GREEN JAPANESE PHEASANT
By Lillian Cox Athey

Japanese pheasants, green or 9TH
ers, must be sought within sight OF
titled fields or human dwellings.
Because of the dense population Of
Japan, pheasants are dependent
upon laws to protect them. Al
though farmers ana peasants are
permitted to do a fair amount Of
poaching and trapping, it is accom-
plished with considerable caution,
since the laws concerning these
birds are very strict.
Green pheasants range the is
lands of Japan with the exception
of Yezo. They are handsome birds,
especially the male, whose dark me-
tallic green crown, nape, mantle,
throat, breast and under posterior
parts CLEAN like FURNISHED metal in
the sun. About his neck is rich
purple and his scapulars are cop
perry red. The mantle is black-cen-
tered and marked well with con-
centric lines of tan. His wing COW
erts have a bluish-slate hue, chang
ing to greenish on the rump and
upper tail coverts. The greenish
tail with gray accents is barred in
black and widely fringed with pur-
pile. His face is scarlet. His mate
is modestly clothed in sandy brown
barred and marked with black. Her
neck and mantle is definitely pink
ish and the middle entirely black
with wide tip of metallic green
Her tail is a pinkish buff, barred
with black and tan. The birds COM
plement each other in lovely color
combinations.
These birds are the most out
standing of all the Phasianus group
of pheasants and separated from
the others by a water barrier. On
the three fair-sized islands which
form their homelands, these birds
prefer the lowlands and rarely reach
any height on the ranges and
mountains of the interior.
So you will see these pheasants
as well as the copper ones on the
reservations where the troups are
training. No fear is evidenced. You
may approach the birds to study
them at close range. They have
become so used to the din and roar
of voices and sham battles, you are
merely part of the SHOW" to
them.
So, they help themselves to vege-
table gardens nearby and they grub
hunt in the muddy rice fields. AT
night green pheasants seek a spot
known as a form" where they hud-
die close together much like our
bob white. There are worn patches
and much down together with a
contour feather here and there as
evidence. There are no high trees
in which they could roost and how
they manage their beautiful tail
feathers has not been mentioned In
books or reports. %
Mid February is the counting
month. From every hillock mating
calls are broadcast. It is now their
plumage is the most brilliant, and
their battles most fierce.

Ny Word for 1t
By Frank Colby
Readers Corner,

NeauerS COFners
From Florence M. Stellwasen,
Washington:
I love the Church Of England,
And those who naught against"
her
It seems to me might practice
Till they can say: Westminster,
Because, for better English,
The outlook Is quite sinister
When network commentators
Keep calling 1t West Minister"
From r. G. S., Montgomery: A
local reporter, who writes about
society goings-on, referred recently
to "the Henry Finn. jrs." I wrote
to her that I didn't like 1t. She re-
piled that, Ito the purist, the phrase
the Henry Finn, jrs.' doubtless is
teeth-grinding offense. But to write
the Henry Flinne, IT, might be
taken to be an affection" How would
you write It?
Answer:
I write not of society
Otis not one OF my sins);
But If I did, I'd word 1t thus:
The junior Henry Films.
Chief Of the things that I'd avoid
In social journalese,
Is mentioning: 1.-THE parents OF
The lovely bride-to-be's!"
From J. G.. Bayonne: When she
appeared before Congress some time
ago, Nine. Chang declared: In
dehiscence will not equip us for the
struggles Of life. This is the cenote
of learning" I don't get it.
Answer: It's too much for me. too.
But my assistant, DR.. Etaoin
Shrdlu, explains 1t thus: "Harumph!
Indehiscence is a term used in bot
any to describe the condition Of
remaining closed at maturity. Cenote

Opening lead, jack Of hearts.
The evils Of indiscriminate over
calls, which. far from being a NUS
ance, actually provide aid and COM
fort to the enemy, were never bet
ter illustrated than In today's hand
from the individual championship
at the recent national tournament
in Atlantic City. This event was
won by Ludwig Kabakjian of Phil
adelphia, who by this victory joined
the very select group of only four
players in the Nation who this year
won two national championships.
His other win was registered In the
mixed-team-of-four event last sum-
mer.
South chose to open with one
spade, procedure with which we
are not in accord. Two-and-a-half-
trick hands should not be opened
without good fve-card suit, or at
least without another biddable suit
to provide the convenience of q
rebid. II partner should make an
early penalty double this hand has
not the expected defense strength
nor convenient place to which to
retreat should opener choose not to
stand for such penalty double.
East's overcall of three hearts Is the
one to which reference was made
above. 1t seems to me the surest
way to deplete ones supply Of ready
cash.
West opened the jack of hearts.
In the absence of the overcan sound
play by declarer would result in the
defeat of the contract. Declarer Is
presented with an apparent choice.
He can discard both diamonds out
of dummy on his two high hearts,
and then hope to pick up the queen
of clubs. Or he might discard two
clubs from dummy and play for the
diamond finesse. Proper technique
calls for the postponement Of the
decision by ruffing the first heart.
Trumps are then extracted and de-
clarer should plan to give himself
two chances. He should FIRST play
the ace and king Of clubs in the
hope that the queen will drop. When
this fails the two clubs are discarded
on the ace and king OF hearts and
then the diamond finesse is tried.
AS will be observed both these plays
fail and the contract is defeated
trick, though declarer actually has
given himself the best percentage
chance.
The vulnerable overcall by East,
however, changes the complexion OF
the problem. That East lacks the
king of diamonds is almost incon-
ceivable, so that declarer must
abandon the diamond flnesse and
concentrate on the club suit. With
six clubs out the advantage Is
naturally with the club finesse,
rather than the play for the drop.
so that the fnesse of the jack OF
clubs becomes marked and brings
in the contract. When last seen
East was making inquiries as to
painless methods of removing ones
tongue.
