AMONG th minor points in the tactics of bidding, there is one to which few players pay sufficient attention, and that is the distinction which may be made in calling suits that require trump assistance from the partner, and those that do not. If one calls a heart on a suit of fire to the ace king, there are eight heartf out against the caller. If the partner has not at least three of these, or two good ones, such as queen and one small, there may be trouble. In such holdings the caller depends on the partner to warn him if dummy is going to be short in the suit. A partner who neglects these warnings is very discouraging.

On the other hand, if one calls hearts on six to the three top honors, or on seven or eight to the ace king, the dummy's hold ing is not of much importance. What is wanted from the dummy then is high cards in the plain suits, or the ability to ruff early. With such holdings the original bid should be two or more, and if it is made to overcall a previous bid, it should be at least a trick more than enough to over-call. It does not matter fhether the call is made by the dealer originally or by his partner in his turn. The point is to indicate the need of trump assistance or otherwise by the size of the bid.

The rfistinctinn tki two 1 lies in indication to the partner as to the kind of assistance required from him. In answer to a one-trick bid, he must have' some trumps. In answer to the overbid, the trump holding is unimportant. In the first case, having no trump assistance, partner should deny the suit if he can, if there is no intervening bid. If there is such a bid, silence will deny assistance, un less the hand is strong enough to shift, i Brooklyn Woman Visits Hero Son 's Grave Abroad th double, total: overlooking the raal liatake ia the band, which is aader-ralline; a wit that needj aaeifUBca.

He can make that contract, but not the game.

A passed, having bid all his hand was worth at the start, but went back to three hearts, and again assisted the spades, bidding three. This doubled. It looks to as if had twice warned him to drop the hearts, and now had a good double, so passed. Knowing nothing about the diamond, and being afraid to pursue the hearts, he opened with his top club. Seeing dummy had no more clubs, showed his ace of diamonds by leading the king, and on dropping the ten from led a third round and gave a ruff, saving his little trump.

The only chance left seemed to be that had no hearts, so led a heart, dummy winning with the ace. On leading the queen of trumps and finding was out, dummy followed with a heart, giving A a ruff, and letting him ruff dummy with a club.

When overcalled A's spade bid, he should have one at once to three hearts, showing that he did not require any heart assistance from Z.

It should then have been easy for to Varry the bid to four or five, if necessary. At hearts, nothing can stop from making five odd, as the two aces, spades and hearts, are the only tricks in sight for A and B. This would ing 399. The difference of 744 is en tirely due to the fact that did not know Y's hearts were strong enough to stand alone. Problem No.

Taft IJkel Riding. What'President Taft liked was rlfl. Ing. either in automobile or train. No speed was too high to suit him.

Mr. Harding also does not mind how high the chauffeur hl'a it up, although they are more careful since he has' been President. Mr. Taft made ntihnarous trips around the country by railroad, and is prnbuble that Mr. Harding, when he gets an opportunity, will do the eame thing.

The trouble in the case of the Inst two Presidents, Wilson and Harding, has been Congress. That body haa been in almost continuous session since 1813. and when Congress is here It is practically Impossible for a President to make anv extended trip away from Washington. Mr. Taft spent a good part of his time in the summer at Beverly, Mass.

His favorite resort was rointe-a-Pic, in the Thousand Islands, but it happened to be on Canadian soil and, after he reached the Presidency, Mr. Taft adhered to the tradition of staving on American soil, a tradition that was later broken by Mr. Wilson, Koosevelt Strenuous. President Roosevelt, from the standpoint of exercise and recreation, was an exceptional case. He had been physically active nil his life and was highly developed in a muscular way.

He was always In training, and he kept it up in the White. House, He played tennis, boxed, wrestled, rode a horse, shot bears, tramped the forests and cllmhed mountains. All that was easy for him, and he loved it. He never played golf and he never fished. The Inst Presidential fisherman was Grover Col.

