A reader of our column takes
exception to Mrs. Lucille Mann's
statement that the male and te-
male BETA, the fighting fish OF
Siam, do not fight each other.
He tells us that he has bred
bettas for some years and has
found that not only do the male
and female fight, but that two
females will mix it up if left
alone.
His letter gives us number
Of other interesting bits OF in
formation on the BETA.
Nest of Bubbles
He tells us that the male
beta builds the family nest, a
mound of bubbles on the sur
face of the water. When the
female is ready to spawn the
male goes to the surface and
takes in a gulp of air.
This he releases in bubble
which, covered with a secretion
from his mouth, retains its
shape on the surface Of the
water. Hundreds of similar
bubbles are piled up, forming
the nest into which the eggs
will be placed.
When the female is ready to
spawn the male squeezeS the
eggs from her and then care
fully picks up each egg in his
mouth and places it in the bub-
BILE incubator. 1t is when the
eggs are in the nest that he is
most savage.
Male Guards
The eggs are carefully watched
by the male fish. If one drops
out of the nest it is carefully
replaced. Later when the young
fish q Matched he is equally

Coddle your feet and pet your
toes and make them as lovely
to look on as your nicely
groomed hands. There is not
more pleasing feeling than to
know you are perfectly
groomed, from the crown of
your head to your very toe
nails. It does something to the
old ego-and those brightly
painted toes put more spunk
into you and make you step
out in a pretty fashion for the
things you want most in life.

Since toes have made their
fashionable bow to the public
it is an even bet that they will
continue their brilliant career
for some time to come. They
will be seen cavorting gaily on
the sands of fashionable
beaches-the season through
or showing their pretty selves
in cutaway slippers on the ball

So, if you are one of the

Is there any financial man who Is
quite certain France will not be forced

Who can calculate the effect on

The economic problems of France

unthinkable than a plunge into Com

has no sympathy.

peal-La patrie est en- danger"

In the higher ranking Of your two
four-card suits. Again he replies mega
tively-three no trumps. Perslstlng,
you now bid four in the other four
card suit. Now the responder, With
blank hand lacking trump support tor
sny of the three suits, must be care
full not to compel you to bid for more
than game. If your first suit was
minor, he must now bid four no
trumps, permitting you to sign off at
five in your minor suit, bid Whlcn
YOU were prepared to reach from tne
moment that you looked at your hano.
If, however, your first suit was
major, then he must not bid four no
trumps as denial OF your three
suits, because that will almost sure
" compel you to go to five in your
major suit-a trick too high, trlcK
higher than you were prepared to bid
when you made your two-bid in the
major suit, bid which allows as
many as three losers in your hand.
IN this case, therefore, responder
without trump support for any OF your
suits must at this point, even with
only two trumps for you, take you
back to your first suit, the major suit
In which you were from the first
ready to play the hand at game. After
all. this is a five-card suit; II 1t IS not
solid, then there are correspondlngly
fewer losers in the other suits. Ac-
tually on this bidding the two-bldder
can be absolutely certain Of finding
at least two trumps in responder's
hand, giving them seven trumps,
against six held by the defense. The
only trouble can come if these six
adverse trlmps are held 81. You
can almost surely cope with a Al
adverse trump split. Here is the
reasoning which gives you this assur-
srce of two trumps In dummy.
Counting Responder's Hand.
let us say you have made your two
bid with five spades, four hearts and
four clubs. The response to two
spades is two no trumps. Now you
bid three hearts and the reply is three
no trumps. Four clubs by you, four
spades by your partner, pass by you.
Dummy will contain at least two
spades. Why? Because:
First Your partners hand does not
contain any six-card suit, or he should
have bid 1t as his first response, re-
gardless Of its highest card.
Second 1t contains not more than
three hearts and not more than three
clubs, otherwise with xxx he should
have shown preference for one of
these suits.
Third. He has at most five dia-
monds (too weak to be bid, three
hearts and three clubs; therefore. he
cannot have less than two spades.
Think over this and similar situa-
lions which can arise after a two-bid
when q trump fit is not found, and
you will see why I refuse to admit a
four card suit as the permissible basis
either for two-bid or for a response
to It, I will say more on this point.
