JOs MENDI
By J. Edward Mccall

BY j. Edward MCCALL
Little prince of the chmpanzees,
Do you long for your jungle trees,
10 Mendi?
You earn your way at our city zoo,
Where thousands daily visit you,
And pay to see the tricks you do,
10 Mendi.
You are a comical, clever chap,
In shoes and overalls and cap,
10 Mendi
While men are seeking jobs in vain,
You strut about with your walking cane,
And ride on the miniature motor train,
10 Mendi.
You are so very humanlke;
You skate and box and ride bike,
10 Mendi
From the depths of your beady eyes,
A sage looks out in a strange disguise,
And laughs at men who think they're wise,
10 Mendi.
No worldly goods you hold or crave,
But men love gold, and for it slave,
10 Mendi.
A pennless man, like helpless child
May starve in cities where wealth is piled
Are cities as cruel as your jungles wild,
10 Mendi?

Contract Bridge
BY w. E. M'KENNEY
Secretary American Bridge League

GONE contract players appear to
~ think that when they are not
vulnerable the smart thing 10 dc
is to bid any suit they hold in order
10 interfere with the bidding of the
opponents. However, this generally
reacts in an unfavorable manner.
When the opponents. by their bid
ding. show that they hold strong
hands. it often pays 10 conceal your
suit. especially if the rest Of your
hand is very weak. Otherwise. the
bidding Of this may be the only
thing which will enable your oppon-
entS 10 arrive at the correct con-
tract.
This was brought out forcibly re-
Gently in the following hand played
in a tournament.
South, the dealer, started the con-
tracing with one club. West over
called with one spade, and North
showed the strength Of his hand
with a bid Of one no trump.
East should not bid diamonds
against a no trump contract he has
a very fine suit TO open. However,
several East players made the mis-
take Of showing the diamonds. and
here Is what happened.
After the bid of two diamonds,
South would bid two hearts. West
would pass. and now, from North's
hand IL looks as though his part
ner held four hearts and six clubs.
If South held two diamonds and a
singleton spade. slam contract
could be defeated.
East's bid Of two diamonds gave
North chance to make a very fine
cue bid. so he overcalled the two
heart bid with three diamonds-this

Of the upheaval.
These people land, realize what
has happened, and set to work to
build new society. The catch is
that there is Just one woman in the
crowd, and if the earth is to be re-
peopled it is strictly up to her.
Being a conscientious lass, she
accepts the nomination, and in the
next decade or so she takes as hus-

She has children, in plenty-but
they're all boys.

He finds another SURVIVOR girl
