when
Short Suited Responding Hand Can
Decide for or Against Grand Slam.
For the responder to be able to mark
In his partners hand the high cards
needed for a grand slam, knowing that
khe opener could not bid two no trumps
originally, you will find that it is in the
FIRST place necessary for this player to
hold three tricks in a form which rules
but an immediate slam-try response of
three no trumps over one no trump.
You will remember that this jump raise
must not be made without two aces or
bne ace and a king-queen holding. in
e hand containing three primary tricks.
The fact that he has, on account OF
what may appear to be f1nicky tech
nicaity, underbid a three-trick hand
ON the first round may enable the
responder to visualize the material for
b grand slam when his partner makes
q slam try o1er the first minimum re-
sponse. In other words the playing
handicap inflicted by lack Of suit length
may be overcome when opener has an
actual slam Sry and responder would
have had one but for this particular
stipulation regarding the immediate
timing factor as represented by def
mite first and second round control.
This sounds rather complicated, but it
Is really quite simple when you see the

If you hold

and your partner bids . no trump.
your response must be only two no
trumps, not three, because, although
you have IN ace, you lack . second ace
or q king queen combination. Suppose
that your partner surprisingly bids four
no trumps over your minimum raise,
thereby showing five primary tricks
You can name his primary values with
in one card. They are practically the
only ones missing. Let us visualize
them as arranged In the most unfa-
vorable manner:

and you can see that grand slam is out
of the question, though small slam Is
certain unless you have to lose two
heart tricks. For a grand slam IN
hearts or no trumps you need your part
ner to hold in addition the queen OF
hearts. If he held that card together
with the others located in his hand, he
would have had an original two no
trump bid. Therefore, If he holds this
card, either he lacks the queen OF clubs
bringing another loser into view, or his
spade holding is not headed by the
king, but justifies his strong bidding BY
consisting Of four cards. 1t should be
no worse than Jxxx. Consequently
you must sign off at six no trumps un-
less your partner bids six hearts over
your five no-trump acceptance Of his
slam try. In this event you should pass
in rubber play, but bid six no trumps irl
match play. Seven hearts, however. Is
out of the question as you must expect
to lose a spade trick even If you win
the finesse against the king. 1t is true
that he now appears to have four OF
each major suit. so that his hand will
get discard; but what use will that be
If he can only throw spade from
XXX? You will find that in spite OF
your three tricks, it is almost impOs-
sible for you to figure out q feasible
grand-slam hand for your partner
which would at the same time call for
mere one no-trump opening bid and
also justify the four no-trump slam try
Yours is not the type Of hand for
grand-slam development on this bid

As DR.. Forester Brown points out,
q markedly overweight patient may get
relief when his weight has been re-
duced; corn or dirty mark on the
inner ankle bone is a sure sign that
the inner side OF the heel bone is re-
ceiving the weight of the body instead
of the outer side Bending of the big
toe toward the outer side or away from
the center may be due to short stock
ings or shoes; Corns on the under sur
face of the foot mean that the bones
of the sole of the foot are down too
low. as they should be punched up"
not touching the floor or ground.
You can thus see that the treatment
Of painful or incompetent" feet
doesn't mean simply using a pair of
arch supports The feet should be
looked after by a specialist who will
remove the reason for the trouble and
prevent its returning.
There should be lots Of room for the
toes in the shoes. Exercises, such as
picking up marbles with the toes and
heel walking, are useful. Strapping or
a felt pad may raise the bones Of the
sole Of the foot, and prevent corns or
callouses.

At the same time he didn't forget
that Mother Bear very likely was some

And then Mother Bear came crashing

TT is from love-that the greatest
courage springs and there = no
love like q mothers love. So IN the
i Green Forest and on the Green
Meadows 1t Is almost always the
mothers who rush to the rescue Of babies
in trouble and are first to answer the
cries of fright.
Betty Bear was at the top Of tree,
just as far up as she could get, ana
she was bawling as only badly fright.
ened cub can She wanted mother and
she wanted her at once, for down at the
foot of that tree was a strange two
legged creature who had chased her out
of the berry patch. It was Farmer
Browns Boy, who had started berrying
very early that morning. Having flleo
one pail, he had set 1t in the shade OF
bush while he went of to MI another.
On his return he surprised Betty Bear,
who had tipped the pail over and was
greedily gobbling the berries q fast a.
She could. She had made for the near
est tree, he after her. Up this she nAo
climbed like a squirrel. Having reached
the top and regained her breath, she
bawled for mother.
Now Mother Bear was some distance
away. She had found q place where
the berries were very plentiful and was
engaged in stripping them into her
mouth. not u1tnding at all the twles
and leaves that went with them. SO
occupied with this pleasant occupation
was she that she gave no heed to any
thing else. It was only when at last
she paused in her pleasant occupation
to draw q long breath Of complete sat
isfaction that her ears picked up
faint sound that caused her to sit up
straight and listen. It was Betty Bears
voice, faint but unmistakable. She was
in trouble Of some sort. There was no
doubt about that.
Nov what mischief has that young
ster gotten into?" she growled, way
down deep in her throat. 7 can't even
get a good meal In peace. I never saw
such a youngster for getting In trouble.
If she had kept with me she wouldn't
be baWling for me now. What she neeoS

She listened q moment or two longer.
"She isn't hurt but she Is badly fright

who can be making her bawl like that?"

roaming about that morning she had
run across traces Of other Bears in that

rage at the mere thought and she

through the brush and leaped over

one so big and clumsy looking.

do. He had once had q Bear cub for
