won't open the bidding.
q If I open the bidding. I am mis-
leading my partner. I haven't enough
high-card strength. despite my un-
usual distribution, to permit the hand
being played in anything but spades.
If my partner has no spades, or sin
gleton, I may easily be forced too high
before I can sign off the bidding and
show miSfit.

ding, l am certainly coming in later,
and may be doubled at a contract
which 1 can make. Even if I'm set,
1t will be a good sacrifice. Or l may
be able to force them too high.
Just as he had surmised. Mrs Con-
Servatiye opened the bidding with a
diamond. Mrs. Aggressive passed and
Mr.. Conservative bid heart. Know
ing that this bid was force, Mr. Ag-
gressive again passed, mentally pat
ting himself on the back for his as
tuteness.
Mrs. Conservative had mixed up
one of her clubs with her lone spade,
therefore she bid two diamonds, in
stead of showing her five-card club
suit Mr.. Conservative, encouraged
by the opponents passing, didn't like
to let the bidding die. Three dia-
monds was his next response.
At this point Mr.. Aggressive felt
that bidding showed signs of coming
to creaking stop. He defiantly said.
-Four spades !"-his first bid.

stared at him. Did you say four

SQUADS In Casserole.

Divide the birds in halves by split
ting through the back and breast
bone. Allow one-half for each serv-
ing. Brush with melted butter or
other cooking fat, sprinkle with salt
and pepper and arrange them, skin
side up in a shallow casserole. Lay
a small piece of bacon over the top
of each, cover and bake in a hot oven
for about II minutes. Add a cupful
Of hot water or chicken stock and
cook until tender. or for about 20
minutes. Ten minutes before the
squads are done, add combination
of cooked vegetables and allow them
to reheat in the casserole. Asparagus,
peas, white potato balls and small
onions make a good combination.
Serve the squads on triangular pieces
of toast and arrange the vegetables
around them. Garnish with water
cress or lettuce hearts.

There were others who were inter-

of Grandfather Frog. 1t happened

Big Mouth is awake at last. 1t is

I'll pay him visit soon, but not

time and he may have forgotten some
things. Ill wait while and just find
out where he spends most of his time
Then I'll just stand and wait for him
to appear.
He is year older, but that
doesn't mean that he is so much wiser
as some people seem to think. Old age
makes some people forgetful and per-
haps it will be so with Grandfather
Frog. l must confess that he has
been too smart for me in the past, but
I'll get him yet. 1t is good to hear
his voice again and so know that he is
alive. The thought of catching him
gives me something to look forward
to- If a lot of the silly young Frogs
about here had half the smartness
that Grandfather Frog has, I would
have to work harder for living than
1 do now. 1t is a good thing for me
that they haven't. Hal"
His long neck darted forward and
down and a moment later a careless
Green Frog disappeared down that
long throat. Longlegs once more drew
his head back between his shoulders
and resumed his watchful waiting.
Jerry Muskrat was another who
heard Grandfather Frogs deep voice
and chuckled when he heard it. That
is what have been missingl" he ex-
claimed. Now everything is as it
should be around the Smiling Pool"
"Chuga-rum! Chuga-rum!" doomed
the deep voice of Grandfather Frog.

Everyday Psychology
BY JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Intelligence.

WHAT is intelligence? There's no
one way to tell. You may be
quick at figures. That's not intelli-
gence It may merely represent the
results of constant practice. Training
in mathematics does not create intel
hgence. Neither does it improve in
telligence.
Perhaps good judgment is sign of
intelligence. Experiments show that
judgment is something that must be
learned. Your judgment about any
thing is as good as your experience. 1t
is totally impossible to carry good
Judgment from one thing to something
totally different.
Perhaps memory is a sign Of intelli-
gence. Again, the experimental psy-
chologist gives us a jolt. Morons have
been known to recite long poems after
surprisingly few repetitions.
About the best sign OF intelligence,
so far as present knowledge goes, is
the ability to look into the future. This
is not the same thing as fortune
telling Quite different. You find
that the inventor is one who possesses
intelligence in great degree. From a
mere handful of concrete facts he is
able to rearrange these facts so that
something entirely new stands before

Then I can climb up and down and

The fat pig gentleman helped the
rabbit gentleman make the rope
ladder. They took some old pieces of
Nurse James clothes line, one for
each side of the ladder. They made
some knots in the ropes and in
the knots they fastened cross pieces
of sticks for rungs on which TO put
their feet as they climbed up.
Now the ladder is finished" said
Uncle Wiggily.
But how are you going to put it
in the tree without climbing up?"
asked the pig. You can't climb a
tree without ladder and you can't
get the ladder up in the tree with
out climbing. It's a puzzle, Wiggy!"
Not for mel" laughed the rabbit.
"Ill put some hammock hooks on
the ends of the ropes, toss them
up into the tree and the hooks will
catch upon a branch. Then my lad
der will be in place and can climb
up. Watch mel" Uncle Wiggily tied
on the hooks and tossed the ladder.

The hammock hooks caught firm
ly around a branch about ten feet
from the ground. Uncle Wiggily pull
ed on the lower end of the ladder
and. finding it was firm and tight,

"Carrene is the most powerful and

Miner, manager of Whiting Mead,
said today, after showing a repre-

and convincing demonstration of
Carrene's effectiveness.
Miner placed thermometer
which registered 100 degrees in a

rene. Almost Immediately the mer-
curry in the Thermometer dropped
below zero.
According to Miner this refriger-
ant, which is used exclusively in the
Grunow refrigerator, invented by
famous engineer of that name, is al
so the safest refrigerant used in any
domestic refrigerator, being non-in-
flammable and non-exploSive. I'm
fact" Miner declared. "Carrene may
even be used to eXtinguish a blaze
No other refrigerant is as safe, nor
as efficient.
