"L. H. O." Since the advent of the new scor­

ing rules for contract bridge, a new hero has appeared at the card table. In the past, the central figure at almost any contract bridge table was a tournament star, or possibly one of those wellknown stars, Mr. East, Mr. West. Mr. North and Mr. South. None of these familiar names is heard any more, because a new and mysterious person has jumped into prominence. This person is already being addressed familiarly by his initials by everyone. I am speaking of "L H. O."

Who is this "L, H. O." who oc­cupies the role of villain as often as he does the role of hero? He seems to be all-conquering and om­nipotent. He has been ruling the bridge games at the various clubs with an iron hand for the last few weeks and he has the new rules to thank for being exalted to his lofty state. His full name, unless you know it already, is "Left-Hand-Op­ponent."

His rights under the new rules are many. However, his newest weapon is the power, under certain situa­tions, to call for a new deal. This penalty was not in the old laws, but under the new laws many infrac­tions of the rules are penalized by allowing Mr. L. H. O. to call for the hand being thrown out, if he chooses.

The most devastating use of this prerogative that I have seen oc­curred in a game recently. A care­ful study of the new rules will show that the new penalty for a call out of turn is that instead of partner of the offender merely being barred from the bidding, as has been the case heretofore, our friend, L. H. O., now may have the hand thrown in. In short, if the bidding or the lay of the cards does not seem satis­factory to him, if he does not think that his side will be able to emerge from the hand with a plus score, his rights in the matter, once an op­ponent has offended, allow him to continue playing the hand and ig­nore the offense or to throw in his cards and the hand is just forgotten

On this hand, the East-West team had the balance of power. They quickly reached a game in hearts, with North and South, who were not vulnerable, bidding spades de­fensively. When four hearts was reached, North chose to put in & sacrifice bid of four spades. West very properly bid five hearts, and, after much deliberation, South de­fended at five spades. The East player, however, would not sell the

of turn quite naturally prevented East making any such decision, and quite justly the laws gave the North-South team, and particularly our friend Mr. L. H. O. certain rights in the matter. Of course, it is aside from the point whether East would or would not have bid seven hearts or whether he would have doubled himself. The fact remains that West's unfortunate and excitable double, without waiting until the bidding came around to him, re­moved all chance of East making a mistake.

If you were betting on the North-South team, Mr. L. H. O. was a hero, but if you were an adherent of the East-West pair, L. H. O. was a villain.

hand so cheaply, and decided to bid six hearts. After much hesitation, North decided that he and his part­ner had no defense against the slam contract, and, seeing that they had pushed the opponents into this bid, he decided to go all the way and overbid the slam. Six spades, of course, was his call. The West player became so excited at this turn of affairs, as he had considered doubling five spades, and knowing that a large set would result, he im­mediately doubled, even though both East and South had yet to bid be­fore the contracting reached him. North, the drowning man. grasped at the straw, and the straw proved to be a veritable lifeboat.

"For a bid out of turn," he said, "the new laws provide that the left-hand opponent may call for a new deal. Being the left-hand opponent myself, at this point, I hereby de­clare this hand to be null and void."*

East and West could do nothing but assent, and, instead of scoring a vulnerable game or a vulnerable slam, or at least a 700- or 1,000-point set, had to be content with imagin­ing that the hand had never been dealt at all.

As a matter of fact, even though East and West received quite a blow, the rule is just. It is quite con­ceivable that without West's illegal double out of turn, East might have had an entirely different idea about the hand. He was the sort of player who insisted on bidding every time it came around to him, and it is quite possible that he would have gambled on bidding and making seven hearts. North and South would possibly ^iave been able to defeat this contract, and, instead of taking a set themselves, they might have obtained a small plus on the hand.

made Buffalo a better place to live in, than it was long ago when winter began in December and stayed right with us up to that period when navigation opened. We are all prone to look backward and say "them wuz the days," but there's no denying that their romance was occasionally disturbed by stern reality in "the shape of blizzards and what .blizzards they were! Howling winds, blinding snow drifting so that sidewalks and roadways were a trackless waste, and the ther­mometer registering zero and fre­quently several degrees below, that was a time when the young lady valedictorian might well have re­peated her favorite declaration: "Life is real—Life is earnest."

