Rebidding With a Void Suit Over| One No Trump. ©O not count a void suit as any | part. of a trick for your first | response.

He must now employ & mge e must encourage the slam by showing you one of his aces, both to affirm that he has two aces and also to tell you that if your spades is a void, that does not constitute a duplcation. Five clubs | Lord is his bid. Now you can safely slam in hearts. Dummy's losing clubs will g0 on the long diamond. A heart trick will be lost, but only (a) if the enemy have a heart holding which must yield them two tricks in that suit, or (b) if they have a guarded jack of diamonds, and the club finesse thereby rendered necessary proves unsuccessful, will the slam be beaten. Showing Three Aces. If the opener held 5 x e kxx B Aixs he should bid five no trumps over your four diamonds, to tell you that he has normal support, including a high honor, for both your suits, and three aces. The responding hand could now dis- pense with the cue bid and say six hearts; only Jf the enemy have two heart tricks can they defeat the slam, as a diamond can be ruffed if that sult fafls to break. .Delicate Inference. If the opener held 3 . A X x Ba%'e Bdiihx he must, over your four diamonds, bid four hearts as before. If you now make the cue bid of four spades, he knows that there is no duplication in that suit, and this strengthened heart support means no loser in either red suit if they break normally. However, you may have two little clubs and the singleton ace of spades, so five hearts is all he can bid. The responding hand can now count some losers. Partner’s failure to show the club ace over the cue bid means he can only have one-half trick in clubs. In diamonds he has only one trick, the ace. Therefore, opener must have two tricks in the majors; if he | holds A Q of spades and only the king of hearts, the slam will fail; but it is far more likely that he has king-queen of hearts. Possessing only a half trick in clubs, if he hold only Kxxor Q J x in hearts his hand must be A, | Wdaa Hts. K x X caQii0x (or@JIx) Surely with such spade holding, he . | would bid four no trumps over four diamonds. There is thus every reason the responder to bid six hearts, be lost. (Copyright, 1933.)

Me and pop and emy Junior was taking a wawk before sup- | per, and some man stopped going pass- ed to look at Junior, saying, That's not' | & bad little dog, and said, Thanks | for the compliment, mother ‘was | Lady Nickoteen and his father was gham Sprinter, and his grand- nts were Heatherway Dutchess and sdale Prince, if that means any- thing to you. O, very little, the man said. T'm quite a dog fancier, in fact I've ju%:’d haired foxes in a good many WS, SO that's why I stopped to look at this one. Of course a pedigree is all rite in its way, we've got to have breeding, but when it comes down to brass tacks a dog has got to stand on his own legs and his own ears and his own tale, he said. Well just offhand I should say it would take a pritty smart dog to do all that, pop said, and the man said, Now | about this dog of yours, if you asked my opinion I should say his hine legs are O kay but his front legs could be a shade thicker. His ears are a nice size but they have a tendency to fold back, and his tale could be a lot straighter, there's no_doubt about that, he said. Of course I say this quite impersonly, I mean I speak purely as a dog fancier, I have no doubt the dog has & dis- mpumon and all that sort of , he Quite, .quite, pop said. But then none of us are perfect, or at least very few. For instants take yourself. Your nose could be several degrees less pointy ppy dog your chin could be a few angles more decided, and your stummick line would be more esthetick if it departed a little from the convex and betook itself to the perpendiculer, he said.

Lepus Americanus. HERE is a vast difference between | a rabbit and a hare, but, to most people, they are the sam: animal. Jack rabbits and snow- shoe rabbits, so-called, are really hares, while swamp hares and ‘“cotton- tails” are true rabbits. Besides, the habits are very different. The varying hare is so called because of its habi: of changing its clothes to suit the sea sons. It is representative of a group of 12 species and subspecies. | A hare never makes a burrow but lives in a “form” above the ground. It is a home which is used by the mother and is lined with fresh leaves | and grass before her triplets are born. \bies with soft down at birth. Rabbits are makers of burrows or users of aban- other animals, and g?eni; young are blind and naked at Any one who has tried .to chase a hare will assure you that a rabbit goes a snail's pace compared with the swift- short ears, short legs, and are not able to maintain any speed long, whereas, the hare is long-l and swift- footed, and cannot ly make his get- away in record time, but can jump over low bushes, turn at right angles almost at top speed and keep up the gait. Few animals of America. are better known or have a wider range. The family is a prolific one, and in spite of the great loss among the young, it man- ages to hold its own. Bald and golden eagles take a heavy toll, and foxes, lynx, hawks and owls are ever on the | watch for the tiny babies, As soon as | the first children are able to take care | of themselves, they are left to their own devices, as the mother must get the nursery in order for the next triplets. During the Summer, the heavy hair | makes the animal seek cool places. | | The coat is a reddish-brown mixed with | | cinnamon, the underparts are white, and the ears tipped with black. As' soon as the cool weather comes, the | hare is a differens creature. It races | over the fields, and before the first | snow flies, its coat matches the white | flelds about it. Only the black tipped | | ears betray its presence. When it lies | down the shadow cast by the folded | ears makes the hare more like a mound | of snow than ever. ‘They are not provident or thrifty like | | the squirrel.
