. McKENNEY's BRIDGE QUIZ
Culbertson Convention Does Not Rob Ordinary Four Nc
 Trump Bid of Value

that he has just little, which, added to what the responder has, makes a little bit more, and makes the slam suggestion. Again, if South opens with one heart and North responds with two no trump, a rebid by South of four no trump is not forcing but shows additional honor tricks, without great rebid values in the heart suit.
 Still more important, should the bidding sequence go South, one club; North, one no trump; South, three hearts; North, three no trump; South. four diamonds; North, four no trump; North has shown minimum values on the first round. He has confirmed this disclosure in response to the. very strong force. He cannot hold conventional four no trump bid in this situation. ] 2. A player shows the possession of all four aces by first bidding four no trump and following with five no trump, after partner has signed off, as he must if using the four five no trump convention.
 3. The four no trump overcall of an opening pre-emptiye bid in the Culbertson system is not part of the convention. It is the equivalent of a strong takeout double, requiring partner to show his best suit, no matter how weak 1t is.
 4. The opening bid of four no trump is rare in the Culbertson system, but when used, indicates the belief of its maker that he can take 10 tricks. In effect, unless the responding hand with this inforrna- tion can go to slam himself, it cannot be conventional, as the maker of the bid would then have better calls at his disposal.

 This is the fourth of a series of six articles explaining the princi- pies of the Culbertson four five no trump convention, used by players of that system as an aid in reach- ing slams, and equally in keeping out of unmakable slams.
 l. When may users of the Gull bertson system use the bid of four no trump without its conventional and forcing meaning?
 2. How does a player show a hand containing all four aces, using the four-five no trump convention?
 3. Is the four no trump overcall of an opening pre-emptive bid by opponests request by its maker to show aces?
 4. Does an opening bid of four no trump require the conventional responses discussed in this series of articles?
 Solution to Bridge Quiz
 1. There are a number of im- portant exceptions to the use of four no trump in the conventional sense, such as when the respond ing hand has made 8 jump two or three no trump response to an opening bid. In that case the opening bidder may have no sound suit rebid and yet may wish to make a slam try. For exam pie South has bid one club, North, three no trump, South, four no trump.
 The four no trump bid here is not forcing. South simply shows trianna, Mrs. Concetta Ragaglia, Mrs. Susan DiCarlo, Julia Nocera.

| Latin Words Used
By Girl to Name
| Pet Pigeons
BY JANET JENKINS.

My brother and I recently OBJ
tanned four pigeons. He owns two
and I the other two. My brother
didn't want me to name them, but
I wanted to. He said they would
never answer me when called, which
is true, but I decided to give. them
names, anyway.
finally hit upon a Latin name
or rather a name originated from
the Latin word "pugit,' which
means He is fighting" The pigeons
name now is Pugie. You see, he is
always fighting and never lets any
of@the other pigeons eat It's really
funny to watch him flap his wings
angrily and drive the others away.
My other pigeon is called Pultry,
as he is the prettiest one of them
all; and in Latin the word ''pul-
chra" means pretty.
The two pigeons my brother owns
are called Magnae and Parvae. The
first name came from the Latin
word magma" which means great;
and even when Pugie starts fighting
Magnae struts around as if he were
king.
Parvae came from the Latin word
"parva." meaning small. I gave this
name to the other pigeon because he
is so little.

sketching the broad outlines of the
picture in charcoal. Next step, Of
course, was to finish the job with
poster paint-a process that is now
in its final stages.
There was q great deal of self
criticism at first" Mrs. Webb said,
"and details of the mural we're
changed constantly. The girls
worked on it constantly at first
the spaller ones on the lower por-
tions. working from the floor, and
the larger ones on the higher por-
tons, from ladders. Although we
have a boys occupational class at
Curtis, the only part that any OF
our boys played in the project was
to hold the ladders occasionally"
Work on the painting was begun
last May, and Mrs. Webb expects
that the Job will be completed by the
end of the present semester.
The girls have taken their time
with it, in recent months working on
1t only of and on" Mrs. Webb ex-
planned. And the same girls haven't
worked on it all the way through.
Some of the girls who started on 1t
last spring passed out of the school,
and, of course, their places were
taken by other girls"

For centuries the only currency or
coined" money used in Tibet ard
parts of India and Africa was salt
cakes. The cakes were made un-

stamped with royal insignia. There
are curious records of large guam
titles of gold having been purchased
with a handful of salt-money.
Pliny wrote that India's noun
tains of rock salt produced a greater
revenue than all her gold and

Salt has been the exclusive pos

today under rigid contrpl in certain
European countries. There is a say
ing on the coasts Of the Mediter-
ranean that to take out a bucket
of seawater would defraud the gov

Eastern peoples regard salt as a

To eat salt with any one is to
pledge eternal friendship. Arabs
Persians and Syrians speak of a

Grizzly Bear Is Most Dangerous
Wild Animal IL, North Americn

In the caverns of the Rockies and
the sierras the grizzly bear has his
lair. He's proud of his reputation as
the most dangerous and most hunted
wild animal in North America.
When the shadows fall over the
valley below, the grizzly creeps down
out of his mountain fastness and
steals on the ranches to pounce upon
the choicest of the cattle. He can
kill bull with one stroke Of his
powerful paw, and. If he likes, he Is
strong enough to carry it of to his
mountain lair.
He isn't particular about his food,
though, and will eat anything from
q COW to ants and crickets. He even
dimes on wAtermelons and raw pota-
toes, and he is never happier than
when licking his paws dripping with
stolen honey, while the angry bees
swarm about him and try to sting
through his armorlike hide.

By PAT LYNCH.

Last year, when the circus came to
town. my father said he would take
my little brother Jack and me to
watch the tents being put up. He
also invited three children from
across the street.
We were watching the men put
up the tents and when we turned
around my brother was gone. Daddy
thought he could not be very far
away because Ne had been there a
minute before. We looked around
for an hour or so. Daddy told po-
Iceman and he went looking for
Jack, too.
At last Daddy decided to leave
us and 60 back and look for him.
When we arrived home we found
Jack there. He said:
After I got lost looked for
daddy for about half an hour. Then
I went up to a policeman and told
him my address. He sent me home
with a fireman"
Daddy said he was never going to
take five children to circus again.

1T occurred to the girls" said
Mrs. Ruth K. Webb. principal Of
both Curtis and Hyde Schools,
that it would be nice to fix up
that part of the hall as a sort Of
waiting room for these young den-
tai patients. And, of course, this
involved making the immediate sur
roundings as interesting and pleas
ant as possible"
The IS members of the girls oc-
cupational class talked the matter
over with their teacher, Miss Eliza
beth Rounts. All agreed that a
mural painting beside the entrance
to the clinic-so situated as to be
in plain view of all waiting patients
and sufficiently interesting to COM
mand their attention-was the an
swer. Mrs. Helen Scharf, art super
visor, was called into consultation,
and she had the girls submit their
ideas in the form of small sketches.
The story of the three bears finally
was selected as satisfactory theme,
