The opening heart lead should
be won with the ace, a small club

A local bachelor who spends

a handsome Beverly Hills home
which he rents while he's away.

called TO ask if his house were

be perfect.
The young man was electrifi-
ed. Miss Russell was his secret
pash but he had never met her.
So he did a quick about-face and
said his house certainly was for
rent, but he'd like to show it to
them personally. Lots of con-
veniences and the view and such
they might miss. 1t was a won

YuaosIovio we're expected. Neverthe-
less the speed Of the German advance

many people as surprise.
This breok-through is attributed in
dispatches from Athens as inevitable
becouse Yugoslov, forces had with

Greek flank. 1t illustrates one OF the
disadvantages Of hastily constructed
alliances, namely, lack Of complete CO.

preparation for joint oction For those
who intend to resist Noziisn, there is
an object lesson in the opening OF the
Balkan campaign.
Among the surprises Of this COM
poion. however, is the foct thot the
Nozis have to wage it at oll Many
who have seen the German machine
from the inside have been convinced
that it could move at will in continent
tai Europe, and that this being obvious
to its potential victims, it would prob
ably meet with little or no resistance.
The Nozis expected to get Yugoslovo

They expected to beat the Greeks with
friqht, not to have to beot them in q
fioht. And we're the Nozis to conquer
these peoples Berlin would have gained
not useful allies but historically ex-
pIosive territory in which to tie up more
German troops with the task Of ooou-
potion.
This 81 not to minimize the serious
ness Of the Nozis menace in the Boil

stokes in the outcome Of the struggle
there. Were the Nozis to mount the
Obstacles thot Greek and Yuooslov
courooe have placed ocross their Poth,
they would doubtless push on in an ot-

Cairo, illinois, is reported as the

his own reflection in looking gloss

One wonders whether life in Coiro
is as exciting as in Mark Twain. In
any event. it can be as confusing we
now learn. But is Coiro's claim the
Ultimate in twin-ship? Some town or
city must have twins who really look
oike, and q chamber Of commerce
to help them put their home town on

explain that they realized too late the
real difference between their speed
and that of the vehicle ahead, &C.
cording to the Automobile Club of

makes the car ahead seem to be

than is actually the case.

Bats Have Supersound System

Bats, those night flying mammals,
do it all by a supersound system,
it has been revealed by the Amer
lean Association for the Advance
ment of Science. They use a "su-
personic system" whereby they
emit Kisses inaudible to the human
ear. These sounds, the investiga-
tors say, reverberate from obstacles
in the path of the flying bats and
aid them in avoiding collisions.
