Natures Children
BY EDYTH THOMAS WALLACE
FLORIDA ALLIGATOR.
By LiIIion Cox Athey

Alligators are our largest reptiles.
They closely resemble their an
cestors in all but size. In many
ways they are fascinating in be-
havior and habits. After your fear
of them has subsidized, you 60 to
visit their haunts, but always re-
member to be polite and keep out
Of the reach of the very strong tail.
One blow from this member can
throw you to the ground.
Nighttime inspires the alligators
to broadcast. Their loud bellows
can be heard for miles. The reason
seems to be news broadcasting.
Some are self-appointed weather
prophets. On a dull cloudy morn
ing one will come to the surface
of very deep water, take a deep
breath and let go a roar that may
be heard for miles. Water is good
transmitter.
In late spring the females go
a-wooing. They scramble up the
muddy banks of canal, river or
lagoon, to where the large drowsy
males are summing themselves. No
sound of greeting is passed among
them. Each female makes her
choice. She laboriously creeps over
the tough grass and ruts along the
way TO reach the stolid male anc
without so much as by your leave
she hoists her heavy body across
his head. Then she turns abou
and blows bubbles under his chin
He remains indifferent; she blows (
string of bubbles before his dull
eyes, then wanders away.
Revisit the place in July. Yol

ing up the place. AL the leave!
and debris are gathered together
and mixed with mud. When the
heap has reached a height of 81
inches, the builder craws over it tt
deposit 20 to rs goose-sized eggs il
the center. Indians and others rot
the nest. The eggs can be used
for making omelets and cake.
With the aid of the sun, the moist
mixture generates a lot of heat
The eggs are incubated for 60 to &c
days. On a warm sunny morning
in August, there are many grunting
sounds issuing from the incubator
The mother crawls up the slippery
mud bank to rip off the roof, which
releases the 8-inch baby gators who
have used their sharp tooth ON their
nose to rip open the egg shell. She
stays close by to protect the hungry
babies. Soon they find insects and
worms. Occasionally a portly frog
is captured. Two take possession
of the frantically kicking frog and
twist and pull from opposite di-
rections until the poor thing is torn
apart. The pieces are gulped down
at once.
Baby alligators are hunted by
small animals, boys and herons.
And large fish soon capture those
tumbling into the deep water. You
marvel that as many live to grow
up as do. There is a terrific loss
of numbers because Northern chill
dren and adults insist on taking
them North. Most of them die away
from brackish water and natural
environment.

The bidding:
South West North East
hearts 4-diamonds Pass Pass
hearts Pass 5hearts Pass
6 hearts Pass Pass Pass
Opening lead, king of clubs.
The term safety play" conjures
up In the minds Of most players
notions Of postgraduate technique.
While some safety plays are exclu-
sively in the province Of the experts,
nevertheless, the vast majority Of
them are the essence Of simplicity
and should be studied and applied
by even the casual player. When
a hand is apparently "in the bag"
1t is good policy to pause q moment
and ask what quirk of fate might
turn an almost assured success into
dismal failure. When q contract
appears to be cinched, 1t pays to be
pessimistic and to take precaution-
ary measures against badly break.
ing suits.
| A most unusual safety play was
executed by South of today's hand,
one that I venture to say would
have escaped the notice Of most ex-
perienced players. The opening bid
OF two hearts complies with the re-
quirements of even the most strin-
gent rules. West, protected by the
shield of nonvulnerability, attempted
to throw monkey wrench into the
machinery Of his vulnerable oppo-
nents, by pre-emptive bid of four
diamonds. Even If he were doubled
the loss would not be excessive and
the barricade bid might make 1t
difficult for the opposition to reach
their best contract. North refused
to offer free raise to four hearts,
for fear partner might expect more
in the way. of values. South chose
to go for the game rather than the
penalty and North made q belated
raise to five hearts, justified by his
sure trump trick and the singleton
diamond. He was confident, more
over, that in view of his previous
pass, not much would be expected
of him. South. Of course, cheerfuny
bid the slam.
The king Of clubs was opened and
ruffed. Had declarer thoughtleSsly
laid down the ace of diamonds with
the intention of ruffing out the other
three cards of the suit and making
an overtrick, the contract would
have been defeated, for East would
ruff the ace and return a trump,
which would leave only two trumps
in dummy to take care of three
losing diamonds.
Declarer, recalling the four-dia-
mond bid, made without the ace and
queen, felt that it was not remote
contingency that West held an
eight-card suit. In any event, he
was willing to spend 80 points to
guard against that holding. He.
therefore, abandoned the idea Of
making all the tricks and decided to
give up one diamond as a safety
measure. He Immediately returned
the deuce of diamonds. There was
nothing the defense could do to pre-
vent his ruff1ng the other two losing
diamonds. No attempt was made
to cash the ace of diamonds until
after trumps had been drawn.

