= OUTH opens the bidding with
one heart. There can be no
~ difference of opinion about
that bid. West, being vulner-
able, presumably passes. North
responds with one no trump. It is
true that he might give a construc-
tive one-over-one Of one spade, but
what happens then? What is he 90
ing to say over two hearts, two dia-
monds or two clubs? The no trump
response makes provision for all pos-
sible secondary bids by South. Over
two hearts, two diamonds or two
clubs North will quietly bid two no
trlimps. Should South happen to bid
two spades, North will bid four
spades. If South finds a two no
trumps bid, North will merrily 20 on
to three, and redouble the contract
If he is doubled.
When this hand was played in a
not-so-recent duplicate tournament,
the bidding at almost every table fol-
lowed those lines. One heart, one no
trump, two hearts, two no trumps.
After North's fine chance-giving bid
OF two no trumps, however, 10 per
cent of the South players faltered
not. In loud, confident tones, they
braved four-heart bid, coupled with
silent prayer that all of Norfh's
strength did not lie in the club suit.
Unfortunately, even a lead out of
turn would not have helped the de-
clarer. Three spades and a heart had
to be lost, though the heavens fall.
A few of the declarers were wiser.
Double dummy, South's best response
over one no trump is two spades.
North will bid four spades, thus end
ing the whole matter. But even the
f1rmest advocate of weak four-caro
suit bidding will not show a ten-spct
high suit in preference to rebidding
s1x-card suit on such q hand as
South's, particularly when North's
first response advertises a pitiful
lack Of strength. No, two hearts is
the correct bid, but when North bids
four hearts, or three hearts, for that
matter. He should bid three spades.
1t must be admitted that North has
done powerful lot of bidding on two
kings and a queen. Therefore, know
ing that his partners spade suit is
probably little better than his own,
he might hesitate at raising to four.
Nevertheless, three spades, making
four, is far better than four hearts,
making three, in match point dupli-
cate. The hands happen to fit nicely.
Change South's small diamond to the
blank king of clubs and the bidding
will follow the same lines, but four
spades can't be made. The important
thing, however, is for South to show
his spade suit-and we don't want
to hear any foolish remarks about its
not being biddable.

brightly colored, and are small edi-
tions of their parents-queer-look
little beasts and interesting pets.
No reptile has such perfect pro-
lection as the box turtle. Once with
in his fortress, he cares little how you
try to intrude upon his privacy. See
if you can insert piece of paper
between the upper and lower shell.
The box turtle is strictly land
lover, and this proves his close re-
lationship with the true tortoises. He
does not build permanent burrows,
as they do, because he has the wan
derlust habit But he Is great
hunter in grassy, open spots, where
he has found the insects, grubs, and
earthworms abound A blackberry
patch offers banquets most enticing,
and it is a place you rarely fail to
find one or more turtles with faces
covered with blackberry juice. In
fact I want you to make a point of
seeing how much they look as if
they had been caught in the jam pot.
It will be a feather in your cap
to find the nest Of eggs or young.
The nursery is the soft ground under

As Winter approaches, the box
turtle burrows into the soft ground
2 feet deep, where the frost cannot
reach him, and stays there until
Spring, with its promise and fulfil
ment, arrives.

Uncle Rays Corner

In the books we learn about some
of the remedies which were used by
the Greeks. A herbal drink was made
from "raisins, wheat, saffron, pome-
granates and so forth" Barley water
and barley cruel were believed to be
very healthful. A mixture of honey
and water was supposed to be "sooth-
ing" and honey and vinegar served
as kind of cough sirup.
In many modern schools where
students are trained to be doctors,
each must take the "Hippocratic oath"
The oath starts in this manner:
Il swear by Appolo, Physician, by
Asclepius, by Health, by Panacea, and
by all the gods and godesses to
hold my teacher in this art equal to
my parents: to make him partner in
my livelihood; when he Is in need OF
money, to share mine with him :"
The words go back to the Greek,
and are not always given in English
in just the same way, but they include
a promise that the doctor will do no
harm in any home he enters to cure
the sick, and not to tell secrets he
learns about his patients.
Credit for the oath has been given
to Hippocrates, but it is probable
that other ancient doctors shared in
composing it.

Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS
Small Worries,

MOST persons worry at times over
small things. Some do so all
the time. To the person who worries
only about big things, this small worry
habit seems the silliest mental occu-
patton on earth.
But is 1t silly? Is it useless? Is it
insignificant? Think twice. There
are pretty likely to be good and sufi-
cient reasons for every mental fact.
One Of the most useful of all the
mental mechanisms Is that by which
the psychological being covers up his
troubles. When you worry over trifles,
you are pretty likely to be worrying
over lot of things that are by no
means small and insignificant. You
don't like to face the big worries, so
you pick out the least important. BY
worrying over the small ones, you keep
the big ones from taking up your time
and temper.
The big worries, for which the small
are substituted, not only deceive your
neighbors, but they often deceive your
self. You may put the real reasons for
worry so far in the background that
you forget all about them. This
method of forgetting big worries may
make you hysterical, but still you have
invented an escape.