Roosevelt rested violently, and in a variety of ways. He did more reading even than Woodrow Wilson. The theater concerned him very little, and cruising on the Mayflower did not appeal to him. He used the Mayflower occasionally, but he regarded it In the same light as he did an automobile simply a vehicle to take him somewhere. There was a real summer White House when Roosevelt wns President.

He owned the place himself. Congress was rarely in session in summer during his Presidency: so he would shut up the White House and hurry off to Sagamore Hill, Oyster Bay. There he would keep up his executive work, whllo at the same time he would go out on camping trips with the boys, chop trees and ride his charger over the Iong Island roads. Mr. Wilson did not possess a home to which he could transfer himself in summer.

He made a few brief journeys to Cornish, N. In his first term, arid he spent part of the summer of 1916 at Long Branch. But after the war came he rarely left Washington. There is evidence that Mr. Harding wants to travel around the country during his Presidency, but he will not get a chance this year.

Frobably next year opportunities will be better. If Congress once takes a summer off, Mr. Harding is likely to be found headed for Alaska. His inclination is to travel around, as McKinley and Taft did. meeting a great many people.

Just now he is trying to handle the vacation problem as best he may. Up to date, the Mayflower has offered the simplest solution. Nowadays, Presidents are compelled to learn the art of week-ending. If they cannot content themselves with that, they do not get any vacation at all. Counsel Have you ever seen Witness Yessir, that's where Uibeaflkta Nortaem sfo- ae afaia la ravalt aaalaat faaJa.

Ware, 323 W. 83d Manhattan, left Paris on for Fontainebleau to visit the School for Interior (Decorating, anclnK masters' organization. As things are now, anyone who can cret a class together, no matter what his qualifications may be, is permitted to teach, with the result that many bring ruin to the whole dancing profession.

If we are to uplift dancing, we must not allow such people to represent themselves as qualified to teach." Mr. Koch explained that not only Is the popularity of the Fox Trot, un- lorturiiite trom the standpoint of muraiiiy, duc also from the business angle. "Formerly, when one attended dances," he said, "there were several varieties of dance, listed on the prp-gram. Nowadays there is rarely mora than one or two dances listed and usually it is only fox trot and one of Its variations. This condition is extremely bad for teachers, who rely upon teaching varieties of dances tor their business.

"Of course what we need Is co-operation more than anything else if we are to force more dignified dancing methods on our young pupils," explained the proprietor of Brown's Dancing Studio, in the Bedford section. With most of the teachers looking for the latest and wildest dances to teach, it ts suicide for a handful of us'to bgln to combat this situation. "At present there are only about four dancing school teachers In Brooklyn belonging to any dancing masters' organization. Unless we can line up the rest, any movement to bring the better dances Into rogue is futile." ciarea; laatruattrata. txadibg aa 4 awatiaa; raythaucaiiy ta ta muax-.

Aga summoned tho guard, lie was the tallest and black-eat man I hsd ever seen, with a Inrga acimiter dangling from his belt. They surely know how to guard their women In the East! Nothing could possibly get by that black.

After a brief parley In the native dialect, the eunuch salaamed deeply and motioned me to enter. The gate clanged to behind me, and I followed my guide down a long dark passageway. At Its other end. I wss met by a Frenchwoman, who I afterwards learned had charge of the harem. She led me Into the great Interior court.

Motion ing me to be aeated on a low divan. she vanished after the black. In the Harem. Looking around, I found myself In a beautiful pink and black marble-tiled court surrounded by low overhanging balconies, under the cool stretches of which were corridors supported by slender columns of finely chiseled alabaster. Over the floors were strewn costly Oriental rugs richly colored and tine in their texture.

Gold and silver embroidered cushions were heaicd upon low divans, near which were inlaid stands and tables covered with carved brass and silver trays and bowls. The soft splashing waters of a fountain in the middle of the court mingled with the singing of multi-colored tropical birds and off In the distance came the soft laughter and murmuring of women's voices. Feeling a touch at my elbow, I turned and gazed into the great languid dark eyes of a lbvely young girl slim of body and delicately featured. Her wealth of blue black hair fell in rippling waves below her knees. Loose, diaphanous draperies hung from her shoulders and underneath, could be seen silken trousers gatherei at her slender ankles.

