Qture'S Children
Five-Lined Skink.
By LiIIion Cox Athey
HORIZONTAL

When you come face to face with
a five-lined skink toasting in the
sun on dead frond of a cabbage
palm, you experience disconcerting
moment. An eye to eye encounter
with this lively lizard whose blood
red mumplike jaws are but few
inches from your nose does not
make you feel any too good; his
head Is too much like that of the
venomous copperhead. However, you
quickly remind yourself that this
native skink is perfectly harmless.
So, you remain still observing the
pink tongue flashing in the swarm
of Mosquitoes which grows less and
less. The sticky tongue has unerr-
ing aim. The glossy brown scales
shine in the sun, the four slender
legs amply support the plump body.
Again you notice the brilliant red
jaws and recall it is only at courting
time they wear this hue.
Even though you are tempted to
reach out and capture the hand
some fellow, past experiences re-
mind you that all you will hold in
your hand is wriggly tail, gladly
parted with by the skink for free
dom. Another TAIL not quite so long
will soon replace the lost member
so necessary as a balancer when
high leaps and swift racing can be
enjoyed.
II you pursue skinks they dart
into small holes and openings left
by old fronds. During courting days
the males are very pugnacious, often
engaging in aerial combat. All the
time their wide open jaws snap at
each other. When one does manage
to grip the other, the victim is given
a vigorous shaking. After jostling
the daylights out of him he is re-
leased. Immediately the battle is
resumed. Look carefully about the
trunk for the dull brown skink
maidens who are watching the per-
formance with flashing eyes. When
the wrestlers come within reach
they dart out to give the loser a
sharp bite, then they glide to shall
low pool of stagnant water in the
groove of a frond where a bevy Of
gnats are easily Tapped up.
During egg-laying time the fe-
males resist tree adventures, taking
care to hide their eggs in rotting
logs exposed to the hot sun. Within

seven weeks young skinks without
protection or guidance from either
parent will be investigating every
spot for food. With incredible speed
the tiny tongue catches the wee
insects.
Hawks overhead often spot q pair
of male fighters in the palm; swoop-
ing down with amazing swiftness
and accuracy they fly away with
the contestants held fast in their
grasp. The hawk, aware of the vic
TINS swiftnesS, never releases his
hold on them. Thus the skinks in a
neighborhood are prevented from
becoming too numerous.

The bidding:
South West North East
l club Pass diamond Pass
ant Pass sNT Pass
Pass Pass
Opening lead, six of spades.
Placing all your eggs in one basket
when they can just as conveniently
be placed in two Is obviously not
good business. Many an unsuccess-
full contract would be salvaged were
this policy always adhered to. To-
days hand Is one of them.
The bidding followed normal lines
with the possible exception OF
North's final bid. While the raise
to three no-trump may appear
somewhat doubtful, 1t receives our
nod. Theoretically a response at
the level of one designates a hand
containing points and North has
Z plus the added factor of a Ave
card suit. 1t should be pointed out
that North was under no compul-
sion to bid again. A Jump to two
no-trump by the opening bidder is
strong invitation but not a force.
In this respect 1t differs from a
jump to two no-trump by the re-
sponder. Such a bid is an absolute
force. The logic of this rule is based
upon the consideration that a
player strong enough to open the
bidding should be willing to 60 to
game. when his partner shows
strength, but a responder who NAV
have made a sporting bid with
weak hand, just to keep the bidding
open, should be permitted to check
out If he chooses to do so.
West led the six of spades and
South won with the king. The out
look was anything but bright De-
clarer, hoping that the ace OF dia-
monds would fall on the first os
second round, led the jack and then
the ten. Nothing happened. De-
clarer then woke up to the necess
sity for operating on the club SUN
and led the ace and the queen. This
enabled him to take eight tricks for
down one.
Declarer's tactics were unsound.
Even If the ace of diamonds were
to appear early, the club finesse
would still be required. Why not
try for both with one shot? The
jack of diamonds should be over
taken with the queen in dummy.
This will hold. The club finesSe
should be taken and won. The ten
of diamonds is then overtaken with
the king and another club finesse
taken. Now that the suit has
broken the declarer has succeeded
in taking nine tricks. Note that II
the diamond ace were doubleton 1t
would fall on the second round and
declarer would run that suit also.
Two chances are better than one.
It's one thing to be lucky. It's
quite another to take advantage Of
your good luck.

Take My Word for 1t
by Fronk Colby
Pet Speech Peeye.

The autographed handbook goes
this week to Mrs. w. L. Mills OF
Mobile for sending her pet speech
peeve:
Il loathe dictators. But I long
to be a dictator just long enough
to make it capital punishment
for any public speaker or broad
caster to say deficient, ee-fective.
essential, oh-casion, oh-ficial, oh
fensive.' I'm very mild person,
but those affected pronunciations
make me say words that lady
shouldn't even know"
Those who sound zee" in the first
syllable of efficient, effective, essen
tial and "oh" in occasion, official.
offensive, are overanxious about the
precision of their speech. In striv-
ing for perfection they overdo 1t to
the point of error.
Let us see why such pronuncia-
tions are not correct. 1t has to
do with q long-established rule in
English that vowels in closed syl-
lables do not have the long sound.
To illustrate what is meant by
closed syllable let us syllabify
the word effective as 1t appears in
the dictionary: effective.
The first syllable Is closed be-
cause 1t ends with a consonant,
thus: ef The vowel "e," then,
has the short and not the long
sound.
The word offensive is syllabfied
thus: of-fen-sive-the first syllable
is closed; therefore, the 90 should
not be long C"oh'O.
That's the whole thing in a nut
shell. The first syllables OF EN-
cient, effective, essential, occasion.
oficial, offensive are closed and the
vowels should not be long. These
are the correct pronunciations:
eh- -FISH-unt, eh-FEC- -tiv, eh-SEN-
sh1l, uh-KAY-zhun, uh-FISH-ull,
uh -FEN-siv.
A similar mistake Is often heard
in such words as immediate, i'm
maculate, immense. Not "ee-medi-
ate, ee-maculate, ee-mense."
These words are syllabif1ed thus:
Immediate, immaculate, i'm
mense. Therefore, the first sylla-
bles are closed and the Il" should
have the short sound as In i'm
patient, important.
In the following correct pronun-
citation let 81" represent the short
81" of it,. him. Say: i-MEE-dee-it,
i-MAK-you-lit, i-MENSS.
The rnispronunciations discussed
in this article are, as Mrs. Wills
says, stoplights. Public speakers,
broadcasters especially. should train
themselves to sound the first vowels
correctly.
Precision in speech Is desirable.
Overprecision Is in very poor taste.

New Bid Is Planned
For BeIasco Theater

A new bid for lease of the old
Belasco Theater will be made to
the Federal Works Agency in the
near future, Wallace Cohen, attor-
ney for one of the original bidders
said today.
Mr.. Cohen represents Joseph Cur
tbs of New York. He would not give
details of the new proposal, but said
it would be substantially different
from earlier bids, which have failed.
Washington is without a legiti-
mate theater with the conversion of
the National Theater to movies be-
cause of an Actors Equity ban grow
ing from the Nationals refusal to
admit Negroes.
Mr.. Cohen said he hoped to see
John L. Nagle of the Public Build
ings Administration regarding the
new offer today.
