Hobbies and Lobbyists
News of Group Meetings and Local
Exhibitions
Rv Edmond Henderer,

For some people travelling has been
a hobby, or least it was before war
upset the world. The comparatively
few who had unlimited means could
revisit favorite spots as often as they
desired but the great majority of us
had to plan our trips carefully in
order to extract the most from them.
Some times trips represented many
years of such planning
Such a trip was made about 1925
by Mr. and Mrs. Homer Guerry. Mr..
Query was of French ancestry and
all his life he had a great interest
in that nation. He studied the Ian
guage and the country carefully. He
and Mrs. Guerry. together with a
friend Miss Longfellow, planned to
spend two years in Europe.
They were faced with the usual
problem of extracting the most from
their trip and of securing all their
pleasant memories for later years.
Their solution. while basically very
simple, was also very effective. due
largely to their thoroughness in car
rying it through. They collected
postcards.
This was not done haphazardly,
nor were the cards mailed back
home, Instead. each of the three
bought the cards inexpensive ones)
which depicted scenes of personal
interest. Thus each brought back
home a colorful diary of the trip.
Now, more than Is years later, each
can re-live the entire trip at will
without having to depend on men,
ory to recolor distant scene.
With two years in which to do the
job most of it spent in France it
was possible for these three to really
see and know the country. They did
not stop at the usual tourist hotels.
but stayed in the places frequented
by the natives themselves. They had
time to visit and appreciate the little
known beauty spots as well as the
world-renoWned cathedrals, cities
and art galleries. All are recorded
in their cards.
Mrs. Guerry has her cards all neat
~ llled, aCCOrdlng 10 geographical
location, in large cabinet in her
home. Mention any spot in France
and if she has been there she can
quickly show you her pictorial record
of it. All the little memories, which
the years so often dim. are re-
vitalized by her collection. giving
further proof to the old saying. cred
tied to the Chinese, that one picture
is worth a thousand words.
Some folks will object that they
would rather take their own, photo
graphs of these scenes. Mrs. Guerry
did take some, and she also kept
notes on outstanding features of the
trip. But to have photographed all
the scenes shown in her cards
probably would have cost her more

Gertrude j. asks for a description
OF the most interesting deal in
brldge. This is something upon
which the experts are likely to diff
Ter and be able to present forceful
arguments in support of their con-
tentlcns. From the standpoint of
the most interesting" the deal that
gives one hand a solid suit of one
denomination should not be so des-
lgnated, nor should one where
partnership holds all the high cards,
Both will make grand slam auto
matlcally even for the novice who
knows nothing of the game.
Far more interesting is the So
called pattern hand where the
placement of the cards is not of
necessity definitely fixed and NAV
be much more frequently held than
solld suit hands, and which calls for
the exercise of good judgment and
skill to realize the maximum re-
suit. In this connection the deal
that always intrigued us is given
below. We do not know where it
was played, who played it or wheth
erm 1t was ever played. but was
simply devised by some problem
shark intent upon puzzling the
players.

Even the experienced breeder is
sometimes startled by the human
reactions OF his dogs. Unfortunate
ly, Jealousy is one of the human re-
actions most frequently encountered
among dogs. At Beech Tree Farm
there is an old collie named Roder-
lex which for some reason is par
tlcularly beloved by all the smaller
dogs and puppies. One of Roder-
lex greatest admirers is the sheltie
called Soldier. On every occasion

exhibition of himself by licking the

hanging around the big dog and
kissing him on the mouth. When
Soldier saw this, he was incensed.
In spite of the well-krfown gallantry
of the Soldier and in spite of Ewes
sex, he did his best to drive her
away from the big dog. Not being
successful with ordinary maneuvers,
he grabbed her by the long hair on
the back of her neck and dragged
her away, then chased her clear out
of the fenced back yard. Hurrying
back to Roderick, he pranced and
twisted himself, doing his utmost to
induce Roderick into their old game

South is dealer and his side is vul-
nerable. His contract is to make a
grand slam in spades. Many adver-
saries would double on the ground
that where the leader holds poten-
tial trick and half plus. a grand
slam bid should be doubled. This is
not valid. He would not know, of
course. that his partner held a var
borough, but nevertheless would hope
to make club trick and possibly a
heart trick. or both. His natural
lead would be the king of clubs, al
though the lead makes no difference
for seven spades can be made against
any defense If the hand is skillfully
played. South wins with the ace and
discards a diamond from dummy,
not heart. He must save his hearts
|~to trump and thereby reduce the
number OF spades in his own hand.
He reaches dummy by leading the
six of spades to the ten, then plays
the ace of hearts upon which he dis
cards the ace of diamonds, then the
five Of hearts and trumps with the
ace. Back to dummy he goes with
the seven of spades to the jack.
Leading the queen of hearts he
trumps with the nine. He now has
only one trump while West and
North each have two, but Norths
trumps are high. On the fourth lead
of spades he deposits the king of
diamonds and trumps being exhaust
ed all of dummy's diamonds are good
and he makes his grand slam in
spades. The North hand, however,
wins 10 of the 13 tricks.

altering and repairing old ones.
Then through the spring, summer