The tiny fee were encased In richly embroidere4 Turkish slippers. From her neck fefl ropes of rare pearls, lustrous with tho sheen of a wonderful orient, and her arms and fingers were laden with heavy- gold rings and bracelets set Wltn greai Diooa rea ruuien. Surrounded by her chattering women, the little favorite, for she was the last wife of the Sheik, gazed at me long and curiously with the naivety of a child. The Frenchwoman in the meanwhile explained to me that her mistress was the daughter of a wealthy Sheik of the desert beyond Fez and that she had never seen a woman of my race at close range before. I was served with all sorts of oriental pastes, native cakes and nuts and the ever thick Turkish coffee in tiny hand-om-b'ossed silver cups.

I never acquired a taste for its sicklsh sweet flavor during all my months in Africa. Delicately flavored cigarettes were offered me, for Oriental women are inveterate smokers. Several of the girls flung themselves on the rug at my feet, reaching out their hands furtively to touch my clothes and handsi Finally they rose and slowly commenced to sway to the soft twang of music played by other girls upon the funny little native instruments. Faster and faster they twirled, until, exhausted and panting, they flung themselves down again at my feet. I gave them cigarettes and patted their dark heads with approval, for they were wondrously graceful with the wild untamed agility of young fauns.

All Wanted Red Hair! The youngest wife of his excellency had not left my side for a moment and when I flung aside my hat, for it was very warm, she gazed long at my hair. It seemed to have a curious fascination for her. Clapping her hands, she summoned one of her women to her side and spoke to her in her native tongue. The girl at once commenced to take out the hairpins, loosening my hair which fell nearly to my knees. I was exceedingly annoyed for it was much too long and heavy to easily arrange.

Turning to the half breed Frenchwoman I demanded an explanation. She merely shrugged her shoulders. "Que voulez vous. madame. La petite est seulement une enfant." She then told me that her little mistress wanted a strand of it so that she too could have hair of gold.

Her women should dye her hair with the native dyes until it was the color of the sun. I tried to explain that red haired women naturally were fair skinned and that she would not look pretty. Hers was far lovlier. But to no avail were my protests, and I reluctantly permitted a strand to be cut. In the meantime there waa something of a commotion for all the women wanted red hair! As I rose to leave, the little "beauty spoke to the Interpreter, nodding gaily at me.

Thp latter laughed and said that her mistress wanted to know if I was ever jealous of my rivals. I shook my head, saying that the men of my faith were only permitted to have one wife. f'Ah!" said the little wild flower of the desert. "All men are alike. Allah has made them so.

i Praise be to Allah!" Deep was her pity for me for I knew not where to find my rivals, whereas tho women of her faith could always find theirs wltnsn the walls of the harem. Love and jealousy are so large a part of tleir lives. To have and to keep the love of their lords means their very life. Taking oft a slender gold bracelet, I slipped It over the wrist of my hostess, and following the black guar-Han of the harom, who had appeared at the door, I passed rapidly from the gay, chattering, apparently carefree women to the great Iron gate. Giving generous backsheesh to the black, I found myself again Inilie world of today.

rt was dark, for the time had flown so rapidly, and I found a very much disturbed husband awaiting me, Many times thereafter I visited harems in the East, but none of them had th1 same charm.

But it served aa a very good 1 illustration of the situation that aur-rounda every President. After all, the political leader in Washington, in both parties, recognize that the amount of vacation a President taken is not particularly Important. It is the amount of work he gets done that rounta. Brig. Gen.

Siwyer, the President's phyitu-luii. haa been Riving attention to the problem of totting sullliient rest and exercise for Mr. Harding. He haa recommended and urged horseback riding and the President hns tried It. He mounted a horse for the first time In 15 yearn and it ia said that he does not particularly enjoy a resumption of the exercise.

In President Harding's rase, as in the case of every President, except In the case of Col. Roosevelt, there is always the problem of how much strenuous exercise a man should take In middle age. after his habits for a long time hove been largely sedentary. He may easily overdo it. which is apt to be worse than no exercise at all.

