Conquering Contract
By p. HAL SIMS.

West led the queen of diamonds.
Without a moments hesitation
South played a low diamond from
dummy. The bargain-hunting in
stinct is too strong in the souls of
most of US at the bridge table. By
covering the queen of diamonds with
the king, South could set up the jack
Of diamonds-which she didn't need
South realized that she had to lose
one diamond trick. There was an
even chance that Vests lead was a
would be bound to return diamond.
South would have to trump high
and possibly set up the jack Of
hearts three times in some ones
hand Perhaps East couldn't resist
bargain, either. BY playing low
she would offer him a free trick.
East, however, could count as well
as the next person. He realized that
the only chance Of setting the con-
tract was to overtake his partners
trick. Therefore, he played the ace
of diamonds and returned a small
diamond. It all turned out just as
South had feared. She had to trump
high, and West eventually made the
jack of hearts. Result: A loss of
100 points for the Conservatives.

Thus spoke Otto Lilien-

Lilienthal braved the air in gliderS;
and he made more than 1000 gliding
flights before a sudden gust of wind
upset him in midair and brought him
to his death.
Since that unhappy day, 38 years
ago, inventors have done much to take
away the danger of wind to those who
fly. Now and then fierce gale brings
down an airship, but airplanes can ride

whirling winds.
Winds help us to play. They carry
kites into the air and they give power
to sailboats and iceboats.
If it had not been for the winds,
men would not have crossed the oceans
in early days. Columbus would not
have made his famous voyage. Even
the Norsemen would have found 1t too
much work to row all the way across
the North Atlantic.
Indeed we may doubt that the hu-
man race could live without winds.

How It Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.
That Word "Touchy."

WE HAVE an inquiry for the origin
w of the term "touchy" with which
we are all familiar to describe a person
whose feelings are easily hurt, who
is supersensitive. "Is this" the reader
asks. Gin allusion to the idea of being
sensitive to touch?"
"Touchy' has no relation to
"touch!" 1t Is a corruption of the
old word 'techy'' or "tetchy," which
means peeviSh or irritable. Originally
the word had more unpleasant sig
nificance, being used for bad-tempered,
even vicious, as "a vicious horse !"

that there is always wind on a high
level during such a time. Warm air
rises. At great heights it is under
much less pressure, which causes it to
cool. This cooling plays big part in
forming rain, for it tends to condense
water vapor into raindropS. II there
is enough moisture in the air, we may
expect rain to fall after the cooling of
warm upward currents
We do not notice upward currents
so much as those which sweep across
country. Each day the air is warmed
by the sun, each night it loses part Of
its warmth and this is one Of the
causes Of winds and breeZeS.
In the region of the Equator there is
plenty Of warm air rising from the

winds except squalls and light breezes.
That region is known as the dol

winds do not help sailing vessels which
