Mr.. Jacoby.

The bidding started out quite simply
with heart by Mr.. Jacoby, two
club response by Mrs. Jacoby and
three hearts by Mr.. Jacoby. Now
came the first key-bid of the hand
Mrs. Jacoby bid three spades. At this
point Mr. Jacoby could not tell
whether her spade bid showed first
round control for the purpose of a
slam or genuine spade suit. How
by bidding four diamonds. At this
point West inserted q double to show
his diamond holding, at the same time
hoping to scare his opponents away
from the right contract. In order to
determine whether her husband had
solid heart suit or strong club sup
port to warrant his bid, Mrs. Jacoby
decided to pass to see what he would
do next. When he bid four hearts,
she knew there was solid heart suit,
and accordingly now made the bril-
liant bid Of five diamonds, showing
her second-round control in that suit
and at the same time inferentially In
dicatine that she held the aces in
both spades and clubs as the basis
for her bids. Jacoby now bid five
spades, showing that second-round
control; Mrs. Jacoby six clubs, show
ing that king also and at the same
time inviting seven, whereupon Mr..
Jacoby contracted for the grand slam
In hearts.
West made his best opening OF a
trump. Jacoby won with the eight
spot in his own hand, played q club
to dummy's ace, ruffed low club in
his own hand, played the ace of dia-
monds, ruffed diamond with
dummy's 10 of trumps, and led an
other low club, trumping in his own
hand. He then drew the opponents
remaining trumps, entered dummy

the sound Of the mighty chorus of
pepper and his friends, the chorus OF
the little Tree Frogs called Hylas.
What's happened?" Peter asked.
"Nothing's happened since that
Hawk failed to catch me, thanks to
your warning" squeaked Jerry Musk
rat.
"Peeper and his friends have stopped
singing. That's what has happened.
Now what did they do that for?"
Peter replied.
You stopped them" replied Jerry.
Il stopped them? 1 did nothing OF
the kind" retorted Peter. How could
I have stopped them? Why, didn't
see even one of them. What's the
idea in saying that I stopped them?"
"Thumped a warning to me, didn't
you?" replied Jerry.
Certainly. What of it?" said
Peter.
do you think I am the only one
that heard that signal and under
stood it.? pepper and his friends have
ears, you know. They heard 1t and
knew what it meant. They may not
have known what particular danger
it meant, but it was enough for them
to know that danger of any kind was
near So they stopped singing, which
was very sensible of them," explained
Jerry.
But that whole chorus stopped,
and it couldn't be that all those
singers, those way over on the other
side, heard me thump," Peter argued.
Il don't suppose all of them did.
1t wasn't necessary. The one nearest
to you certainly heard you thump.
That was enough. That was as good
as if all of them had heard you," re-
piled Jerry in matter -of-fact man
ner, as if there was nothing unusual,
nothing to explain about this.
Peter scratched a long ear with a
long hind foot. Then he scratched
the other long ear with the other
long hind foot But he scratched in
vain. Yes, sir, he scratched in vain.
1t didn't help him bit to under
stand Jerry Muskrat's statement.
Il don't know what you are talk
ing about" declared Peter at last.
You, and how you stopped the
singing of pepper and his friends, Of
course" replied Jerry impatiently.
"Hark! There's pepper beginning
to sing again now!" cried Peter.

Natures Children
Canada Jay s(Perisoreus canadensis)

Don't let his pose fool you. This
Is just one Of his stunts. He is mere.
~ waiting to carry out one Of his
schemes and Is not attracting any
undue attention to himself What he
Is going to do, when your back Is
turned, Is not according to Hoyle, even
among his tribe.
All is not too bad. There is always
something good to be found in all Of
Natures children, so we find that the
Canada jay has a fine singing voice.
True, he sometimes squawks, screams,
chuckles and whistles, but he is not
profane, and that is saying much. He
is natural-born announcer. How
he loves to tell his bird neighbors
who is coming, and there are little
gossipy notes that sound like side re-
marks about the guests.
His wife builds the nursery along
the side Of the trunk of confer
tree. She constructs a bulky affair,
rather high-walled and made of twigs
interlaced with pine needles, bark
strips and soft grasses.
In March or April she lays three
to five pearl-gray eggs, well freckled
with brown and lavender. Though the
temperature Is very low, she has up
holstered the cradle with down and
feathers. The babies never feel the
cold in such high walled room, and
when you see them they will be wear

