West opened the ace of spades,
then shifted to the six of clubs.
(The seven of trump would have
been better shift Dummy played
the club queen and East took the
ace and returned the jack to dunn
my's king.
From East,s failure to lead a
trump South was sure that all of
the trumps were at his left. He
therefore prepared to get some ruffs
in his own hand by leading to the
ace of diamonds and returning an
other diamond. East won and led
the 10 of clubs. South ruffed with
the 10 of hearts and West over
ruffed with the queen.
West then led a third diamond,
South ruffing with the three of
hearts. Now declarer ruffed spade
in dummy and ruffed dummys last
diamond with the five of hearts.
Next he led spade and West, who
had only trumps left, was power
less to win more than one trick!
If West ruffed with the king, he
could not prevent South from ruff
ing the last spade with dummy's
nine. Seeing this, West ruffed with
the seven and dummy overruffed
with the nine. But then declarer
led a club from dummy and dis
carded his last spade. knowing that
West had to play a trump anyway
Then West had to lead away from
his king-eight Of hearts up to
South's ace-jack. South therefore
made his doubled contract, scoring
game and rubber.

otter and chasing the fox. Early
specimens showed evidences of their
mixed ancestry-fox terrier. bull,
terrier and Dandie Dinmont. Grad
ually, the type has become fixed
and, in general, the individuals are
uniform.
These small, low-swung animals
have been developed for determina-
ton, power, keenneSs and outstand-
ing dependability. The general color
of the hair is white with slight
markings of tan or brindle on the
head and ears. This outer coat Is
hard, wiry and weather resisting;
the under coat, dense, soft and
dampproof. The tail is docked and
carried upright. The eyes are very
dark, deeply set and wide apart,
and must have the keen terrier ex-
preston. The ears are thin, folded
level with the top of the head with
the forward edge close to the cheek.
The forelegs are strong and we'll
boned; the feet, large, compact,
round, with thick pads and strong
nails. The hind legs are not so
heavily boned. The Sealyham must
have a perfectly balanced body so
as to permit great f1exibility. He
must not weigh over l8 to 20 pounds,
the females from 16 to 20 pounds,
and must not stand more than 8 to
IL inches at the shoulder.
Sealyhams had been bred for more
than so years before their entry into
the English showroom In 1908.

The name "sheik" can be pro-
nounced either "sheek" or shake,
but In this country we seldom hear
anything except "sheek." The name
came into widespread use after a
book called "The Sheik" was pub
lished in 1921 and was followed by
Q moving picture.
A sheik is an Arab leader. The
early meaning Of the name was "old
man." but a sheik may be either
young or old. To receive the title,
he may be the head of a village, clan
or tribe, or he may be held in honor
for some other reason. The leader
OF an Arab religious group Is called
. sheik.
Some persons suppose that all
sheiks are strong and handsome
The truth Is that many Of them
would win no prizes at beauty
show.
A man called "the richest sheik in
the world" died q few months ago.
He was Hamad bin Isa and he lived
on Bahrein Island in the Persian
Gulf.
Hamad's palace was given the
name of Mountain of the Mist"
1t has been compared to one of the
palaces in the Arabian Nights
stories.
The wealth of this sheik came
largely from a rich oil well on
Bahrein Island and from pearls OBJ
tanned from oyster beds near the
coasts. Pearls from those oysters
have been called "the finest in the
world"
The people of London were able
to take look at Hamad bin lisa six
years ago. He visited England and
while there he wore his royal robes,
q red coat embroidered with gold
and gold-trimmed headdress. He
paid visit to dog show and named
six Of the winners before they were

Eight years later, they were shown
in America.
The Sealyhams came from an
estate In Wales. The mansion was
built on the bank Of small stream
called Sealy, and it Is believed that
the abundance Of seals" or offers
seen on its bands was responsible
for the name. The terriers were
developed for digging the offers
from their ''holtS" That Is why the
Sealyham is 50 short-legged and
powerfully built. He must be willing
to enter the burrow of an otter or
the retreat Of a polecat (skunk in
America) and pull these animals
from their retreat. For this reason,
he must have a long. broad, powerful
head, as well as level, strong jaws
with sound teeth.
To qualify for a working certificate
in the American Sealyham Terrier
Club. q dog must demonstrate his
willingness to go to ground In q
woodchuck earth and face and hold
the quarry and draw the same. In
creased numbers of these terriers
are appearing at American kennel
shows. From time to time, the best
bred and most handsome of the
British-bre Sealyhams are imported
into the United States. Some have
brought as high as $4,000.
One glance at this small terrier
is sufficient to give you an idea OF
his charm and friendliness. He is
ever ready to begin the task de-
manded of him, and he win stay at
ii until 1t is completed.

