sists Of not less than five clubs and
not less than four diamonds. That
Is. he has not more than four cards
in the major suits. You will never
need to finesse against the king of
hearts because with diamonds as
trumps you can discard all dunmy's
heart losers on the spades, and then
trump your queen and jack Of hearts
with dummys trumps Only an ex-
tremely freakish distribution of spades
and diamonds in the adversaries'
hands can beat you in a diamond
slam; one that permits them to make
a diamond trick.
Select Tools Deliberately.
Suppose with this same opening
hand the bidding went: two spades,
three clubs, three diamonds. three
spades; now all you know is that your
partner has not less than eight black
cards-five or more clubs and three
or more spades-so that you may not
be able to escape taking the heart
finesse. You must play him for five
red cards, and you have only four
top red cards. Diamonds are unlikely
to break; moreover, If he has only
three spades, you may have to take
out all three in drawing the op-
ponents' trumps, and then find your
self without an entry to his hand in
order to take flneSSe in hearts. Nor
can you do it before drawing trumps,
as you are likely to be overruffed If
you try to get into dummy by trump
ing diamonds. I would therefore. at
this point, make an immediate move
to locate the king of hearts, bidding
four hearts over three spades.
AS explained yesterday, this order
of bidding the red suits makes it clear
that the heart bid at this stage is a
probe" bid, not request for pref
erence between three suits. If re-
sponder could now show the king by
bidding five hearts. would bid six
spades. If, however, he had to deny
(which he would do by bidding five
spades-then I would pass. AS Just
explained, the play would be too diff
cult on what 1 know about my part
ners hand. He. however, might be
able to take the strain off me and
bid six spades over my four hearts.
if he helci:
sp xxxx DiJxx
Hts. CT. @ Jxxx
by virtue of the heart singleton and
the four trunps 1t may seem crazy
to bid six spades without a king or
void in the hand. but when I have
told you that your club suit plays no
role, that despite your lack of dia-
mond support and though you have
shown mere preference for spades,
am still fishing about for the king
Of hearts instead of calmly signing
off at four spades, why should you
not believe me and take me to slam
since you supply four trumps, though
you had so far promised no more than
three, and since you eliminate my
heart losers with your singleton? If
I were concerned about the ace of
hearts, and not the king (assuming
my hearts to be K @ instead of A
@ x), would not have bid five spades
over three spades, telling you to go
six spades If your hand contained
an ace?

WHO ARE YOU?
The Romance of Your Name
BY RUBY HAsKINS ELLIS.

There is in the old Boxley church
monumental inscription to the
Watt family which states that the
Rev. Haute Watt died . vicar Of
Boxley' and that he had issue living
in Virginia.
Sir Hen'y Watt was one Of the
unfortunate victims of Richard III.
He suffered imprisonment in ths
Tower of London and was saved from
starvation by cat which he trained
to bring him food.
Sir Thomas Wyatt stood In high
favor with Henry VIII, who bestowed
upon him Arlington Castle and other
properties. He was distinguished
poet.
One Of the early royal Governors
OF Virginia was Sir Francis Wyatt,
who was born in 1878 in Arlington
Castle. He was organizer Of the first
legislative body of Virginia, known
as the General Assembly of Virginia.
Sir Francis was the first to change
the spelling of the name to Wyatt.
He did not remain in America, but
returned to England, where he died.
His brother Francis was the ances-
tor of the Virginia Wyatts. His
son, Edward, born in 1919 in Kent
County, England. settled In Glou-
cester County, Va, and called his
estate Boxley for the ancestral home.
Old Upton was the name Of another
family seat.
Wyatts who settled in New Eng
land were: James, who was a resident
of Taunton, Mass, in 1913; John, who
was living in Ipswich, Mass, in 1888
and who died in 1865; another John,
who lived in Pennington. Conn. in
1649. and Thomas, who died in New
Hampshire in 1870.
The coat of arms belongs to the
Wyatts of Virginia.

which send messages to the nerves
saying that they are not warm
enough.
On the other hand there are warm
spots" which tell the brain when they
are touched by something warmer
than the skin
There are more than 10000 warm
spots on the skin of a human being,
and close to seven times as many
cold spots. If you wish to test the
warm spots, do not use any thing
too hot! If you did, another kind of
spot might get busy-a pain spot!
On first thought. it might seem that
it would be better not to have these
spots" because our skin then would
not feel cold, hot or pain. but we
need them. Otherwise the skin might
be burned or frozen or cut without
our knowing 1t. Many a cut has been
less severe because we pulled away
other cutting object went too deep.
The skin covers the entire body.
Even the nails of hands and feet
are classed as parts of the skin,
though of a very special kind. The
skin is thick on the palms of the
hands and the soles OF the feet. Be-
cause we do so much walking and
handling Of objects, we need thicker
skin in those places
The tip of the tongue is regarded
as the most sensitive part of the
body, but 1t Is rivalled by the tips of
the fingers. Finger tips can tell us
a great deal even If our eyes are
closed. Blind persons are able to
read by passing their fingers over
raised letter markings. Helen Keller,
though not able to see or hear, opened
her way into the adventure of learn
ing through the sense of touch.
The skin has layers. In the thin
surface layer there are no blood
vessels, and If q cut does not 20 be-
low that layer 1t will not draw blood
Below the surface layer are layers
containing growing skin, color cells,
blood vessels and hair roots.
Almost every part of the skin has
hair growing from it, though on most
parts the hairs are very short. You
will look in vain, however, for hair
on the palms of your hands or the
soles of your feet.

square miles produces very fine clans.
These clans are very much like the
New England quahog.
No matter how the fresh clam is
served, be 1t raw, fried. in chowder,
or baked, it Is delicious. OF course,
1t never tastes quite so good as when
steamed at a clambake near where
it was caught. For this purpose, rocks
are gathered and a very hot fire built
upon them. When the stones are red
hot the ashes are swept away and
a layer of rock-weed is placed on
them. Then a layer Of clans is ar
ranged on the weed foundation and
a fine coverlet of the rockweed
packed tightly over them. The steam
thus generated cooks the clans to
perfection, and after several hours
In the air, busily engaged in finding
your prize. you will agree it is the
right ending of a perfect day.
