In browsing through "HoW'S Your
rBridge?" recent work by Florence
Osborn containing a collection of
so widely assorted and interesting
hands, ran across the one shown
above, presenting defensive play
which rather engaged my fancy.
The bidding sequence shown in
the diagram is that actually chosen
by the participants. and I presume
has not the Endorsement of the au-
thor. My own impulses are decidedly
against reaching the level of five in
a major when the game contract is
being put in jeopardy. The jump
to three spades by the North hand is
open to some question. Such
jump ought rarely to be made with
out four trumps, more especially on a
hand that does not contain single
ton. It is true that a mere raise to
two spades by the opening bidder is
a decided underbid and some players
might prefer to make semiforcing
rebid of three diamonds. However,
the attention of the reader is drawn
to East'S part in the drama rather
than to the theoretical aspects of
the auction.
West made the normal opening
lead of the queen of hearts and de-
clarer played low from dummy. Had
East played reflexly and simply
signaled for a continuation of the
suit by the play of the eight or nine,
the contract would have been
brought home by declarer. who
would have ruffed the second lead,
drawn trumps and discarded three
of his clubs on the set-up diamond
suit.
East, however. took time off for
bit of calculation. 1t was reasonable
to assume that declarer had but one
ace. for when he learned in response
to his Blackwood call that North
had only one, he put halt to the
proceedings. From the appearance
of the trumps in dummy it was also
reasonable to assume that declarer
held the ace of spades, which would
seem to locate the ace of clubs with
West.
East further concluded that South

MOURNING DOVE.
By LiIIion Cox Athey

Today, we hear so much about
the Dove of Peace and We read,
And 1t came to pass that
Noah opened the window OF the
ark and he sent forth a
dove and the dove came to him in
the evening; and 10, in her mouth
was an olive leaf"
We are killing 100000 doves
each autumn; the gentle mourning
doves that have established them
selves in every State. In more than
26 States there is no closed season
so that millions more are slaugh-
tered. We are following the same
method of extinction practiced for
the passenger pigeon whose awe
some numbers made SpOrtSmen
think they were unlimited.
Doves are among the first birds
to appear in spring, remaining until
late September. In the South they
are greeted by hunters who for
get doves have a right to live.
Though gentle in manner and ex-
ceptionally well behaved to each
other they are shiftless nest-build-
ers. Few birds construct such
flimsy cradles for their babies. The
building site is either in a thicket,
on a low limb or on the ground
There are only two eggs in the
clutch. There are several sets OF
twins raised during the spring and

in all probability had only one
heart, for if he had two losing
hearts he would hardly have been in
a position to promise that a contract
for eleven tricks would be safe.
Such a promise is inherent in every
Blackwood four trump bid prop
erly employed. The player using
the convention in effect states to
partner, IF your reply is unfavor-
able I will nevertheless not be in
danger at a contract of five in the
agreed suit
Deciding therefore that the de-
fense could win only one heart trick,
East saw that to defeat the contract
! West would have to be found with
the queen of clubs as we'll as the
ace. And he realized too that the
tricks must be cashed promptly or
not at all, since it was apparent that
dummy's diamonds would provide
| discardS.
He therefore overlook the queen
of hearts with the ace and shifted to
the eight of clubs, bringing home
three defensive tricks before South
could step out of the starting gate.

Norfolk: 1t is my opinion that
there is no such word as "rerail,

r. M. M.
Answer-Sorry, rerail is quite
proper. -Webster's defines
it thus: ITO replace on the rails,
as an engine"
South Bend: My employer says
that the word existent should be
spelled with an "a" as: Existant
Is he correct? Also, please tell him
that e.g. stands for an ex gratia
which means for example. Made
line.
Answer-1'd suggest. Madeline
that you and your boss buy a good
dictionary-and use it, There is nc
such word as "existant." The prop
er spelling is: Existent.
The abbreviation e.g. does not
stand for ex gratia. nor does ex
gratia mean for example Ex
eratia means. "of or by favor" a
legal term implying the absence OF
a legal right. The abbreviation e.g
stands for the Latin exempli gratia

Omaha: We know that Messrs. is

are We to do when the boss die

be appreciated"?-Jane and Amy.
Answer-The titles Mr., Mrs
Miss and Messrs should never be
used by themselves. They must al.
ways be followed by name.
| This is not the case in foreign
countries, where it is quite correct
to use such titles as monsieur
madame, signor. frauline. etc, with
out following name. But in Amer
lea. never.
Do not address a waitress, fol
example, as Miss, unless you follow
the title with her name. If you dc
not know her name, say: Waitress
may 1 have my check, please?
Also, it would not be in bad taste
to address her as young lady.
I'll admit that use of Mr., Mrs.
Miss and Messrs. in the European
manner would be very convenient
But good taste forbids it.

My first year in high school at
Myrtle, I worked out my board as
house boy. nurse. caretaker and gen
eral flunky" in the home of Me-
thodist preacher. This preacher was
impressed with my depth of pur-
pose and shallowness of knowledge.
He knew friend who was at that
time president Of school that he
thought would be the very thing
for one as green and as poor and as
determined as l was. He arranged
for me to meet Rev. T. A. j. Beasley,
president of Clarke College: and I
was appointed stovewood carrier-in
and bell-ringer for the College! For
these services l was to receive $40
per month to pay half of my expen-
ses in school.

trunk, an empty head and an empty
purse. Clarke took me in. Three
years and several love affairs later,
left Clarke with credit for a high
school course and one year in col

found there the companionship of
others who, like myself, wanted des-
| perately to get an education but
had practically no financial means
for doing so. l also found an un-
spoiled group of earnest Christians
who had sensed Gods purpose in
their lives and were trying to pre-
pare to carry out that purpose. II
was this companionship with plain
hard working, sincere students, to-
gether with the influence of patient
self-sacrificing teachers and officers
that made my days at Clarke SC
rich and profitable.
I trust that Mississippi Baptists
under God, will provide the means
for the Strengthening of this great
little college. 1t is little in size and
simple in nature; but it is great in
opportunities and ministry, especial
ly to those who have missed the
bus" in the matter of early and
thorough educational advantages.
trust that when l948 passes into his.
tory, Clarke College will have re.
ceived from the Baptists and other
friends of the state at least $350,000
for the building and equipment now
SO sorely needed.
