Handsome pintails may be seen
on Federal refugees along their fiy-
ways, as they stop overnight to en-
joy the abundance of food and the
sure protection awaiting them.
These birds are less gaudily at
tired than some of their cousins,
but they appear extremely well
groomed in their gray, white and
brown uniforms. All are swift,
graceful f1iers.
These ducks are from "a to 80
inches long. The female is clothed
in brown, blending perfectly with
her surroundings when brooding her
eggs. The males head is CLOSED
with green and purple. The two
black central tail feathers are from
5 to 9 inches long, hence the names
pintail. sharptail, spiketail and
spindletail.
The nest is located on the ground,

FROM Mrs. P. A, Montgomery:
Please set me straight on words like

cree are Criticisms and are plainly
labeled as such by WebSter's New
International Dictionary. Second

can authorities.

compels any American or any Amer

which is decided by ones own good

On the other hand, those who be-
lieve that culture is best served by
blurring the last three syllables of
such words as dictionary, secretary,
military, are hereby requested to be
entirely consistent. They are in
vited to use the British telescoping
on these other words of the same
family. Try it for truly laughable
results.

BY Dove Breeer Goren on BRIDGE


Pass Pass
Opening lead, 10 of hearts.
We have recently commented a
number of times on the fallacious
doctrine that undergame contracts
should not be doubled without the
holding of two trump tricks. A
sounder policy is to double the OPP
ponents when you are quite con-
vinced that they cannot fulfill the
contract which they have under
taken, with the proviso, of course,
that you cannot score more points
by going on with the bidding
yourself Many times sure set is
ignored because it is apparent that
it will be more profitable to go on
and bid a game or a slam.
In today's hand from a recent
tournament the South player went
one step farther and made penalty
double of the adverse contract with
out the sign of a trump trick. North
opened the bidding on the barest
of minimums. Many players object
to opening on three bare aces, but
such action is recommended where
the opening bid can be one club, in
asmuch as the rebid is not apt to
be embarrassing. Partner may re-
spond with one of any suit and the
opener can discharge his obligation
to speak again by calling one no.
trump.
South responded with one heart
rather than one spade. He reasoned
that if his partner had four rep
resentative spades the opportunity
would be afforded to show them at
the level of one. West overcalled
with two diamonds and relieved
North of the duty to speak. When
it got back to South he engaged in
little simple arithmetic. Since
North had been unable to make a
free rebid it was highly improbable
that his side could go game Against
the diamond contract, however, a
number of tricks could be counted
on. Since North had not supported
hearts it was not improbable that
three tricks could be taken In that
suit: the spade holding would in
conjunction with partners holding,
very probably produce a trick, and
the opener could be counted on to
develop three defensive tricks. On
this count the contract could be set
two tricks, so South doubled.
The ten of hearts was opened.
South won with the queen and re-
turned a trump. North took with
the ace and continued with a heart.
North ruffed the fourth round,
cashed the ace of clubs and got out
with trump. This forced declarer
to lead away from the king OF
spades. The total casualties were
four heart tricks, two spades, 8
club and diamond Down three.
The 500 points were a handsome
reward for North and South. who. it
will be seen. could not possibly have
scored game
