For that reason, do not respond to
a third-hand minor suit opening with
one no trump unless you have

"a necessary safety factor. With as
little as a king and a queen-jack, a
light one-over-one is to be preferred.
For example, partner bids one club,
third hand. You hold the following:
Sp. 754 Di. K754
Hts. @ J84 Cl.Q4
Bid one diamond. Now, whatever
your partner bids, you have a per-
feet response.
First. Partner, bids two clubs
pass.
Second. Partner bids two dia-
monds-pasS,
Third. Partner bids one no trump
pass.
Fourth. Partner bids one heart
bid two hearts.
Fifth. Partner bids one spade-bid
one no trump.
Sixth Partner bids two no trumps
bid three no trumps.
Suppose you had bid one no trump
on the above hand. Now the bidding
is crowded, and you are unable to dis
cover the safety of the hand at the cor
rect level What would you bid If
your partner bid two hearts over your
no trump? If he bid two spades? If
he bid two diamonds? If he bid two
no trumps? You hesitate to pass any
Of those bids. There may be game
in the hand, If suit fit is discovered.
Yet you are also reluctant to con-
tinue bidding.
If the opponent on your partners
left had doubled informatively, you
would naturally pass the above hand.
True, your partner may have made an
artificial minor-suit opening, but he
always has a redouble at his disposal,
with which he tells you that he is
afraid of having the double left in.
If both of you are short in clubs,
there must be a fit in the hands in
some other suit. Find that f1t-and
then let the opponents double. They
would probably do better by entering
the bidding against you.

inconspicuous entrance and one that

II you have never seen the wicked
cholla Of the Southwest. you have not
the remotest idea how thorny and

The cactus wren uses long fibers to
construct the outside of her nest,
and the lining is of feathers. The
parents never permit their home to
run down. They keep It in perfect
repair. You will see them add bit

1t at another point. Not satisfied with
several rooms, they are connected with
Railways.

cradle the lovely four to seven russell
quarters. No doubt the wrenS have
found that cactus could not pos

only a protection against enemies, but
against burning suns and blistering
winds.
The baby cactus wrens, beautiful lit
tie speckled fellows, come out of their
cozy cradle and pick their way care
fully among the bristling lances. How
they can manage 1t is a wonder to
all who have watched them.
They never go far from their ar

The Old Gardener Says:

Keep in mind that the Shasta
daisy is likely to bloom itself to
death the first year it is planted.
The wise garden maker will re-
move some Of the buds. This is
one Of the most satisfactory Of
garden perennials and is readily
increased even late in the Spring
by detaching young plants from
established clumps. There is no
perennial which can be divided
up more easily and without great
disturbance to the parent plant.
The Shasta daisies are not only
particularly free blooming, but
also stand hot weather better
than most perennials.

pose of the minor opening is to
facilitate a one-over-one response. In
other words, your partner has trans
ferred the responsibility of bidding a
weak, four-card major suit from his
side of the table TO your side. He
knows that your response may be as
weak as QJxx, or Qxxx, therefore he
will be careful not to raise you with
out four trumps.

Mr.. PecOra Assures Us

A whole lot OF ardent liberals were
more or less disturbed when Presi-
dent Roosevelt put Joseph p. Ken
needy on the federal stock market
control agency, and when Mr.. Ken
needy was elected chairman Of that
body. For here was Z Wall Street

pointed to put curb on Wall Street;
and 1t IS hardly surprising that some
people didn't like the looks Of 1t.
Now, however, Ferdinand Pecora,
himself q member Of the commission,
expresses himself as follows:
Il like him CMr. Kennedy i'm
mensely and think his knowledge
along with his experience will be Of
incalculable assistance to the commits
sion. I think the man Is Of sound
judgment and he knows how to do
things"
This recommendation should quiet
the fears Of the liberals. No living
man Is more honest and determined
in the fight to regulate Wall Street
than Mr.. Pecora. II he Is satisfied
with Mr.. Kennedy, the rest Of US
needn't worry much.

Sense Of HumOr

perspective.
This truth is forcibly brought home
by the editor Of the Hebron Herald,

sisted Of these two gems:

LANCER Is the theme song 1t our

"Olson's cannery opened busi-
ness ut Bismarck Tuesday,"
A welcome bit Of humor, even
though pointed. to add . touch Of
gaiety to the situation.
People are liable to forget that
even very serious matters can have
their humorous side. The Hebron edi-
tor, however, not being influenced by
the rather hectic conditions here
found his funny bone still in WORKING
