NORTHERN WEASEL


The winter coat of the northern
weasel becomes the robe by king
at cornation. Ermine is a beau
tiful and costly fur produced by
four groups of ermine weasels OF
wide distribution in North America
All these animals turn white and
brown or gray in summer.
The wearer of the elegant coat
is a ferocious killer, destroying
for the mere lust of blood Small
animals freeze with fear at the
sight of the ermine and larger ones
take to their heels.
Ermine kill thousands of chip
munks, rabbits. rats and mice the
dying victims left by the wayside
for other foes to complete the kill
The hunters are possessed OF
boundless energy. They plow
through snow drifts or leap nimbly
over them. Their slender bodies
and elastic steel strong muscles en-
able them to get into small quarters
for their victims. They are wary
concerning traps and with amazing
skill remove the bait and evade the
machinery.
Once they discover a poultry yard
they do not rest until it Is empty
When a chicken discovers a weasel
or ermine is in the neighborhood, he
knows no peace of mind until the
weasel has been captured.
At one time weasels were so
abundant the destruction of half a
million in a season did not make
much impression on the population

T axe Ny Word for 1t
By Frank Colby

The word filibuster entered Amer
ican English more than century
ago. Originally filibuster, noun and
verb, derived from the Spanish word
flibustero, "a buccaneer; free
booter." The Spanish filibustero
was derived from the Dutch word
vrijbuiter. pirate" which Is the
origin of the English word free
booter.
Now in the 1850S, certain lawless
American adventurers were engaged
in fomenting insurrection in several
Latin American countries, notably
Cuba, Mexico, Central America, and
in the southwestern part of Amer
lea before it became a part of the
United States.
According to the Dictionary of
American English university of
Chicago Press, the filibusters who
joined Narcisso Lopez against Cuba
in 1861, and those who were led
by William Walker against Sonora,
Mexico. in 1884, and against
Nicaragua in 1858. were the best
known organized groups. The f1li-
buster than was a combination Of
soldier of fortune and freebooter.
It was not until late in the last
century that the word f1libuster
became an Americanism meaning
"A member of minority in legis-
lative body who employs dilatory
tactics and stratagems to impede
action by the majority"
In 1889, an editorial in the Boston
Journal observed, The surrender of
legislative functions by the majority
of the House and the carrying on
of business only by humiliating
treaty with a single determined
filibuster is something entirely
anomalous in country that is gov
erned by majority action"
1t is plain, then, that the term
hlibuster was first used in a scorn-
full or derisiee sense, implying that
filibusters were to be classed with
outlaws and gangsters.
In truth, however, the act of fill
clustering was both legal and legi-
innate, and it has long been used
as the means of getting minority
views before the public. ...-,e
In modern usage, the term fill
buster carries no implication of
dishonor. disloyalty, or unlawful
ness. The historic right of filibus-
ter is simply a parliamentary device
of talking a motion or bill to
death. And it has often been used,
by Southern Democrats especially,
with telling effect.
Filibuster. in the political sense,
is q strictly American word. 1t
does not occur in British usage
In fact, according to the British
Information Service, filibuster is
not possible in the British Parlia-
ment
Why Is 1t incorrect to say "feel badly;
look badly" etc? These common mis-
takes are corrected in simple. nontech-
nical language in Mr.. Coibys leaflet,

It Is deplorable that the term
"shutout bid" has gained so wide
vogue. AS I view it, there really is
no such thing. am opposed to the
fundamental concept of any pro-
cedure that undertakes to silence
partner without knowledge OF Wnat
he has. Such conduct somehow i'm
presses me as arrogant. 1t would
appear to be more logical practice
for a player to describe the nature
of his own hand, whether it be good
or bad, and permit partner TO act
on the basis of that information. IL
Is true that certain bids are m
tended to describe hand that is
lacking in Oh cards, but their use
should by - means require partner
to hold his tongue if he has the
vherewithal to move forward.
A raise from one heart to three
hearts describes a strong hand con-
tanning high-card strength and
trump support. A raise from one
heart to four hearts, however. de-
scribes a hand with ample trump
support and distribution, but not
much In the way of high-card
strength. This latter bid has come
to be known as "shutout bid" And
more's the pity! For that expression
Is the basis of great deal OF con-
fused thinking 1t would have been
better for all concerned If the triple
raise were simply referred to as
hand with plentyof trumps, but with
q warning to partner not to expect
high-card strength.
In today's hand South opened with
a heart and North's response pre-
sented a problem. Surely a bid OF
two hearts would not do justice to
the holding, yet his hand was not
good enough for a raise to three
hearts, in that it lacked the neces-
sary honor strength. North there
fore decided to compromise by bid
ding four hearts. Such bid usually
denotes a wealth of trumps but not
more than IL honor tricks How
ever, that was enough for Souths
purpose. What he needed was not
so much high-card strength as good
trumps and distribution. 1t would
hardly have been logical for South
to utter, North has made a shut
out bid, I must seal my lips" With
out undue ceremony, but with COM
plete dignity, South contracted for
"a slam.
Unfortunately, we are not in posi-
tion to speak as highly of the man
ner in which he went about his COM
mitment. The two of spades was
opened and won with the jack. There
was nothing to it but the trumpS,
20 declarer hastened the extraction
by playing the ace. The bad news
was out at once. 1t was admittedly
hard luck to find all the trumps In
the East hand. Had they been
massed In the West hand, his con-
tract would have been secure. But
we are not inclined to shed a tear
Tor Mr.. South, because 1t was dis
aster which he might have and
should have avoided.
When the first trick was won in
dummy, the five of hearts was played
and East followed with the four. At
this point declarer should have
paused for an instant to inquire,
"How could this hand be lost?" The
answer would be, "Only If East has
Ill the hearts" To guard against
this contingency declarer should play
low. II West wins the trick with
the jack, ths remaining trump must
