One Of the worlds most beautl1ul
birds has toes which grasp things
in a queer way. I am thinking of the
quetzal, bird of Central America
Birds differ in the number of toes
or claws. Most of them have four
toed feet, but some have only three
toes on each foot. The true ostrich
has two-toed feet.
The common way for bird to
hold on to limb or branch is with
the first toe behind and the other
toes ahead.
Some birds have a different Gus
tom. Woodpeckers, for example
keep the first and fourth toes be-
hind, and the second and third
ahead. Instead of clinging to
branches, Woodpeckers use their
toes to hold themselves close to the
trunks of trees.
The quetzal is queer" for the
simple reason that it places its first
and second toes backward and its
third and fourth toes forward while
clinging to branch.
Quetzals are rare birds and it is
hard to watch them in the dense
forests where they live. These for
ests are chiefly in Guatemala and
Panama.

Evening star., 1950-02-08

Many players form an early i'm
preston about a hand and nothing
that they learn from subsequent
bidding seems to have any influence
on their judgment.
In today's hand the first two
rounds of bidding were reasonable
enough, but South's bid Of three
no-trump is not to our taste. He
was operating under. the precon-
ceived notion that this was three
no-trump hand, and paid no heed
to his partners warning against
such a contract. North was obviously
attempting to describe a highly un-
balanced hand, one that was not
suitable for a no-trump contract.
If North's hand were well adapted
to no-trump play, he would have
raised to three no-trump instead OF
mentioning the lowly minor suit.
South, having already given an
adequate description of his hand
both as to strength and type by
his two-no-trump rebid, should have
returned to partners first suit by
bidding three hearts. North would
have carried on to four. At that
contract the losers would be limited
to two hearts and diamond. At
the no-trump contract, against the
club opening. South was helpless
to take more than seven tricks.
South argued that he could not
raise the hearts because he did not
have normal trump support. This
argument was without basis. The
ee-hearb bid would not be q
raise, but a mere preference. II
would say, in effect: Partner, you
must remember that 7 refused tc
raise your heart. I preferred to bio
two no-trump for the simple reason
that I would like to play this hand
at no-trump. If however, you insist
upon playing it at a suit, you might
just as well play it at hearts as at
diamonds, because I have just as
many hearts. However, I would be
grateful if you could arrange to take
me back to no-trlImp.'
It was also suggested that North
should not permit the hand to play
at no-trump. To this reasoning WE
do not subscribe. North has already
shown that he desires to play the
hand at a suit and has been over
ridden in his judgment by South
To dispute any further would be a
patronizing gesture toward his part
ner.
1t is good general doctrine that
when partner has shown two suits
one should strain to show prefer
ence, if that preference happens
to be for a major suit.
South has already announced that
he desires a no-trump contract. Tc
repeat it by bidding three no-trumr
is in effect telling the same story
twice.

Some Interesting People Live in
the Dictionary.
In the dictionary will be found
a. veritable who's Who" of persons,
some famous, some notorious, whose
names have given us many useful
and descriptive words. OF course,
hundreds of flowers and plants bear
names of actual persons, botanlsts
especially, and it has long been the
custom to name heavenly bodies for
their discoverers. But the most in
teresting class of words is found in
the names of familiar and often
commonplace objects, many of which
add to our comfort and conven-
ience.
For example, the Pullman coach
was named for George M. Pullman
who was first to equip parlor car
with seats that could be converted
into beds at night. The hanson cab
was invented by an Englishman
John A. Hanson. The gladstone bag
bears the name of a noted English
politician who was Premier during
the late 1800s.
Several articles of wearing apparel
are named after personages. The
Prince Albert coat was the favorite
garment of the gallant who in 1S4C
married Queen Victoria. Another
Briton, Charles Macintosh, hit
upon the idea of treating cloth with
a rubber solution so as to turn
water. Thus the first raincoat bore
his name. The type shoe known as
the blucher was named for a Prus-
sian field marshal. The burberry
first the name of cloth and later
a coat, took the name of the manu-
facturers. The chestfield, a single.
breasted coat reaching to the knees
was named for a dandifed earl
The word bloomers immortalizes
the name of Mrs. Amelia Bloomer
who, about 1850, rocked and shocked
the civilized world by advocating
long, loose trousers, gathered at the
ankles, as proper costume fol
women. Other origins include:
Pomadour, for the favorite colt
fure of the Marquise de Pompadour,
mistress of Louis XIV.
The Vandyke beard, for the cele-
brated Flemish portrait painter, Sir
Anthony Van Dyke.
Sideburns, a curious transposition
of the surname Gen. Ambrose
Everett Burnside.
The macadam road, for John
Loudon McAdam, a Scottish inven-
tor.
Mavericks, for former Represen-
tative Sam Maverick of San Antonio
whose ranch calves went unbranded
Derrick, for Derrick, the notori-
GUS hangman of Tyblrn, a place
of execution in London of the 18th
century.
Boycott, for an Irish land agent
Capt. Boycott.
Lynch, from the name of one
Charles Lynch, justice of the peace
Of Virginia, who was noted for TAX
ing the law into his own hands.
Dolly, from the name of a Mr.
Doyley, who kept a diapers shop
in London.
The adjective platonic derives
from the name of Plato, Greek
philosopher, BIC. 427?-327. Epicure
is from Epicurus, Greek philosopher
who taught that pleasure is the
good and the end of all morality.
Mausoleum is from Mausolus,
ruler of Caria, who died about 1853
BIC. A magnificent tomb was
erected by his widow in his memory.