While they may not have been pioneer days, nevertheless they called for considerable courage on the part of man and beast. The milkman and the groceryman en­acted the role of life savers to those marooned within their homes the faithful man with the shovel dug them out. Then with what anxiety everybody awaited the snowpiough drawn by a sturdy

robe, he forged his way through the snow drifts and into the house to give what aid he could.

We remember one outstanding winter when early January brought one of the worst storms in the city's history, according to the memory of the oldest inhabitant. That was be­fore the daj-s of the grip or the flu, but an epidemic of influenza was laying everybody low. Our paternal parent and ourself (who always took everything that was going) were both flat on our backs. Delaware Avenue was like a dead white city, and in pur particular abode faced Hedge Avenue, so th^t the terrific gale blew the snow up and across the avenue*in a perfect riot. It was with heroic efforts," as well as almost the taking of his life in his hands, that the doctor could reach us. There wasn't a nurse to be had for love or money, and the heat from the furnace was nil, but there is al­ways a snitch of comedy in nearly

• u n t l 1 i every situation, no matter how des­perate. In this case it was Joseph­ine, the valiant maid of all work, who feared nothing, and who stood by. Now unfortunately just at the

steed driven by a hardy delegate t i r j i e Josephine's evening recreation from the old Buffalo Street Railway Company, and which cleared the way so that the children might not be late for school. In some instances the ploughman would have to make a second and third trip, and on one or two occasions which we remem­ber, all efforts proved useless, and there was nothing to do but wait until the fury of the storm ceased.

As we look backward we think what unselfishness the family doc­tor displayed in breasting the storm to give relief to the sick. Driving in an open cutter shivering with

CAPRICORN If January 5th is your birthday,

the best hours for you on this date are from 7 a. m. to 8.45 a. m., from 1 p. m. to 2.10 p. m. and from 4.30 p. m. to 5.45 p. m. The danger per­iods are from 10 a. m. to 11.15 a. m. and from 7 p. m. to 8.30 p. m.

Influences would seem to make extreme inactivity in the business world on this date. Events and af­fairs in the social world, however, will move at a fast pace and will attain a high degree of hilarity and gayety. Weddings occurring on this date would seem to afford a good start to the wedded ones. News of a disconcerting nature may come from afar.

The child born on this January 5th will be inclined to be a cry­baby and whiner. See that he over­grows this. The child will be ex­tremely selfish and self-centered. It will have many petty ways, some of them very annoying. The child will in all probability have a splen­did mind. Taught to think prop­erly and along right channels, the youngster should have a fine future ahead.

If your birthday is on January 5th, you have much to be grateful for. Without being markedly strong-willed, you will all through life invariably get your own way. This is true regardless of the Tight­ness or wrongness of your desires, so you must concentrate on developing a wise and sane outlook on life, or you shall find your desires leading you into severe difficulties. You have a fairly good sense of values, but you must constantly strive to perfect it. You are highly intuitive. Often you surprise your friends by sensing their thoughts and wants, even before they themselves have consciously become aware of them. You are a naturally good person, and you know how to bring good into the lives of others.

Born on January' 5th, you should marry young. Your greatest spir­itual and mental development will come from having a congenial mate at your side to work and grow and expand in thought with you. Do not listen too much to the counsel of others. You are better judge by far of your own problems than any­one else could be. This does not mean that you should not profit from the experiences of other peo­ple. Do not let reverses of any sort slow you up—keep fighting and striving, for it is a good fight, worth fighting, and you will succeed.

and author. 3—Eugene W. Hilgard, scientist. 4—John C. Moss, inventor. 5—David Bispham, singer. 6—Herbert Bayard Swope, journalist.

was, the playing of a wheezy accord­ion, and the singing of hymns. Now hymns have their uses, but when two members of the family are ill unto death, it is NOT encouraging to hear a shaky female voice shriek­ing: "I Want to Be An Angel."

After two nights of it, our pater­nal parent blew up, and throwing all precautions to the winds, dashed to the top of the back stairs de­manding: "What in Sam Hill are you trying to do? Stop that yelp­ing!"

We understand that the irate solo­ist, not being able to throw the ac­cordion AT him, threw it across the kitchen floor, where It struck the range and nearly wrecked it. Jo­sephine preserved a martyred air fcr several days, until one and all of us, felt that of the two evils, the accordion was the lesser one.
