If your partner probes for a king
which you possess and that suit is
lower in rank than the trump suit
(the trump suit is always the suit in
which the three bid was made) and
you also possess the king of q suit
higher In rank than the trump suit,
then you should bid the higher king
because by doing so you are bidding
both kings in one bid. This applies
/ only to three bids in hearts, because
a minor-suit three bid has from the
start an extra round Of bidding to
utilize, being destined by the opening
bid to a contract of at least FIVE Let
us think hand aloud, then you will
easily see the principle.
Sp. K Xxx Di xxxx
Its. Xxx CT XXX
Opening bid, three hearts. With
above hand you naturally say three
no trumps. Your partner now bids
four clubs, calling for the king. You
now reason as follows: II have the
desired king and I now know. since
my partner has called for it. that it
is no duplication it definitely elm
mates loser for him and makes the
hand as safe at five hearts as it was
originally at four. The right bid now
is four spades
can therefore afford to drive my
partner to the five level; I can bid
four spades. making it unnecessary for
him to probe for that king in case it
would help him. This will leave him
free to probe for the king of diamonds
| II he cares to, since he can now do
SO by bidding five diamonds. which
still permits me to sign of at five
hearts"
Obviously you must not bid four
spades If you have the kings Of spades
! BY doing so you would force him to
get as high as five hearts: that may
very probably be an impossible con-
tract: both these kings may be useless
to him. You may wreck the hand and
cause him to go down a trick by driv-
ing him to five through bidding card
which may, well be entirely useless
Only when you possess a card he has
called for can you know that the hand
Is safe at five and thus make a bid
which inevitably drives it to five. To
resume:
THE responder is known to possess
no unbid ace; opener probes for a
king. If responder now bids, not that
king. but the king of a suit higher
in rank than the trump suit, he is
positively showing both the king that
has been called for and also the king
of the suit he bids"

Sleeves and Collars MARKED in Spring Frock
Skirt Comes in Two Cores
and Flares, With Freedom
for Athletic Activities.
Entire Wardrobe May Be
Made From One Pattern,
With Varying Materials.
By BARBARA BELL.

-HE little frock sketched today
gives interested mothers first
glimpse Of what their smart
i young daughters will require
for Spring and early Summer.
The new styles for girls follow closely
those seen in clothes for groWn-upS.
When the fabrics are not modified
editions OF the floral prints created
for mature frocks they are gay, multi
colored designs, diminutive in size
and colorful in execution.
There is q tendency, as shown In
the sketch, to broaden the shoulders
by means Of large sleeves that puff
wen above the elbow. Collars Of
one sort or another are given place
Of importance In all the new frocks.
In this case It Is a concise. well-f1tting
one. Of a type that always looks well
on young throats that can so easily
become overpowered by cumbersome
neckwear.
The skirt Is made in two cores and
flares sufficiently to insure freedom
when running, jumping or merely
moving about
In looking over the new collection
of childrens clothes it was interest
ing to note that little party frocks
are made along the same lines as
everyday ones. Their difference lies
chiefly in the material of which they
are made. Pure-dye silk crepe,
chosen in pastel shades of blue, pink,
yellow and orchid, are the most popu-
lar party frocks for immediate wear.

You will be better than any trap to

Saw-whet made no reply to this
beyond swapping his bill. OF course
not. In the first place he didn't un-
derstand q word, In the second
place he resented having that light
in his face and being disturbed at his
meal. Suddenly Farmer Browns Boy
began to chuckle He had remem-
bered something. He scrambled down
and hurried to the house. Farmer
Brown was Just coming out the door.
1--WE found the fellow who has been
filing saws in the barn! Come on
and have q look at him." cried Farmer
Browns Boy.
Farmer Brown followed him up into
the NOW. He asked no questions. But
when the light fell full on Saw-whet
he gave little grunt Of astonishment.
well, well, well, what a little runt
Of an OWL" he exclaimed. But
where Is that saw filer you were 60
ing to show me?"
There he is" replied Farmer
Browns Boy, nodding toward Saw
whet. That's the fellow who has
been fooling us. Now that I've seen
him, I remember reading that he
makes sound so like that made by
filing q saw that in some places he
is called a Saw-filer. He has other
notes. too. but he Is best known by
that sound like q saw being sharp
ened.
Farmer Brown still looked doubtful
as they made their way down to the
barn floor to do the evening chores,
but when as they went about their
work that harsh, unpleasant sound Of
q file on the teeth Of . saw came
down to them from high up IN the
rafters, all doubt was swept away.
There was no longer any mystery.
He began to chuckle.
There is q lot Of truth In that old
saying. live and learn hope the

kiLLDEeR:

