Lexington Voters
To Sign
s
School Petitions
$13.500 improvement
Bonds For Schools
Would Be Issued

Petitions are being circulated
among the qualified voters of the
Lexington Separate School dis
trict or town" voters this week
asking that the Board of Alder
men of the city of Lexington issue
bonds in the amount of $13, 500 to
take care of repairs recently COM
pleted on the Lexington Grammar
School, the High School and the
Ambrose School building.
The legal requirement is that
81 per cent of the qualified elect
ors OF the school district sign the
petition. Members of the Board
of Trustees and a large number
of volunteer workers in the COM
munity are contracting voters on
the matter.
No Tax Increase
1t is pointed out by the trustees
that the issuance of the amount
required in bonds will not in
crease taxes in Lexington as it will
not be necessary to put on IN adj
ditional levy. The retirement of
other school bonds and new prop
critics added to the roll will take
care of it.
The signature of five to six hun
dred qualified voters is desired as
there r 630-odd voters in the
district.
For the money spent on the
schools extensive repairs to the
walls of the Grammar School
building were made as well as a
room added and some painting
done; a few repairs were made
at the high school and a roof plac-
ed on the Ambrose High School
and other repairs made.

Cercropia Wireless.

Moths and butterflies were the
first wireless operators in the world.
If you wish to take notes on these
broadcasters, collect the large brown
silk cocoons this autumn.
Keep them outside. Freezing will
not hurt them. Cocoons by the
thousands Withstand zero weather.
If you subject your cocoon to- the
warmth of your home or school
room, the heat will be misunder-
stood for genial spring sunshine.
The prisoner will be hurried in
Transforming into a moth. He will
be too early for a mate and there
would be no food for his offspring.
When young tender leaves of
wild cherry. willow, gooseberry and
grape are unfurling in the spring,
this Is the time to plan for your
observance. Be sure that spring
weather has brought out the leaves.
The cocoons that were left outside
are responding to this temperature.
You may detect a clicking sound
within the cocoon. The restless oc-
cupant is tearing silk threads aside
to get out. Last autumn when the
cocoon was constructed one end
was left often. Now the moth is
headed that way. First the anten-
ma, head and front legs are pushed
out. Al slight rest is taken.
From the opening appears the
crumpled wings, fur-covered body
and four legs. The moist moth clings
unsteadily to the empty home.
Watch how methodicaliy the wings
are raised up and down and observe

how the plump body is shrinking.
Blood from the body is being
pumped into the wing veins.
If your moth has a thread-like
antenna you have a female and
your studies will yield more. If the
antenna is feathery it is a male.
If your moth is female, put
her in an open screened door or
window so she can send her message
on an air current according to
moth-code. Observe the time she
moves her wings in steady rhythm.
Within a short time you will see
half dozen or more males an
swering the wireless in person. How
did they receive the message, and
how far were they away? Next
time, you can, with cooperation of
fellow students, make more reliable
tests. You may discover something
M value to science.
Cecropia caterpillars construct the
largest and most easily seen CO.
coons. They are of rough brown
silk with bits of leaf used as re-
inforcement. Samia cercropia is one
of the largest of our silk moths.
The wings are large and beautifully
marked. The ground color of the
wings is soft brown bordered with
tan and crossed with bands of red
and white. In each is pale crescent
window trimmed in black, they re-
semble eyes and may be for camou-
f1age purposes for enemies. You can
collect the moths for identification
purposes. You will want to compare
the pattern with that of the Pro-
metha, which slightly resembles it.

Opening lead, queen of diamonds.
The panic Is on for many players
who reach a slam contract. Trumps
have got to be drawn and drawn
in a hurry. Sometimes, even a
singleton in dummy which may
provide profitable ruffs will be
overlooked in the haste to deprive
the opposition of their trumps.
While most players are alert to
the necessity for utilizing dummy's
rufiing powers before extracting
trumps, they have a tendency to
forget that there are other occasions
when trump leads should be post
poned. One of these occasions is
when entries are required for the
development of the hand and the
trumps themselves provide these
entries. Today's hand Is the record
of a case in which declarer's anxiety
to get out his trumps post haste ac-
counted for his downfall. South
signed of on his first rebid, but
when North continued the auction
he was quite justified in jumping
to game in spades.
A club opening by West would
have given declarer no play for the
hand, but such a lead would have
required clairvoyance. The argu-
ment that East should have sug-
gested the lead by doubling the
slam Is untenable. It is true he
would rather like a club lead, but
before doubling it seems to me one
should have reasonably good ex-
pectation Of defeating the contract.
After all, South might have a
singleton club and a brisk redouble
by the opposition might prove
costly.
The queen of diamonds was led
and won by declarer, who immedi-
ately drew three rounds of trumps.
A low heart was led and drmmy's
Jack held the trick. East played the
seven to start an echo and give
partner the count on the hearts.
The closed hand was re-entered with
o diamond and another heart led
toward dummy. The queen held and
since declarer could not reach his
own hand again, he had nothing
to do but hope the hearts would
break. A low heart was led and
when East showed out, the Jig
was up.
Declarers proper play at trick
two was heart. This would be won
in dummy and now the trumps
should be drawn. Another heart
lead is won in dummy and now
declarer can get back to his own
hand with diamond, to lead the
third heart. In this way a discard
Is set up for the losing club. If it
Is argued that declarer runs the
risk that some one has a singleton
heart and will get a ruff, the
answer is if the hearts are so
divided the hand cannot be made
by pulling trumps, since no discard
for the club will be available.
