West opened his singleton club.
whereupon declarer gnocked out the
ace of trumps, and romped off with
his contract.
We cannot be too severe in our
criticism of this opening lead by West.
1t should have been obvious to him
from the bidding that if his partner
should hold a club trick, it would
keep, and that in all probability the
only chance Of defeating the hand
would be to establish q diamond or
heart trick before the ace Of spades
could be knocked out.
With this in mind, his only choice
should have been between a diamond
or a heart lead. and we would def
nitely favor heart opening. In the
first place, West had four hearts and
five diamonds. Therefore, there was
a slightly smaller chance that one of
the opponents would have single
ton heart. Secondly, West held the
queen of hearts. Therefore, should
East hold The king he would immedi-
ately establish the queen. Thirdly,
West held nothing in diamonds.
Therefore, If last held that king and
the declarer the ace-queen, the king
would probably be trapped anyway.
Incidentally, If West had held the
king of hearts, instead of the queen,
we would still favor the heart lead.
Here. it would only be necessary to
find the queen in his partners Nand,
or If his partner held the jack, dummy

has seen fit to arm herself with
sharp prickles.
You are acquainted with her, I am
sure, for she loves the roadsides, wood
land thickets and fences. She seems
to resent your intrusion, and her
barbed arms catch and tear your
clothes or flesh if you happen to be
investigating a bird nest hidden
among the beautiful, glossy, green
leaves.
Along about April, in the warmer
parts of the greenbrier's range, and
until June in the northern stronghold,
the small, inconspicuous flowers are
the happy hunting grounds and feast
places of flies and other small in
sects.
It is at this time that the jolly little
yellow-breasted, chat Is singing his
widest and happiest songs, and here,
In the most. inaccessible spot among
the briers. Nine. Chat will build the
cradle. Now that the nest is no
longer needed and the leaves do not
hide the nest from view, you may
collect the dainty home, and know
where to find some other chat next
Spring.
Now you see the foliage in its Au.
tumn beauty, and the bluish-black
berries. The tiny flowers gave place
to a rich harvest.
The greenbrier has a first cousin,
known as the carrion- flower. When
the leaves begin to turn and the fruit
ripens, the two look very much alike.
One Is found in drier soil and sun
nier locations. Country children on
their way to and from school stop
by the side Of the greenbrier to gather
handful of the berries. The jacket
has a little flavor, and besides, it looks
like something that is good to eat.
All children love to sample, and those
of us who have lived as children In
the country have heard about the few
poisonous things to avoid.

Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROwLs.
Hell,

THERE Is an old argument to the
effect that heredity plus environ
ment makes the individual H+E=D.
Some put stress on H. Others on E.
Why do they stress one factor as op-
posed to the other?
II you look into the question you
will find a mathematician at the bot
tom Of the argument. The mathema-
tician trying to reduce uncertainties
to certainties. And then he goes on
to deal with imaginary quantities.
All these contenders miss the point.
Heredity and environment are not
summation. They develop together.
The one aids or inhibits the other.
Heredity Of average sort in favor
able environment will produce a pass
able product. In very favorable
environment the product will be good.

Workers in this city banded to-

the passage of a bill in the state
legislature proposing a luxury tax
to build up the state fund for

John David, representing the
Labor Council, Mrs. Louise s. Jee-
sen, state representative of the
Socialist Party of Louisiana, and
Mrs. P. A. Blanchard, represent
ing the Council of Social Agen-
cles, spoke at the meeting. The
tax in question would impose a
Two per cent levy on all such
"Iuxuries" as clothing costing
more than $500 an article and
canned foods. The protest was
based on the fact that the pro-
posed tax would hit the poor who
are already carrying the burden
of an Out-moded economic system
through low wages or relief
wages.

College Station, Raleigh, May 12-
The Resettlement Administration is

given from 20 to 40 years to pay for
them.
He laid special emphasis on the
