w YHAT would Spring be to the
~ country boy or girl with
wv out the thrill OF finding
' crayflsh turrets? Along the
muddy edges of brooks, ponds and
streams, little chimneys of mud are
in full view. Peeping into them, you
are more than likely to look right into
the black stalked eyes Of the small
cousin of the lobster.
He has no intention OF turning his
back upon any possible curiosity-laden
mixers or nelghbors. Backing into his
home, he can 90 out of your reach
If need be. and if you try to get on
intimate terms by poking or prodding,
the sharp claws will fasten upon the
troublesome object and hold fast to
1t. There is only one thing about
this act Of the crayfsh-he will per-
NIT himself to be lifted from his tur-
ret rather than release his hold That
shows stupidity, and that is why he
can be taken a prisoner.
However, most OF his guests who 60
SO fhr as to molest him are really of
an inquiring mind, and want, most of
all, to add to their stock of knowledge
about such an independent fellow,
meaning no harm to him whatever.
Sometimes you will find, later in
the year, that this particular stream,
where so many crayfish are to be
seen in early Spring, has way of

occupied. The fairy shrimp, also seen
in such numbers here, as you known,
lays her eggs on the bottom OF the
stream, and next Spring, when the
waters again f1ll the place, they will
hatch.
Finding the crayfish in fourishing
pond or stream is one of the joys of
Spring. Sometimes they seem so
abundant that the place fairly swarms
with them. You know, without ask

year and that food is abundant.

The bidding is typical Of what some
times takes place in the individual
championship. South's bidding is ex-
planned by the fact that he believes
firmly that any time he has a long
minor suit he should conceal that suit
and reach a three trump contract,
whereupon he may get top score.
With this particular hand things
worked out all right, but since his final
standing was about thirtieth among
36 players, it Is obvious that the theory
Is not successful in general
Norths bidding was of course, cor.
rect. His bid and rebid Of spades, fol-
lowing the heart opening, clearly indi-
Gated that he had six hearts and five
spades. And finally, when his partner
reached three no trump he gave up his
two -suiter.
West happened to be somewhat IA
miliar with South's propensity for fake
bids, and hence made what should
have been the killing opening of the
nine of clubs against the three-no-
trump contract. South won with his
ace, led the three of hearts and
f1nessed the nine. He then played a
low diamond to his own hand and went
up with the king.
West won with the ace, went into a
long huddle, and finally led the king
OF hearts, figuring that that play
would freeze declarer in dummy How
ever, declarer won with dummy's ace,
led the deuce of hearts over to the
five in his own hand, ran down the
diamond suit Git broke 3-3), went back
to dummy with the ace Of spades, and
made six no-trump for what proved
to be a top on the board, since, al

because drivers under such conditions
