by r hANN NULD1
Readers Corner.

From E. G., Los Angeles:
Oh, Colby, dear Colby, please come
to my aid.
I'm asking you, brother, to join my
crusade.
I pray that you won't turn your
back on my plight
I've spent the best years Of my life
in the fight.
Come fly in the face of popular
trend
And help me get rid Of our mutual
friend
Answer: You've talked me into it.
But it may be just another lost
cause.
It's hard to believe, but mutual
friend which is incorrect, accord
ing TO modern usage. may be laid at
the door of Charles Dickens. who
used Our Mutual Friend" as the
title of a novel The truth is. the
book title is a quotation Of illiterate
usage.
Mutual should be avoided in the
meaning Of shared in common"
Strictly speaking, mutual means
reciprocal: interchNnged; recipro-
CdIlS given Vi eACIldllSeu- 1lluS,
two men may share mutual
friendship or hatred; they may work
together to their mutual adVan-
tage: they may obligate themselves
by a mutual pledge of friendship.
Also, they may be mutual friends
their friendship is reciprocal or in
terChanged. However, TO say that
A and B are mutual friends" is
redundant.
Now A and B have friend, C.
But c is not their mutual friend"
for the reason that he is not recip-
rocauv given or exchanged or owned
by A and B.
Let us put it this way: A and B
have Just been introduced They
discover that they both know C. To
say that c is their mutual friend
"a friend shared between them and
only them) is clearly nonsense.
Correctly speaking, C is the COM
mon friend of A and B.

are gentle and inoffensive, clothed
in colors blending best with the soil
on which they live. Many of them
are gray-White with markings of
black, brown, white and yellowish
which camoufiage them perfectly.
Horned lizards are viviparous.
They give birth TO their Young, 6
to II, in the same fashion as vivi-
parous snakes. They are encased in
a transparent envelope from which
they easily escape. From the mo-
ment they break through their
sheath, they are frisky and inde-
pendent. They possess rudimentary
horns, but not the rough spiny
exterior of their parents.
While the sun is unbearably hot
they make their couch and crawl
under Scorching sand blankets for
the night. They put their heads IN
the sand plowing for several inches
tossing it over on their back. Then
the sharp, spiny borders of their
sides widen the couch. The looSened
sand soon covers the worker and he
disappears until the next day.

Opening lead: Four Of spades.
Conceding one trick in order to
gain three appears to be sound in
vestment tactics and I think calls
for no persuasion from me. Never
theless it seems different somehow,
The bidding of today's hand is
given as it actually occurred. 1t
most decidedly has not the indorSe-
ment of this department. We shall
pass without objection over the
opening bid, though it is strictdly of
the adding machine variety. Every
queen, jack and 10 had to be COM
puted in order to arrive at the high
card requirement.. North's take-out
Of two clubs is routine, but South's
rebid of two no-trump is worthy
of special demerit. The rebid of two
no-trump should never be employed
when a player has opened with a
minimum. This type of rebid should
not be used for the purpose of get
ting out of tight spot. 1t always
denotes good hand. North's raise
to three no-trump is entirely proper.
The question is raised: What
should South do after opening with
one diamond? Modern players.
when they find themselves in this
predlcament crawl out. not by bid
ding two no-trump. but by pretend
ing that they have five diamonds.
Now, mind you. four-card suit
should not be rebid, but occasionally
a heart does get mixed up with
your diamonds. This is one of the
occasions.
West led the four of spades and
East won with the ace. He refeXly
returned his partners suit and the
game was over. Declarer immedi-
ately cleared the clubs and nine
tricks were there for the asking. A
moments thought should have pro-
vided East with the key to the sue
cessful defense. In all probability
declarer will require the club suit
in order to fulfill his contract. II he
is deprived of the use Of that long
suit the defense should have splen-
did chance. East can arrange IN
hold up his ace until the third
round. hoping that the declarer will
have no more of the suit, but such
tactics will avail nothing so long
as dummy retains the ace OF hearts
for entry. If the entry card can be
removed the clubs will not be avail
able.
The ace of hearts must be driven
out at ali costs. At trick two, there
fore. the proper return is the king
of hearts. 1t is true that this play
will probably cost the heart trick
but it certainly is fair exchange
for the three club tricks that 1t
prevents declarer from using. In
bridge very frequently penny wise Is
pound foolish.
