Conquering Contract
BY P. HAL SIMS

laration the game should be bid, your
partner is interested only in your dis
tribution. He does not need from you
any high card for game, but he does
need to find the best flt in the two
hands. Your 13 cards, therefore, sup
ply the key to joint holdings Of 26 cards
solely by their grouping.
3. You know that the suit he has bid
consists of at least five cards; conse-
quently @ or K is normal support
for that suit.
f. The bidding can proceed unhur-
riedly, as there is broad expanse OF
leeway available The bidding must be
taken to game at least; so make use
of your freedom to make constructive
or sign-off bids all the way up to the
game level, which is seldom below four,
though at times the bidding will stop
at three no trumps.
There Is Only One Unnatural,
Artificial Response.
The only response which can be 50
characterized is when you respond with
a hand which would have required you
to pass had your partner opened with
a bid Of only one. That is to say. when
you respond only because you are forced
to respond. Your way of saying this Is
Wy VI Clic AC6db4NS
Response of Two No Trumps.
This tells your partner two facts
about your hand:
!. That you do not possess any FIVE
card suit headed by the king or queen
jack, and that you do not possess six
card suit Of any kind.
2. That you do not provide the means
for him to get into your hand twice,
either in no trumps or with his suit as
trumps. I really think Of this artificial
response as being natural in its own
way You employ a bid still in the
range of two-odd to tell your partner
that you lack normally natural re-
sponse. From now on he must take
control, as your further function con-
Sists solely in not passing be!ow the
level Of game. If he bids second
suit you are called on to show your
preference in the ordinary manner, but
any slam bidding must then be done
by the opening bidder by virtue of his
own hand.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER
@. Which was the most fearful of the

dinosaurs?
A. The tyrant lizard. of which We
shall speak more fully tomorrow.
@. Why do scientists say that dino
saurs lived millions Of years ago?
A. Because skeletons have been found
in deep layers Of rock. and it is figured
that these must have been formed vast
ages ago.
@. Do scientists agree as to Just how
long ago the dinosaurs lived?
A. No, but it is common opinion
that the dinosaur race died out at least
100000 years ago. and that some
dinosaurs lived more than 10000, 900
years ago.
@. What was the size Of dinosaurs?
A. Some were smaller than fox and
we're not very fearful" Others were
larger than any existing land animal
One mighty dinosaur. known as AT
lantosaurus" or "Gigantosaurus." is be-
lieved to have had height of 80 feet
when 1t raised its head.
@. Did dinosaurs lay eggs?
A. Some of them. perhaps all of them.
did. Dinosaur eggs have been found
in fossil condition in Asia. The eggs,
however. were those of the smaller type
Of dinosaur. We have yet to find eggs
laid by such giants as Atlantosaurus or
the thunder lizard.
@. What living animals are closest to
the olden dinosaurs?
A. Alligators, crocodiles and small
lizards seem to be as close as anything
we have: but they are far from being
the same.

tree You remember he had been chas-
ing Timmy at the time of Whitey's sud-
den appearance. Now all Hairy's anger
against Timmy was gone. He actually
felt glad when he saw Timmy escape
those cruel claws reaching for him. Here
was common danger and that made all
the difference in the world. Hairy re-
mained as motionless as the others
After long time he noticed that
Timmy was moving very, very slowly,
just a wee bit at a time, long pause
between each move. He was climbing
up that tree and taking the greatest
care to keep the trunk between him
and Whitley. He didn't even peek
around to watch his enemy lest he
should be seen. Up he moved little by
little, little by little. Once his claws
made the faintest sound. Instantly the
great white Owls head turned SO that
he looked up, for his wonderful ears had
caught that faint sound. Timmy didn't
move again for some time and gradually
Whitley settled back as before.
So Timmy climbed and at last was
high up, almost at the top of the tree.
Back in the Green Forest Blackey the
Crow cawed Whitley turned his head
for an instant 'and in that instant
T1mmy leaped and sailed down in a
oeduI1ui, 1Oile Sllue StIdlSlI 10 LuS
lower part of great hemlock tree
Whitley saw him Just before he reached
the tree and started after him. but he
was too late. He knew it. To try to
find Timmy among the thick-growing
branches of that tree would be useless
He kept on past the tree and soon dis
appeared
Thank goodness" exclaimed Hairy
the Woodpecker. and he. too, took to
his wings and headed straight for his
home. Not until he was inside that
would he feel absolutely safe. As for
T1mmy,I he remained in that hemlock
tree until he was certain that Whitley
really was nowhere about. Then he,
too, made his way home and sighed
with thankfulness as he curled up In
his warm bed. When night came he
remained at home. He didn't have to
go out and for this he was truly thank
full.
Meanwhile others had seen Whitley
and the news had spread swiftly
through the Green Forest that q new
enemy was among them, one difficult
to see, because, like his surroundings. he
was all white. And because they knew
little about him a great fear took pos
session Of the little people so that they
scarcely dared venture out of their
homes and the feathered folk were as
fearful as the furred folk You see.
they knew so little about this visitor
from the Far North that they feared
him even more than was necessary.