the most widely distributed and best
known of all our shore birds. At one
time there were so many killdeers
that they were familiar objects. and
almost every boy in the United States
knew them. So great was the
slaughter Of them that laws had to
be passed to save them. The bird
is a beneficial friend and does a vast
amount of good in our behalf.
The courtship Of this bird IS a
notable event. and when he is arrayed
in his wedding finery he makes a
very pleasing appearance. You can
not mistake him for any other bird.
His buff -colored wings. coverts and
rump, the two handsome black bars
on his breast. his straw-colored legs,
and his snowy underparts are his dis
tinguishing marks.
The gayly dressed suitor does not
seem to be in a hurry to wed. He
is apparently interested in wooing the
Indifferent maiden. His first step Is
to show of his flying stunts. This
is done by flying back and forth over
the field where she is and giving his
call steadily. sometimes for an hour
without ceasing.
The courtship fight Is varied and
sometimes the damsel joins him. On
the ground they crouch side by side,
but facing in opposite directions.
They droop their wings at the tips,
so that the ocharaceous patches on
their lower backs are displayed. They
spread their tails and tip themselves
forward. Sometimes the wings are
raised in an arch over their backs.
but never concealing them. A low
conversation goes on all the time,
and sometimes a fierce little battle
takes place before or after the wing
spreading ceremony Often the suitor
will whirr madly about the killdeer
belle, and she will come closer and
closer to the giddy one. When he
stops to see the effect on her. she
quickly turns her head and walks
away, pretending utter indifference.
The nest is in the open. 1t may be
close to the lake or river, but is also
close to the fields. Pastures and cul-
tivated lands are favorite nesting
places. In the making of nest, the
ground is slightly followed out and
a few stones or chips are placed about
the hollow. The eggs are so well
marked they do not have to be hid
den. There are usually four Of them
and there are from two to three
broods a year. Both parents share
the care of the eggs. which hatch in
26 days. When the downy chicks ap-
pear, the tidy parents remove every
bit Of shell within few hours. AS
soon as the moisture dries on their
downy coats. the youngsters follow
their parents to the water.
Even the babies resort to the limp
ing and wounded antics. if they find
they are being followed. They can
lose themselves so perfectly that it
Is almost impossible to find the clever
little babies. These birds are among
our most beneficial friends and have
been protected.

Advance Treatment of the King.
Showing Which Can Follow
a Three. Bid.

F THE bidding I am now going
to describe to you seems compli-
Gated or difficult or hard to men,
L orize, forget about it and use
only the methods dealt with so far
in these articles. However, if you see
the logic and order of what I am
about to explain, if you grasp the
principle securely, so that the methods
OF applying 1t seem to you natural. in
evitable, unforgetable, then can offer
you a supplementary method of slam
bidding after an opening three bid
which will eliminate nearly all the
few blind spots and enable you to
bid for some otherwise awkward. small
and, especially. grand slams with al
| most uncanny accuracy. Let's go.
These points must be definitely eS-
tablished before we go into details:
First. This bidding procedure ap-
plies only after the responding hand
has made bid which makes it clear
that he has no further ace to show
For instance, if his first response has
been three no trumps or Gf clubs are
not trumps) four clubs, or if the three
bid was made in clubs, three diamonds,
or if. after showing an ace, he has
| made a second bid denying any fur
ther ace. 1t is vital that there be no
risk that opener should think that
the responder is showing an ace when
he is actually showing a king.
Second. The opener has this re-
sponsibility: When he probes for a
king. possession of that king by re-
sponder must definitely eliminate a
loser from openers hand. The excep-
ton would be if he already had sure
slam in his own hand and were merely
messing about with the idea of coaxing
double.
Third. The procedure about to be
explained can take place only when
responder has more than one king.
These points being clearly understood,
the responding hand may now include
the king Of spades in one bid to-
gether with q called-for minor suit
king and save q round of bidding
under the following circumstances:

l. lust had one of the greatest
surprises of his life. Right be-
L fore his eyes a bold young Rat
had been snatched from the
top of the grain bin and carried up
to the rafters of the barn, where in
the duskiness of late afternoon it was
impossible to see what became Of
him. He had not seen clearly the
captor of that Rat, but he knew it
was on Owl. Not knowing that there
was an Owl in the barn, this had
been surprising enough, but still more
surprising was the size Of that Owl.
He had had only a glimpse Of 1t, but
that glimpse had been sufficient to
show him that the feathered hunter
was smaller than Spooky the Screech
Owl, who was the smallest Owl OF
his acquaintance.
'"It is the wrong time Of year for
one Of Spookys half-grown children
to be about" he muttered. They
were full size long before this. I
wonder If he can have had one that
never grew as big as it should have.
I didn't have a good look at that fel-
low, but he certainly did look small
to me, the smallest fully grown Owl
I ever saw. want another look at
him."
He went to the house for his elec-
trio torch, and with this he climbed
up in the haymow, where with his
flashlight he could see the rafters.
He threw the light along, rafter after

one, when he had about given up
hope of finding what he sought. the
light fell on q little brown person
with q round head. staring at him
resentfully. There was no doubt that
he was an Owl. although he was
hardly as big as Welcome Robin. Un-
like Spooky the Screech Owl, he had
no tufts of feathers on his head. Sit

even smaller than he had when
Farmer Browns Boy had seen him IN

paid with his life for his boldness.
