Volumes have been written about the complicated plays or bridge. Writers have attempted to catalogue and classify them, so that students may recognize the plays when they arise, and ex- ecute them properly.
 This type of study is interesting and instructive, but 1t is inenec- tive unless supplemented with 6 good share of common sense. No encyclopedia of plays can be com plete, and a player must constant jy be prepared to reason out new situations which have not been encountered previously.
 To-day's hand Illustrates a very simple defensive play, which is not likely to be found in any classified list. West can defeat four hearts by proper defense, but a number of good players in that position failed to do so, because they did not study the possibilities thor oughly.

built a blind not more than 8 feet
from the nest and took moving pic
lures as well as still ones.
After the eggs had Matched and
the downy young were a few weeks
old, taking pictures was quite an
other story. At this stage We waited
on the tiny ledge of the cliff from
six to seven hours in order to get
the pictures We desired. for the
mother falcon was loath to return
until it was absolutely necessary to
feed her young. Three of us. my
brother. a friend and myself took
turns waiting. Quite often our legs
were so cramped from remaining mo-
tionless on the narrow ledge that we
could scarcely stand.
Boys Life Imperiled.
On one occasion one of us almost
low when he attempted to climb down
the rope before his cramped arms had
been exercised to restore circulation.
We witnessed a remarkable per-
formance one morning while waiting
for the adult birds to feed the young.
My brother had been in the blind
for three hours. The birds had final
ly stopped circling and screaming,
and had settled down on a dead stub
that commanded an unimpaired view
both upstream and down. Finally
deciding that all was well, the tiercel,
or male bird, with long steady wing
beats headed off into the distance.
From our point of observation in the
rocks some 200 yards from the nest,
we noted his departure and timed
him until he returned with a bird
in his talons 1t required exactly 20
minutes for him to leave. catch a
bird, deplume it and return.
AS the male appeared flying very
high the female left her post at the
nest and few out to meet him. When
directly over the female the male
dropped the plucked bird and his
mate turning quickly over, caught it
as it plunged downward. She then
carried it to the young.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
MARBURY, Md, January 12-
The waters Of Chicamuxen Greek were
being dragged by Charles County au-
thorities tonight for the bodies of two
employees of a Washington gasoline
filling station who are believed to
have drowned while duck hunting off
Stump Neck Point yesterday after
noon.
One of the men is Maudy Groves
of Rison, Md, while the second is an
unidentified Maryland resident who
drove down from the Capital with
Groves yesterday. A dog that was
with the men also is missing.
Groves boat was found floating up
side down on the opposite side of the
creek from Stump Neck Point, while
the Rison mans cap was discovered
a1oat nearby Groves gun and a
lone duck were in the blind.
Deputy Sheriff George M. Sullivan
said it was the opinion of authorities
that the men left the blind to recover
crippled duck and drowned when
their boat capsized in the rough water.
Woodrow Milstead. a farmer who
lives at Chlcamuxen, told Sullivan
that he was hunting some distance
away from Groves blind yesterday
and saw the two men rowing in the
middle OF the creek about 2:30 pm.
He said he looked back a few moments
later and The men and their boat had
disappeared from view but he thought
nothing of it at the time.
Search for the men was instituted
late yesterday after Groves father,
an employe at the naval powder fac
tory at Indian Head. reported that his
son had failed to return home. The
car used by the two men was found
locked where the men had left it a
short distance from the blind.

era was set up some 5 feet from the
eggs, focused on them. and then
camouflaged to deceive the falcon. A
blind of burlap sacks, brush and sticks
was constructed at the base of the
cliff. A thin thread was stretched
from the shutter snap of the camera
to the blind below. Several pictures
were obtained in this manner.
Better Method Found.
Quite accidently a more satisfac-
tory method was found. My brother
had Just finished setting up the cam
era on our third trip to the eyre. The
pair of falcons were circling, diving
and screaming above his head. He
stopped behind a projecting rock for
a few minutes to gather up his equip
ment. In this position he was COM
pletely hidden from the hawk, al
though only a few feet from the
nest. Almost instantly the female
bird returned to warm the eggs, and
after a short wait my brother snap
ped the camera shutter and got an ex-
cellent picture. This performance
doubled our enthusiasm, SO that we

For the last few years Washing

dark falcon drop from the sky and
with doubled talons strike down a

where this annual visitor, the Ameri-

and where she raises her fierce brood.