rick Wernher employs a metaphor in
this connection which in my opinion
is exactly right He says that the two
bid reminds him of a gigantic ocean
liner, such as the Leviathan, incom-
parable in size, speed and power, ap-
preaching the land. Before It can
reach its berth safely. tiny little puff
ing tugs have to meet it and guide it
safely to its pier. Without them it
would be helpleSS-at the mercy of tide
wind and current. Yet when the pas
sengerS have been safely landed the
limelight plays on the liner. the praise
is for her captain and crew, her design
ers and her staff. The little tugs re-
turn home unnoticed and forgotten.
When your partner opens with fore
ing bid he may drift without steering
way and be wrecked II you do not per-
form your tug job properly.
What Do You Know About the
Situation?
l. You know that your partner has
only two or three losers in his hand,

him? For this you must supply some

California gave birth TO the navel
orange industry. In 1880 the whole
crop OF navel oranges was one box.
Today there are over 10000 acres
planted to these trees.
Florida was the early center OF the
orange industry The freeze OF 18s4-5

up again and had another setback.

Even seedless oranges have to begin
their life with a seed. Orange seeds
are planted in beds and when the little

bud comes the upper structure Of the
navel orange tree or any tree that Is

At the age Of three. the tree is taken
to the orchard and set out in the place
where 1t may remain for 100 years, for
orange trees live to be very old. At
the age of six years We will find our
little tree bearing its share of delicious
fruit. The sixth year is when the
orange grove is supposed to begin pay
ing dividends.
The orange tree is always covered
with beautiful green leaves and often
the flowers are present at the same
time that some of the fruit is on the
tree. The idea of bride wearing the
fragrant orange blossoms in her hair
Is based on an old belief that she will
always be happy and prosperous.

Orange.

VIdHkc'
TINE orange leads the world as an
important fruit of commerce.
Its fragrance and favor 60
i round the world. The United
States grows the best ones, too.
We have always thought that the apple
held first place as a fruit, but America
and Australia are the only countries to
grow them on a large scale The
orange, however. is grown in the hot
and semi-hot climates and its market
Is the whole world.
Our sweet orange Is a native Of
Eastern Asia and has a family tree con-
sisting of about 80 members in the
United states. Many Of these members
are simply interesting and not grown
for the trade. There is native Of
China, the King Orange, with its rough
coat and very delicious flavor, that is
being grown successfully in Florida and
California. Then we have the Gala
mondin, a native OF the Philippines,
and the Satsuma from Japan. The
Mandarin orange is very hardy and
used to graft other varieties on. There
are many other varities being developed,
all having the fine qualities Of those
mentioned here.
The romance of the navel orange Is
interesting. In 1872 consul stationed
at Bahia. Brazil, saw what he thought
was freak orange. No seeds! So he
sent several small trees to the Govern
ment propogating gardens in Wash
ington. Under the able direction Of
William Saunders. its chief. IL trees
were grown to the fruit-bearing stage.
Then they died. 1t took so years to
get them to this point and seemingly
their work had been in vain. Not at

The fabric must naturally be OF the

some instances, Subdued prints are USED.
More often. however. the material is
