Many thieves function without
spare key. They prowl the city's
shopping districts, alert for the
woman driver who parks her car
with the motor idling and dashes
into a store to pick up a bundle.
Cars are coming and going all the
time and the thief attractsno atten-
ton as he hops possessively into the

Auto thieves are rarely active in
deserted streets, where suspicious
neighbors are in the habit of phon-
ing the police about Ioiterers who
tinker with cars. Favorite hunting
grounds are crowded theater
districts, football parks, race
tracks and other cOngested
areas. The knowledge that the
owner will be gone for a definite
period gives the thief time to ma

sible.
You're Stuck
SEvERAL times a year police
authorities and insurance investi-
gators make a spot-check of cars
parked in public garages, detect
numerous stolen cars by reading
their secret identifications. If it
turns out that you have bought
a hot car, the car is restored to
it's rightful owner and you are
stuck.
To avoid purchasing a stolen
auto always observe these pre-
cautions:
l. Beware of the seller who
wants cash instead of a check.
2. Don't close the deal in a rush.
Wait a few days before giving your
final decision. Auto thieves can't
wait; they have to sell in a hurry.
3. Take time to investigate
when the price seems too low.
4. If you are at all suspicious,
call up police headquarters and
have the engine number compared
to those on the list of stolen cars.
Car racketeers are clever
enough, but they can be out

of rules and your new car won't be

Many controversies about grammar
come my way from writers, teachers,
students, secretaries and all other
kinds of people. try to solve their
problems by applying q little COM
mon sense, instead Of getting them
and me snarled up in the tangled
web of formal grammar. In dealing
with English, an ounce of logic Is
often worth pound OF grammar.
Here's = typical case. A young
literary student Of Chicago sends
three lines from poem she has
written. She can't decide which
verb to use in the third line:
The wind blows petals down like
snow, ~
And it is chill as death to me
Who walk walks?) alone since you
are gone.
There is a quite involved rule
which covers such constructions;
but always avoid grammatical dis
cussions in this column. Let's SIM
ply apply a little common sense.
Obviously walks" cannot be used
with any pronouns but he, she and
it. Therefore, who walk alone since
you are gone" is the proper con-
struction with the pronoun I under
stood, thus; "O who walk alone"
But the construction is awkward,
and certainly me who walk alone"
would be a serious stoplight.
My advice to the young writer
was: Whenever you find that you
have written an awkward or OBJ
scure passage, scratch it out and
start over again. Try for simplicity
and clarity. Involved writing Is
always bad writing, no matter where
it is found-in q poem, q story.
textbook, business letter, or what
not.
The poem will be made stronger
and clearer by changing who" to
81" thus:
The wind blows petals down like
And 1t is chill as death TO me.
I walk alone since you are gone.

Squeteagues, or gray sea trout

Squeteagues, or gray sea trout, are
found along our Atlantic and Gulf
coasts, being among the best-known
and most-important fishes.
Squeteagues are gamy fish, taking
the bait with q snap and quick
rush of about 10 yards. On account
of the extreme tenderness of the
mouth you must handle your prize
with caution. He fights well and
long. The slightest indication Of
slackness in your line, Is immedi-
ately taken advantage of by the fish
by leaping into the air and giving
his head q vigorous shake which
often pays of in freedom. He takes
almost any kind Of bait and even the
trolling spoon. CLANS and shrimp
are favorite bait.
At the height of the season, great
numbers are taken with the hand
line by what anglers GALE drifting"
that is. to sail into q school Of fish
in midtide, permitting the boat to
drift.
Squeteagues reach . maximum

average being much less.

Goren on Bridqe
A Simple Lesson in Percentages. |

A Simple Lesson IN percentages.
It is fortunate for the game OF
bridge that, however scientific we
may make it, the element of chance
cannot be eliminated, and on a given
number of hands the veriest tyro
might well outguess the superexpert.
While there are certain fixed prin-
ciples for the management of various
combinations, the play of the hand
can never be reduced to an exact
science. Which finesse to take, or
what suit to develop many times will
be a sheer guess, one offering as good
a prospect as the other. If, however,
you find that you are guessing wrong
in a majority of the cases, there is
a strong suspicion that your tech
nique has been faulty.
Where two courses are open to you
in the play of the hand, obviously
you should select that which offers
the better chance. To be sure, the
average player cannot go into the
study of mathematics Of card combi-
nations, but there are number Of
principles which he can easily learn
and which require no special math-
ematical talent.
Today's hand provides very simple
illustration of this principle. Against
a contract Of four hearts, West
opened the queen of spades, which
was won with the ace in dummy.
Declarer was faced with the choice
of taking the heart finesse or the
club finesse and in his anxiety to get
the trumps out, elected to lead the
five of hearts. The finesse succeeded,
but when the trumps failed to break,
he was obligated to lose one trick In
each suit: ut was tough guess,
partner. If I had taken the club f.
nesse, I would have made the hand"
There was no way for you to tell,
partner" was North's gracious reply.
It is true that South's play might
have worked, but he did not adopt
the best course. The location OF
either king was a $3.50 chance, SO
that the club finesse in itself offered
as good a prospect as the heart A.
nesse. There was, however, this con-
sideration. Even If the heart finesse
succeeded, that was not the end of
declarer's troubles, because, in addi-
ton, the hearts would have to break
two and two, which was less than
an even chance. To put it in simple
terms: A straight flnesse Is better
chance than a straight finesse plus
q suit break. The club f1nesse, there
fore, would have been the proper
play.
