Some time ago I gave hand on
which Mrs. Conservative bid club

The odd part of it is that if she
passes her partner will also make an
artificial club opening on this hand.

Either one OF them could have bid
a diamond, as they are both prepared
for diamond leads.
Sometimes 1t Is assumed that these
bids are made to deter an unwelcome
lead-and it is true that they may
produce this effect; but that is not
the primary reason for making them.
The real motive is to facilitate one
Overcome. If you get the right one
Overcome, you respond joyously; if
you don't, you give a one-over-one of
your own, or sign of with one no
trump. Bids made to deter lead are
usually made on the second round of
the bidding, when it seems that the
partners are headed toward a three
no-trump contract.
Since this minor-suit treatment is
complete departure from the rest
of my system, I wish to request you
to inform your opponents that you
are using it. usually do so in the
following words: Our third and
fourth hand minor suit openings may
be bidding the hand and not the
suit"
In tournament play a penalty is
imposed if you use a bid that has a
different meaning to your partner
than it does to the opponents, with
out explaining it. In rubber bridge
you are merely politely ostracized.
Incidentally, the above formula is
only quick way of finding out
whether your opponents have an in
king of the bid. If they've never
heard of it they will probably say.
What do you mean?" and you will
have to go into a fairly detailed ex-
PLANTATION anyway.

Further Discussion of Minor Suit
Bids.

FTER having used this minor
~ suit treatment successfully in
~ third and fourth hand posi-
4 n ton you may occasionally use
it in first and second hand
positions. For example, take the hand
that 1 gave as a fourth hand club
opening in yesterdays article.
Sp-K 9xxx 1iIxxx
The hand, as I pointed out is un-
suited for an opening bid of one no
trump. A bid of one spade may
ing is perfect. Well, bid it! You
should be able to steer the eventual
declaration away from clubs. The
only danger is a club lead by your
partner, should the opponents get the
declaration Fifty per cent of the
time you win be the declarer, having
opened the bidding. If the opponents
take the bid away from you, you will
be on lead half the time. The club
lead will only prove harmful half of
the time that your partner leads. In
other words, this bid may sacrifice a
defensive trick 1919 per cent of the
time that you bid it. And as it will
probably rank in frequency with the
two bid, and the three bid, you won't
need to worry very much about the
far-reaching effects of the opening
lead.
Perhaps I shouldn't recommend
this bid to beginners, or to those I'M
acquainted with my system. Never
thelesS, it will be used against you by
Sims players. and you should be fam
lsiar with it.

and killed by Edward Lewis. Some
of the persons who saw the bird ex-
pressed the belief that it is the off
spring of the dread Snallygaster,
which appeared in this section in No
vember, 1882, despite the fact that
scientists claim it requires from 20
to 25 years for Snallygaster egg
to hatch. Those who believe that the
young monster is a small Snallygas-
ter, claim that the unusual heat of
the present summer caused one of
the eggs to hatch prematurely.
According to Mr.. Lewis he had been
missing chickens from his flock for
some time, and kept a watch for the
bird which was Az feet tall, and meas
ured six feet from tip to tip Of wing.
It's bill was four inches in length. The
bird had speckled feathers.
Mr.. Lewis also stated that even af-
ter the bird had been shot and badly
wounded, it made an attempt to at
tack one of his children, and it was
necessary to fire a second shot in or
der to save the child from the clutch
es of the monster.

DELAWARE PEACH CROP

The Delaware peach crop this year
is expected to be only between Is OF
20 per cent of normal, according to
DR.. c. A. McCue, of the experimental
station, University of Delaware, be-
cause of the cold weather of last win

ware is about $4,000 bushels. Not
more than $4,000 bushels however, are
expected.
To further add to the troubles of
the farmers, drought now threatens
in lower Delaware. While no DAM

it is said that some corn has shown

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
PET MONKEY ATTACKS
FOUR-YEAR-OLD GIRL

