Such an offer would be made after a

Two years ago DR.. Leopold Thoma
Of Vienna, Austria, visited the Lon
don Zoo and made tests on apes.
He tried different kinds of music
and found that the animals liked
tango tunes" the best.
The ape which seemed to follow
the music most closely was a
7-year-old chimpanzee named Peter
DR.. Thoma decided to try to hypno-
tie him.
Holding q bright metal knob in
front of Peter, the doctor brought
the apes gaze to it. Then he slowly
drew the knob away and the apt
began looking at the mans staring
eyes.
Then DR.. Thoma repeated certain
sounds and passed his open hands
up and down. The result was that
the chimpanzee dropped to the
ground, having fallen into deep
sleep. Seven minutes later he awoke.
DR.. Thoma and other experts have
made wide use of hypnotism in try
ing to cure Stammering and certain
other troubles. In some but not all
cases they have met with success.
One physician treated 48 patients
for stammering and reported that
is were cured and 10 were helped.
The others seem to have made no
improvement in speech.

known, and many doctors believe
it is better not to use hypnotism.
Prof. G. H. Estabrooks of Colgate
University, who has made a long
study of hypnotism, says:
when hypnotism is tried by an
amateur, it may do a great deal Of
harm. It Is nerve-racking to have
subject refuse to wake up, or to
go to sleep again whenever you
look at him."
People usually forget most, II not
all, of the words spoken to them
while they are hypnotized. When
they are hypnotized again, how
ever, they remember what hap
pened the time before.
People who have forgotten events
of their childhood are likely to re-
member them while in the sleep
of hypnotism. Ever so many cases
of this sort are on record.

False, FoIse Cards

In a recent rubber-bridge game.
we watched the declarer almost
throw away a laydown contract by
means of a totally unnecessary false
card, only to see a defending play
er throw it right back by means of
the worst false card there is-in
suit in which partner has already
shown out.

North-South vulnerable.

The bidding:
South West North East
IA ~ "a 81

Pass Pass Pass
The bidding is worthy of comment
South's opening bid was minimum,
and his rebid to three spades was
optimistic. if anything. Vests over
call was of course based on the score
North's raise was quite sound, as was
East's bid of three clubs. Finally
East made the mistake of making
gambling double Of the three-spade
bid.
The king Of hearts was opened,
and if declarer had counted the
hand hand correctly, he would have
seen Immediately that should he
play low heart from his own hand,
there would be no way of beating
the contract. However, he over
looked this and instead started out
by false -carding with the jack of
hearts. Naturally this false card
did not stop West from continuing
the suit, since his partner had
NAoPPSo VIC oCVCA4. x1SCOA AAAASAy, /,
West continued with the ace of
hearts, East discarding low club.
And now came the really amazing
play of the hand. Instead of play
ing the 10 of hearts, West for some
unknown reason played the eight
spot. Declarer played low in dummy
and East, who was now certain that
declarer must hold the 10 of hearts,
promptly trumped and laid down
the king of diamonds. Declarer won
with the ace, drew trumps, discarded
his losing diamond on dummy's
queen of hearts, and conceded one
club trick to make his contract.
1t should be noted that If West
had made the sensible play Of the
10 of hearts, East would have dis
carded instead of ruffing. South
would have been unable to get his
diamond discard.
In closing, we would like to give
little rule, which is: Never false
card when your partner has already
shown out Of a suit. You cannot
fool declarer, but will surely fool
your partner.

Leaving the Potomac Boat
Club in trim little outfit chris
tened Gypsy" we were on our
way to hunt out the migratory
perch. Stopping at the repu-
table spot opposite the School
House" fish we're scarce. Nov
ing on to the fast and deep
waters between walkers Point
and Hens and Chickens, perch
ing was all that could be desired.
Several boats were anchored
in the swift current and all
hands were taking four and
three-to-the-pound perch. This
position required an extra ounce
of sinker to reach the bottom,
but it was no drawback, for the
fish hit with plenty of zip And
we might mention that prac-
tically all the perch were OF the
male species. Just what hap
pened to the opposite sex there's
no telling. but they'll come along
in due time. and larger and
better fish will be in order.
Another noticeable thing about
those taking better-than-aVerage
sized perch was that they were
using soft crabs as bait. We pur-
chased a dozen at the fish stall
for SIPS and, honestly, they
were no larger than a Well-pro-
portioned spider. But, cutting
them, Scottish. into wee bits, we
had enough to piece out a full

In all seriousness, something
drastic should be done-and
uuickly-about the way the crab
bing industry is Matchmaking
these miniature species, or there
will be no more crabs.
MARYLAND claims that a so per
cent drop in the crab industry
has been noticed during the last
five years. This statement was
made by R. v. Truitt, director OF
the Chesapeake Biological Lab
oratory, at Solomon, in reply to
George C. Bentley. secretary OF
the Virginia Crab Packers ASSo-
citation. Mr.. Bentley had said
that there was a bumper crop
in 1887 and that crabs are not
scarce.
Just what will come out OF
the grave matter is in question.
There's a conference to be held
shortly, and it will be attended
by both Governor Nice of Mary
land and Governor Price of Vir-
ginia. The question to be decided
is whether or not Virginia is to
relax present restrictions on the
dredging of the sponge crab.
Getting back to white perch:
After taking a goodly share of
fine fish, we moved upstream to
near Little Falls. We tried out
Big Eddy, Bush Cove Eddy, and
any number Of likely spots, but
it seemed the fish cared nothing
for the SWirling waters, taking
kindly to the deep, fast current.
Just before calling it day, we
dropped anchor in the placid
water just above the Three Sis
ters, and in less than a half
hour boated four big catfish.
The fish made up three distinct
