The bidding:
South West North East
Pass Pass spade Pass
2 hearts Pass 4diamonds Pass
5 diamonds Pass 5hearts Pass
6 hearts Pass Pass Pass
Opening lead, ace of hearts.
The final contract Of six hearts on
todayS hand appears to be very
sound one and was reached on direct
and logical bidding. North, despite
his partners initial pass, visualized
slam possibilities after South's two
heart takeout and jumped In . new
suit In order to avoid the slight risk
that South might not choose to
carry on. Note that Q bid Of only
three diamonds while it probably
will elicit another call from partner
Is nevertheless not forcing. A re-
sponder is at liberty to check out at
any time that he finds 1t comfortable
to do 50, except where partner has
jumped In a new suit. South decided
to accept the slam invitation be-
cause he felt that he had about as
much as could be expected from
passing partner.
Vests opening lead Of the ace Of
trumps was the best available.
Holding shoppers in all the adverse
suits, his attempt to cut down
dummy's ruff1ng power was very
sound. Declarer won the second
lead in dummy and decided that the
only way to dispose Of the diamond
losers was to establish dummy's
spades. He cashed the ace and
ruffed a spade: cashed the ace Of
clubs and ruffed another spade.
Discarded two diamonds on the king
and queen of clubs, entered dummy
with a diamond and ruffed another
spade. When that suit failed to
break he was down one.
Hard luck, partner, the spades
wouldn't break" was South's plain.
tive cry. 1t wasn't hard luck ut all.
There were eight spades out and 1t
was not to be expected that they
would break four-four. South aimed
at the wrong target. There were
five diamonds out against him and
there was good chance that they
would break three-two.
The proper procedure is to cash
the ace and king of diamonds and
the ace of clubs, then the ace Of
spades, discarding club. The
South hand is entered by rufing
spade. On the king and queen OF
clubs two diamonds are parked. A
diamond is ruffed with dummys
last trump and declarer's hand Is
now high. 1t might be argued that
there was danger that the third club
would be ruffed. That would re-
quire six-two break, which is dis
tinctly against the odds. Further
more, If that distribution actually
existed it was extremely doubtful
that the hand could be made on any
line of play.

Natures Children
THE BLACK WIDOW
By liIIion Cox Athey

OF all our spider friends, but one
has to be avoided-the black widow,
whose crimson hour-glass girdle is
the signature to look for. She is
not of the open places, either. AL
ways in old buildings where there
are dust and webs or in bushes
near stones, she leads a secretive
sort of existence Though she is
known to murder her mate, she
takes infinite pains to construct
tough, silk egg basket for her 300 to
400 eggs which she guards so care
fully.
She is clothed In black satin and
as round as a lucious black cherry.
Her poison has bad effect on your
heart, though not fatal. Her mate is
a modest fellow who may be seen
lurking near her though discretely
out of reach. His daughters re-
semble him until their last change
of clothes. when their black gown
is of a more somber hue and their
hour-glass a deeper crimson. His
span of life is short, for he seeks
a mate who later consumes him:
so he has no part in the protection
or rearing of his very large family.
Madam Black Widow weaves a
white silk bag no larger than a
fine garden pea which she Grams
full of seed-like eggs. Then she
weaves dozens of threads which
she meshes together for a roof to
protect the eggs. The roof is sort
of pdlp-like substance and after she
works on it, the san crisps it. Then
there is a period of three weeks
waiting. You can actually see the
white bag, trembling, for there are
some 400 little cannibals within
struggling for existence. The only
way for survival is for the strong
to eat the weak. If you are present
on the warm day the survivors bite
their way out, you will be amazed
at the swarm that creeps out. How
they could have existed in such
tight quarters, all those round bodies
and thread. is difficult to figure out.
Actually, they remind you Of an
army of tiny soft-shelled crabs,
very cute and full of pep
About this time Madam Black
Widow, changes her old tight gown.
Black Widows have a wide range
only in California do they appear
beset with aggressive foes. There a
rare fly hunts for the white egg
basket laying her eggs among the
tiny ones of the black widow. Three
days after her visit the hungry
fly grubs wipe out the entire
cache of eggs. The white silk egg
tent is also visited by wasps and
other foes. California is not the
State for black widows. Birds and
other natural foes of the East are
less interested in black widow babies.

Take My Word for 1t
By Fronk Colby
SATURDAY. Forum.

