Little emphasis is ever placed by
this department on the speed with

Numerous examples are offered
showing hands that were lost by an
impulsive rather than q deliberate

to take time out at that juncture to
formulate his plan Of attack.
But, as viewed by this observer
there Is another side to the story

In todays hand South became de-
clarer at a contract of four spades
Unduly Influenced by the honors
South chose to Jump in spades. Bet
ter tactics, with this evenly balanced
hand, would have been to pursue
the no-trump game, which would
have presented declarer with nc

After the opening lead, South en-
gagged in an inordinately long hud-
die, affording East the opportunity
to do a little calculating of his own
Declarer at long last concluded that
his only chance for the 10th trick
was the jack of diamonds. He,
thereupon, led the eight of spades
over to dummy's nine and played
the three of diamonds. East had
already done his planning and was
not to be caught in a brown study.
During declarer's huddle he had
concluded that South surely had
seven quick winners to. justify his
jump rebid of three spades and
there were two additional tricks

Uncle Rows Corner

There are a few kinds Of plants
which never have seeds. Ferns and
fungi are examples Of such plants;
they produce spores instead Of
seeds.
The great majority Of plants how
ever, come from seeds. They produce
flowers and seeds are formed In the
flowers.
II we plant beans, they grow into
plants, and the plants blossom.
In due course, pods take the place
of the flowers. II the pods are al
lowed to mature, instead Of being
picked while young, they will have
in them mature beans, and the new
beans can be planted the next year.
In the same way, fruit trees pro-
duce flowers and fruit. Inside q
piece Of fruit, we find one or more
seeds. Take peach, for instance.
If we plant the pit, we may get a
peach tree-provided that we wait
long enough.
When We eat beans, we consume
the seeds, and the same is true Of
peas and many other plant prod
ucts. In q sense, however, we can
eat q peach land have 1t, too." The
seed is still there after we eat the
fruit. An apple may be eaten with
half q dozen or more seeds left
over. A fruit seed may become a
tree If it is planted in the right
place and supplied with water, but
modern experts often use graft
Ing" instead Of planting seeds, to
add to their crops of fruit. The
grating method is used for many
kinds Of fruit, but not all kinds.
Wild plants have scores of ways
to spread their seeds. Often the
wind does the work of carrying the
seeds from place to place.
HawkweedS are a pest in Europe,
North Africa and elsewhere. Their
seeds are punched very much like
those of a dandelion, and the wind
picks them up when they are zoos
ened. Far and wide, the lightweight
seeds are blown, to settle where
they may and start new patches
of weeds.
Most hawkweed flowers are yel-
low, but some kinds have other
shades. A type of hawkweed in
Southern Europe has orange flow
ers and Is known as the devils
paintbrush."
In times gone by, there was a
belief that hawks had better eye
sight because they ate hawkweeds.
The Juice of these plants was sup
posed to keep hawks sharp-eyed.
That is the reason for the name
which has been given to hawk
weeds"

toward the jack, but he was equally
convinced that going up with the

 "The question arising in the minds of the taxpayers are such as these: With the Territory having an attorney general and an assist ant attorney general, why should such fees be paid out for addition al legal talent; is this a fair bill or an exhorbitant price for such service; also, whether it is ethical in the law profession to receive Territorial fees directly resulting from Territorial bills sponsored in the house by oneself
 These are some of the questions think the Special Investigating Committee should look into.

 L0TIIE SpICkET1

The Juneau Memorial Library drive, after taking Sunday off, got away to a rousing start this week with $200 rledge arriving at the home of B. D. Stewart, acting drive chairman, from Mrs. Lottie Spick- cit, owner of the Spickett Apart ments.
 This generous donation brings the needed amount for erection of the structure down to $1,3l2.19-closer and closer to where the fund will get out from that -four figure" amount and into the easy hund- reds.
 A total of $7O000 is sought for the building, which will be match ed by federal funds through the General Services Administration, set up to aid community projects such as this.
 Dr. James c. Ryan, commission CT of education and member of the library board with Stewart, was back in his office this morning after a weeks meeting with the Board of Education in Ketchikna. He was tied up in conferences when called upon, but rumor has it that he might have announce ment of another donation received just as he returned.
 Last weeks total amounted to S553 received by the board. To-

 John Argetsinger, in charge of the federal agency which will con- tribute the other $70,000 needed, is expected back from Washington soon, and will be able to give in- formation on plans and any chan ges in them brought about by the projected buying of portion of the lot owned by the library board by the city for erection of new city hall.
