One land will play vejl and the next one feftrflv; that is, on one hand you will g«t all the "breaks," and on the next, fcverything will go wrong. It is a game of such infinite variety that no player car ever hope to master ail its quirks and turns. Even the best of players lose their judgment at times and allow their own hand to influence their bidding to their disadvantage when they should realize that their partner has mn unusual or freak hand. The other night, the writer noticed two examples :/$ this failure to be cm the lookout for the unusual or freak type of hand. / ;*VcriQN' BIDDINGS :&&}:• Hearts -* Av 7 -•« Clubs -- A, 9, 4r 2 . • Diamonds A, Q,fj/8v! ..... Spades.-- A, K, 4 jBJd one no trtimp. Second hand passed and the dealet's partner bid two heart* Fourth hand passed and the dealer bid two no trump. When his partner bid three hearts, the dealer failed to realize that, if his partner had a justifiable three-heart bid, they had a sure game in hearts and bid three no trump, although there was no sure game in no trump. The 100 Aces were too much lor his judgment and, as a result, he Vent down three tricks undoubted, a net loss of 50 points on a hand that would have scored game at hearts. His partner's hand was as follows: ' Hearts --Q, J, 10,9,6,4* Clubs -- Q, 6, 3 j Diamonds --j40, 9, 7 Spades- I - Don't allow 100 Acestoimpair your lodgment. , CONTRACT BIDDING: The dealer should bid two ho trump, (Bid his partner four hearts. The same player made a similar • error on tne following hand; Hearts -- A, Q, 10 Clubs -- none t Diamonds -- A, Q, 10, 9, 6 AUCTION Wt5T3T^fc: His partner dealt and passed, second hand paissed and he bid one spade., When his partner overbid with two clubs, he correctly bid two diamonds. His partner bid three clubs and he bid three diamonds. This bid is doubtful but, when his partner bid four clubs, he should certainly have passed; He never stopped to realize that such . bidding by his partner indicated a most unusual* hand, one of the frealc type, and that his high cards in three suits would be of great heljj to his partner and that his partner's clubs would be of little value to his own • hand, if he should obtain the bid at', diamonds or spades. In spite of all these cogent fcasons, however, he bid four diamonds and all - passed.. His partner's hand was as follows: ,f ; Hearts-- 8 . Clubs - A, Q, L 10, % 7, 5,4,2. IMamojids"--8, 7 • • Spades -- 3. :• At clubs, they could haVe made fivil odd, losing only one club and one diamond trick, while at diamonds they went down two triclcs. It is av fine example of what not to do with a big -- hand. Play for the game, first, last and all the time, whether the hand is played by yourself or your partner. Always be ,t willing to concede the bid to your - partner when the bidding indicates % that he has a freak hand. In the hand just considered, the dealer could have -- saved a lot»of trouble by making an original bid of five clubs. It is a perfect exarpple of the pre-emptive or shutout bid. If the bid fails, it will certainly save game, so that in either event it is a winner. ' vv:' CONTRACT BIDDING: Pass, pass, one spade, pass.' Five clubs and all should pass. An original five clubs with the above hand is bad because partner may try for a slam. Pass in the first instance, but then bid the full strength of your hand on the second round. As a contrast to his bad bidding, the player whose bids have just been criticized played the following hand very cleverly: " ' • • ' -J Twice Told Tales Items of Interest Taken From - the Files of the Plaindealer -Years Ago V TEN YEARS AGO A horned owl was shot by Georgi Ellison near his home west of Hebron one morning1 last week.

In some places the sugar .companies have recourse to digging pits to store the beets until cars 'can be obtained to load in. * Z, the player in question, was playing the hand at three no trump. A opened the five of clubs. Z won the , trick with the king and led four rounds «-t©f hearts, winning the last heart in Y's hand. B discarded two diamonds on the last two rounds of hearts. Z was now in a position where he could make . two odd, but figured that if he could force B to make another discard, he plight possibly make three odd by "• tnaking three diamonds or two spades. . At trick six, therefore, he led Y's ten « T d u b s , f o r c i n g A v . t t f t r i c l ^ who thereupon led two more rounds of clubs. B was now forced to make another discard. He could have discarded either a spade or diamond. If the former, Z would discard a diamond and make two spade tricks. If the latter^ Z would discard a spade and make three diamond ^tricks. It is a perfect example of the - 'squeeze" play. Study the play of this hand carefully, for it was cleverly thought out. It is very unusual to win a game by leading your opponent's suit.

The wasp lives by preying on spiders. • Among many peculiar characteristics, Mother Wasp believes in keeping her realty In the family, so she places, an unhatched egg in her new apartment. Then, having obtained nine points of the law by possession, she goes after a delegntion of spiders to keep, the egg company. Mother Wasp, having provided the egg witfr a delegation, seals up the apartment and covers its top with a few rough dabs of masonry. • The egg, now sealed In a!6 airtight chamber, is provided with the three things that are necessary for its development, foot], moisture and feclar energy, all of wTTich at e supplied by the delegation of sleeping spiders. Finally, when the egg has hatched and becomes a hungry larva, the spiders fall prey to it# voracity. Thirty spiders appear to be enough to'convert $he larya into a pupa and finally into a imago, two stages of growth out of five where a wasp is unable to eat spiders and flies. The imago stage is the last Jbefore maturity, and the young wasp soon passes through it, when it moistens the walls of its apartment by a fluid poured from, its mouth, and gnaws its way out. --Magazine^- Section" of the Louisville Courier-JourniH. / VOLO How-Mushroom May Be Employed as Barometer "The poor man's weatherglass" is a mushroom, so named because it' is so sensitive to changes in the moisture of the air that.it serves as a barometer. It grows i'n woods, sandy plaees, and On partly cleared land. As it develops, the two. outer Coats of the puffball containing the spores split into segments, but remain united at the top of the ball. The twolcoatings vary in composition and do not absorb moisture in the same degree. The result Is that in wet weather or when there is considerable moisture in the air the segments >tand out from the plant. In dry weather the Inner layer contracts more than the outer and causes the segments tb curve in sharply. Because of their habit of splitting into starlike segments this group of fungi is known ns the earth stars, and Geaster hygrometrlcus is known both as the barometer earth star, and as the poor man's weatherglass. The puffball mushrooms are not poisonous. "How to Tell Real Pearls ^ In chemistry, X-ra.vs have found many uses.
