We are looking forward to the return
of ex-Govt. Attorney Eli Baer. who is ex-
pected momently. 1t is as we understand
the intention of Attorney Baer to open
a law office here and in ST. Croix as we'll.
Judging from the hold he seems to have
with Virgin Islanders it should not be
very difficult for him to establish fair
practice here. Emancipator.

the victims of the gray wolf also.
The gray wolf Is day hunter as
we'll as a night traveller. and he first
hunts alone, later in pairs and in the
Winter in packs. The early Ameri-
can farmer spent many a sleepless
night guarding his property, and.
even so, would find as many as
dozen or more of his sheep with their

he made his rounds to see how much
toll the wolf had taken. Even today.
in the Western ranges, wolves still

The food is principally mice, hares.

the food is more handy to get.
Gray wolves seek their mates in
January and in some climates as late
as March. 1t is we'll established that
they mate for life. When one of the
mates is lost the other is seen going
back several times to the cave or den.
Often the den will be made in readi-
ness for the absent one. Wolves cling
with an almost human love to their
home sites. The hunter, knowing this
trait. has little trouble finding them.
There are from six to seven babies.
The nursery is well lined with clean.
fresh leaves. There are often several
mothers to be found in one large
cave-the first maternity ward. The
infants open their eyes on the ninth
day and they tumble and play about
their parents. The mother is often
seen turning over stones and logs to
find crickets for her wee ones. who
are especially fond of these tidbits.

the Jewish faith. Like Easter,
IL it is a Spring feast, and some
times the date happens to be
the same; but more often different
dates are used.
The Passover starts on the evening
of the l4th day of Nissan, a month in
the Jewish calendar, and lasts for
eight days.
The custom takes us back thou>
sands of years in history to a time
when the Jewish people were in
Egypt. The first Passover is described
in the Bible in this manner:
And the Lord spake unto Moses
and Aaron in the land Of Egypt, say
ing:
This month shall be unto you
the beginning of the months. Speak
We unto all of Israel, saying that in
the tenth day of this month they
shall take to them every man lamb.

Cards and Names.
BY EMILY POST.

<@ EAR MRS. POST: At what

card? Does this same
age apply to a boys card. too?"
Answer: Always at 16, and as much
younger as she chooses. Many boys
have their cards engraved Mr." when
they graduate from school; others
wait until they graduate from college.
Dear Mrs. Post: / am a graduate
nurse and I want to have some busi-
ness cards made. What may properly
be engraved on these carGs?"
Answer: Your name, Miss Mary
Smith Jones, r. N" And in the lower
corner your address and telephone
number.
My Dear Mrs. Post: My mother
and father are separated, though our
| religion does not permit them to be-
come divorced. Fathers life has been
very distasteful to both of U.s. Is there

| usage for writing her name now. She
would not, of course, want to change
her surname TO anything different
from the one l carry. and you say
Mrs. Mary is tabu. Please help us. 1"
Answer: If she were Mary Jones
and your father John Smith, your
mother calls herself Mrs. Jones Smith,
just as she would were she and he
divorced
Dear Mrs. Post: Graduation time
| will soon be here. and mother wants
me to have new visiting cards, suitable
to my age. What is the correct size,
engraving. kind of paper, etc? Should
the cards be plate marked? What
about an address? All these questions
must be considered before they are
| ordered, and we would appreciate your
writing something for our benefit. as
well as for others who must be having
this same problem
Answer: Choose a card that is white
or ivory, thick or thin, as you like
The typical size for a young girl is
about 2"s inches long by Is or ,
inches high Gf your name were very
long, your card would have to be pro-
portionately longer. plate-marked
card is not improper, if you like it. but
most cards at the moment are plain.
Choose any type of lettering that is
without flourishes. Plain block. shaded

equally good. Have your address en-
graved in very small letters in the

Defensive Bidding.

r EXPLAINED why I prefer a
strategic double to an overcall
with an aggressive type of hand
i with which most players would
automatically overcall-as with a
six-card suit, headed by K @ 10 and
A @ outside. Let us take a slightly
less aggressive hand with which the
declaration is not SO necessarily con-
fined to one suit. For instance,
s9s sp; 1' AoJxx q. e. 81 ( *
The player on your right bids
spade; you double. If your partner
bids a no trump. you bid two hearts;
if his response is two hearts. you can
still bid four hearts, though if you
lacked the queen OF clubs. you should
bid only three and leave it to your
partner, after this very urgent invi-
tation whether to go four or not. If
he should bid diamonds, I would be
inclined to pass and see what the
enemy will do If the next player
bids. you can judge from your part
ner's action what to do. If he rebids
diamonds I would next bid three

they may double and you can now
go back to diamonds. If your part
ner fails to rebid, but the opener does
so. you can remain on the defensive; I;
they may misplay the hand because
you have told them nothing about
your holdings, If there is play on
the diamond suit, they are likely to
go wrong over it; you may well de-

the bidding goes-one spade. double,
pass, two diamonds, pass, pass. two
spades pass, pass: now would de-
fend the part score, opponents hav-
ing signed of. / would bid three dia-
monds and if doubled I would go
three hearts, which may well make.

Another Defensive Angle.
When you double a bid in one ma
jor suit, your partner may assume
that you are prepared for, and in
fact desire, a lead of the other major
suit. even if you do not bid it. Un-
less he has a good safe natural lead
in his hand, and this is unlikely If
