Unofficial Deer
Kill Listed at 493

Garrett county's sx-day deer sea-
son came to a close at shutdown last
Saturday. Unofficial figures place the
number killed at l93, four more than
were killed last year. The number
falls 81 short Of the all-time record of
517 bucks, killed in 1916.
Game Warden Lloyd Cook said it
had been an unusually good season
in regard to general observance of the
laws, with very little evidence Of vio-
lations. Two cases We're listed last
week, one hunter, George Bosley,
whom game wardens said was dis
gruntled because he had hunted for
10 years without success, felled both
a doe and spike buck in the Swallow
Falls area. He was fined $500 and
costs on three charges.
Man Fells APPOINT Doe
One of the most unusual occur
rences was the reporting of a four
point doe brought down in the White
Rock section by Emerson Frazee. In
spectors at the Friendsville station
vouched for the fact that it was a
doe. Game Warden Cook said as far
as he knew it was the. first one on
recon- ejsSthe statessalthquah there
are FsreNrecordss of' Similar deer in
other states. Cook said the antlers of
the doe had two points each.
Wardens also told of five hunters
who rescued a small doe from Her.
rington Manor lake after the animal
had crashed through thin ice. Using
boards the hunters made a human
chain and pulled the doe to safety.
As soon as the animal had "thawed"
out near a fire it jumped up and fled.
More deer were killed on the first
day than any other, a total of 100
falling. The kills this year were listed
as follows: Oakland, 165; Friends
ilvle, IS; Storey's, Deep Greek Lake,
%; Grantsville, 101; Swanton, 50;
Westernport, II; Lavale, IA; Iona
coming, 4 total 1873 It was at first
thought the total was the same as
last year, but Cook reported the ad-
ditional 4 at Homecoming yesterday
afternoon.
Three to a Family
Three members Of one family got
three deer. Roy f. Grove, 81, of Fin
eel, shot an 8-point Of $50 pounds
near Piney Run dam Ills son Deford,
II, shot a siX-point in the same area.
Another son, Arch, 24, who resides
at Keyser, shot an eight-point buck
weighing $50 in the New Greek area.

In the quiet pools In swamps and
meadows you can see the May-fiy
nympfs that are smaller and more
delicate than dragon or damsel-
flies. They are slender and some
what fiattened but have well-devel-
oped feet-six of them. And there
Is q row Of sheer fringe on their
gills. They also have iointed feath-
cry appendages ut the tip OF their
abdomen. Before leaving the water
they change their skins 40 times.
The May fly Is the only insect
known to have so many rnoults.
They also have the most brief span
OF life after they are adults. In
fact the May-fiy dance is but for q
day. They come from the water af-
ter three years sojourn there to
join their comrades In O dance Of
death.
You can find hundreds of thou
sands OF them ciinging TO q build
ing near the water or on plants
They are delicate insects with gauxyI
giistening wings about an inch and
q half wide and ON their body
three streamers or fair-like fla
ments. In May they rise from the
waters In vast numbers. The winds
sweep them 10 and fro.
They have no mouth parts 10 they
cannot eat. Their sole business in
life In the winged stage Is 10 pro-
vide for the next generation.
The females drop their eggs -
the water, like some of the dragon
Iiies do. A few May flies have been
watched wrapping their lovely
gauxy wings close as they creep
down Q plant stem through the
water TO deposit their eggs under
mail stones
From an economic standpoint
Nay flies and larvae are Important
because both are the favorife food
u many OF our valuable fishes.

Goren on Bridqt

When the source of tricks in the
side suits Is exhausted 1t behooves
the defense to delve into the trump
suit for some means of building up
an additional winner This can be
done sometimes by deliberately
trumping one of partners tricks In
order to force high trump out of
declarer's hand, a type OF play that
has come to be known as "the up
percut." Occasionally the setting
trick can be established by chican-
cry One such way Is to induce de-
clarer to do to himself that which
you are unable to do to him. We
have an illustration Of 1t today.
South became declarer at a con-
tract of four hearts. Though South
was hardly burdened down with the
weight of assets, the final contract,
nevertheless, was very sound one.
After South had twice bid hearts,
North risked q raise with only two
trumps. This is somewhat irregular,
but the texture of the doubleton was
such as to lead North to the belief
that the trump suit was probably
within q trick Of being solid. South
had rebid hearts in the face of a
two-suiter In the North hand. He
should therefore have q very good
five-card suit. or q fairly good suit
Of six-card length.
At this point South theoretically
had no further bid to make, but,
with the expectation that North
would be very short In spades. he
determined to risk q game contract.
On his behalf 1t should be pointed
out that the bidding made 1t ap-
pear likely that North would pro-
duce singleton spade rather than
. doubleton.,
The king Of spades was opened
and East went into huddle long
enough to reach the conclusion that
there was no bright prospect OF de-
feating the contract. It was appar-l
eft that there were no tricks avail
able In the minor suits, so that, be-
sides the two spade tricks and the
ace of trumps, another trump trick
would be needed to defeat the con-
tract. How could the other trump
trick be scored? Only by worrying
declarer into doing something to
himself. The plan required that
West hold the nine Of hearts. With |
out It there Is no ray Of hope.
In pursuance of this scheme East
set about to give declarer the I'M
preston that he had only twol
spades. On the king he played the
seven and when West continued
with the ace he completed the echo
with the deuce West dutifully con-
tinued with O third round of the
suit and what was poor declarer to
do? As far as he could tell East
was going TO run the trick 50 that
apparently his only chance was to
md favorable trump split. He
accordingly ruffed the ten of hearts
and now there was no way for himI
tp avoid the loss Of two trump
tricks when the suit broke Al.
