. ARTICLE No. 11
We cannot all hold good cards but we
all can holdjour tempers. Many a game
and rubber is lost by bad temper, an in-
excusable fault from every angle. The
writer sawthis well 6&emplified tne other
night. Two fairly good players had cut
together for several rubbers and were
not only holding bad cards but also get-
ting bad “breaks.” After several such
hands, one of the players lost his tem-
per completely and began to blame his
partner for their bad luck. This natural-
ly didn’t help so theyw&it from bad to
worse. Finally, after one hand in which
a very bad and unexpected “break” of
cards caused a big loss, the hot tem-
pered player said: “Well, partner, I
have lost all confidence in you.” The
very next hand, the partner made an
informatory double but the hot tem-
pered one refused to bid, saying: “I
know very well what you want me to
do but I'll be hanged if I follow your
ignorant orders.” As a result of this;
childish loss of temper their opponents
went game and rubber. Don’t allow
yourself to lose your temper at the card
table. There’s no better way to lose not
only your money but also your friends.
Several of the hands that caused this
strong difference of opinion, were rather

YZ can only win four tricks for Z will
have to lead diamonds to B’s hand.
When A leads the king of hearts, Z
should play the ten of hearts and win
the second round of hearts with the
aueen. He should then play the king of
diamonds and lead a low heart. A must
win this trick with the jack of hearts.
No matter what he now leads, Y must
make his queen of clubs and queen of
spades. This variation is very instruc-
tive and should be carefully noted. Play
it out and notice the proper play by A
aod Z.

Final figures as to the numbers of
automobiles in operation in the Unit-
ed States last year shew that th:s
country’s automobile registration has
reached an unprecedented total. Dur-
ing the past year 20,229,025 automo-
miles were registered by the various
states, as compared with a total regis-
tration of 17,591,981 automobiles in
1924. Although the actual increase
of 2,629,044 vehicles this year over
tions of the same man. He appears
first as the wealthy young physician;
then, after a blow has caused him o
lose his memory, as the unknown
“Jimmie;” and finally as the “Black
Flash” who is the terror of wealthy
society gamblers and the thorn in the
side of the police. “The Prince of
Pep” is a rattling fast comedy-melo-
drama, for which James Bell Smith
wrote the screen version and it has
been splendidly directed by Jack Nel-
son with a fine cast of supporting
players.
There are no trumps and Z is in the
lead. How can YZ so play the hand
that they will win five of the eikht tricks
against any defense? The solution of
this problem has already been given but
a possible, defense by B was suggested
for analysis. At trick one, Z should play
the king of clubs and Y should play the
seven. Z should then follow with the
seven of spades. A should win this trick
with the king. It was suggested that A
should now play the king of hearts and
follow with the nine. If Z plays the six
of hearts on A’s king, and wins the
second round of hearts with the ten.

last is greater than the increase of
2,499,804 for the preceding year the
percentage gain has net - been as
large. The percentage increase of 13
per cent this year is slightly leas
than the 17 per cent gain made in
1924 over 1923. The District of Gi-
iumbia was the only district to re-
port a smaller number of cars in
1925 than in 1924. Florida, on tlje
other hand, registered an increase
of almost fifty per cent. The south-
ern states, as a while, reported tre-
mendous percentage increases.
The total registration in
states now showing over a
cars each is more than the total
registration of the entire country as
recently as 1919 and at the present
time the registration of these six
states is three times greater than
total registration for the entire world,

Chevrolet Co. Brings,
Out New Closed Model
A new standard of small ettr^beau-
ty has been established by the im-
proved Chevrolet models which were
displayed for the first time at the
New York Automobile Show.
Besides the landau, latest of the
Chevrolet products, the closed group
includes a sedan, coach and coupe.
AJ1 have bodies by Fisher. The com-
pany also produces a roadster and
touring car and two trucks of one-
half and one-ton capacities.
Despite the many improvements,
and refinements on the Chevrolet
cars, prices of all models were sub-
stantially reduced Jan. 1st.
The complete appointments and
distinctive lines of the landau make
this car the aristocrat of the Chevro-
let closed line The exterior body
panels, disc wheels and hood are in
the new Arizona gray color. The
body stripes are in gold. The leather-
covered rear quarter with its landau
windows and graceful landau bars
adds a final touch to the appearance
of the tar. The gray of the interior
harmonizes with the outside panel
eolers. The landau interior equip-
ment includes dash and dome lights,
roller shades, foot rest, robe rail,
smoking set and door pockets.
The coupe is finished in the Ari-
zona array Duco, the coach in Bloom-
field gray and the sedan in Algerian
blue. The front seat of the sedan
has been given a slightly increased
tilt. This affords greater comfort to
the front seat passengers and in-
creased leg room to those in the rear
seat. The sedan has a foot rest
similar to that in the landau.
All of the clased cars have the V
one-piece ventilating windshield, au-
tomatic windshield wiper, sun visor,
parking lamps and Ternstedt interior
hardware.

is retained on the two open
