As Nancy worked out the block she used a figured print, fast color of course, for the center square. Then she used another figure print for the lozenge or pointed end pieces. The other pieces | were of plain white and the four rec- tangles were of orange. As she told the club members, any color scheme could be worked out de- pending on the material on hand or on ! the color scheme wanted.

With this hand he should bid five spades over your four spades, accepting the slam try. Now bid six diamonds, and if partner bids six spades or six no trumps, pass, as _there is now an ace out against you. With all four aces the opener must at this point bid seven no trumps, knowing you cannot bid again. Selecting Both the Declaration and the Declarer. Had your partner held Sp. A 10 x Di. A Jx His.

With a club holding headed by A Q he should bid six no trumps so as to be declarer_and gain by an opening club lead. With clubs headed by A K, I think six spades would be the better decision in a rubber game, as there might be more elastic playing facilities for your two-suited hand in the ruit contract. In tournamert play. probably six no trumps would be the final decla- ration in either case because of the higher trick value.

THE EVENING NATURE’S CHILDREN BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. Hammer-Head Shark, Sphyrna Zygaena, HE hammerhead shark gets its name from its most unusual head. A large lobe is produced | on either side of the head and the alert eyes are placed on the extreme edges. The strange shaped | mallet head also acts as a bow rudder | and he uses it to descend quickly into deeper water. This fish is commcn | from the Mediterranean to Cape Cod, | Califcrnia, Hawali and Japan. Its! faverite food appears to be the sting- | ray. This indeed should make him of | special interest to us, as the sting-ray | is a bothersome fellow with his strong stinging tail to whip abcut in the water. | ‘The hammerheads grow to b: about 12 feet in lcngth. There are some | records of longer ones, but this seems to be the average length. The feeding | habits may be told by the structure of | the teeth and in the hammerhead you find very sharp teeth. The terrible bony stings from the sting-ray have been found imbedded in the tissue of the hammerhead’s mcuth. The mouth | of most sharks is placed on the under side of the head and in order to catch | its fooc and eat it musi turn on iis side. Squids, crabs and even barnacles are eaten by the hammerheads and | they have a habit of swimming about | with dorsal and caudal fins above the surface ‘The hammerhead, like many of its tropical relatives, loves the cocl waters to be fcund at Cape Cod. In the waters of Wcods Hole region, a few miles west of the cape, hammerheads have been caught in fish traps from July to Oc- | tober practically every year. These sharks are a gray to ashy brown cclor above and a paler brown 1t is not pes- about that nearly every one is familiar with them. In early Summer the Rammerhead gives birth to her yourg.

Sharks may be found in | all the seas. Most cf them are to be found close to the surface., but a few cf them cling to the lower depths. The tropics are the famous hunting grounds of most sharks, and they ascend certain | large rivers to spawn or give birth to ;lhmr young. There are, in all, about 150 species of sharks known.
