Mother Bear wasn't interested. "You

She led the way from under the
old windfall to the wonderful Great
World outside. Betty Bear crowded
close to her heels. Forgotten was the
spanking she had received She was
going out into that wonderful place
where there was so much to see. Mother
Bear led the way straight over to that
thicket where that twitching tail, that
shadowy form and those glowing eyes
had been.
Now" thought Betty Bear, per
haps III flnd that thing and play with
It," She was using only her eyes. She
had forgotten she had a nose. But
after all Betty Bear was very small
Bear and hadn't yet had reason to use
her nose. She didn't really know what
a nose was for, SO she could hardly be
blamed for not using It,
Mother Bear shifted about in the
thicket. Because Mother Bear did that
Betty shifted, too. A strange and most
unpleasant odor filled her nostrils. It
had queer effect. It made her sud-
denly afraid. She didn't know why,
but she was afraid. She crowded close
to Mother Bear and the hair on the
back of her neck seemed to be trying
to stand on end. Mother Bear growled
way down. deep in her throat. Betty
Bear tried to growl, too.
"You smell it, do you?" asked Mother
Bear.
"Yes'm," replied Betty Bear. "I smell
1t and don't like it. What is it?"
'It is the scent of Puma the Pan
ther, and he would gobble up little
cub like you the first chance he got If
he dared to. He was hiding here and
it was his tail you we're watching"
Then, Betty Bear remembered the
shadowy form she had seen, and
shiver ran over her small form and she
crowded still closer to Mother Bear
Remember that scent, and that 1t

husband is not to be trusted to answer
his own letters unless you want to
stamp yourself as jealous and unduly
exaggerating situation, which is
probably of no Importance whatever.
Whether it Is best that he answer
this particular letter or not depends
upon many details of which I have no
knowledge. But generally speaking.
while his not answering might mean
that he never received the letter, it is
quite as likely that this eX-sWeetheart
would interpret his silence as meaning
that he still is inclined to think of her
too personally to risk correspondence.
To write her a note that is amiably
casual in tone is the least interested
move he can make In general outline
for example: 1T was very nice to hear
from you I am glad to knew that
(whatever she told him)." Then add:
MY wife and I both enjoyed your de-

partner could only. over four clubs, bid
four no trumps 1t should be easier to
make four no trumps than five clubs,
with the lead likely to be red suit
coming up to its king, followed by
numerous discardS on one or both
black suits.
If, over four clubs, responder bids
four spades (showing a six-card suit !,
it would be fair risk to bid six, the
gamble again being on whether or not
you will lose trump trick to j x,
as well as losing to the missing ace
With K X in spades, do not hesitate
to slam in that suit on this bidding
If partner bids five spades over four
clubs, showing a second ace and also
six spades, seven spades would be the
bid with K and two aces and fine
club suit given above.
The new scoring schedule has greatly
increased the bonus for a grand slam
This justifies us in taking slightly
greater risks in these bids, and users of
the Sims system will hail the change
with delight, as we will be bidding them
with the chances in our favor, not
blindly because both partners had such
big hands" I feel that should devote
considerable space to this grand-slam
angle in all the normal bidding de-
velopments.
I believe our procedure is especially
logical and simple when the opening bid
is one no trump. whether or not that
bid conceals a long suit. The essen
tials are, as already explained, to locate
the aces and also to assure the suit fit
for the eventual trump declaration.
When each partner has a long suit,
both suits are solidified by the others
responses, and there is no ace against
the partnership, the grand slam in no
trumps Is best. When only one suit
fits, it is necessary to slam in that suit
so that the other suit can be cleared
by ruff1ng in case some discard is
needed in an off suit.
The easiest grand slams to bid under
my principles are those following an
opening forcing bid-a subject we have
not yet reached in these articles. The
next easiest are those resulting from
an opening no-trump bid, whether short
suited or with long solid suit, followed
by jump suit takeout by the respond
ing partner. Tomorrow we will ex-
anime some more slam hands.

Betty Bear Has a Lesson.
Ths lesson that in youth is spurned

Old Mother Nature.

miserable little heap in the
farthest corner of the den un-
L. der the great windfall which

abused and miserable little Bear in all
the Great World. She had been
spanked. Yes, sir, she had been
spanked. She had been cuffed little
before, but never had she been spanked
like that. There Mother Bear found
her.
"Betty Bear" said Mother Bear in
her deep, grllmbly, rumbiy voice. "do
you know why I spanked you?"
"Yesm," sobbed Betty Bear.
''Why?" asked Mother Bear.
~'Cause I went outside" whimpered
Betty Bear.
"That had something to do with 1t,
but it wasn't just for going outside.
It was for disobeying," said Mother
Bear. IF I hadn't told you not to go
outside and you had gone it would
have been different matter. But I
told you not to go out and you went.
That Is what I spanked you for. The
first lesson little Bears have to learn
ts to obey"
"Yes'm," whimpered Betty Bear.
do you want to grow to be great

"Oh, yes'm," replied Betty Bear.

The Old Gardener Says:

This Is an excellent time to
prune the shrubs which have just
finished blooming. II this work
Is left until later in the season
or until next Winter many of the
flower buds will be cut of and
blooming interfered with. It is
a mistake in any case to use the
pruning shears too freely. The
best plan is to cut out the dead
wood and perhaps a few of the
very old canes, this cutting being
done just above ground. If. how
ever a shrub has a heavy growth
of foliage at the top and Is bare
at the bottom hard cutting back
of all the canes is required in
order to force the production of
new wood nearer the ground.
Some shrubs, like lilies, sucker
badly and these suckers should
be removed except such as are
needed to renew the plants.

who seek to learn what will happen
before 1t actually happens, are now
caught on a three-horned puzzle-steel

~ Dividends Maintained.
While the steel corporation lost
money last year making steel, or from
actual operations, for the first time IN
its history, there are many sentimental
reasons why directors would like to
maintain the present dividend rate.
Not in the entire life of the stock, dat
ing from 1901, when the steel COR
poration was formed, has the company
ever tripped in its steady quarterly pay
ments of the regular dividend. More
over. when the company retired its
bonds in 1929, many former bondholders
bought the preferred shares because
they considered the preferred as good
as bond. 1t now ranks as the cor
poration's senior obligation, and the
management has shown that 1t wants
to keep the dividend record intact.

rate Is 81 year, making the total an.

The wage question is most difiicult
for the steel industry to solve. There

In recent weeks the steel price struc-
