but stay in it until they are as large
as their parents and are very fat. When
they are at last ready to make their
own way in the world they go away
by themselves.
To catch a glimpse of a lone heron,
standing in a dismal swamp, Is to get
the true impression Of gloom, solitude
and sadness. Like all herons, 1t is the
most lonesome looking bird in the
world. The flight of the heron is slow
and solemn, but it is certainly stately,
over the great swamps or sea. Often
you may see the reflection In the clear
water below and realize how large the
bird is.
The great blue heron is four feet
long from the tip of his bill to the tip
of his tail and his wings are six feet
across. The sharp, lancelike bill is six
inches long, horn colored. The iris of
the eye is yellow. The center of his
crown and throat is white. while the
side Of the crown Is black, the coloring
meeting at the back of the head, where
the feathers form a crest. The back
is pale greenish brown and the feath-
ers OF the lower neck are narrow and
long. The wing coverts and tail are
slaty gray. His black feet are large.
The middle toe is used as comb and
napkin.
The heron is not singer. He has
no economic Importance other than
being very picturesque. The japanese
have long priced this bird for his
artistic value. They have made use of
him on their most exquisite panels,
paintings and china.

would bid diamonds Secondarily over a

That king of spades is a key card on
such bidding. I could stand for three

parently making
constructive rebid and also signing off
-disclaiming any hopes of game-at
the same time.
Is This a Contradiction?
No. it is not. This rebid of a fresh
suit is really a very Illuminating move
when judiciously employed. 1t offers
to the responding hand an opportunity
to resume some responsibility if his
hand was not minimum hand Of its
kind. The one-no-trump response
covers a fairly wide range-it may be
the merest chance-giver. or it may be
an evenly distributed hand which did
not contain a biddable suit and which
was not quite strong enough to justify
an immediate response of two no
trumps. The opening bidder is really
giving chance to the responder to cor
rect the pessimistic inference given by
his first response should his hand con-
tain distributed high cards which can
assume fresh importance in view of
the nature of the openers second bid.
If both major suits have been bid, the
responding hand should take an opti-
mistic view If able to support either
suit. Otherwise he merely shows his
preference.
Reasons for Not Mentioning q Second
Suit.
IF your hand is a minimum, and
your partners response Of one no trump
tells you that game is out of the ques-
tion, even If he has nearly enough for
two no trlmps, pass. Refrain from bid
ding that second suit. If you do bid
it, you are likely to get too high. If
your hand can stand the no trump. let
the signoh be in one no trump rather
than in two or perhaps three of one of
your suits. For instance, with (a)
III ats. A1o ok e oi. 1 10 S'1
you bid heart. If the response is
no trump, pass. Do not bid two dia-
monds as now If your partner bids
two no trumps you are in a jam. You
win have to bid three hearts, and that
viii probably land you in a fatal three
no-trump contract or in four diamonds
If the hearts are misfit. This hand
is probably no good for three no trumps,
even II your partner has the two black
aces and a second stopper in clubs. I'm.
less your partner can bid two no trumps
right away, or raise your hearts, the
hand offers slim hopes for game. 1t
should play all right in one no trump.
If the hand were (b)

I would. over a no trump, bid my
diamonds for safety reasons, as with
a singleton I do not wish to see the
hand played In no trumps. If my part
ner bid two no trumps, would have
to bid three hearts, as before. The
hand will play at least a trick better
In the suit he prefers than in no
trumpS, and my reasoning would be
that In getting the contract higher /

That tale, we do not believe-such

come from the fancy of an ancient
story teller who had run out of other
ideas. 1t is possible, however, that
tribute of some kind was paid to the
once-powerful King Of Crete.
About 80 years ago, men from Europe
visited Crete and discovered the re-

mains are known as the Palace of
Minos. The walls of the building were
destroyed long ago; but we may see

The Fleming family has been prom

the United States in every age and
generation and has produced men and
women of great achievements.
There we're several soldiers Of this
name with William the Conqueror
when he invaded England and estab-

They fought valiantly in the battle of
Hastings, and for their services were
awarded large tracts Of English soil.
They became powerful lords and were
masters of the barony of Slane Castle.
The Flenlings of Ireland descended
from Archibald Fleming, who crossed
over from England and settled in Ire
land in II73. The Fleming family also
flourished in Scotland in the Middle
Ages.
The English homes Of the Flemings
were in the counties of Bucks, HertS

suspicious of him. His boss doesn't

Maybe his wife and children, If he

for while.

be cured. I have known cynical, dis
dainful looking people who got over
1t, when they found it was injuring
their chances.
Just the fact that many people are
born to trouble as the sparks fly up-
ward Is no reason that they should
always look mean" Say what you

judged by their appearance at first

continuously pleasant, it will be hard
for them to gain any confidence or re-
spect while they journey through life.

As people, we are prone to judge
