When declarer is offered 100 per
cent sure way of making hand,
there is no excuse for his accepting
else. When he loses an
iron-clad hand, because Of an ex-
tremely unfortunate distribution, he
should not be heard to complain
about his hard luck, even though he
might have come out with his skin
95 per cent of the times on the
method of play he selected.
The bidding was very fine. and
though no artificial devices were en-
ployed, the grand slam was reached
with complete assurance on ines
capable inferences. The first round
of bidding was normal enough. if
we allow for the thinness of East's
nonvulnerable overcall at the level
of one. Norths jump to four spades
is, perhaps, a slight overbid, but
when it is considered that he took
that action only after his partner
had made a free bid, do not think
it can be criticized. South naturally
made a slam try by showing the
clubs. IT was easy for him to see
that slam was in reach, since part
ner had neither good spades nor
solid clubs, and yet was able to jump
to four spades.
After the club bid, North jumped
to a slam because he felt that every
thing was now under control. 1t re.
quired no highly developed spirit Of
adventure for South to go all the
way. On his partners strong bid
ding, there could not be any pos
sible doubt that he had both red
aces and also a singleton. The clubs,
except for the ace and queen, were
sure to be solid and provide any
discards that might be needed
1t was a pity to have such good
bidding spoiled by an error in tech
nique. The king of diamonds was
opened, won by declarer and two
rounds Of 1runps promptly taken.
When West showed up with four
spades, the contract could not be
fulfilled. There were IL top card
tricks in sight and the 18th would
have to be scored on a ruff in
dummy. but, unfortunately, declarer
could not get back to his hand to
ruff the heart, since West was void
of clubs.
Insurance of the contract would
have been a most simple matter. lin
the absence of five trumps in one
hand, against which holding de-
clarer would be helplessD On win
ming the diamond opening, declarer
should cash the ace Of hearts, enter
his own hand with the queen Of
spades. ruff a heart, draw trumps
and claim the balance of the tricks.
Six clubs, four spades, two aces and
a ruff add up to 13.

Take Ny Word for 1t
BY Fronk Colby
Some Points of Usage.

Slip O. the tongue: 4 couldn't
find it nowheres." There are two
mistakes in this common expression:
% 1t contains a double negative
couldn't and nowheres. (2) 1t is
dialectal to add IS" to the word no.
where. Correct: I couldn't find 1t
anywhere.
Wrong: "She was nowheres to be
seem Right: She was nowhere to
be seen.
Wrong: Place it anywheres you
prefer" Righ: Place it anywhere
you prefer.
Wrong: He lives anywherc a.
Ohio" Right: He lives somewhere
in Ohio.
Wrong: HE has travelled every
where's" Right: He has travelled
everywhere.
In short, do not add So to any
where. everywhere, nowhere, some
where.
Slip O. the tongue: He is no place
to be found" Highest American
authority holds that mo place" for
nowhere is dialectal or a vulgarism.
Better say: He is nowhere to be
found =
Wrong: "I couldn't find it any
place" Right: I couldn't find it
anywhere.
Wrong: I'VE looked every place
for it Right: We looked every
where for it.
Wrong: "He lives some place in
Ohio" Right: He lives somewhere
in Ohio
The improperly of the wrong"
examples is that place" is a noun
and cannot act as an adverb. On
the other hand. anywhere. every
where, nowhere and somewhere are
adverbs and properly modify the
verbs have, find looked, lives.
Slip O. the tongue: Il did not sus-
picion that he was guilty" No: sus-
picion is a noun, not verb. Right:
I did not suspect that he was guilty.
Wrong: 81 suspicioned that he
took the money" Right: susr
pected Chought, feared, believed
that he took the money.
Wrong: Il kept suspicioning it
would happen" No, decidedly
There is no such word as suspicion
ing. Better say: I kept expecting
it to happen. Or: kept thinking
it would happen al
Suspicion, remember, is noun
Correct: ! had a. suspicion of his
guilt. His actions aroused my sliS-
picion. had not the least suspir =
cion that they were married.

WOODCHUCK.
By Liljion Cox Athey

Woodchucks belong to the rodent
group and are members OF the
famous seven sleeper club. They
lack the restlessness, mischievous-
ness and vivacity of their red squir-
rel neighbors and their slowness OF
wit bellies their clownish expression
From Georgia and New Mexico to
Labrador and Alaska and even be-
yond the Arctic Circle, woodchucks
roam. They always select the sunny
side or southern exposure for a
domestic when possible. When
they have chosen domicile in pas
tureS river banks or meadows, it is
because they can enjoy sunbaths.
In the sand dunes of northwestern
Indiana woodchucks enjoy prosper
ity.
You nearly always find wood
chucks with a rounded contour and
know they have been living we'll
With the exception of early spring
when they make their appearance
after a long sleep. they have a ro-
tound body which prevents then
from getting over the ground with
speed.
Few realize these animals are
closely related to the squirrel fam
lily. But the skull is scientific proof
they are. Woodchucks are about
"a inches long, with short tail and
sturdy short legs. Their skin Ii
thick and their fur Is a grayish griz.

The eyes have benign expression
which can at times be called quiz

The woodchuck Is vegetarian

garden vegetables. Therefore the,

farmers. Besides, their dugout

and cattle to step In.
The burrows show the woodchucl

misplaced modifiers, of which these
are typical:

4 4 Pass 40 PASS
"a Pass Pass Pass
In the handling Of rockcrushers.
the information that partner has
one ace may be inadequate where
only specific ace will serve the
purpose. This is always true where
a void suit is held and partners
ace may be in that suit. In such
cases the direct method is more apt
to prove effective.
When I saw the above hand
played, South in a softly modu-
lated tone, opened with two spades
and received cheerful raise from
partner. The vision of q grand
slam passed before him In all its
splendor and impulsively he uttered
the magic words -four no trump"
North dutifully made the Black
wood response of five diamonds
indicating one ace and South was
right back where he started. Un-
willing to take the $3.50 chance
that it was the ace Of diamonds,
he was content to bid only six
spades and was dismayed to find
that he could spread 13 tricks.
1t is, perhaps. too obvious for me
to point out that the South hand Is
not the type on which the Black
wood convention should be en-
ployed. If the 4 Of clubs were con-
verted into a heart, then the con-
vention would be beautifully ap-
plicable, since the only concern OF
the holder would be the number OF
aces held by partner.
In the direct method shown In
the diagram above, the bidding is
the essence OF simplicity. After
spades have been supported, ths
opener goes out on fishing ex.
pedition by bidding four clubs, at
which point 1t is the duty. Of re-
sponder to show an ace If he has
one. The only risk involved In the
grand slam is that North may
have raised on four spades to the
10, in which case the grand slam
would not be a sound gamble. but
there would still be a reasonably
good chance Of picking up the
queen.
There is certain school OF
players who in response to two
bids, Immediately show aces re-
gardless of suits On this hand the
perfect results is easy to obtain with
this method. But most of the ex-
perts prefer to make natural
response first Showing their suit
If they have a good one) and to
postpone the showing Of aces until
the next round.
In many instances, the knowl-
edge that responder has a suit
which can provide discards. will
enable opener to bid slam which
no amount Of ace showing could
accomplish. Take the following
hand for example:
AAKQJxx AK
OK 0Axx
HAxx oxxx
AAKx AQJl0sx
In response to an opening two
spade bid. If East shows the ace of
hearts, West will still be con-
cerned about his losers In diamonds
and clubs. But If the response Is
three clubs, the subsequent show
ing of the ace of hearts, will enable
opener to count to 13.
