a "soft-shelled crab" Thousands
of soft-shelled crabs are sold on
the market. They bring a good
price If they can be sold not more
than 48 hours after the old shell Is
cast.
Atlantic fishermen often keep blue
crabs alive until after they mott.
Black lines appear on certain of the
legs, giving a warning that such
molt is not far distant. These lines
change to white, then to red. About
two days after the red color is seen
the old shell is cast off and brand
new soft-shelled crabs are ready to
go to market.
Grabs which live in the ocean, or
in fresh water, have giIs with which
to take oxygen from water. Land
crabs, on the other hand, have lungs
of a sort in the same places where
water crabs have gills. With these
lungs they can use oxygen in the
air. Some land crabs have lost
their power of breathing under
water. If they are kept below the
surface of a lake or river very long
they will drown.
Around the shores of Great Brit
ain we find masked crabs" They
were so named because they have
-masklike faces on their shells.
Looking at a masked crab from
the rear you may make out roughly
the eyes, nose and mouth of
human face. With more careful
study, however, you will find that
the face Is not real. The true eyes
are on stalks little distance from
the markings which seem like eyes.

What a business 1t is for a crab to
get out of its shell! It must tug and

Sometimes the crab dies as re-
suit of the struggle. More often it
lives, but then 1t Is weak and not
able to hold off an enemy which
may attack. For some days 1t hides
from the world, waiting for its new
shell to harden.

There are more than a handful of
bridge players who seem to feel it is
their duty to bid whenever it be-
comes their turn. Whenever they
manage to get bid by the enemy
without a double they cherish the
feeling that they have won some kind
of battle. The truth is that they
lose more than they win, even If
their bid Is not punished.
West could hardly be blamed for
leading his king of hearts in view
OF East's overcall. South won it,
led diamond to dummy and re-
turned the ten of spades. When
East played small, declarer went up
with the king, for he feared heart
ruff and wished to draw trumps as
quickly as possible He continued
with trump, which East won, and
another heart was played.
South won it and played a third
trump. West took his queen and
exited with diamond, and now
South saw good chance for an
overtrick. He trumped diamond,
then led his last trump and the last
heart honor. West let go a club
and a diamond Declarer threw
dummy's diamond, played a club to
dummy's ace and pushed the jack
through. East covered and the
queen and ten fell together.
