For all we know, this may well be the last time this column ap- years under this name for we have a competitor who would like to take over this space with an "Ad- vice to Bewildered Bridegrooms" piece. Daddy" Holmes tried out his skill verbally by cornering the newest husband in the outfit, Price Barnes, as soon as he had returned from his wedding.
 All in all, it was a tough week for Pappy Flanigan. First, there was the telegram from the Missus announcing a delayed arrival, and then it was a tussle with the final statements. During the latter, he let his jealousy get the better of him, and did his best to destroy one of the Discharge Certificates, blaming it all on his ineptness with his typewriter.
 "One mans meat" they say, "is another mans poison" It was great news for Ed Derby when the call came for him to leave for O.. c. S., but for the rest of us, the loss of Ed was bad news. As a going away gift, the boys filled his trav- cling bags with his well-loved doughnuts, and several books of "Terry and the Pirates" These latter, we feel, will go far toward helping him make a good impress sion down at O.C.S., and will help him while away his many free hours. From all of us-the very best of luck.
 Ed' departure left us with an opening for the position of Chief Clerk, and Cpl. Michaelson decided that it should be filled by popular election. He, himself, officiated over the polls and, oddly enough, came out we'll on top although he had to stuff the box with the names of thirty-odd former Bradley Finan- ciers. The election was sorely con- tested, so Jack Batten was ap- pointed to handle the vacancy.

There Is a natural disinclination to
oppose legislation that you know

He said some amendments may be
offered in the senate but did not
speculate on their nature.
The house authorized the one

Like Mexicans and other persons
Of the Latin race, snipes take .
"siesta," or rest, during the hot
hours of the day. The best time to
find them at work Is the early part
of the worning, late afternoon or
at twilight time.
The work" of a snipe is chiefly
hunting for food. 1t pushes its bill
into mud to find worms, and also
eats many kinds Of insects. Diving
beetles and grasshoppers are among
the insects which they gobble up.
Snipes are greedy eaters and do
not seem to know when TO stop.
A tame snipe, kept in Great Britain.
is reported to have eaten twice its
own weight in worms in IL hours.
If the report Is true, that snipe did
better than most moies can do about
eating their own weight"
In the mating season, male snipes
have the habit of rising high in the
air and then making q swift dive
toward the ground. Sometimes
they make drumming or bleating
sounds while diving.
Some hunters like to shoot the
snipe, because its flesh is good to
eat and because it is hard to bring
one down. When a snipe Ii
flushed" it darts into the air In
hurry, flying in a zigrg path.
To take good aim is q task for
the hunter.
A man who hunts snipes Is said
to be "sniping." We also speak Of
"sniping" and Shippers" in war, for
men who shoot from q distance at
few enemy troops. The history
Of the word "sniper" seems to have
been lost, but it may have grown
from the word used for the hunting
of snipes.

Possibly North should have passed
four hearts and South certainly
should have surrendered when North
bid four spades. The fact remains
that the cards were distributed so
fortunately that South should have
made six hearts, even with q dia-
mond opening.
Dummy's diamond ace won the
opening lead and South played a
spade to his queen. He next played
a trump to the king, then dis
carded two diamonds on the top
spades. But he then had to con-
cede a diamond and club trick to
go down one.
While South's line of play gave
him no chance for success, he could
have made the hand.
Here is how the play should go:
After the opening lead the ace,
king of spades should be played,
South discarding his club. Then
the club king should be led through
East. Whether East covered or not,
two club tricks would become es-
tablished and South could get rid
of two diamonds Finally South
could get back to his hand by ruffing
either spade or club, draw
trumps and concede but one trick
in diamonds.
