The polar bear reaches length OF
a bit more than 10 feet. 1t is the
longest" bear, but the Kodiak bear
is stouter. and has more weight on
the average.
Polar bears find most Of their food
in the ocean. They are the best
swimmers in the entire bear family
Often they swim under water, and
they are quick enough to catch
some kinds of f1sh.
Seals also provide food for these
bears. The seals have the custom OF
summing themselves on the shore, OF
beside o hole in the ice near the
shore. The idea seems to be that
they can quickly dive into the water
if an enemy is seen. Now and then
a polar bear swims under water until
it comes up the hole in the ice and
captures a seal which has been
basking in the sun.
During the Arctic summer, polar
bears sometimes 60 about the land
and find berries to eat. They also
prey on Arctic foxes whenever they
can get within reach Of those ami
mails.
Several men on q vessel in the
Arctic Ocean decided to try to cap
ture a polar bear alive. When q
launch was lowered in the water,
they steered in front of bear which
was swimming toward an open space
between two blocks Of ice.
Instead of turning away, the bear
dove under the water and came up
near the boat. He gave the launch
a heavy whack with one of his paws.
One of the men grasped boathook
and pushed him away, and he swan
of.
At this point. another man threw
a lasso and caught the bear around

Opening LEAD, eight OF SPACES.
A retentive memory is an exag-
gerated virtue in the minds OF most
bridge players. do not mean oy
this that the absent-minded pro-
fessor will enjoy any special ad-
vantages, but contrary to popular
belief it is never essential to remem~
Der 50 cards. 1t Is orderly thinking
that is vital and If your campaign
Is properly planned there are seldom
more than few cards that you will
have to remember. The error that
MANY players make is to try to think
back in an effort to recollect. The
simple and effective technique Is to
make mental notes of the material
facts as you go along.
In today's hand watching the
spots very carefully permitted South
to enjoy the rare pleasure OF
finessing four on the third round
of the suit, The bidding followed
orthodox lines and the final con-
tract was eminently sound. 1t will
be observed that without a club
opening declarer would have several
chances for his contract. An even
break in spades would permit the
discard of a club from dummy. II
spades failed to break declarer had
the chance that the queen OF
diamonds would fall by the third
round, providing discard OF a
club out of his own hand. In the
event of the failure Of both OF these
efforts, declarer could still fall back
on the club flnesse.
West chose to open the eight OF
spades, which, from his standpoint,
did not prove to be happy choice.
The nine was played from dummy
and East's jack forced declarers
king. Trumps were drawn in two
rounds and then the 10 of spades
plaved, East covered with the queen
and South's ace won as the seven
dropped from West. At this point
the six of spades was high and West
vas marked with no more OF the
suit.
Dummy was entered with the
diamond king and the deuce OF
spades led and after East followed
with the three, the four was f1nessed.
The six of spades then provided a
discard for dummy's queen of clubs
and declarer took all 13 tricks for
an undisputed top score on the
deal.
Against q club opening declarer
would have been UP against a very
trying decision as to the manner OF
attack. Since q spade trick must
almost surely be conceded, the
choice rested between the imme-
diate club finesse, or taking the
first club and trying to ruff out the
queen Of diamonds, or attempting
the diamond finesse. to find park
ing place for declarer's losing club

Uncle Ruy's Corner

Food Is q great problem IN the
North Frigid Zone. The land above
the Arctic Circle has little plant life
and only a few kinds Of furry ami
mails. The plants which do exist
there have only . short summer
growing season.
Yet the longest bear in the world
Is found In the North Frigid Zone.
Evening star., 1948-11-26

With all hands exposed it will be
seen that the winning play on this
hand would be to ruff out the
diamond queen, though on a purely
percentage basis that play would be
inferior to the finesse OF the diamond
jack.

big beast kept on swimming until he
climbed out and stood on one Of the
ice blocks. There he bit at the rope,
rose on his hind legs, and performed
kind of dance as he jumped up
and down.
The men pulled the rope strongly
until the bear was dragged over the
edge of the ice. The launch was
started again and the bear was
pulled to the nearby ship. where 1t
was hoisted aboard with the help OF
a crane.
That polar bear was placed in a
cage, and was taken safely to port.
It was placed in the New York Zoo.
