The six types of highway illustrated in these
realistic dwarf-siZe replicaS include concrete

in the stimulation of the brick highway consist
of wooden blocks cut with circular saw which
was filed to an edge qualified to cut out tiny.
true-to-life brick. These blocks were then
painted the desired color and laid up in road
form.
The Typographical features Of these inter-
esting models are all designed from engineer
ing data of mythical highways and are made
on accurate scale ratios. They consist Of builtup
wooden frameworks covered with wire and then
filled in with plaster to the desired dimensions.
Small hand tools and the art of sculptoring
artistry were employed IN shaping these models
to the required contours. After this unique
work of making artificial terrain was completed
the models were painted with a mixture Of
paint and sawdust in order to develop the
essential surface texture.
Other models and pictures are replicaS Of
certain historical trails and roads in this coun-
try which have aided measurably in the de-
velopment of the Republic. The National pike,
the Boston Post road, Dan Boone'S wilderness
road, the Sante Fe trail to Mexico, the Oregon
trail and the notable old Mormon trail live
again In these exhibits.

bordering ornamental shrubbery and trees.
These imitation trees and shrubs are made OF
bits Of hemp and wire rope which have been
uncoiIed and unraveled to form pompons that
are colored appropriately to simulate trees
growing along the thoroughfare. The attrac-

carpet with unusually long pile which has been
processed with hot irons and painted in oil
to initiate grass of different varieties and

Nearby Gamers Rated High

THE tomato Gamers of Maryland and Virginia
came through the past seasons inspection
with flying colors, not one of the 400 canneries
having been found producing substandard goods.
The Federal requirements are strict and lay
down rigid rules as to presence of skins, blem-
ishes and other imperfections and set high
requirement for quantity of meats in a can.
Despite the fact that the hot early Summer.
with heavy rains later, cut the crop to the ex-
tent of about SO per cent, the price for the
finished goods was low Because of this low
price, no substandard goods were turned out,
for there would have been no market.

Getting the jump

General principles of sport psychology and
strategy apply to bridge well as to their other
games as pointed out by DR.. John r.. Gray in
an argument for an ace lead from three cards
headed by ace-jack against small slam suit
bid. THAT win put the declarer's back against
the wall" he says, and will expose the dummy
for me SO 1 will know better where to go from
there.'
Fielding H. Yost and 'Jawn' j. McGraw are
surely masters in their fields he adds. They
both try to score first and make the opponents
come from behind-often very rocky road"
Real experts, rule, will lead from an ace
jack combination against a small slam II the
suit is of Ave cards or more, to make sure the
ace doesn't get trumped; they are in doubt
when it is of four cards, but almost never lead
from it when it is Of only three cards. They
have learned that many a small slam has been
made when the lead of an ace in that situa-
ton enabled declarer to get two tricks with
king queen; refraining from leading the ace
would have held him to one trick with his
combination.
Continuing his sporting parallel DR.. Gray
foot ball, they aim to pull the defense out of
position" he says. Fine if they will come out.
but they can't win against smart player, for
he will not pull out of his regular position on
defense. Witness Paul Ford, great end of the
Olympic Club foot ball team of San Francisco,
whom Bob Shand rightly calls the end. He
never pulls out on trick formation, and many
times the trick crumbleS before his SINGLE
handed attack"
The chief difficulty is that good trick play
or bid in bridge doesn't look like psychic; II
it does, it isn't good one else isn't properly
tired.

CraftyMattens Of Many Types

THE narten is not single type Of animal,
] but is in fact species ranging from the
more common pine marten to the rare and
highly valuable Russian sable. The furs known
as marten and sable both come from members
of the same family.
They are found III the northern parts of both
the Old and New Worlds. The animals, tree
dwellers, are long and slim of body and short
of leg. They travel with great rapidity through
the trees, following regular highways" as do
the squirrels, leaping from branch to branch
and tree to tree. The pine marten is about the
size of an ordinary house cat.
The natural color of the marten is a deep
rich brown and the fur is long and soft. Be-
cause of their small size it takes quite num-
Der to make up a fur coat, with the result that
the expense is fairly high.
It multiplies rapidly when allowed to roam
at will and unmolested by human hunters. The
usual litter is of six kittens and these are
usually born and raised In abandoned nests OF
squirrels or woodpeckers.
The largest of the marten family is the black
marten sometimes called the black fox, pekan
or fisher. This often attains size Of two to
three feet with tail foot long, 1t is
cerocious fighter and is able to, and does, kill

it feeds upon squirrels rabbits, dead fish, chip

The hunter finds it clever animal which is
capable of sneaking bait out of traps without
being caught, and for this reason the capture
of the marten is difficult feat.

In a recent duplicate contest South at one
table started with one heart North made a
game-demand take-out of three clubs, South
bid three spades, North bid four diamonds,
South four hearts, North six clubs. 1t happens
that this contract can be made by careful play,
but South didn't dare leave it in with void
clubs, so shifted to six hearts, which West
doubled North then went to six spades, which
East doubled then South to six no trump.
which West doubled. spade lead set the
contract three tricks.
At the other table South started with two
hearts non forcing bid promising rebid oe
some kind if his partner could do anything
but pass. North knowing South would bid
again. gave a minimum response of three clubs.
South's rebid three spades. North showed
his protection in the one unbid suit diamonds
by calling three no trump. South indicates
his unbalanced distribution, and hence prefer
ence for suit play, with four hearts, virtually
compelling his partner to choose between hearts
and spades. The latter did so with four spades.
Five-odd were made.
The lesson to be learned from such hands b
that caution should be exercised when the early
bidding discloSes the fact that there is no suit
in which the hands fit well and there is not
safe no-trump distribution in either At such
time beware of slamitiS!

Truth

Truth
In all the partnerships of life
From childhood on through youth
To when we face our final strife,
The basis must be truth.
Unless the partners merit trust
And do the best they can,
Their hopes must crWnble into dust,
They can't achieve their plan.
But when In all their bids and plays
Each knows the others true,
They have q start toward winning ways
In anything they do.
LOATING Is poor etiquette. But
that is not all. 1t is also poor pol
icy. 1t doesn't pay.
In recent tournament OF con-
siderable importance one OF the less
prominent pairs had just scored an
unusually fine result against noted pair and
eloated to such extent that their beaten
opponents were made furious. AS the AVter
went to the next table they were upset and did
q poor job on the two hands played, handing
out fine present OF points. 1t happened that
those gift points were just enough TO enable
the benefciarieS to win the competition by
slight margin. In second place just barely
back of them were the players who had done
the gloating So the gloaters were beaten De
cause they upset the pair they had just over
core!
A good thing to bear in mind when playing
In any tournament is that the people you have
Just met become your partners as soon as they
leave you. 1t is to your interest to have them
do their very best against the others they meet.
If they can knock off" others wherever they
