A BERING ANNIVERSARY.

Boring Sea and Boring Straits are probably best known to Am erican whalers and 10 the United States Coast Guard Service. The man whose name they bar lies in the rude soil of Boring Island in KarmandorSki group off the peninsula, a monumant-a column and globe-was raised to his memory in 1924. This year n the month of June, marks the 2lOth anniversary of the discovery of the strait between Siberia and Alaska by Vitus Baring, the Dane, who served Russia so faith fully and was it greatest explor- CT in the 18th century.
 Certainly the adventure upon which Peter the Great sent Capt. Vitus Boring in 1726, was one of enormous difficulty. He was one of the worlds most stalwart eX- plorers, but justice has not been done to his achievements. The story of his intrepid march thru Siberia to the Sea of Okhotsk and his voyage in ships built upon its shore is fiittingly told by Dane, Bering 1iisberg, in the June num- Der of the American-Scandinav- ian Review.
 In his youth Boring entered the great Cars service, and had risen to the rank of Captain in the navy when he was put at the head of the first expedition, organized with the special aim of investi- gating whether or not Asia and America were connected by land" At the time, l724, the west coast of America was not known furth- CT north than Cape Blanco, which may now be seen on the map of Oregon. There was a legend ann ong the Tckuktchis of Kamchatka of large country toward the East" Ii was to be the concern of Vitus Bering to explore the coast of Asia after he reached Okhotsk.
 It was not until Jan. 24, 1725, that Boring and his liuetenant. Spangberg, another Dane, got away from St. Petersburg. A: Ilinsk 1t became necessary b go into winter quarters. h June, l726, Yakutsk was reached There 2,000 leather bags for the trans portation of flour were mada and 800 horses engaged. Spaab.rg was diverted with 200 men 70 the Urak river, on whose waters he was to use eighteen raftS 10 carry supplies. Boring ma.ahed on to Okhotsk. The way lar through rugged mountains, over marches and tundTaS and through dense forests. In the winter months, when the adventurers experianc- ed temperature as low as 70 de- grees below zero, a hole n the snow was used for cooking, eat ing and sleeping.
 At OkhotSk the Fortuna was

built with tirnbers dragged for many weary miles by dogs and horses. Tar was made on the spot: salt from the sea. A second ship. the Gabriel, was ready in the mldS ln9yner of 1728. It was in the Gabriel that Bering's dis coverles were made. The Asia tic 2aaS: was roughly mapped. It was on second expedition that many of Bering's men died of scurvy, and he himself succumb- ed on Dec. 8, 1741. To the island where he lies Captain Cook gave the name Boring.

MRS. P. L. SIMS has long had the
" reputation of being the inventor
Of the psychic bid "a reputation she
enjoys immensely. Possessed Of 4
fertile imagination and convinced that
she Is bad card holder, Mrs. Sims
early in her bridge career decided that
in order to do well it was necessary
for her to resort to deception.
Today's hand involves q psychic
by Mrs. Sims, over which she is still
chuckling. We are sure that some of

After Vests opening heart bid and
North's two-club overcall, Mrs. Sims
did some quick thinking. Since I
have a trickless hand and am void
in spades, the opponents must have
a sure game and probably . slam.
I'll just have to try to create an I'M
preston OF strength and hope that
my partner does not take me too
seriously" Thus Mrs. Sims came
out with three clubs, q cue-bid in the
oppones' suit which Is used to pro-
claim = powerful hand with strong
support for partners suit and great
slam possibilities.
Somewhat bewildered, South bid
three spades, and when West and
North both passed, Mrs. Sims breathed
sigh Of relief. North was being
foxy. He was perfectly willing to 60
to four spades or beyond, but he was
sure that Mrs. Sims would bid again
and he would then come in with
belated raise. Mrs. Sims gleefully
passed three spades, and South, by
establishing dymmv's cluhs mad. a
grand slam without having even ar
rived at . game.