Los Angeles: On a recent broad
cast, Winchell pronounced the word
decadent as "DEK- -uh-dent." Is
that correct?-E. c. K.
Answer: It's the second choice OF
some dictionaries. The late F.. D. R
gave it a vogue, for, until he used
the frst-syllable accent on his many
broadcasts, it was seldom heard in
American usage. In standard Amer
ican speech the prevailing pronun-
citation of decadent is: dee-KAY-
dat. And decadence is dee-KAY-
d'nss.
N. A. of Ann Arbor sends this
word curio, a letter word con-
tanning all five vowels: eunomia. The
word is from the Greek. 1t means
wise legislation" Pronounce It,:
yoo-NOE-mee-uh.
Another similar word Is sequoia,
the giant redwood of California, pro-
nounced see-KWOY-uh.
San Bernardino: Will you please
give the correct pronunciation of the
word assuage?-Mrs. F.. T. S.
Answer: uh-SWAGE, the second
syllable rhyming with "age, cage"
Mt. Vernon: So often 1 hear the
word intriguing used as meaning
interesting. provocative" I've al
ways thought that intriguing con-
veyed the idea of something sinis-
ter, of a scheming or underhand
nature Mrs r G n
Answer: Literally, to intrigue is
to plot or scheme secretly But in a
f1gurative sense the word is quite
proper in the meaning of ito arouse
interest or desire; to beguile or fas-
cinate."
Hastings: How did the penguin
get its name?-C. w. T.
Answer: The name is from the
Welsh pen, white" gwyn, head,
according to Selden Q6l3). 1t is
likely that the name penguin was
first given to the aux, since the pen
gums head is black.

The bidding:
South. West. North. East.
l spade Pass spades Pass
3 spades Pass no-trump Pass
4 spades Pass Pass Pass
Opening lead: King OF diamonds.
The bidding was slightly agrees
sive. South, having six and a. half
winners, was justified in making one
more try Notwithstanding partners
weak response North, despite the
fact that he had number of honor
cards, might have been deferred
from continuing the bidding be-
cause of his most unfortunate dis
tribution. The four, three, three,
three holding is the most undeslr-
able one can hold. Notice that q
doubleton heart in the North hand
would have made all the difference
in the world.
West led the king of diamonds,
upon which East played the encour-
aging signal seven. West continued
with the queen of diamonds, which
declarer ruffed, extracted trumps,
and led a low club. West climbed
up with the king and realizing the
necessity for building up heart
trick, switched to the deuce of
hearts. He was too late. Declarer
won with the ace, drove out the
ace of clubs and discarded his losing
heart on >dummy's long club. The
proper time to have led hearts was
at trick two, but West was not to
blame, it was East's fault. The sig
nal to continue diamonds was i'm
proper. He explained it on the
ground that he wanted to show his
partner the ace. Signals are not
given to show things, they are given
to suggest leads. East should have
known that it was important to
build up a heart trick and that the
diamond tricks would take care of
themselves. The deuce of diamonds
was, therefore, the proper play,
saying to partner. please lead some
thing else" 1t would not have been
difficult for partner to deduce what
that something else should be. OBJ
viously, a trump lead was not de-
sirable, and surely a club lead
against dummys strongest suit
would have been out of the question.
Let me repeat: Signals are not in
tended to show holdings, but are
made to guide partners leads.

Forecast Raises Hopes
Ohio Area Will Escape
Disastrous Flood
Iy the Asseeiatsd Press

Hopes Of averting q major flood
disaster In the Ohio River Valley
frightened today with forecasts Of
little rain for the next two days.
The Ohio, already at its sixth
highest level in 64 years, still rose
about 4 inches an hour. However,
rivermen predicted only little more
damage than Is usual each spring
unless there is more rain.
Two deaths-in West Virginia and
Kentucky-were attributed to the
swollen streams as flood conditions
entered their fourth day. Mean
while, the Red Cross cared for
almost $500 families flooded from
lowland homes in Ohio, Indiana,
West Virginia and Kentucky.
Drowning victims were John Sher-
man Gackie) McNally, 8, at Louis
vile, and Edward Smith, II, at Sis
sonville, w. Va. Young Smith died
in an attempt to recover wild
duck in Poca River. Jackie fell In
Beargrass Creek.
Grim Battle at Portsmouth.
One grim battle against the ris-
ing Ohio was under way at Ports
mouth, Ohio, along the city's un-
completed 100000 foodwall. An
emergency 1000-foot- levee 2 feet
high is being built to piece out the
fioodwall designed to protect up to
IT feet when completed.
Last night high water at Ports
mouth neared the 60-foot stage.
about 4 feet under the emergency
wall. A tentative crest of 81 feet
was expected.
A 64-foot stage was forecast Tor
Cincinnati. This much water would
cover Lunken Airport and inundate
many factories and business houses
in that district. About 141 families
were moved out of homes there.
Across the river in Campbell
County, KY. another 500 families
were evacuated yesterday. Further
downstream at Louisville, scores OF
bottom land residents fed in the
face of a Weather Bureau forecast
of IA feet above flood stage by Sum-
day. The Red Gross sheltered more
than 1900 families in l4-county
area.
