After you have admired the Won
derful blending of colors on the
snowy plover's back, you decide the
name is not quite accurate. No bird
is more beautifully camouflaged than
this beachcomber. The pure white
and buffy gray mingling with the
seaweed, sedges and sand, give you
an opportunity to test your skill in
observation.
The small, clever, egg-shaped
plover is a beachcomber dear to
the hearts of Californians who flock
to the beaches. Here, while acquir-
ing the beach tan, they spend happy
hours watching the funny little
plovers with their mechanical move
ments and tantalizing antics.
In spring when the nesting activ-
tiles are of paramount importance
to the plovers, you learn how devious
they are about testing your intelli-
gence.
Mother plover searches the high
sand ridges for depression. She
is not lazy, but she prefers to use a
depression in the sand rather than
use reserve strength to hollow out
one for her eggs. So she finally
settles on a natural hollow. About
it's rim she constructs a wall of sea-
weed, broken shell and debris. While
this is not must" there are few
nests without the wall. Into the
depression she deposits three slate
gray eggs etched cleverly with brown
and black, so nondescript in appear
ance that only the most observant
discover them.
Father and mother divide the time
brooding the eggs and baby sitting.
But the one of duty Is not far away.
If there is the slightest indication
a busybody is searching for a nest,
the one at home will be notified.
Then, the sentinel begins to act.
The bird will become interested In
every depression In the sand. II

To acquire large and useful
vocabulary, you must, like Kipling's
elephants child, have an Unsuitable
curiosity-about words, Of course.
But a large vocabulary is not
necessarily one of six-cylinder words
like transmorgrification, desidera-
tum, euhemeristic, although such
words, and any and all words for
that matter, may be examined with
interest and often with profit. The
true worth of q large vocabulary
lies in its usefulness-its practical
value to the individual himself.
You can increase your vocabulary
by reading or listening with pencil
and paper. AS you encounter an
unfamiliar word, jot it down. When
you have finished reading or listen
ing, turn to the dictionary and
begin your word hunt.
How is the word pronounced?
What part Of speech is it? What is
it's origin? How is it used in the
sentence? What are It's literal and
.figurative meanings? Is 1t good
usage, or is it obsolete, archaic,
dialectal or slang7 Is it considered
as part Of the English language, or
is 1t regarded as q foreign word2
The answer to each question lies
before you In the dictionary.

incidentally, Commentator Drew
Pearson has marketed an exceed
ingly clever and fascinating game
called "Predict-a-Word." BY spin
ming a dial, the players compete in
building word squares resembling
cross word puzzles. My prediction:
You'll like "Predict-a-Word."
Now your new words must be used
in speech and writing until they are
firmly fixed in your memory. A wise
man once said: use a word three
times, and it is yours" So our
vocabulary building procedure is
simply this:
The Word.
Read or hear it. Understand 1t.
Jot it down. Use 1t.
Find it. Memorize It.
Study it. Enjoy 1t.
Caution: Don't overreach; that is,
don't clutter your mind with abstruse
words of little or no practical value
Look for solid, worthwhile words
words that are decisive, colorful
descriptive. And keep in mind that
the worthiest words are not always
the long words or the Latinized
words. Let the utility Of words be
the compass that guides you. Your
vocabulary should be the servant
and not the master.

Axainst Those That Cover an Honor
With an Honor.

Against Those That Cover an Honor
With an Honor.
When adjacent honors are held,
the selection OF the proper one to
play may involve delicate choice
IN cases where to the casual observer
"it makes no difference"
In todays hand, South, with an
nnmakeable contract on his hands,
gave it the old college try, but was
nevertheless obliged to pay of to
Vests alertness.
A word or two on the bidding.
Despite the lack of defensive values,
there are few modern players who
would pass the West hand. The pos
session of 10 major-suit cards and
the ease of rebidding argue Wig
orously in favor of the opening. And
If partner should double an adverse
club contract early in the fray, the
heart suit offers a reasonable runout.
South's' double to reopen the bid
ding was natural enough, as was
North's response of two diamonds.
South's bid of two no-trump may
impress some players as tending to
be the act of an overcautious man,
but any more drastic action is to be
avoided at this time, inasmuch as
North's hand is an unknown guam
tity. Sight must not be lost of the
fact that he had been drafted into
the bidding.
North, boasting of two high-card
tricks, was quick to carry on to
game, inasmuch as his previous
bid of two diamonds had promised
nothing.
The eight of spades was opened
and East's queen went to declarer's
king. Declarer appeared to have
nine, tricks in full view until West
showed out on the first lead of clubs.
The budget had to be replanned.
-Four diamond tricks now became
indispensable to declarer's operations.
After Easts appearance with the
queen of spades and in light of his
failure to keep the opening bid alive,
it seemed highly probable that the
Queen of diamonds was with West.
However, a cover of the ten OF dia-
monds would block the suit and
permit the cashing Of only three
diamond tricks.
In the hope of getting by without
q cover, South led the nine OF dia-
monds. This would have lulled many
players into playing low at trick
two, but not West. A rapid calcula-
tion made 1t clear to him that the
play of the queen could gain, but
could not possibly lose. That de-
clarer intended to finesse the Jack
there could be no reasonable doubt.
If declarer had three or four dia-
monds, the suit must run, since East
could have nothing to stop it. If
declarer had the nine and small
diamond, only three tricks were
available to him. since East could
then stop the suit, but If declarer
happened to have the nine and ten
alone, the cover was imperative. So
the queen came up.
South was not yet through. He
gave 1t the old Alma Mater do or
die" by exiting with spade in an
effort to force q heart lead from
West; but East overlook the trick
with the ten and relieved partner of
the pressure by returning heart.

That's why he set out to deter