The quetzal is the national en-
blem of Guatemala. Its picture ap-
pears on many of the postage
stamps of that little republic.
With its shining green and Grim
son feathers, this bird would be
beautiful even without its extremely
long feathers. The longest of these
are called "tail coverts," and they
often have length of % or 80
inches. They are about four times
as long as the body of the bird.
Men have spent days in the for
ests of Guatemala in an effort to
see a quetzal at home. Here is the
account which one man gave of his
success:
There, on a limb hardly 20 yards
away, sat a beautiful male. This
sight made up for all the toll of
the past days.
"The quetza l kept its perch,
holding on with it's little feet and
slowly moving its head from side
to side. Spying ripe fruit, it sprang
away and ate it, then returned to
the resting place"

Chas. Devereaux, ST.
In Highway Crash

Charles Devereaux, Sr. suffer
ed fracture of the left forearm
and bruises about the chest in a
car crash at the depot Y, east of
Browning Wednesday morning
around 8, when his car collided
headlong into a truck, that had
suddenly made the No. 2 High
way intersection coming from the
Great Northern depot.
Devereaux, who was accom-
panied by Rosalie Paul, was on
his way to Cut Bank to buy his
1850 car license, and is under
stood to h ave driven around a
parked car, not observing the
truck.
The slippery condition of the
highway at the scene contributed
towards causing the accident, it
being impossible for Devereaux
to successfully maneuver his car
to avoid the oncoming truck.
Mrs. Paul suffered cuts and
burises about her body and feet.
Both were picked up by pass
ing motorists and brought to the
oc a hospital. Mrs. Paul was
later taken to the Memorial Hos
pital at Cut Bank.
The accident was investigated
by Highway Patrolman Yost.

Winter Snow
Contains Gas
Inches 0f.Water

Since October l., 1877 inches OF
snow has fallen on the Blackfeet
Reservation, the water content
being 6.48 inches, according to
P. G. Anspach of the Agency if
rigation Office.
With round the clock" tenn
peratures during the last week
ranging from 80 to 60 degrees
above, melting snow has begun
to give alarm of what can and
might happen in causing unprec-
edented floods in this immediate
area. Already, seepage through
cement basement walls of sever
al Browning homes has begun.
However, with but little or no
frost in the ground in most Sec
tons, snowbanks are r apidly
shriveling from their recent mon
ster sizes and are being absorbed
by the soil.
The abundance of snow under
conditions of long con t in u e d
warmth could not help but cause
a heavy run-off. which would
cause damaging floods, especial
ly in Browning, which lies in a
basin in direct line of excess
water originating in snowbanks
on the Browning fairgrounds
and an area west towards Glac-
Ter Park.
A providential prevalence of
not-too.severe zero weather is
to be desired as a check to a too
rapid release of snowbanks dur
ing the next two weeks. On the
other hand, more winter wealth
er can be reasonably expected.
This would act as a check against
serious floods.