Take Ny Word for 1t
By Fronk Colby
Saturday WhiriigiR.

Mobile: A local broadcaster
(WKAB) says: "And now here are
a few of the latest news."-M. L. w.
Answer: News is not plural word
although 1t is formed from new"
plus IS" in imitation Of the French
equivalent "nouvelles" The an
nouncer should say: Here are few

Mrs. L. w. c.
Answer: Unaccompanied choral

phrase cappella, Church or chapel
style" 1t is pronounced: ah kah-
PELL-lah. 1t is capitalized only
when it is part of name, as, The
Blank A Cappella Society.
San Diego: What about the word
nightingale? Is it "NY-ting-gale"?
IT. P.
Answer: "NY-ting- gale" is Gus
tomary in England. Some Ameri-
can dictionaries list it as second

ever, is: NY-tin-gale; or: NY-t'n-
gale. Nightingale evolved from the
Anglo-Saxon nihtegale, might
singer"
Milwaukee: An English teacher
Ipronounces the word senile as SEE
nile" with the long 81" in the second

BERN. It's new to mel. u.
Answer: It's French loan word
Cberme) which meant originally

Stray Dog Finds Body
OF District Nurse in
Potomac Near Romney

The body of Miss Guelda Hawkins,
48-yeaf-old Washington nurse, was
found yesterday in the south branch
of the Potomac River near Romney,
w. Va, after hunter was drawn
to the scene by the strange antics
Of a dog.
Miss Hawkins, a native of Frost
burg, Nd, was last seen when she
visited her sister, Mrs. Marjorie
Evans, in Frostburg Monday. At
that time, Mrs. Evans said. Miss
Hawkins planned to return to Wash
ington and close her apartment at
to Frostburg for the winter.
West Virginia State Trooper F. H.
Tribett said her car, 1941 Chevro-
let, contained a penned note saying
she was too i'll to go on" and di-
recting that the car should be given
to Mrs Evans and her husband.
Body in Shallow Water.
Lewis West, owner of the Blue
Beach Tavern, which is 200 yards
from the Potomac bridge on State
Route %, discovered Miss Hawkins
body in shallow water under the
bridge after investigating the
strange conduct of huge stray dog.
Mr.. West said he had started
hunting yesterday and as he walked
under the bridge the dog made an
attempt to attack him. He said it
apparently had been there for some
time, judging by the well-tracked
ground. 1t appeared hungry and
when he took it home to feed it the
dog still appeared restless.
The tavern owner returned to the
scene, then saw the body near the
shore. He said he had seen Miss
Hawkins car about so yards north
of the tavern for two days.
Nurse for ~ Years.
Mrs. Evans said her sister ap-
peared in good spirits during her
Monday visit and had planned to
return to Frostburg for Thanks
giving dinner.
Miss Hawkins, a graduate OF
Homeopathic Hospital here, had
been a nurse % years, her sister
said. She was registered with the
Washington Nurses Registry and
only recently had a private nursing
case at Prince Georges General
Hospital, Cheverly, Md.
She is survived by two other
sisters and two brothers.

ton to the proposed revision on
embassy liquor purchases. For years
embassies have been held to be con-
sumers and, therefore. not eligible
to buy at the wholesale rates. They
have applied for permission to buy
at the wholesale price here. A
ruling in their favor would not
waive District and Federal tax,
however, Mr.. Payne explained.
