Goren on Bridqe

Whenever I am consulted as TO
the proper way to play hand, it is
not my practice to answer without
first inquiring as to the sequence OF
bids that led to the final contract.
Even an opponents silence may be
the vital clue. However, too much
must not be taken for granted.
In today's hand South took too
much for granted to his own down.
fall. Vests bid of three spades
ranks as a major atrocity, but un-
fortunately received no punishment.
The eight of spades was opened and
declarer went right up with the
king. He was quite confident that
Vests repeated bids indicated that
he held the king of clubs. He re-
turned to his hand and took the club
finesse. When it failed he was de-
feated two tricks.
That West held the king of clubs
was probable, but there was no
guarantee to that effect That he
held six spades was moral Ger
tainty. Declarer should, therefore,
have refused to take his spade trick
until such time that East had no
more of the suit, just in case he
happened to have the king of clubs.
The suit would be continued and
established by West, but now the
club f1nesse could be taken with
complete relaxation. East would win
with the king and return a heart.
Deciarer would 60 right up with his
ace and the rest of the tricks taken
in rapid succession.
Had declarer's spade stopper been
the ace instead of the king-queen,
he would not have dreamed of tax
ing the first trick. After all, what
was the difference here?

Natures Children
By LiIIion Cox Athey

In a short time you call, "here they
come" and your assistant holds aloft
his big straw hat. Soon the basket
is half full. The large grapes mount
high. There was an extra fine crop
that year. You venture further out
on the limb where there are several
large clusters and slide swiftly,
though unexpectedly to the ground
bringing a shower of ripe grapes
with you. Your basket is filled to
the brim by the time you have picked
them up and you pull two very large
leaves from the vine to cover the
grapes. You start joyfully toward
home.
Wild grapes are the Oldest culti-
waited plants in the world Grape
seeds have been discovered in Egyp..-
tian tombs. Wild grapes are very
abundant in the United States.
Chicken grapes are found in. the
same habitats favored by the fox
grape. Their punches are smaller
and the fruit clustered more COM
pactly in the bunch, they are sweeccr
after frost. Bird grapes are still
with a sour twang beloved
by migrating birds. =. e..

Wild Cranes.

On bright brisk day in November
when blue haze hangs over the
hillside, the slightest breeze brings
la tantalizing perfume from the wild
grapes hanging in thick clusters.
Any country boy or girl assailed
by the spicy fragrance is carried
away on the magic carpet to the
days when trip to the woods for
wild grapes was thrilling expert
ence. You recall with ease, the
large basket you picked up and the
lunch your mother prepared for you
and your brother or sister; for you
were almost sure to be gone several
hours.
You set out for the ravine where
the fox grapes grow the largest.
You creep down one bank and crawl
up the other where the fox grape
has climbed the wild cherry tree.
With the aid of the vine you soon
climb the ire and creep out on the
limb where you can see great
punches of fox grapes, the purplish-
black skins, glossy and taut, with
the purple juice or the fruit. You
toss down several large green,
strongly veined leaves to line the
bottom of the basket.

Most Beautiful Words.

1t Is said that Edgar Allen Poe
when he first thought of writing
1.-THE Raven sought a word of
lovely sound with which to end eacl,
stanza. To him, the most beautiful
word in English was "cellardoor"
therefore. he chose for his poem the
word "nevermore" which has the
same rhythm as, and much of the
euphony of, "cellardoor."
Now a truly beautiful word is beau
tiful in sound, but not necessarily in
meaning, as shall try to show.
These 10 words were once selected
by a group of writer's:
Chimes Tranquil Luminous
Hush Dawn Golden
Melody Lullaby Mist
Murmuring
It Is obvious that the writers were
strongly influenced by the meanings
and connotations of the words, for
"mush" is more euphonious than
"hush," lawn" than dawn" "list"
than mist" "voluminous" than
luminous" Numbering" is as eu-
phonious as "murmuring," "olden"
rs golden" climbs" as Chimes"
It is indeed hard to disregard the
meaning or suggestion Of a word;
but it must be done if the word is
considered solely for the beauty of
its sound.
Some years ago I asked my readers
to submit the word which to them
had the most beautiful sound. I
cautioned them against letting senti-
ment influence their choices. For
get the meanings. and choose the
words for beauty of sound only" I
urged.
Thousands of entries were received
from every section of the country.
Many were inehgible-proper names,
foreign words, compounds such as
"pray-for peace" etc. When the
tabulation was complete, these 10
words had the most votes:

At Q o'clock each morning,
Monday through Friday. DR.. J. =:
Noble, director of the serological
laboratory Of the District Health
Department, goes to the rear OF
the District surplus supply build
ing In the 400 block Of G street
N. w. He takes along an assistant
for the job at hand.
They enter a large room with
straw spread on the floor. From
the room they take two sheep.
They lead them across c street
to the lawn on the vest side Of the
Municipal Center.
DR.. Noble ties his sheep to .
tree, and the assistant lets his run
free. The animals like each others
company and stay on the plot all
day eating weeds In preference to
grass. according to DR.. Noble.
"You know Woodrow Wilson had
sheep on the White House lawn
during his administration to get
rid Of weeds" he said proudly.
Once q week, one Of the sheep is

they're easy to handle. But In
three years they get too big and
fat, and We have to give them
away"
DR.. Noble remembers when the
sheep were kept ats the pound.
But they didn't mix too well with
stray dogs, and they were trans
ferred to Gallinger Hospital In
1887. But Gallinger. with its space
problems, had to use its quarters
for other purposes.
Anyway. when they were turned
loose at Gallinger. they wallowed
In mud. and DR.. Noble had to
wallow after them every morning
to bring them In.
When DR.. Mobiles laboratory was
set UP In the Municipal Center In
1912, he wanted the sheep nearby.
There was still problem Of suit
