ETTY BEAR was curled up in a miserable little heap in the farthest corner of the den un- der the great windfall which her home. She was whim- m‘m and miserable little Bear in all the Great World. She had been epanked. Yes, sir, she had been spanked. She had be?x; cuffed a little before, but never had she been spanked ke that. There Mother Bear found her. “Betty Bear,” said M Bear in| her deep, grumbly, rumbly voice, “do you know why I spanked you?” “Yes'm,” sobbed Betty Bear. “Why?” asked Mother Bear. “’Cause I went outside,” whimpered Betty Bear. “That had something to do with it, but it wasn't just for going outside.| Tt was for disobeying,” said Mother | Bear. “If I hadn't told you not to go | outside and you had gone it would have been a different matter. But I told you not to go out and you went. That is what I spanked you for. ’x‘he‘ first lesson little Bears have to learn to obey.” “Yes'm,” whimpered Betty Bear. grow to be a great big ki es’'m,” replied Betty Bear. '(Y)!ul‘u ’nem wtf]p it don’t mind,” ot | thicket where that twitching tail, that She felt that she was the most | «|ther, and he would gobble up a little Conquering Contract | partner could only, over four clubs, bid | | four no trumps. It should be easier to | | make four no trumps than five clubs, | with the lead likely to be a red suit coming up to its king, followed by [numerous discards on one or both black suits. | If, over four clubs, responder bids four spades (showing a six-card suit), it would be a fair risk to bid six, the gamble again being on whether or not you will lose & trump trick to J x x X, as well as losing to the missing ace. | With K x x in spades, do not hesitate | |to slam in that suit on this bidding. | If partner bids five spades over four clubs, showing a second ace and also six spades, seven spades would be the bid with K x x and two aces and fine club suit given above. The new scoring schedule has greatly increased the bonus for a grand slam. This justifies us in taking slightly greater risks in these bids, and users of the Sims system will hail the change with delight, as we will be bidding them with the chances in our favor, not blindly because “both partners had such big hands.” I feel that I should devote considerable space to this grand-slam angle in all the normal bidding de- velopments. I believe our procedure is especially logical and simple when the opening bid is one no trump, whether or not that bid conceals a long suit. The essen- tials are, as already explained, to locate the aces and also to assure the suit fit for the eventual trump declaration. When each partner has a long suit, both suits are solidified by the other’s responses, and there is no ace against the partnership, the grand slam in no | trumps is best. When only one suit | fits, it is necessary to slam in that suit | so that the other suit can be cleared | by ruffing in case some discard is needed in an off suit. ‘The easiest grand slams to bid under my principles are those following an opening forcing bid—a subject we have not yet reached in these articles. The next easiest are those resulting from an opening no-trump bid, whether short | sulted or with a long solid suit, followed | by & jump suit takeout by the respond- ing partner. Tomorrow we will ex- amipe some more slam hands. (Copyright, 1933.)

Mother Bear led the way straight over to that “You shadowy form and those glowing eyes had been. “Now.” thought Betty Bear, “per: haps I'll find that thing and play with it.” She was using only her eyes. She had forgotten she had a nose. But Bear and hadn't yet had reason to use her nose. She didn’t really know what & nose was for, so she could hardly be blamed for not using it. Mother Bear sniffed about in the thicket. Because'Mother Bear did that Betty sniffed, too. A strange and most unpleasant odor filled her nostrils. It had & queer effect. It made her sud- denly afraid. She didn't know why, but she was afraid. She crowded close to Mother Bear and the hair on the back of her neck seemed to be trying to stand on end. Mother Bear growled way .down. deep in her throat. Betty Bear tried to growl, too. “You smell it, do you?” asked Mother Bear. “Yes'm,” replied Betty Bear. “I smell it and don’t like it.

The Old Gardener Says: This is an excellent time to prune the shrubs which have just finished blooming. If this work is left until later in the season or until next Winter many of the flower buds will be cut off and blooming interfered with. It is a mistake in any case to use the pruning shears too freely. , The best plan is to cut out the dead wood and perhaps a few of the very old canes, this cutting being done just above ground. If, how- ever a shrub has a heavy growth of foliage at the top and is bare at the bottom hard cutting back of all the canes is required in order to force the production of new wood nearer the ground. Some shrubs, like lilies, sucker badly and these suckers should be removed except such as are needed to renew the plants, (Copyrisht, 1933.) ATURE’S CHILDREN WOMEN'’S FEATURES.

These bass grow to a great size and | are known in almost all parts of the world as jewfish—why, no one appears to know. They are dark-green in coler, have a slightly rough scale, are thick- | headed and have ravenous appetites. A close relative to this fish is the Jsp-‘ anese ishinagi. The West Indies have one, as also has Mexico. The black grouper is the well known jewfish of Florida. Another close relative is the | red grouper, rarely weighing over 50 | pounds.

In the Bay of Florida you find & handsome spotted jewfish in barely enough water to swim in. Its color pat- tern is so like the muddy bottom on which it rests that it escapes your no- tice at first. When the water is clear and the sun blazes down upon the fishes, they become an easy target for the expert harpoon-throwers. These are solitary in their habits and are a never-ending source of danger and dis- may to the smaller fish about them. The spotted jewfish of Florida has s JEW-FISH —— broad head and back.
