important guests in aquariums.
There are 200 species OF amber
shells, their distribution world wide.
You find them everywhere. The
mollusk has but one foot to travel
on, but he has encircled the globe.
Most OF the amber shells try to
establish themselves on the edge OF
a stream, others in it. The oval
shell is amber colored and often
transparent. The spire Is short,
whorls few. Most of the snails are
SO fat their shell is not quite large
enough to cover the foot completely.
The single foot is broad and fleshy
and at the tip is the snairs head.
If you look closely you will observe
the tiny mouth opening and closing.
The snail has no biting jaws or
sucking beak. Instead it has been
provided with q sort Of extensible
rasp set with rows Of invisible teeth.
Scientist call this rasp ''lingual rib
bon." With it the snail rasps OF
bits Of plant that form its food.
The head has a pair of tentacles at
the base of which are tiny black
eyes.

1-inch long, the lower lip drawn
out so far it resembles sugar

wandering in search Of stream.
The oval amber shell is abundant
in Canada and our Northeastern
States. In the streams the snails
glide over the stems of aquatic
plants or ride on bits of floating
wood. In June about 20 transparent
oval eggs are deposited at the roots
of plants. If you know where to
look and what to look for you may
see them. They are really almost
invisible.
Birds and other neighbors are
fond of the tender mollusk. But
the snail is a very valuable resident
in any pond, stream or brook. BY
eating the algae, the brook Is kept
from choking up. It is the clear
streams that have the most snails.

Masuueradinr the Truth.

When you find it impossible to de-
feat a contract on the merits Of the
cards that you actually hold, the
only hope Is that declarer may be
induced to adopt q false theory
about the hand and ride to his own
destruction. The East Of today's
hand realized that there was no
honest way to prevent the fulfill
ment of the slam contract, but, by
Inducing declarer to form a false
picture Of the distribution. was able
to defeat q contract that on its
face appeared to be invincible.
The bidding is not model of
perfection. It leaves something to
be desired in the way Of a delicate
touch. The contract of six spades
is not bad one and, as matter OF
fact, should be sought by tourna-
ment players who are interested IN
squeezing the last drop out of the
hand. But at rubber bridge con-
tract Of six diamonds would be just
as acceptable. No amount OF trick
cry on the part of the defense could
have prevented the fulf1llment OF
Euch a contract. In fact, against a
club or a heart opening, grand
slam can be made In diamonds.
West made the normal lead of the
king of clubs, and East realized that
declarer must d hold at least five
spades to the king, queen, jack. The
opening lead was obviously from the
king, queen, and declarer was going
to win the trick with the ace and
probably attempt to ruff club in
dummy before extracting trumps.
East playedithe jack of clubs on the
first trick. Declarer won and re-
turned a club, upon which East
played the three. West naturally
continued with third round OF the
suit and declarer, convinced that
East had started with only two
clubs, ruffed with the ace in dummy
to prevent an overrun.
II the trumps were 81 the con-
tract would still be fulfilled. When
trumps failed to break, East's hold
ing was good for a trick and the
contract was defeated. East had
nothing to lose by his false-card and
everything to gain. My sympathies

Fishing Improving
At Seneca Lake

Noble county's own Seneca
lake was one of the three good
fishing spots in Ohio during the
holiday weekend according to a
bulletin released this week by the
division of conservation.
According to the report the
unusually high temperatures
during the past three weeks
caused fishermen to keep in the
shade and drove fish to the
deeper areas of the lakes.
In most areas anglers averaged
only .93 fish per hour. At Seneca
lake however the average per
hour was 156 with 81 percent of
the take being bluegills. Only IL
per cent of the fish counted in
the creel census were crappies.
Persons enjoying the recrea-
tional facilities of the Ohio lakes
this year are expected to equal
or break all records. In 1916 all
records were broken. In 1947 the
crowds dropped off considerably
but picked up in 1947 and again
in 1948.
