Natures Children
By LiIIion Cox Athey

African Crested -Porcupines (Hy-
strix galeata) are much larger ami
mails than our North American
quill These relatives are two
feet long from blunt nose to fan
tastic f1ve-inch tail. Some of their
armor reaches length of 18 inches.
In East Africa where they are
known as nungers, they are held in
high regard as their flesh Is con-
sidered superior to the best chicken.
All wear very dark brown or black
fur coat covered with a vertiable
forest of needle sharp quilts, brown
in color and tipped with White. The
luxuriant crest of stiff bristles be-
come larger on the shoulders and
finally taper from 18 inches to q
few inches on the tail. The deep fur
at this point conceals the modified
quills that have lost their points and
are now hollow cylinders. They
produce loud rattling noise when
vigorously shaken by the angry por-
cupine. 3
African porcupines lead noctur-
nal life. But one is always aware of
their presence because they are
so noisy with grunts and sharp
squeals. Since these animals know
their armor is respected they always
stand their ground Occasionally,
when too annoyed they charge,
leaving reminders that smart and
pain.
Their residence is in deep tunnels
or warrenS. Some of them six feet
deep and 20 or more feet in length.
Small naked native boys fearlessly
enter these gallaries. If they are
seeking porcupines they tap on the
roof of the tunnel when an animal
has been located. Entrance is made
by digging through at this point.
If unmolested, the porcupine shows
no sign of objection to this intru-
sion.
Babies are incapable of raising
their quills at first, though they are
present as soft, pliable bristles. If
taken at this age they make lovable
pets. Trotting after their master
making happy little grunting noises
and eager to accept tidbits.
Older members of the clan are
likely to be hosts to portly, ag-
gressive flea having prodigious
number of offspring difficult to elm
mate once established in the house
and very annoying to domestic pets.

Ny Word for 1t
By Frank Colby
Pet Speech Peeye,

Today's Pet Speech Peeve comes
from Mrs. William H. Gayman Of
Burbank, Calf. For her clever verse
she will receive free an autographed
copy of my practical Handbook OF
Better English, She writes:
The error In speech .,
Most annoying to me
Is the one people make
When they speak of laundry.
My teeth are on edge
= From hearing, to wit: Il
please tell me just how !,
I should laun-dree It,"
My confidence wanes
In the salesman or miss
Who assures me, "Oh, yes,
You can laun-dree this"
There must be some way
To make people see
That the verb Is laun-der:
It's the noun that's laundry.
Mrs. Gayman has pointed out
quite common error. The same
mistake occurs in the use Of en-
broidery as a verb, as I'm going
to embroidery a little jacket for
James baby" The correct verbs,
of course, are embroider, and laun-
der, thus: d shall embroider, I
have embroidered, she embroiders,
she is embroidering. I shall lau1-
der, 1 have laundered, she launders,
she is laundering.
And speaking of laundering brings
up one Of my own pet speech
peeves-the sirupy-voiced women
broadcasters on the soap programs.
1 do not know who 1t Is that has
taught the suds-girls that lather
rhymes with father" But lather
doesn't rhyme with father; 1t
rhymes with "gather"-the "a" Is
fiat, and always has been, as any
dictionary will attest.
Assumed broad AS are bad
enough; but when they are, through
ignorance, sounded in words In
which the broad or half-broad A
never occurs, the result is-well
do not know how to put 1t exactly
into words, but you are fully aware
of the feeling it inspires.
Are you one of those who constantly
misuse that. which; and Eho? MI MI; Cqlny sy

CIumsiness FoiIs Intruder

CARLISLE, Pa. R).-This in
truder didn't give himself ghost Of
a chance. Not only did he pick q

While fearlessness is an attribute,
without which no competitor in any
field Of endeavor can hope to climb
the heights, nevertheless, it is
quality which if not held in check
can readily be turned to complac-
ency, condition which has brought
about the downfall of many a
champion at the hands of a less
capable contender.
At the card table, as elsewhere,
the time for courage is when the
outlook is dark. But when a hand
appears to be cinch, that Is the
point at which to take time out for
moment of pessimistic reflection.
1t must have been a divine in
spiration that induced North take
no further action over his partners
four spade response. He argued that
he had shown the full strength Of
his hand by the opening bid Of three
no trump, with point count Of
just Is, and that since partner was
unable to bid five spades, he did not
choose to risk slam contract. On
the other hand, it will be observed
that If South holds so little as Ave
spades to the king, queen, there Is
a splendid play for the slam. In
view of South's delivery, no fault
can be found with. North's judg-
ment.
The queen of diamonds was OPEN
ed and taken by the king. There
was nothing to it but getting out
the trumps, so South promptly fired
the ace of spades on the table.
When East showed void of the suit,
there was no way to avoid the loss
of three trump tricks and the ace
of hearts. When a contract appears
to be as ironclad as this one, the
proper procedure is for declarer to
take a moment to inquire What
accident could possibly befal me?"
The answer would be, only four
trumps in one hand" But If they
are in the East hand the contract
is secure. If, however, they happen
to be In the West hand caution must
be exercised.
The winning play is low spade
away from the ace. When East fails,
the six is played and West wins
with the 10. The jack of diamonds
will be continued, and further care
is required. Declarer must not run
out of trumps too soon, before all
his work is done. At this time the
king of hearts must be led to es-
tablish a trick in that suit. West
will win and presumably return a
club. Declarer ruffs himself in with
a diamond and leads a spade. The
jack forces the ace and dummy's
last spade is led. West wins and
declarer has two high trumps left.
Nothing can prevent him from ruff
fing himself in to draw the last
trump to cash all the high tricks.
