The sun is well up now, and the whole quiet spacious dale is stretchâ€" ed before us, gleaming in the fresh morning light. Where we stand is rough moorland, tufts of grass and rock and heather, rich browns and purples, sombre greens, rising and ainking in great massive swells, like huge waves of the sea. Black and white lapwings are already somerâ€" aaulting beside us, beating the ‘air n a wild ecstasy with their powerâ€" (u! wings, sbhrieking their queer high onely note as they swerve by. Far summers _ afternoon. _ The mounâ€" tains were clear of clouds; their white skirts and the jagged spurs of the glaciers, which lie between the poaks and pour down their clumsy billows of ice toward the head of the valley, were glowing with warm eunlight; warm and golden, the sunâ€" light lay _ upon the green slopes »round meâ€"golden upon the farther wide of the meadow below, where the peasants were gathering in their July «rop of hay, and golden upon the gush and vapor of the Dustfall,. A mountain girl, from a near cottage, in the hope of a few pennies, was ainging a plaintive Swiss air, whose echoes mingled pleasantly with the tinkle of the bells the kids wore, upon the cliffs above, and with the laint murmur of the stream trailing below.â€"From "Seven Stories With Basement and Attic,‘ by Donald G. Mitchell. C ©v say you cannot find a word The first time I made this from the vallevy of Tantarh ‘The opposite side of the valley does not change so suddenly _ into mountains. There are slopes, green or yellow as the season may be, with the little harvests which the mountain people raise; there are cliffs with wide niches in them, where you may see sheep or kids cropping the short herbage which grows in the shadow of the rocks; and there is a path zigzagging up from the road below, I scarce know how. : It would be very tiresome were it not for the views it gives you at every turning. Sometimes from un der a thicket of trees you look sheer down upon the bridge you have trayâ€" ersed in the bottom of the valleyâ€" #o near that you could toss your AL penstock into the brook. Someâ€" times the green of the meadow, and the sparkle of its stream are wholly shut out from sight, and you look straight across upon the Dustâ€"fall, where it leaps from the clifft abreast of you, and catch sight of its first whiver, before it is yet broken into #pray. As you mount still higher toward the plateay of the Oberâ€"Alp, the pretty valley you have left dwindles to a mountain chasm, over whose farther edge, the shimmering Dustâ€"fall seems only a bit of gauze aswaying in the wind. W as Extraordinary Rhymes d not be found for orange? There is not a prettier valley in Switzerland than that of Lauterâ€" brunnen. Whoever has seen 1t upon a fair day in summer, when the meadows were green, the streams full, and the sun shining upon the <rystal glaciers which lie, from the beginning to the end of the year, at the head of the valiey, can never forget it. 1 do not think it can be more than hbalf a mile broad at its widest; and in many places, 1 am sure it is much less. On one side the rocks, brown â€" and Jagged and tufted with straggling shrubs, rise almost perpendicularly; and a stream of water which comes from higher wlopes, far out of sight from below, leaps over the edge of the precipice. At first it is a solid column of water; then it breaks and spreads and way. ers with the wind, and finally in a rich veil of spray, reaches the surâ€" face of the mead of Lauterbrunnen, a thousand feet below. They call it, the Dustâ€"fall.

