the tale of the good woman is always a tale of victory; that of the bad woman one of defeat. It can not be said truthfully there were no thrills in the life of a Jeanne d'Arc, a Florence Nightingale or an Anna Shaw. The most exciting romances ever spun could be fashioned from the history of any simple pioneer mother who brought up her family in the 1 wilderness. The woman who does ’ the same thing now is no insignifi- ’ cant person. I suspect the men of vanity.' May it not be true that they really '■ believe no woman can experience ’ an exciting life unless she has amorous affairs with many of them? , J WOMEN TO CONFER ' ON ISSUES OF DAY. The New York Herald-Tribune has issued invitations to representative women to attend its fourth conference on current problems, to be held Sept. 26 and 27 in the WaldorfAstoria in New York. The theme of the conference will be “Changing Standards.” and the keynote speech will be made by Dr. Glenn Frank, president of the University of Wisconsin. Prominent women will talk on “The Changing Status of Women,” at one of the sessions to be opened by Dorothy Thompson, 'Mrs. Sinclair Lewis) and closed by Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt.