Dr. Sawyer wanted the President to walk more, but Mr. Harding docs not care much for walking, unless it is over a golf course. Mere walking itself does not attract him. Besides.

In summer Washington Is not a town where deliberate walking is especially enjoyable, on account of the heat. Why Harding Mkcs Golf. When Mr. Harding entered the White House he had a strong notion that.he. would get most of his recrea-tioh'jih golf, which Is a' game he has always liked.

One reason he likes golf is that it has a strong social side. The President does not like to be alone. He is a companionable man, has always been accustomed to having friends about him, and golf furnishes the opportunity. When he. golfs he has some Senatorial friends with such as Kellosrg of Minnesota, Hale of Maine, Frelinghuysen of New Jersey, Klkins of West Virginia or New of Indiana.

Frequently, Under Secretary of State Fletcher is a of the The President expected to golt regularly and tried to arrange his work in order to permit it. But as official duties accumulated and he got into the thick of this Administration, he found that golfing became spasmodic. He floes not care to go out and play nine holes, which was sufficient for President Wilson. He prefers to piay a full round or none at all. If he can crowd in more golf than a full round, he is apt to do It.

his Fourth of July holiday in New Jersey, he played 36 holes in one day, perhaps too onuch for a man nearly 66, who has not been a systematic outdoor person. At any rate, golf does 'not seem to have entirely answered -the purpose in Mr. Harding's case, hence the attempt to get him on horseback. The President's health is good, but he has already felt the strain of his job.v Next whiter the strain will probably be heavier- than ever, and Gen. Sawyer wants nim to be in physical trim to meet It, Mr.

Harding is not of the active type. Physically he is Blow and deliberate, although powerful. He is big-boned, broad-shouldered and rather heavily muscled. His hands are targe and strong and look like those of a man who has worked at manual tasks at some time in his life. He weighs in the neighborhood of 200 pounds, and carries very little superfluous flesh.

He can play golf well, because golf does not demand speed, but he would be a poor hand at. tennis. In the athletic field he could handle weights better than he could run or Jump. Rest on the Mayflower. But' Mr.

Harding, jike other "esi-flents again excepting the unusual Roosevelt requires physical rest aa I well as physical exercise. Thus faille, has taken most of it aboard the yacht Mayflower, which was frequently used 1 by President Wilson and less frequently- by Presidents Taft and Koosevelt. When he goes aboard the Mayflower" with Mrs. Harding for a week-end trip there are almost invariably a few Senators and their wives as guests. Again the desire for companionship 'finds expression.

In the President's predilection for his old Senatorial associates has more than once bothered Senator Lodge, the Republican leader in the Upper House, who. is responsible in a general sort of way for keeping the Senate on the joh. Thfre' Is no doubt that President Handing would liko to take a solid and Uninterrupted vacation, but thus far his tentative plans for such have gone glimmering. He desired to visit Alaska this summer, but could not make it. So he has been adopting the usual.

Presidential makeshift of grabbing few days whenever he can get themand then coming back to Washington to find a desk piled high and Jtit of people waiting to Sec him. The health of a President is more important to the country than that of cny other citizen, This had an unhappy illustration in the case of Wilson, who was an invalid last eighteen months of hia Pri-skiuncy. Mr. Wilnon's Inability to do vigorous work was reflected in a general slackening In the executive departments and a loss of efficiency. It was inevitable, because so much depends on the President under the American system of government.

An automobile is sick when the Ignition system goes wrong, and a President ia the '(Jovernment'H ipnition.

The body of her son, Harry Walsh, is buried there. He was killed during the furious fighting of the 27th Division in September, 1918. Mrs. Walsh said in The Eagle Bureau that the news of her eon's death, with the exact details, came to her through The Kagle 19 days before the bare announcement from the Government that he had been killed.

They arranged immediately upon their arrival here for a motorcar to carry them to the St. Emelie cemetery and to the other 27th Division burying grounds which are in a region Httle known to battlefield sightseeing tourists.
