triumph for political action by unions and the start of
new drive for repeal of the Taft-Iiartley law.

drafting legislation to repeal the TaftHartey Act"
Meanwhile, organized labor awaits action by the Sen

Washington pass law that protects the rights of labor elm

The woodland caribou Is men,
Der of the reindeer clan, widespread
in America, Europe and Asia. It is
a deer usually about 4 feet high at
the shoulder. If 1t is a grown bull
it may measure 50 inches and weigh
300-400 pounds. You find 1t In the
Canadian woodlands south of the
barrens, in Newfoundland, Nova
Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec,
Ontario and Manitoba. At one time
woodland caribou inhabited north
ern parts of New England. The
animals were also known in North
ern Michigan and Minnesota. There
was a mountain variety living in
Western Montana, Northern Idaho
and Eastern Washington. A very
few stragglers have been seen, pitiful
remnants of former herds.
For a long time a small herd of
woodland caribou persisted in Min
nesota, but during the last decade
the last one passed on.
The main food of the caribou is
moses, lichens, leaves of alder and
birch, also the. tender shoots of the
tamarack.
Woodland caribou is our only deer
IN which both sexes have antlers.
Those worn by the cows are usually
short and slender, though few have
developed some handsome ones
almost equal to those worn by the
bulls. The old bulls shed their
antlers during the first three weeks
of November, cows keep theirs until
April. the bulls begin growing new
ones in March, these are fully de-
veloped by September. A good head
will have 35 points, often 40. But
there are never two antlers alike.
even on the same animal.
October is the mating month. The
young arrive in May. The coats
display faint spots, but not as clearly
defined as those Of fawns. During
the summer the woodland caribou
wears q dark brown coat which
fades to q light brownish-gray in
the winter and by spring Is almost
white.

Q. We need some advice in de-

English class cannot decide whether
to use a plural or singular verb
following what" in such sentences
as, What we need lis? are?) more
good textbooks" We cannot find
the answer In our school grammar.
A. The what" construction puz-
zles many good writers, and the
obscure, Latinized language Of the
grammar books serves only to in
crease our confusion.
Let us look at it this way: The
relative pronoun what" is always
followed by singular construction,
for what" is equivalent to that
which" or "the thing which"
Let us regard what we need
as noun-clause. 1t actually is the
subject of the sentence, and ex-
presses the idea of "our need" which
is singular, as If we were to say,
"Our need is for more good text

Natures Children
By LiIIion Cox Athey

Woodland caribou are affected by
wanderlust, migrating in small
herds, drifting along to join other
travellers. They cover from 40 to
SO miles in a night, the mother
keeps in touch with her baby
through low grunts. Water does not
deter them. In fact, they appear to
enjoy swim, making about 3 miles
per hour. They plunge into the
water and move steadily forward.
They are headed for a remembered
feeding ground. BY October they
have used up all food in their sum-
mer camp and decide to seek winter
quarters, not returning until March
or April. If food is abundant, a
trip is not undertaken. Usually, the
caribou's gait is a fast trot. Due to
the broad, rounded hoofs, the wood
land caribou easily traverses muskegs
and deep snow. On the ice he
travels swiftly and with ease. No
one has ever seen a caribou skid
on the ice.
It is wonderful to watch caribou

what" is equivalent to that which,"
and that" of course, is plainly
singular and takes a singular verb,
thus: That which we need is ,.
These sentences are correct:
What Europe, needs is food and
clothing.
What I expect is cooperation and
friendship.
What we hope for is many years
of peace.
What we bought was groceries
only.
Note also that in some construc-
tions "all" has a meaning that is
equivalent to that which, as:
All that we need is more good
textbooks.
All that we saw was pine trees.
All that we hope for is peace and
justice.
Likewise, notice the singular verb
in such constructinos as:
1t is the Germans whom we de-
feated.
It is they who sent us the books.

The Penalty for Offside.

While there appears to be no
record of card games in medieval
Spain, am at the moment engaged
in research for the purpose of
establishing my theory that Tor
quemada must have been a bridge
player. I am confident that I
know why he devised those fiendish
tortures. 1t was to provide fitting
punishment for those who reached
prematurely for tricks when declar-
er was taking an apparently losing
f1nesse into partners hand.
Observe how an irnprovident ges-
ture by West in today's hand shaped
the course of events and turned
what might have been a brilliant
bit of strategy into a dismal failure.
South's aggressive bidding landed
his side in game contract at no.
trump and East exercised out
standing restraint in permitting the
final contract to rest undisturbed.
Perhaps he had forebodings of
what was to take place.
West opened athe jack of hearts
and East won with the ace. Since
1t was quite evident that West could
have no entry cards, East saw that
the heart suit must be abandoned.
It was apparent, too, that any hope
to defeat the contract must rest on
the chance that declarer had exact
ly two clubs. So as the first step in
the campaign to shut out the
dummy East returned the king OF
spades. It was his intention, of
course to duck the first club in
the hope that declarer would re-
peat the finesse and be forever dis
connected from the North hand.
Declarer returned to his hand
with the king of diamonds and led
the 10 of clubs. East, who had
planned early, was not to be caught
in a brown study and had the five
of clubs ready to play as promptly
as the seven was played from
dummy. Unfortunately, as that
card fell from his hand, West re-
f1exly reached for the trick. De-
clarer, relying on Vests sincerity,
went up with the ace on the next
round and brought down the house.
It is not my province to take up
matters of department at the bridge
table, but it does seem to me that
the premature reaching for tricks
ought to be punished with far more
severity than the, foot-fault in ten
mis- or beating the gun in the 100
yard dash.
