UNCLE RAYS CORNER

We might start the story of an
alligator with an egg. 1t Is not
much larger than a hens egg. Out
Of 1t comes little animal which
may live 200 years or more and
Thich may grow to be from 10 to
30 feet long!
An alligators nest is likely to
contain from three to five dozen
eggs. but sometimes nest has eight
or nine dozen eggs in it, The mother
alligator guards the nest, but the
warmth Of the sunshine makes them
hatch.
When a baby alligator comes from
the egg 1t has small tooth at the
tip Of its snout. This Is known as
the egg tooth" and is used to break
hole in the shell at the time of
Matching. Soon afterward the egg
tooth is lost; it is no longer needed,
The little alligators stay around
their mother for some time. AL
most at the start of life they are
able to snap their jaws and seize
food.
The young grow at a fast rate,
adding about a foot year to their
length for the first four or five
years. Then their growth slows
down. At the age of 40 or so an
alligator may add hardly an inch
Q year.
Alligators live in rivers and
0wamps. They spend most of their

above the surface, and look like
logs. That is why some birds and
furry animals make the mistake of
going close to them.
Many warm parts of the world
have crocodiles, but true alligators
are found only in the New World
and in parts of China. In the New
World we have them in some rivers
and swamps around the coast of
the Gulf of Mexico, especially in
Florida, also in a few sections of
Georgia and the Carclinas. They
are not nearly so common in the
wild state on our continent as thev
were 40 years ago. Alligator farms
have been started in Florida and
California, however, and thousands
OF the animals have been raised on
such farms. The hides of alligators
are Of value for leather, and can be
used in making travelling cases, bill
folds and SO on.
Some men have become experts

An End Play

The play by Harold S. Vanderbilt
gas hawless in this hand played at
New York's Cavendish Club. West
opened trump, which was won in
dummy and small heart was led,
Mr.. Vanderbilt finessing the nine
and West winning with the ace.
West led another trump. Dummy
again won and the remaining heart
was played. which East captured
with the king. East now played
club and after winning with his
blank ace, Mr.. Vanderbilt proceeded
to run off all his remaining trumps.
In order to help his partner, West
discarded his one remaining heart,
so that when the final trump was
played, East held the jack and one
heart plus the guarded king of
diamonds.
Mr.. Vanderbilt who had carefully
noted the discards, now played the
queen OF hearts, then followed with
the 10, meanwhile discarding the
last club from dummy. And now
East was forced to lead from his
diamond king, which, of course, gave
Mr.. Vanderbilt the last two tricks
and his contract.

Score 1907 for four hearts, 60To