about her. With her nose to the
ground she ran this way and ran
that way, as if hunting for q trail.
She peered into old hollow logs and
looked under little brush piles. and
so, in course of time, she came to
the hill where Prickly Porky lives.
Now Reddy had told Granny Fox
that the terrible creature that had
so frightened him had rolled down
the hill at him, for he was at the
bottom. Granny had heard that
the same thing had happened to
Peter Rabbit and to Unc' Billy Pos
sum. So, instead Of coming to the
hill along the hollow at the bottom
she came to 1t from the other way.
IF there Is anything there I'll be
behind 1t instead Of In front Of It,"
she thought shrewdly.
Evening star., 1942-06-01

As she drew near where Prickly
porky lives she kept eyes and ears
wide open, while all the time pre-
tending to pay attention to nothing
but the hunt for her dinner. No
one would ever have guessed that
she was thinking of anything else.
She ran this way and that way all
over the hill, but nothing out of
the usual did she see or hear ex-
cepting one thing! She did find
some queer marks down the hill. as
If something might have rolled
there. She followed these down to

peared.

she replied. II don't believe all I

I couldn't find so much as a wood
mouse for dinner. Do you believe

Unc' Billy coughed behind one

piled. "Yo' see, All done see that

that he knew more about dogs than

The British King made him a
knight, so some persons came to
speak of him as Sir Hamad. He
died In his palace at the age Of TO.
Like most Arabs, Hamad took the
side of the British after the opening
of the second World War. He sent
$150000 to Great Britain. saying it
was to help against ''the wicked
forces Of Hitler"
The Arabs are noted for their
strength on the battlefield and the
British have been wise in keeping
them friendly. If they had joined
the side Of Hitler 1t would have
caused added bloodshed before the
day comes when the Nazs are
beaten down.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compel"

This is not an important config- uration although Neptune is in ben- efie aspect late today. Encouraging news from the war fronts may be expected.
 HEART AND HOME: Placing of young folk who are recent gradu- ates of college will be or first con- cern in many families. Before va cation plans are carried out it is imperative for young men and young women to find their best op- portunities to serve the nation. Many who have specialized in sciences will begin important tasks in connection with the armed forces and they are under the best pos sible direction of the stars. Both young men and young women now will begin noteworthy careers that cause parents anxiety as well as pride.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Shipbuild- ing will focus interest as production for war needs is accelerated greatly. With persons of every trade and every age hard at work money will circulate freely despite r ce n methods of preventing imitation. Retail merchants will reap fair profits through the Summer. Many weddings will increase the trade of jewellers who provide high-priced gifts for brides. Engagement rings and other tokens, some of which are novel and costly, will be in de- mand.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Criticism of members of Congress will be se- were owing to the half-knowledge of war news due to necessary cen- scrship. Tn view of the fall elections there is likelihood of retirement of some representatives who have ser ved their constituents faithfully. Again the element of surprise will be evident when returns are read. As voters sacrifice more and more | they will become reStive and exact ing. Patriotism will flame high, scorching many cand idate for legislative offices.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR s: Astrologers predicted at the begin- ming of the nations participation in the Second World War that there would be many adverse ex- i periences in battles on land. on the seas and in tlfe air. This war is the supreme test of the greatest of democracies and that means that victory will be gained only af- ter long struggle. From this time on the strength of the United States will be demonstrated in gains that are steady, it is forecast, but the stars seem to warn of a terrible disaster, unexpected and unavoid- able.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good luck after difficult setbacks. Inventions will bring profit to certain men ol this birthdate.
 i Children born on this day prob. able will be kindly and sympathetic to an extent that invites imposition They have the forecast of success through special talents

POLITICAL GO-ROUND

This is Mrs. Barclay Harding Warburton's idea of the way to further national unity: Addressing meeting of the Pennsylvania State Republican Committee, the wealthy, former National Commit tee-woman shrilled, We've got three enemies to defeat-the Japs, the Germans and the Democrats -. So heavy has been the demand for copies of an article published by the Great Falls, Mont, News giving detailed record of Senator Burt Wheeler's isolationist opposi- tion that the newspaper has had to reprint it three times. .. RepreSen- tative Fred A. Hartley, New Jersey Old Guarder, is having a tough fight for reelection. The AFL and CIO have joined forces to beat him, and in joint letter have called on the Essex County COP Chairman to repudiate Hartley Representative Dan Reed, upstate New Yorker, is another Republican who is in trouble because of his isolationism. Opposition Republi- cans in his district are supporting Leon F. Roberts, able, young former Mayor of Jamestown, against Reed.