This is another hand of the type disâ€" cussed many times in these articles. Heartsâ€"8 Clubsâ€"Q, 10, 9, 8 Diamondsâ€"A, Q, 10, 4 Spadesâ€"K, 8, 7, 5 No socre, first game. What should Z, as dealer, bid with foregoing hand at either Auction or Contract? l Heartsâ€"none. Clubsâ€"A, J, 10, 7, 2 Diamondsâ€"K, Q, J, 9, 7, 5 Spadesâ€"K, 8 Auction Bidding: No score, first game. % dealt and bid one diamond, A bid one heart, Y one no trump and B two hearts. What should Z now do with the foregoing hand? Z% should unquestionably bid three clubs and force his partner to choose between clubs and diamonds. If Y has anything that looks like a no trump, Z should make game either in diamonds or clubs. In the actual play, Z bid two no trump and Y Z failed to make game while, at diamonds, they could have made five odd. With a twoâ€" suit hand of this type always bid both suits if you get the chance. Contract Bidding: At Contract, the bidding would be the same up to B‘s two beart bid. Z should then make a forcing bid of four clubs and thus command or force Y to try for game either in clubs or diaâ€" monds, the suit that best fitted his hand. Auction Bidding: No score, first game. % dealt and bid one spade, which A doubled. *Y passed, B bid two clubs, Z bid two diaâ€" monds. A bid three clubs, Y and B passed and Z bid three diamonds. A passed and Y bid three spades. What should B now do with the foregoing hand ? ___B should bid four clubs. A‘s double of one spade and subsequent bid of three clubs should indicate more than a fair chance for game. B‘s hand is much above the average and worth a. threeâ€"club bid, irrespective of A‘s double and raise. As a matter of fact.‘ A B could have made five clubs and game, but B doubled three spades and defeated the contract by only one trick. In the writer‘s opinion this double of three spades is unsound. Contract Bidding: The bidding at Contract should be the same. The following example hands have aroused considerable interest _ and much discussion. Decide upon the proper bid in each instance and then compare with the writer‘s analysis. Hand No. 1 â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" _ Heartsâ€"8 \ f YÂ¥ : Clubsâ€"A, Q, J, 7, 4 : A B : Diamondsâ€"7, 6 5, 2 f Z : Spadesâ€"K, Q, J ‘ During the course of a discussion at one of the New York Card Clubs the other night the writer made the stateâ€" ment that, in his opinion, an average player would lose from 500 to 1500 points in an evening‘s play at Auction or Contract, either by bad bidding or bad play or both. There was considerâ€" able difference of opinion so the writer suggested that a player of average skill be selected and that a record be kept of any bad bids or plays that he‘ might make during an evening‘s play.

The vine is a perennial, and once planted a regular production of rubber might be practicable. Propaâ€" gation methods are being studied to increase the supply of hybrid materâ€" ial, but none is available for distriâ€" tbition at present. ‘ Because the seed of the l;ybrid does not run true and produce the same type of plant as the hybrid itself, the ' The planting of Madagascar rubber vines as ornamentals is spreading rapidly in Florida, Arizona and Southern Caiifornia, says a recent bulletin from the department. The new hybrid rubber vine showed a rubber content between 4 and 5 per cent. in monthly periods of analysis, reaching nearly 7 per cent. in some cases. The vines of the parent species seldom yield more than 3 per cent. A hyirid rubber vine which yields twice as much rubber as either of its parents has been produced by the Unâ€" ited States Department of Agriculâ€" ture near Miami, Fla. It is a cross between two plants both native to Madagascar one long grown in Florâ€" ide as an ornamental, and the other naturalized in many places in Mexico and the West Indies. ‘ And this, in the light of the posâ€" sible result, seems about as strong an argument as ever gave rise to a superstition! "Be careful of lighting cigarettes in trenches. In the time that it takes to light three cigarettes from one match, enemy aircraft can comâ€" pute our location accurately enough to blow us all from the face of the earth." They quote a certain general in the Allied Forces as baving said durâ€" ing one partlcularl)l"lengthy siege: Some â€" attribute â€" its "backâ€"luck" abilities to the old "Curse of Three"; others declare that devils can be drawn by the sulpburous flame of A match burning for any length of time. The best explanation, bhowever, is that offered by a returned soldier from overâ€"seas quite convinced as to its validity, Where did it come from? It seems to be a comparatively new addition to the already imposing array of black cats, horseâ€"hairs and fourâ€"leatâ€" ed clovers that encumber the petty activities of our lives.

Z has bid two suits, spades and diaâ€" monds, and Y has showed preference for spades. ‘That probably ~1reans that he is short of diamonds and, if so, it is very necessary to lead trumps and thus try to prevent Y from trumping A‘s good diamonds. As a matter of fact, the lead of the spade is the only one that will deféat the contract. If A opens the club, Y Z will just make their contract. Note that Hands No. 1 and No. 4 were held by A and B as | partners. 1 No score, first game. Z dealt and bid one spade, which A doubled. Y passed, B bid two clubs, Z bid two diamonds.
