TUFTED PUFFIN.

H1tSOu C6ftUta.(
Iufted pufans or sea parrots have
selected the islands along the shores
OF British Columbia for their sum-
ner home. These puffins have ter
rltory or range which includes the
coasts and islands of the Arctic
Ocean, Bering Sea and North Pa
clflc from Cape Lisburne, Alaska.
south to the Santa Barbara Islands
in California and from the Bering
Sea to Japan.
Tufted pufflns are wierd- looking
birds. They seem to be pushing a
great red beak behind a masked
white face with a vermillion eye
ring. At each corner of the mouth
Is a yellow rosette. During the sum-
mer, the putin wears sideburns of
straw-colored feathers 4 inches in
length. The crown, between the crest
and upper parts, with the exception
| OF line of white along the fore
arm, is glossy blue black. The un-
derparts are pale brown, the feet
pale salmon and the eyes pale blue,
| The remarkable apendage is used
as a weapon of defense Eighteen of
the horny plates form the bill in
| courting season: sixteen drop of,
leaving it much smaller and a
brownish color.
| Tufted puffins nest on the Faral-
Ions of the California coast. Only
barren rocks are here. The birds in
spect them for holes or crevices. One
white egg is laid. If the puf1ns have
chosen the northern coast, q 4-foot
layer OF dirt on the precipice affords
a softer mattress for the eggs.
The young putin is clothed In 4
coat Of thick down. He looks like A
giant powder puff. Settled in it, his
face resembles that of bright rat
peeping from a hole.
Natives catch the tufted puffins In
nets. They eat them and use their
skins for clothing. The tough skins
are sewn together so that the feath-
er side is in.

Opening lead: Jack of spades.
The bidding of todays hand was
very involved and perhaps open to
considerable criticism. East's Jump
rebid to three diamonds is in fact
a mild underbid, but no more salts
factory call is available. West rec
1 ognizes at this point that there Is
slam in the hand, because he him
self holds more than an opening
bid. He actually has some aspira-
tions for grand slam and there
fore elects to show the ace Of
spades.
There Is a danger that the bid
might be misunderstood by partner
as showing spade suit, but this
can always be corrected later with
a hand this strong East's bid Of
four hearts also entails some dam
ger, because partner might read it
as showing six diamonds and four
hearts. But 1t is worth the risk.
Vests jump to six diamonds Is
eminently sound, but East's grand
slam bid is highly speculative. He
justified it on the ground that at
worst it would involve a club
flnesse with the added chance that
partner might have the queen and
two other hearts.
South opened the jack of spades.
Declarer drew the trumps and took
the club finesse with prayer, but
the gods were not good. East's play
was quite thoughtless, because he
did not give himself every chance.
There was remote possibility that
both the queen and jack of hearts
would fall by the third round II
that suit were tried. 1t wasn't a
very good chance to be sure, but it
was better than nothing. 1t is
simple arithmetic that 81 is more
than so. Not much more, but more
nevertheless. And since there was
no additional charge, why not take
the larger sum?
The spade should have been won
In the closed hand and trumps
drawn. The ace and king of hearts
should be cashed. II an honor does
not fall, the club finesse must be

is we'll to develop the habit of post
poning illnesses.