- AFE in the ledge, where no dog
could get at him, Gray Fox
grinned as he thought over his
~ adventures and how he had
fooled the hunters and their
dogs. He considered himself smart.
Yes, sir. he did so. All the time he
hadn't been really smart at all. He
had been lucky rather than smart.
His cousin, Reddy Fox, could have told
him that. Truth to tell, Reddy con-
sidered his cousin anything but smart.
Indeed, he considered that Gray Fox
had been nothing less than stupid to
kill a lot of hens instead of being
satisfied with just one. or at most two.
1t was this act that had brought all
those hunters and dogs to the woods.
But now that he was safe in the
ledge. Gray Fox forgot the hunters,
forgot the dogs, forgot even the hens.
He was tired and wanted to sleep, and
to sleep he went. He believed his
troubles were over, anyway.
Now, while he slept the farmer
whose hens he had killed returned to
that ledge and set several traps. He
set them with care and cunning. He
took the greatest care that none Of
them should carry the man smell. He
set one at the entrance to the hole
by means Of which Gray Fox had en-
tered that ledge. Then he set an
other just to one side Of this, where
Gray Fox would be likely to step in 1t
should he become suspicious and at
tempt to walk around the other trap.
Both were artfully hidden so that no
one would be likely to suspect there
was trap anywhere about. Traps
were also set at other openings that
led into that ledge-steel traps with
cruel, widespread jaws. And all the
time Gray Fox slept and dreamed of
fat hens and the fun of killing them.
Now, with the people of the Green
Forest and the Green Meadows trouble
that is over Is trouble forgotten, or
very nearly forgotten, In most cases.
A few of the Smarest remember and
profit by the memory. Reddy Fox is
one Of these. Gray Fox is not so
smart as his cousin, perhaps because
he has not been hunted as much;
perhaps because he is slower to learn
from experience.
So the fact that he had been driven
into that ledge by dogs and hunters
caused him little more than q passing
thought when at last he awoke. He
had escaped them, and he could es-
cape them again in the same way, so
why give them so much as a thought
until they should get after him again?
He yawned and stretched, and finally
made his way toward the entrance by
which he had entered.
Il am beginning to be hungry
again." said he to himself. II wonder
if any of those hens killed are where
left them. I wouldn't mind having

Doctors of Days Gone By.

N YEAR the coast of Asia Minor,
only a few miles from the
southwest corner of Turkey,
/ is the Island of Cos. 1t is
about 25 miles long, and has
an area of 110 square miles. The
population is about 10000.
Cos does not play an important
part in present-day life, but 1880
years ago it was the home of famous
medical school, and we are told that
the greatest teacher in the school
was Hippocrates.
Hippocrates is known as "the
Father of Medicine" There were
doctors long before he was born, and
in Egypt men had learned some of
the secrets of the healing art; but
it appears that he did great deal
to lead doctors to new and better
methods in dealing with disease.
Hippocrates was of Greek blood,
and he travelled widely. visiting
Athens, Delos and other places. Even
during his lifetime, he was known as
"the Great" After his death his
fame grew by leaps and bounds, and
he came to hold the highest place
among doctors of ancient times, with
the possible exception of Galen.
At least 60 books are claSsed in
the "Hippocratic collection" but it
is not likely that the master wrote
more than six or seven Of them, if
that many. Others were written by
his pupils, or by later teachers in the
school at Cos. Still others may have
been written by men who had no part
in the school, but who tried to follow
the teachings of the great doctor.

"Volcano."

NOlCduU.
VOLCANO, popularly known as
burning mountain, comes to us di-
rectly from the Italian, which in turn
is derived from the Latin vulcanus,
this root source containing the clue
to our story.
For volcano is so called after Ro-
man NEUROLOGICAL god Vulcan, who
was the son of Jupiter and Juno.
Vulcan was born lame, which fact.
according to one version, made Juno
SO ashamed that she threw him out
Of heaven. Another version has it
that Jupiter, his father, would have
none Of him, because he took his
mothers part in a quarrel.
At any rate, out of heaven travelled
Vulcan, falling for an entire day and
finally landing on the island, Lemnos
here he carried on blacksmithing op-
erations underground, the sparks from
his anvil being clearly visible through
the peaks Of the Aegean's hills.
Naturally enough, Vulcan became
known as the god of fire, and after
him we have our English word vol
cano.
