Children

Wearing the most beautiful fur
Of any animal in the woods has cost
the ocelot his life. Once these ami
mails were very abundant from Ar
kansas southwark over Central
America and most of South Amer
lea as far as Paraguay. From most
of its haunts in the United States
it has disappeared. The beautiful
coat had high market value which
man could not resist.
They are swift travellers with
cross-country endurance as sprint
ers. Besides, they can travel
through dense growths of murder
GUS thorns and cactus bayonets.
Dogs give up in despair; men use
their guns.
A leopard cat Is larger than a
house cat, but about the same size
as the bobcat. They never take to
hole in the ground when chased,
but 60 swiftly up tree to its very
top and defy tormentors.
As pets they are affectionate, good
natured and obedient; in a scrap
they are usually victorious. Stock
men despise them for their thievery
! OF pigs, kids, lambs and fawns.

7 axe Ny Word for 1t
Fronk Colby

DEN-see." Thumbs DOWN.. A. B.
A. Thumbs down. The accent
should fall on the first syllable only,
thus: PREZ-i-d'n-see.
OMAHA.-A British friend insists
that the word trait is pronounced
tray" Should I say it?-G. E.
A. No. "Tray" for trait Is the
customary British pronunciation,
influenced by the French pronuncia-
tion "treh." But neither occurs in
Standard American. Trait should
rhyme with straight"
HOUSTON.-Please settle this
question of punctuation. Are the
two question marks correct in this
sentence:
Did John say, "Will you go with
us?"?-W. M.
A. The sentence does contain two
questions, but only one question
mark is required, thus: Did John
say, will you go with us?"
This is in accordance with the
United States Government Printing
Office Style Manual, which gives a
similar example: Who asked "Why?"
PASADENA.-Recently the word
debauch was in the news. I heard it
as "dee-Bosh, dee-BOUTCH Go
rhyme with "ouch"), dee-BOTCH."
Which was correct?-Mrs. M. S. @.
A. The second syllable should have
the "aw" sound, thus: de-BAWTCH.
HERMOSA BEACH.-Wiu you
please explain the significance Of

A close, unexpected meeting with
a leopard cat gives you an idea Of
grayish animal with large, beau
tiful eyes. A closer inspection gives
you some idea of the countless
number Of dots, rings, blotches and
stripes in the soft grayish white fur.
The amazing tangle of bars, chains,
rings and smudges appear in Or
derly fashion and the cat signature
Of the dark back and lighter area
on the head is unmistakable. The
very long tail with its chain of
black-edged, brownish blotches along
the sides is reason for the name
leopard
Twins arrive each year. They are
beautiful pets, but their claws are
sharp. They tame easily and make
good mousers, but they are given
to night forays and can cause
trouble among neighbors.
In their natural state they hunt
at night for the animals Of the
woods and forests. You never see
thin, hungry leopard cat. They
are always sleek and fat, for hunt
ing has been good.

Goren on Bridoe

For variety of treatment, no hand
from the recent Pennsylvania State
Championship in Pittsburgh equaled
the one shown today. The varia-
tions occurred in both the bidding
and the play. There was unanimity
on the opening bid and the response
of one heart, but on openers rebid
the players went their several ways
Some jumped to three diamonds, on
the theory that six-card suit
should be rebid before a four-card
suit is shown. This rule of bidding
is more or less outmoded and ex-
perienced players now prefer to get
the four-card major suit bid in at
an early stage in the bidding, par
ticularly when it can be shown at
the level of one.
When North supported the dia-
monds South's jump to slam is
not bad gamble. On this type of
hand science is not apt to prove
very effective. If partner has moth
ing more than the king and queen
of hearts, there should be at least
an even chance to make the slam,
which at worst should depend upon
the location of the queen of spades.
Where the five of clubs was opened
one declarer made the agregiouS
error of stepping up with the king.
This brought forth the ace, which
was ruffed, but one heart discard
was not enough and the contract
was defeated a trick. The proper
play at the first trick is the 10 of
clubs. If West has led from the
jack the ace will be forced and two
discards can be obtained on the
clubs. If East has both the ace and
the jack nothing can be done
about it. At any rate, there is no
hurry about forcing the ace. That
can be done later, if necessary.
At another table West opened the
two of spades. East won with the
ace and almost fell over his own
feet in his anxiety to cash the ace
of clubs. When this failed to cash
declarer obtained his two heart dis
cards. The play of the ace of
clubs was not sound. If South has
q club he will not be able to get
rid of it except on one holding and
that is the lone ace-king of hearts
as we'll as a single club. This is a
distinctly unlikely holding, since
South must then be presumed to
have bid a slam, virtually single
handed, without control of either
spades or clubs. A player lacking
two aces is hardly in a position to
bid slam without inquiry where
partner has announced no special
strength.
At still another table East was
Ill advised enough to double the
final contract. West, in compliance
with modern conventions, led the
king of hearts dummy suit) and
the contract was fulfilled by the
simple expedient of playing the
king of clubs through East, in order
to obtain one heart discard.
