North Carolina Avenue M. p
Church was formally organized
November %, 1872, and the Rev. s
G. Valiant was appointed to serve
as pastor until the congregation was
admitted to the conference. This
took place in March, 1873.
First pastor of the church fol-
lowing its admittance to the con-
ference was the Rev. ]. w. Sucret
He was succeeded by the Rev. Jesse
Shreve, who served from 1874 to
1877.
During the pastorate Of the Rev
]. w. Trout the church membership
grew to the point where it war
ranted becoming an independent
charge.
The first vision of building the
present edif1ce came during the
pastorates of the Revs. A. w
Mathert and E. c. Makosky. But
it was not until May 81, 1896, when
the Rev. B. B. James was pastor
that a meeting was held for this
purpose and a building committee
appointed.
On February IS, 1897, the corner
stone of the new church was laid
The Star of that date devoting q
long article to the ceremony. Finan-
cial and other difficulties delayed
the completion of the edifice for
several years. On May Is. 1900. the
lecture room was opened and used
for the Sunday school and for
services. Nearly eight months later,
on January 6. 1901, the first service
was held in the auditorium. Dedi-
cation of the church did not take
place, however, until June Is, 1919.

while those on the posterior are
sharply pointed. Both are walking
crabs and love to stroll along the
beaches.
Like all other crabs. Jonah is a
scavenger and helps keep the water
free from Objectionable decaying
animal matter.
In common with all his relatives,
he is willy fighter, often avoiding
danger by resorting to stratagem.
Their combats make your visits to
the beach more entertaining. Two
crabs leave their hideouts at the
same time walking toward each
other. Neither will yield the right
of-way. They grasp each other with
their large pincer-like claws retain
ing the hold with a vice-like grip
On the first pair of stubby front
legs they manage to move about, the
eight walking legs enable them to
move nimbly around as though
sparring. During the tussel the eye
stalks have dropped into their deep
sockets at the front of the shell.
Occasionally one Of the fighters
will find, during the skirmish, pile
of seaweeds or soft mud. Without
releasing his hold he will back
swiftly into the new hideout, leav-
ing his partner staring into space.
There is no attempt to find the de-
serter. The fight is over so the re-
naming crab trips lightly down the
beach, often coming face to face
with whom he locks pincers.
These crabs are edible. They are
found in the Newport markets,
where they are held in higher
esteem than Our own edible blue

red above and yellowish underneath.
In a way he resembles his cousin,
the rock crab, though he is more
massive due to the irregular gran

Also his legs are proportionally
larger and shorter and his teeth on

| opening lead: King of diamonds!
As there Is more than one way
to skin a cat, there are more ways
than one to contend with an ad-
versely held king. Holding the ace
and queen of suit, most players
are able to visualize nothing but
the finding OF the king sandwiched
in between his two honors, and
therefore has no recourse but to
f1nesse. His reasoning may be sound
| if he must lose no trick in that
suit, but where that particular suit
contains an inevitable loser there
is another way to handle the prob
lem. The king may be felled by
sheer force and the queen need not
be sacrificed in the process. The
chap who maintained, MY father
taught me never to take losing
illnesses" will understand what I
am driving at. If you have reason
to believe that the king is located
behind the ace-queen, perhaps the
king can be made to fall on o.
deuce.
| In today's hand from the Mas.
.ers' Individual championship an op7
portunity for such strategy was
presented to those who held the
South hand. 1t Is interesting toi
note in connection with the aboveI
hand that every one of the nineI
declarers who played this hand att
contract Of four spades succeeded
/ In fulfilling the contract by limit
ing their loss in the club suit to
only one trick.
South opened with one spade and
those holding the West hand wers
divided in their choice of bids Most
of them elected to overcall with a
bid Of two diamonds and the rest
of them chose to double. I have a
slight preference for the latter. II
partner should respond with two
clubs for which West is not too we'll
prepared ne can run out to two
diamonds which is no more expen-
sive than overcalling at that level
Immediately, but it has the ad-
vantage of apprising partner Of the
fact that distributed values are held.
The diamond king was opened
and East played the nine to en-
courage a continuation of the suit.
On the ace of diamonds he followed
with the ten. This is proper since
he wished no more diamonds led.
A common error is the play OF a
lower card, the seven in this case.
to trick two to advise partner that
the queen is held. The echo should
be completed only when leaders
partner desires to have . third
round of the suit led,
Whether West had overcalled or
doubled, every deClarer elected to
play him for the king of clubs, and
instead of taking the conventional
finesse, realized that unless the
king of clubs would fall on the
second round, there was little hope
to fulfill the contract. The ace of
clubs was therefore played first
and then a low club led from dunn
my. When East played low, declarer
ducked and was rewarded for his
thoughtfulness by the drop OF the
king.
