A fox and his mate are clever
partners in hunting. One engages
the attention Of their victim while
the other creeps up from the rear.
The husky bark of the fox is not
pleasant to hear, and his wild
screech on a cold winter night
sounds more like that of a panther
than his own. In the spring this
warning may be heard when baby
foxes are In danger.

farmer to furnish so much poultry
for woodchucks, mice and rats

removed the most determined enc
mics of the fox, the wolf and pan

easy time Of It.
When dogs get too close and per-

steps. confusing his .tormentors

but one experience. Life is too short
to have the same lesson twice. The
fox is bold when he wishes to be,
perhaps knowing he can outwit the
dogs that make so much noise when
they catch sight of him. He is cau-
tious when he finds this attitude
serves him more.
Though the fox and the farmer
are sworn enemies, the fox does
really protect the valuable orchard
trees by stalking the mice that are
so determined to girdle them. If

There is no use dlsputing the fact
that red foxes are cunning and
shrewd. They learn quickly. They
had to, for the early settlers had lit
tie time to shoot prowling foxes so
they devised traps for them. The
foxes soon learned they were things
to be avoided.
The red fox dwelling within the
range of cultivated lands has ac-
quired an education that would

king of diamonds. The infer
ences from the bidding indi-
cate that the declarer will be
able to discard diamonds from
dummy on his own club suit,
after the trumps are out; and
he will have at least one trump
left in dummy then to ruff out
losing diamond in his hand.
About the only hope is that
West will switch at once to
diamonds and establish the
king for East. Then if West has
one black stopper, the diamond
king may make.
SO East follows to the heart
king with the deuce, even
though he has the jack to sup
port a continuation.
West cannot read this re-
Spouse for a request to switch.
Remember that the negative
response is necessarily ambig-
uous. 1t says, II have no rea-
son to command a continual
ton of this suit" But it cam
not indicate whether the re-
sponder is indifferent or posi-
lively desires a switch.
In view of his top strength
in hearts, West next leads the
queen. Now East has chance
To make his wish plain. He
follows with the jack, showing
West that he had all honor to
support the continuation.
The fact that he nevertheless
played the deuce on the first
round now indicates that he
must have been anxious for a
shift. West duly shifts to the
only logical suit, diamonds,
and the contract is set, where
as a third heart lead would give
the declarer his contract.

for which no one will get the Distin-

The moviemakers are lying
awake nights trying to figure
what they'll be using for leading
men after another few months.
1t is not just the fact that lot of

the biggest trouble is that the

disfavor on all male players, es-
pecially screen heroes, who APP
pear to be eligible for military

Tyrone Power is the victim of

justify his civilian status, it was
reported that Power tried to en-
