Mistake In Ad Scares

BEIRUT, Lebanon-CP)-A mis-
take in advertising is believed tn
have cost Lebanon a poor touring
season this summer. Lebanese have
been puzzled by the absence of
travellers from Egypt, Iraq, Saudi
Arabia and other neighboring conn
tries.
The explanation came when
pamphlets sent abroad to attract
tourists were checked. The Tour-
ing Department found out that last
years prices-exceeding bv more
than 20 per cent this years cost
of living advertised bv mis-
take. Hotel rooms were listed at
SLIP per day instead of S7O4. All
other prices were inflated accord
ingly. This, it is estimated. was
enough to scare thousands of
would-be tourists from Lebanon.

How would it seem to make a visit
to the pygmies of Africa? That
question might be hard to answer by
travelling.
The next best thing, perhaps, is
to read the accounts of white per-
sons who have visited the area where
these little folk live One such per-
son is Miss Grace Frandrau, who
went intosWest- Central Africa with
a party made up Of several persons
from Europe.
A dozen pygmies came to the Ban
tu village where the visitors were
staying. They carried small spears
with them, as well as bows and
arrows. The spears were made of
reeds.
All of those pygmies were men.
They wore girdles of bark cloth, and
on their heads were little straw hats.
Several had short boards which
came to point. One carried a'sort
of bugle which had been made out
Of the horn of an antelope.
"They had broad foreheads," Miss
Flandrau states. Their eyes were

origins are in my department.
The word is strictly an Ameri-

In the 0T10RS payer duLllOlCSy Ol
alibis, few are 50 popular as the one
that reads, Sorry, partner, I had a
card misplaced" Not long ago
colleague of mine related tale in
volving a partner who had opened
with a vulnerable bid OF two no
trump. Though sufficient values
were held for raise to four, my
narrator contented himself with a
single raise. The game contract was
doubled and promptly redoubled
when the loss of 1900 points was
being recorded, he gazed quizzically
at his partner. I'm sorry" came
the reply. II had a card misplaced"
"Only one card?" queried the in
nocent victim.
Another in this series, Is the one
that goes, I'm sorry, partner, I
pulled the wrong card" And that
brings us to today's hand. AS the
bidding Is reviewed shall ask the
reader to refrain from raising scorn-
full eyebrows in my direction. I am
merely the reporter in the case. AS
o matter of fact the bidding started
OF reasonably enough. The two
diamond bid will pass muster
though some players are reluctant
to open with a diamond bid on
freak hands where the minimum
high-card requirement is held.
There is always the danger that
partner will have high cards in the
void suit, on the basis of which he
may decide to bid an unmakeable
slam. Over the four-diamond bid
South Is justified in bidding four
hearts. Common sense suggests
that this is an ace-showing bid,
since South could hardly be trying
to play the hand at hearts, knowing
that his partner held RATS Of dia-
monds and spades.
North's leap to six no-trump with
Q void In partners suit is a mon
strosity. Actually six clubs would
not be q bad contract and would
be defeated only because West could
lead a singleton spade.
East doubled and led the jack of
spades. Declarer won with the
queen and saw that in order to
make the hand he would have to
bring In dummy's club suit because
1t was evident that spades would not
break well enough and it was un-
likely that the diamonds would
either. In order to bring in the club
suit two entries into dummy were
required. The double suggested that
East held the king of hearts so pros
poets were bright.
The two of hearts was led and the
king Of hearts fell from East's hand
to the accompaniment Of gasp of
horror. I'm sorry, I pulled the
wrong card" "Oh, we don't enforce
the laws strictly. you may have 1t
back" North volunteered magnani-
mously. But East was sporting
about it and refused to be molly
coddled. The king had to be played.
From then on declarer had no hope.
He now went about setting up the
diamonds and was defeated two
tricks.
West, who through the entire pro-
ceedings had shown no interest at
all, woke In time to say to East,

Answer to FLAVICANT.
BY Romon Coffmon

1--WE asked them how many people
lived in their village, and they re-
piled, AS many as the leaves on the
roof
Cubes of salt were given to the
pygmies, and they shook hands with
us, first pressing our hands, then
seizing the thumb and wringing that
"a handshake which is common all
over the region"
Later the travellers were taken to
a pygmy village. To get there, they
made their way through a jungle of
close-growing palms, ferns and
creeping plants.
When they reached the village,
they saw men smoking pipes which
had stems S or 6 feet long. These
pipes were made out of the stems
of banana plants.
The pygmies entertained the Wis
itors with music which they made
by beating drums and shaking rat
ties. The chief gave a solo dance.
When moving pictures were taken,
the men, women and children crowd
