The shark Is dangerous to meet
Whenever he desires to eat,
And devious methods he employs
To capture little girls and boys.
II ever you go ont to swim,
DeaP children. have an eye on him,
And do not use the ocean much
II you would keep your legs and such.
The piumpcst urchins he admires
And OF their sisters never tires,
For where delicious calves abound
He's always noticed hanging round.
You'll know him by his rakish I'm
And by his most expansive grin,
But Il is best 10 view his smile
AT, say, the distance Of a mile.
Don't think he's good because lac preys
And has so many taking ways.
And don't imagine he's "A fool
Because he sometimes leads a school,
Perhaps while walking on the strand
A shark will take you by the hand,
For nftentimes you'll see a shark
That hunts above high water mark.
And when his mouth Is opened wide
Don't pause to wonde what's inside
Nor finger, like Red Riding Hood.

T T has often been observed that n
partners silence may be- as in
formative as his bids. yet 1t is
remarkable how little attention seems
to be paid to the partners silence
when he has passed up tho oppor-
tunity TO make a free bid.
II the average strength for n free
bid is four tricks, a player who passes
should not DO relied on for more than
two or three, and may not have any.
How many should his PARTNER have to
Justify them in undertaking a con-
tract to win nine or ten?
This computation does not seem to
BIO entered into by even the best play
crs. One continually sees a bid on
five tricks at the most. which will re-
qulre five more in the dummy to SO
game in spite Of the fact that the
prospective dummy has passed with
out a bid
There are two principal situations
In which this thoughtlessness in de-
claring continually occurs. One Is in
bidding no trumps third hand on aver
age cards when the dealer and second
hand have both passed. zone may even
see such n bid when the dealer has
passed and second hand has made a
bid.) The other is doubling a bid made
by second hand when the dealer has
not made a bid of any kind,
What is the philosophy of calling
on a partner who has already declared
himself with less than four tricks 10
produce four or five in play? on what
| grounds is he expected to develop :
strength that is incompatible with n
passing hand?
To double an original no-trumper
asking a partner who has yet TO speak
and who may have a very fine suit OF
some kind. is one thing. To double =
~no-trumper bid by second hand, fore,
ing the dealer to pick out a suit that
will win the game against it, is some
thing else. Take this case:

sale at price which assured that it
would be seen everywhere by any one
who could afford ten cents and the
war tax, he was engaged by Goldwyn
as leading man for Mae Marsh in "The
Cinderella Man." In the critical re-
views of this production published in
the newspapers and motion picture
magazines Tom Moore's work did not
escape notice. In some he was awarded
equal honors with the star.
