 Most of it." Ted answered for his father. They know you too well to pay any attention to this tale. They'll be with you.'
 "I don't want them to know about it." his father answered.
 But they would help you,' Mrs Merryman suggested.
 Nancy's words were coming back to Sue She could almost hear the deep, flowing voice with the hidden music and slash of color. Don't ever give up trust in anyone. Remember that there are times when everyone of us hovers at the edge of the precl- pice and we would love to take q fling. well, just to take fling.
 But not her father! Never, nev- CT. never! But were the Beckers so sure of that? They had to be! She would make them be. She would tell Jack and he would explain.
 The family talked then as though the whole thing was practical joke that had gone too far; wrong that was as certain to be righted as the alarm was to go off at seven o'clock the next morning. But there was a sense of foreboding in all their words, lightly as they said them.
 Are you sure you've told us every thing?" Mrs Merryman's clear tones pierced the yelled surface at last. NEXT-Furthcr explanations a,id an action.

to win with the ten spot. Declarer would then lead the king of spades, forcing South's ace. All South could do now is to cash his two good diamonds, and North and South would only have taken three diamond tricks, the ace of spades and the ace of clubs, allowing the declarer to make two no trump.
 The proper play would have been for North to have opened his own suit. When he bid hearts, his part ner supported him and as he is weak in diamonds he should open the seven of hearts, his own suit. South would play the jack and now the declarer is helpless to stop North and South from winning four heart tricks. a diamond trick. the ace of clubs and the ace of spades. or seven tricks in all. By opening his own suit, North has defeated declarer's contract two tricks. So remember when weak in partners suit and partner has supported yours. open your own suit against a no trump dec- laration.

COLGATE GRID STAR
 GIVES COACH CREDIT

East Aurora. N. Y., (UP).-
 Leonard Macaluso of Colgate, leading 1880 scorer and generally an all-American choice for a full back berth. attributes his football success to hard work during the va cation period and the teachings of Head Coach Andy Kerr.
 Kerr, however, disagrees with half of this belief. He said that every thing that Macaluso Is to-day, both as man and n football player, he owes only to himself
 Macaluso devoted last summer to road construction work and pitching hay to get himself into condition. He said this hardened his body so that he was able to buck a forward wall without a single injury during the season.
 "I worker on road construction job last summer and think that. along with Coach Kerr's teaching. was the main factor in my success. Macaduso said.

They tell us that there is no such thing as a nervous" child. And 1 believe 1t to be true in certain sense, but 1t all depends on the mean ing we take out of the word.
 If there is not actual nervousness there are mental and emotional dis trrbances that amount to the same thing. Also there is such a thing as using up that vaguely defined thing called "reserve". and when that Is gone the nerves of young children are likely to play all sorts of tricks.
 A great deal of so-called misbeha. vior Is a result of this very thing.
 Now 1 don't know whether or not children are more nervous than of ycre. but heart symptoms do seem to be on the increase. bodies seem to have less endurance. and other signs of q letting down of the race are con spicuous. 1T it were not for increased care and intelligent handling of ba- bies and young children unknown to

 Modern Life to Blame
 That 1t is due to less fresh air, re- duced exercise and the general pell- mell of existence, there can be no doubt. We need all the intelligence and medical skill we can muster now to offset the artificial manner of pres ent-day living.
 But there Is something else we can do for the children that 1 believe to be the panacea for almos. everything We can make them rest and see that they get the proper amount of sleep.
 There Is tendency to be strict and methodical with q baby's care until he is years old or so. then t, let down. Perhaps we watch the clock until he Is even 3 or 4. then perhaps there is younger baby anu we get busy on him. The older chii- dren are started right, we decide. and they can shift very well for them selves.
 They find themselves without schedule and take advantage Of 1t as children will.
 Up all evening till the grownups go to bed. Even if they are in bed there may be too much noise in the house for them to sleep. Again 1t may be a hit-and-miss affair: In bed two nights at 2 or 8 and the next two up until dear-knows-when, depend- ing on the convenience Of the house. hold.
 Arrange Sleeping Schedule A sleep schedule Is as important for a child of 10 as 1t is for a baby of 6 months. And nothing should in- terfere. Evening excitement keeps a child either out of bed or away from sleep once he is in.
 His room should be comfortable and airy, cool but not cold. Sleeping bags made out of blankets are fine things for children these cold winter nights l Some children cannot sleep in pitch darkness If you discover this | to be the case see If a dim light can- not be diverted from the hall or bathroom.

The Bidding


 South started the contracting with one diamond. At auction some play CTS with Vests hand would bid one no trump. but at contract the double Is better as 1t shows partner at least three and one-half high card tricks. North bids one heart. informing his partner he holds one and One-half high card tricks. East would pass. South would carry his partners bid to two hearts. West now boldly tries two no trump. which closes the contra citing.
 The Play If North were now to open his partners suit. the i've of diamonds. South would be forced to play the queen, which the declarer would win with the ace. DecIarer would then start his club suit, which North would eventually have to win. North would then continue with the three of diamonds. which South would win with the king.
 South would set up two good diamonds in his own hand by lead ing q small diamond. forcing West

It is rather unusual to find the declarer bidding no trump when his opponents have bid two different suits, but an example of this partic- ular type of hand Is given below. In the article dealing with leads against no trump declaration when part ner has bid, the first exception to leading the top of your partners s suit stated that If your partner sup ported your suit and you are weak in his, you should open your own suit.
