SUMMERTIME
II FANNY Z. CoaY.
BY d. C. PEAfTTI.

A LII this month the planets Mars
and Jupiter have been getting
closer and closer. Early in the eve
ming they appear high In the Western
sky Is the most brilliant luminaries
that have been seen In our skies for
. long time. Golden Jupiter. ruby
Mars they are as superb as two enor-
nous jewels set side by side in ring;
! have even been asked recently If they
were not going to get too near each
other"l No such thing Is possible. Of
course; the distances that the planets
keep from each other IS predeter-
mined by Astronomical laws; If these
two, planets distances from each other
were represented by the distance be-
tween the White House and the Capitol.
then the moon Is as close to US as midge
swarming around ones head. And even
the moon Is not too near; 1t Is near
enough to be held In our grasp, but not
to be pulled down to earth. Indeed,
II the night is clear you can. while
Jupiter and Mars are SO close together,
see . thrilling astronomical sight or
dinarily denied to Us. You can ac-
tuAlly zee that Mars, though 1t looks,
and Is, much smaller, Is closer to us
than the bigger Jupiter: it may not
appear % at frst: but gaze fixedly at
the two planets for 80 seconds and you
will be able to see to feel. the sense
Of space Il had almost said "atmos-
phere") between the two, with Jupiter
FAR behind. but, obviously in the same
line Of vision. .
OF course, all the stars are so placed,
ut varying distances. like lamps hung
ON chains Of different length, but ow-
ing to THAR immense distance We can't
feel Il. Thus the oonstellation of Orion
appears to Be . man-Shaped pattern
In which all the stars are on the same
plane. The brightest star in the con-
stellation mot now visible) Is Betel-
geux, which Is 200 light years away.
Much less bright. apparently. IS Rigel.
ut the toe Of Orion. which Is 500 light
years away. Betelgeux Is 1900 times =
bright As our sun. But Rigel, which
is $4,000 times as bright as our sun.
Out there In unthinkably distant
space burns Q sun OF, size and brilliAnce
and heat and speed thAt are awful TO
contemplate. In short, beyond . very
limited distance one star leaks - far
on q another; our minds too, cannot
Hr1sp real distance. Beyond . trillion
or Quadfilltoa Of miles yess hANA no
words In the Language to express dis
tance In miles, for our minds ceAse
working, our senses cease feeling. Just
70 the ant can see an inch, two. three,
perhaps six inches; beyond that all is
. blur and quite unthinkable; all he
knows Is the direction and intensity
and color Of light; we are In just the
same case. II you think In terms OF COS
mic space.
The planets, our brothers and SIS
ters, are Just near enough 20 that BY
putting our minds on 1t we can see,
We can feel the sense Of the relative;
distance between them and between
us and the moon and the sun. 1t gives
one . comforted. . honey feeling, to
see in the sky other children Of the
sun like ourselves, and to find that
they are more varied and more beauti-
full in our eyes at least. than all those
distant, huge and terrible suns.

Conquering Contract
BY P. HAL SIMS

your partner responds with Z suit take
out, this hand looks good for slam;
but II he bids two no trulnps. should
you sign OF at three or invite slam
by bidding four no trNmpss
Assume that your partner has two
and one-half tricks and Wtll therefore
accept. With al these tenaces the
slam must plainly be bid IN no trumps,
to get the lead up to your hand and
keep your holdings concealed In the
play. even II responder bids spades.
In what form can he hold these tricks? ?
They must consist Of the kings OF
hearts and clubs and ace-queen OF
spades. Imagine that he has
as.. ss; Ash q! 81. KK111
which is very favorable arrangement
of his cards. To make six no trumps
the following things have to happen:
First. You must win the diamond
dnesse.
Second The diamonds must be 81,
or your highest In dummy must be the
ten or nine, so that II you win the
finesse but do not drop them all In
three leads. that fourth diamond viii be
high
Third. II both these chances come
on. your spade finesse will be for seven;
but If you cannot discard q spade on
the third club. as would be the case
If the diamond holding were and
the clubs K x x. winning the diamond
flnesse would still leave the slam de-
pendent on the spade finesse. When
two blind illnesses must be successful,
slam is a very bad risk.
The Key-Card Is Too Obscure
The key-card which your partner
must hold Is the jack Of spades. and
you cannot locate its presence or abb
sence by any bidding procedure. You
can rely on the responding hand for
the king of hearts and clubs and for
ace-Queen Of spades: but unless his
spades are A @ ], slam requires q 3-3
spade division. A diamond trick may
not have to be lost because the jack
can possibly be discarded on a fourth
heart or club. Even If no discard Is
possible, there will be a f1nesse against
the diamond queen. The danger Is in
the spade suit, especially II the partner
not to lose more than one spade trick
if you lose the finesse. and will lose 4
spade even If you win the hnesse.
Moreover. with four spades In his hand,
your partner is unlikely to be able to
furnish you a means Of discarding your
jack Of diamonds. That Is. the slam
would depend on two chances: losing
only one spade and losing no diamond.
The slam-try is therefore . poor risk
on these cards. Partner should have
been able to bid three no trumps on
his frst response for slam to be .
probability. On the bidding we have
assumed, openers hand should include
Xxx in spades to make the slam
try advisable. In that case his dia-
monds could be only A K K. Opener
may still hope to shed the small dia-
mond, and is now unlikely to lose more
than one spade whether the finesse Is
successful or not.
Mr. Sims will answer all inquiries on con-
tract that are addressed to this Newspaper
with self-addressed, stamped envelope.
