as If we would soon have that little
question settled. The fishermen
have been going after tuna, and
Tuna are swift, strong inhabitants
of the open seas. They travel in
schools and feast upon mackerel,
alewives, silversides, and other fish
as they 60. They may be seen
leaping out of the water after their
prey. There are four species of
tuna in the United States. The
albacore. the large tuna which
ranges along the Pacific Coast and
is rarely seen on the Atlantic Coast,
is a handsome fish.
This is the largest Gulf Of Maine
fish with the exception Of some
sharks. Some have reached q length
of II feet or more and q weight of
1000 pounds. The spawning habits
of the tunas Is clouded in mystery.
No one has ever seen the eggs or
young in American waters.
All species Of tuna range in the
open seas. When a school Is sight
ed, dippers of live sardines are
pitched overheard from large cans
to attract the tuna to the vessel.
Tuna will not eat dead fish.
Short bamboo rods. each with .

ted with a feathered lure, are used.

with q single hook, and two fisher
men must coordinate their move
ments perfectly.
The tuna is our goth century
canned product. The first packs
were made about 1909, and it took
several years to educate the public
to appreciate the tender tuna. To-
day, the pack of tuna and tunalike
fishes is second only to salmon in
point of Importance. In 1895. $780, :
734 cases, with a value to the pro-
ducers of $14,7l5,391, were packed,
and the annual production increased
greatly thereafter. However, the
latest report shows that the pack Of
tuna is less than a year ago. During
July, 400, 9,582 standard cases Of tuna
were packed by California Gamers.
Standard cases of tuna represent
cases Of 48 7-ounce cans.
Tuna will be higher In price this
winter, but the salad can be made
to go farther with a liberal addi-
ton Of celery, hard-boiled eggs and
a chopped green pepper-all welcome
additions to the rich meat. If served
with tomato aspic, or as a filling
for whole tomatoes. a satisfying meal
is assured. Use whole wheat bread
or cornsticks to 60 with 1t.

LITTLE STORIES FOR BEDTIME

keeping in the blacklist of them, and
very much like . shadow himself,
he slipped into the Green Forest.
1t was dark in there and he made
straight for Paddy's new pond
trotting along swiftly without MAX
ing a sound. When he was near the
aspen trees which he knew Paddy
was planning to cut he crept for
ward very slowly and carefully.
Everything was still as still could be.
"Good!" thought Old Man Coyote.
II am here first and now all I need
do is to hide and wait for Paddy
to come ashore"
So he stretched himself nat be-
hind some brush close beside the
little path Paddy had made up
from the edge Of the water and
waited. It was very sti1l, 30 still
that it seemed almost as II he could
hear his heart beat. He could see
the little stars twinkling in the sky
and their own reflections twinkling
back at them from the water of
Paddy's pond. Old Man Coyote
waited and waited. He Is very pa
tient when there is something to
gain by 1t. With such . splendid
dinner as Paddy the Beaver would
make, he felt that he could well
afford to be patient. so he waited
and waited and everything was as
still as II no living thing but the
trees were there. Even the trees
seemed to be asleep.
Evening star., 1942-11-30

Old Man Coyote lay stretched out
in his favorite mapping place on the
Green Meadows. He was thinking
of what he had found out up there
In the Green Forest that morning
that Paddy the Beaver was living
there. Old Man Coyotes thoughts
were very pleasant to himself
though really they were very dread
full thoughts. You see, he was
thinking how easy 1t was going to
be to catch Paddy the Beaver, and
what a splendid meal he would
make. He licked his chops at the
thought.
He doesn't know I know he's
here" thought Old Man Coyote
I'm fact I don't believe he even
knows that I am anywhere around.
OF course, he won't be watching
for me. He cuts his trees at night,
so all / will have to do is to hide
right close to where he Is at work
and he'll walk right into my mouth.
Sammy Jay knows I was UP there
this morning, but Sammy sleeps ut
night. so he will not give the alarm.
My, my, how good that Beaver will
taste!" He licked his chops once
more, then yawned and closed his
eyes for . nap.
Old Man Coyote waited until
jolly, round, red Mr.. Sun had gone
to bed behind the Purple Hills, and
the black shadows had crept out
across the Green Meadows. Then,

At last after long, long time he
heard just the faintest splash. He
pricked up his ears and peeped
out on the pond with the hungriest
look In his cruel yellow eyes. There
was a little line of silver coming
straight toward him. He knew that
it was made by Paddy the Beaver
swimming. Nearer and nearer it
drew. Old Man Coyote chuckled
way down deep inside without max
ing sound. He could see Paddy's
head now. and Paddy was coming
straight in as If he hadn't a fear
In the world.
Almost to the edge Of the pond
swan Paddy. Then he stopped. In
. few minutes he began to swim
again, but this time it was back in
the direction Of his house, and he
seemed to be carrying something.
It was one of the little food logs
he had cut that day and he was
taking 1t out to his storehouse. Then
back he came for another. And so
he kept on, never once coming
ashore. Old Man Coyote waited
until Paddy had carried the last
log to his storehouse and then with
. loud whack on the water with
his broad tail had dived and dis
appeared In his house. Then Old
Man Coyote arose and started else

"It was an easy matter to win II
tricks against any defense. But If
North had held ace-queen of hearts
and the ace and two small dia-
monds the slam would have been
far from easy to make. Was the
slam unbiddable? II not, who was
to blame?"
We think the slam was quite
biddable. With three aces in the
North hand it would be difIicult to
arrange the rest of North's strength
in such way as to yield no play
for the slam: and, with most hold
ings, the play would be very fine
one.
The fault was South's. When a
player opens the bidding with one
no trump he has very nearly defined
his entire hand. The burden, from
then on, is largely on his partner.
When South bid three spades he
was not showing very strong hand;
he simply forced to game, course,
which he would have taken with a
substantially weaker hand. After
North's raise to four spades South
should have bid five clubs. That
would have indicated interest in a
contract higher than game.
North then might make any of
several bids. Perhaps the best would
be an immediate jump to six spades.
For North must realize that his
three aces are invaluable to the sue
cess Of slam. If South happens to
have only mild slam ambitions Gas
was actually the case), North's jump
will land him in the right spot. If
South has very strong hand, he
may be encouraged to bid seven.
