must make q full statement or indi-
cate by touching certain cards, just
how he intends to play the hand;
what illnesses he plans to take and SO
on. Naturally, there is no play to
most exposed hands. The declarer
usually has nothing but trumps left
in his hand or unmistakable high
cards. But some players are prone to
expose their hands carelessly, when
there may be a question about the
possible line Of play. For example,
holding five clubs to the ace, king,
queen, jack, with three small ones in
dummy, player might easily expose
his hand and claim five club tricks.

course. If, as in the above instance,
you have declarer hooked, you can
simply show him your taking trick
and tell him to be little more careful
in the future. But it often tran
spires that the question of finesse
arises. You know from your hold
ings that this finesse will work. De-
clarer, however, did not mention 1t,
when he spread his hand and said,
"The rest are mine" You may ask
declarer to amplify his statement, but
you are afraid that he will smell
rat, and finally realize that this
finesse must be taken. If he does not
mention it. of course, you may make
him play the hand as you direct. Per-
haps your partner is also helping you
considerably by holding his hand
poised above the table, ready to drop
1t at an instant's notice.
Both partners should sit tight for
minute after declarer exposes his
hand and study the cards. Then,
If one of them feels that he might
possibly gain a trick, he may request
declarer to play the hand out, with
out naming the particular suit he
wishes led.
There is no objection to profiting
from an opponents mistakes in de-
fensiye play: therefore, we should GER
tainly stand up for our rights as far
as penalties are concerned. If YOU

value as timber, cutting them down
to make place for the more valu-
able trees is what is being done in
many places today. In rocky areas
in large parks the scrub oak is used
to advantage.
There is some resemblance to the
leaves of the post oak, If you are
not acquainted with this tree. It's
downy-lined leaves are obovate and
vary in size and lobing. They taper
at the base and are broader in the
middle. When fully grown they have
hollylike spine tips.

Even when the acorns are ripe, they
are bitter. There are so many Of
them, and so easy to reach, that the
bears soon get fat on them.
This tree rarely grows to be very
high. In California, the scrub oak Is
eight feet high. and on this tree
there are often three types of leaves.
Some of them have prickers on them,
and to try to make your way through
a thicket of scrub oaks is not an ex-
perience you wish to repeat.
AS we have SO many trees of COM
importance, the little bear
trees seems to have its lifework cut
out for it. To cover the unsightly
places until we can replace them
with other trees is not a small con-
tribution to mankind. They have
been of great value where soil would
have washed away had it not been
for them, and have added much to
the landscape. AS food supply for
the many wild animals, they have
been of great value, and upon investi-
cation we find in its way the scrub
oak is indeed important.

Laws of Contract.


THIS would be good article to
clip out and paste above your
mirror. When it comes to a
L question Of a penalty in rub
Der bridge, the palm usually
goes to the side with the loudest voice.
It's surprising how many people don't
even know the penalty for such COM
mon mistake as an insufficient bid.
And while I'm on the subject Of the
insufficient bid, might as well give
the law in that case first. If the bid
ding goes one spade, two no trumps,
two hearts. your partner has made an
insufficient bid. He is inadvertently
playing the one-under- system.
One Of three things may happen to
him. He may correct his bid quickly,
before either opponent has chance
to say anything to him. If so, there
is no penalty. Or, one of the oppon-
ents may bid over him before atten-
ton has been called to his irregu-
larity. His insufficient bid then ranks
as sufficient and the whole matter is
quickly dropped. But if an opponent
has a chance to cry Insufficient"
DC1OlC O1 LlIC
things has happened, then he gets the
full penalty. His partner is barred
from the bidding for the next round
and presumably gives him a malev-
olent look. The offender is. however,
given the privilege of making his bid
sufficient in any suit or at no trumps.
If he overcalls one heart with one dia-
mond and then makes his bid sufi-
cient by bidding seven no trumps,
that is perfectly correct. He must re-
member that the bidding will prob
ably stop dead after he makes his bid
sufficient, so he often has to take
a chance on dubious game rather
than run the risk of not bidding
enough.
The second biggest argument occurs
when declarer exposes his hand and
claims the rest of the tricks. The rule
is as follows:
When declarer throws his hand
face-up on the table and claims either
all or some of the remaining tricks. he

Scrub Oak.
QuercuS Mana,

TINE early settlers named the
scrub oak bear oak, because
the bears were so fond of the
Il acorns of this tree. In some
localities, the same tree is
called the ground oak for the rea-
son that it spreads over the ground
rather than growing erect. As some
of these trees are found in Eastern
United States, some in the Southwest
and still others on the Pacific Coast,
they have accumulated many names.
This little tree belongs to the black
