make up "pickpocketing "?-M. R.
AnsWer-Its new to me. But I
find pickpocket listed as an intransi-

pickpccket is a verb, it is quite
proper to form verbal noun by

DOLPHINS.

Dolphins are in the list with the
best game fish. Sportsmen delight
in recounting their experiences in
trying to match wits with a bull
dolphin unwilling to admit defeat.
River dolphins are sociable crea-
lures disliking to be alone. That
accounts for the large number of
them gathered under umbrellas of
floating seaWeed.
One prosperous species lives in
certain rivers in India. Another IN
the Yangtze Kiang of China and a
third in the La Plata River.
Dolphins are deep-water fish
possessing great speed. When at
rest they appear to be very lazy,
with the appearance of food there
is intense activity. Each heretofor
sleepy dolphin acts as If he had
just been administered a shot OF
dynamite.
No fish is more beautifully colored
than the dolphin when in good
health. AS life recedes all the ex-
quisite emerals, opals and ture-
quoise fade out. A dead dolphin Is
nondescript brown.
The dolphins have flesh consid-
cred edible by many, but Americans
seek the dolphin only for sport. The
flesh's cut into steaks for marlin and
barracuda, who cannot resist such a
lure.
While swimming these fish always
manage to keep the well-developed
triangular fin above the surface. No
better target could be offered.
Common dolphin average 8 feet in
length with 80 horsepower fight.
Each jaw has an array OF stilleto
sharp teeth about 40 in each jaw.
Being of a voracious temperament,
mackerel and salmon are killed by
the millions, an act that lowers the
fishermen's profit.
No game fish fights harder, pound
for pound than the dolphin. Only

Cheney. Wash: Recently you
wrote Each year at about this

AnsWer-You've raised an interest
ing point of grammar. "At about"
is correct or incorrect, depending
on whether you consider the word
about" as a proposition or as an
adverb.
If you think of it as a preposi-
ton, determining approximate
time" the "at" would be superfluous,
and the sentence would read Each
year about this time. ="
However, diagramming the con-
struction shows about to be an
adverb meaning Approximately" "
AT about this time then. is cor
rect, just as "at approximately this
time" is.

Goren on Bridqe

It Is fortunate for contract bridge
that guesswork cannot be complete
ly eliminated from the contest, else
the game might become much too
mechanical and lose a great deal OF
It's charm. The days when guesses
are all working provide thrills
known only to the outdoor man
when fish are biting and puts are
sinking.
When one has a choice of two
equally probable plays, the toss OF
a. coin or a mere hunch may be
Just as good a method Of selecting
the play as any other. However,
what might on the surface appear
to be an out-and-out guess may, in
fact, turn out to be not so, If a
player will examine the motives of
his adversary in making or refusing
to make certain play.
The declarer in today's hand was
faced with an even-money guess II
ever there was one. However, he
weighed what little evidence there
was to work with and arrived at a
conclusion which meant great
many chips to his side, The bid
ding is open to some question. The
first two calls are according to
Hoyle. Souths immediate jump
shift is the only proper bid on a
hand that is moral certainty for
a slam. North's rebid is somewhat
doubtful. With his partner vio-
lently slam-minded, North should
make every effort to slow him up
and not make any bid too early in
the auction that might give South
some further inducement to make
q heavy commitment.
The better part of valor would
have been to rebid to three clubs.
When North showed the spades,
South felt that the dummy would
surely be able to take care of all
four of his losers and contracted
for a grand slam. While this ap-
pears to be a good gamble, it is by
no means a sure thing, North
might have some hand that con-
tanned the XII of clubs and only
the AK Of spades.
Had West chosen to open trump
there would have been no play for
the hand; but he elected to lead the
three Of spades, which was won in
dummy, and declarer was faced with
the guess as to which finesse to
take. He could discard the three
hearts and try the club finesse or
discard the losing club and try the
heart finesse. Surely on straight
percentages there was nothing to
choose between these two plays
One was just as good as the other.
Declarer's eventual decision to take
the club finesse was based on a
human factor. Clubs, diamonds and
spades had been bid, so that the
logical lead by West would have
been the unbid suit, hearts, rather
than the suit that had been named
by the dummy, unless West had
some reason to fear that lead. What
reason could he have to fear hearts,
If he did not have the king? On
this line of reasoning declarer took
the club finesse. He had something

Ford Will Continue
Production al All
But Lincoln Plant
BY the Associated Press

DETROIT, Nov. 4.-The Ford
Motor Co. threw a note of cheer
into the auto industry's steel
darkened picture today, announc-
ing it would be able to continue
nearly full production in all di-
visions but Lincoln throughout
this month.
Earlier the company had
planned to shut down it's huge
Rouge plant between November
II and Is. That might have
meant quick paralysis of the vast
Ford system.
Emergency operation of Ford's
own steel mill at the Rouge fac
tory and encouraging news in
the press" on the steel situation
made the new plans possible. a
statement from E. R. Breech, ex-
ecutive vice president, said.
Mr.. Breech reported the COM
pany would continue production
of Fords and Mercurys at slightly
reduced schedules all this month.
Lincoln output will be halted
November II, he said. but should
be resumed in December.
Because of the move. about
100000 Ford workers who had
expected to be laid off within
two weeks will be getting their
paychecks for the rest Of the
month, at least.
The Ford announcement came
as Chrysler Corp. closed It's
Dodge, De Soto and Chrysler
divisions because of lack of steel
laying off about $4,000 Of its 91,-
900 Detroit area employees.
Chrysler has said it hopes to
continue manufacture of Plym-
ouths and Dodge trucks "as close
to Thanksgiving as possible"
General Motors Corp. has an
nounced no shutdown plans. but
recently placed a few of its plants
on four-day week.
Among other producers. Hudson
Motor Car Co. closed its plants
yesterday with plans to resume
operations Monday, and Nash Mo-
tors has announced it will shut
down its two main plants in Wis
consin in the middle of November