Ascertaining that the law didn't
cover attacks upon children by mon
keys, J. Alton O'Day, clerk of the
First National Bank, Seaford, Del,
whose four-year-old daughter, Melody
Ann O'Day was mauled and bitten in
ii different places by the simian mas
cot of the Seaford Fire Company, has
enlisted his friends for a real mon
KEY hunt, which if successful may
prove pretty rough for the firemen's
wayward "pal."
Not only have Mr.. O'Day and his
friends grievance against the mon
key, but two other parents whose
children have been reported bitten
and owners of several fine gardens
that have been wrecked by the mar
auding mascot, are ready to back Mr..
O'Day up in any punishment he deems
advisable to impose upon the animal.
This much sought monkey was ac-
quired as mascot by the Seaford vol
unteer fire department last winter
from a punchboard salesman and
spent the cold months in the warmth
of the fire-house under the custody
of Chief Rodney w. Gordy. With the
advent of warm weather, the monkey
was let out and roamed about, climb
ing trees and doing monkey shines as
it pleased.
Everything went we'll until the mon
key began biting small children. Then
came the attack upon little Melody
O'Day as she played in her parents
yard. The monkey got the child down
and was biting her seriously when
Mrs. O'Day hearing the child's scream
beat the animal off. When Mr.. O'Day
arrived home he was told of the af-
fair and the monkey hunt started at
once. All during the night O'Day
and some friends, armed with guns,
searched for the monkey, but to date
it is still at large.

TEN-YEAR-OLD LAD
ASLEEP ON r. r. TRACK

Believed to have been asleep on
the track, little Olin Walls, 10-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Walls, of
Marydel, suffered the loss of his
right foot when struck by south
bound train on the Clayton-O Oxford
division of the Pennsylvania Railroad
last Thursday evening.
A front wheel Of the engine passed
over the youngsters foot and ampu-
tation three inches below the knee was
found necessary at Kent General Hos
pital, in Dover, Del.
Reports from the hospital on We'd
nesday indicated that the youngster
was recovering rapidly from his har-
rowing experience.
The accident occurred about a quar-
ter of mile from the Marydel sta
ton, opposite the FARRELL canning fac
tory.
Engineer Harvey Boggs, of Clayton
Del, claimed he did not see the young
ster until almost on top Of him. He
jammed on the brakes but could not
stop the train until the small front
wheel of the locomotive had passed
over the youths foot.
T. Olin Ford picked the lad up and
rushed him to the Dover hospital,
where surgeons decided that amputa-
tion was necessary on account of the
badly mangled condition of young
Walls foot.

Arguments For Route

in their contention that the Great
Smoky Mountains National park
way be located in their respective
states will be studied by Secretary
Ickes on his trip west, and a de-
cision maybe expected after his re-
turn November s, it was indicated
at his press conference.
The secretary has not yet de-
cided as to whether he will view the
proposed routes on an inspection
tour before making his decision, al
though he had made it known he
would like to. At the time of the
hearing here he said he might and
might not"
Just what the decision on the
route may be-, of course, is not
known. 1t is felt here, however
that some sort OF compromise
route, satisfactory to both states,
may be the polite decision, since it
lis felt that it will be necessary to
ask congress for more money to
complete the parkway than the
$16,o0o,oo already set aside.
The proposed "loop route I'M
der which the parkway would split
at Grandfather mountain, one
route following down by Mount
Mitchell, Asheville and Little Swift
zerland, and the other swinging
westward to enter the park at Cat
Ilinburg, Tenn, may be revised to
effect this compromise.

Killed By Truck
At Spencer Mon.

Benjamin J. Swinson, 29-year-
old Charlotte native who served
in the United States navy during
the World war and later with the
merchant, marine, came home from
the sea to meet death Monday
morning. to swing a ride near
Spencer.
Amos McLendon, negro driver
for John Hardison of Wadesboro,
told officers that as he was ascend
ing a small hill, with the truck in
second gear, he noted a man sitting
by the. side of the road. When the
truck came opposite, the man arose
and attempted to board the truck,
but lost his footing, and fell be-
meath the wheels of a trailer. The
wheels passed over his head, crush
ing him and inficting other injuries
and death was immediate.
Officers who Investigated the &C
cident held that no blame was at
tached to the driver, and he was
released. Coroner DR.. Walter L.
.Tatum said a quantity of narcotics
were found in his possession and
these are being held for Inspector
tanning of the U. S. narcotic di-
vision.
Preliminary Identification of
'Swinson was made from papers in
his pockets which gave his name,
age and address originally, and
showed discharges from foreign
ships. He had about IS cents in
money.
Positive Identification was made
by a brother, J. H. Swinson, who