caps are worn with their first nuptial

birds, as a rule, with long sharp bills,
and their nostrils are always hidden
under a tuft Of soft feathers. Among
some members OF the tribe the tail
will vary in length and form, but it is
never forked or notched. Perhaps the
best known of them all is the blue
jay, handsome fellow with a crest.
His reputation is not of the best.
The little Canadian jay loves the
confer forests of the North, south to
Novia Scotia, New Brunswick, North
ern Maine, the higher mountains of
New Hampshire, Vermont and North
ern New York. HE is also known in
Northern Ontario, Northern Michigan
and Northern Minnesota. Sometimes
he decides to spend the Winter in
Massachusetts, or New York City and
suburbs, or Pennsylvania, Ontario,
Southern Michigan, southeastern part
OF Wisconsin and South Dakota.
Perhaps you have known this saucy
little jay by the name of Whisky
Jack" Whether he is a hard drinker
y,
cheeky, a bird-nest robber and few
other things. Naturally, this makes
him an outlaw among his more peace
loving fellows.
He has little regard for his appear
ance, which is so unlike his American
kinsman, the blue jay, a dandy in
every sense of the word The Canada
jay has a uniform of black and white
and gray. When you first see him
you are shocked. For you think it Is
your gentle little neighbor of the
Winter, the chickadee, fallen into bad
ways, so dkheveled and mussed, and
the expression from the black beady
eyes is SO blank What a relief it is
to find you are mistaken, though it
breaks your heart to see the Canada
jay so unambitious.

singing is mostly done while he is
wholly or partly in water.
So pepper sang, and with him sang
all the other Hylas, and the chorus
OF their many voices carried far, and
people would stop to listen and say:
Spring is surely here" Peter Rabbit
had heard it before ever he left the
dear Old Briar- patch. He had heard
1t when he had been back in the Green
Forest with his cousin, Jumper the
Hare. That chorus had been very
loud, indeed, when he had come
down to the edge of the water and
there had met his old friend, Jerry
Muskrat.
Then Hawk had appeared and
Peter had stamped danger signal
that had saved Jerry's life. In the
excitement Peter hadn't noticed that
something was different from what
it had been. Now that the excite
ment was over. he had an odd feel
ing that something was missing. For
a few minutes he couldn't think what
it was. Suddenly it came to him.

PRESENTED COURT
Late Appeals Court Justice
Lauded Before Distin-
uuished Audience.

A large portrait of the late Associate
Justice William Hitz of the United
States Court of Appeals was presented
to the court yesterday by the Wash
ington bar Lawyers and judges paid
high tribute to the jurist, who died
about two years ago.
Justice HitZ was a favorite of at
torneys who practiced before him and
WAS noted for his unconventionality,
independence and strong sense of
humor. A number of his opinions, ex-
pressing both the decision of the court
and his personal dissent, attracted
widespread attention.
The portrait, which was the work of
John c. Johanson, New York, was
painted from photographs. 1t will be
hung in the courtroom.
Associate Justice Roberts of the Su-
preme Court, the justices of the Dis
trict Court and of the other local
courts, United States Attorney Leslie
G. Garnett, Corporation Counsel Ell
wood Seal and leaders of the Wash
ington bar were among the special
guests.
Justice Stafford Present.
The retired Justice Wendell P STAFF
ford of the District Court sat with the
five Court of Appeals justices and his
former associates of the District Court.
Accepting the portrait, Chief JUS
tice George E. Martin described JUS
tice HEz as an honor to the COM
munity and pillar of the law
Justice l. Laurence Groner of the
Court of Appeals depicted Justice Hitz
as an example of the type of jurist
needed to maintain the integrity,
strength and independence of the
Judiciary, which, he said, is essential
for the preservation of the Nation.
Covington Speaks.
Harry Oovington, resigned chief JUS
tice of the District Court, spoke of him
In similar vein.
John S. Flannery, with whom Jus
tice Hitz once was associated as a
practicing attorney, told of his career
and personal qualities, describing him
As 'one of the ablest jurists and most
popular men who ever adorned our
bench" He formally rendered the
portrait to the court.
Justice Hitz was born here April 20,
1872 He attended Harvard and was
graduated from Georgetown University
Law School. On November 10, 1916,
President Wilson appointed him to the
District Court, and in January, 1881,
President Hoover raised him to the
appellate bench.
