Goren on Bridqe

! Today'S hand, culled from the
current Autobridge series, is offered
as the students delight. Com
bining the technique of the trump
safety play, the strip and end play
and a problem in slam bidding it
fells three birds with but a stone.
If offered a preview of the COM
bined holding, the prudent investor
would be little inclined to embark
upon a slam venture, for he must
be regarded as somewhat less than
d favorite to win. This does not,
therefore, cast a slur upon the
bidding methods employed, for the
players were victims of the most
unfortunate duplication of values
with North's doubleton facing
South's doubleton. North, having
the equal of good opening bid
himself, facing a partner who had
opened the bidding, made the direct
game force of three spades. South,
having values distinctly in excess
of his opening, made a mild slam
try below the game level by show
ing the ace of clubs. North, having
something to spare, willingly showed
the ace of diamonds and South
continued along his merry way by
acknowledging the ace of hearts, all
of this with the option still avail
able to quit at the game level.
North then took it upon himself to
contract for slam.
/ The jack of clubs was opened
and taken in dummy. Trumps must
be attacked. With only three out
standing, the flnesse is superior to
the play to drop the king, but the
question arises as to the proper
spade to lead from dummy. In
order to answer this question prop
erly, declarer must ask himself,
what is it that I fear?" The
answer will be, "OnN that East
has all three spades" In order to
ascertain this fact, in proper time,
declarer leads the jack from dummy.
If East covers, South wins with the
ace and learns that West is void.
Picking up the trumps now becomes
a simple matter and declarer must
turn his attention to the diamond
suit in which he must arrange to
; lose but one trick even if East has
both honors.
He crosses to the king of hearts
and illnesses against East's ten of
spades, then draws the last trump.
He then cashes the two high hearts
and the ace of clubs, completely
stripping both hands of clubs and
hearts. He then takes the diamond
finesse of the ten, losing to East's
queen. Regardless of the adverse
distribution, declarer is now assured
of his contract, for East finds it
impossible to lead without losing a
trick.

A girl named Mary Nicholo writes:
"Is there such a thing as a man.
killing vine in the jungles of Africa
or India? was once told by man
who came from abroad that he
knew of natives that have been
caught in these vines and killed. He
claims that the vines twine around
q person and hold him.
1t is possible, Mary, that persons
travelling through jungles have lost
their way and have become tangled
in vines. Perhaps, after struggling
to get to some point beyond the
jungle, they have become tired and
hungry, and have given up, dying
in the midst of thick plant growths
That might give rise to a story OF
vines capturing and killing them.
No plant is known to science,
however, which kills people by
grasping and holding them. There
are plenty of poisonous plants which
can be fatal to human beings, but
that is another thing.
Before this I have written articles
about insect eating plants. These
include the pitcher plant and
Venus aytrap. Such plants really
capture insects and digest them,
but that is very different from doing
the same thing to human being!
Another reader, Lee Davis, asks:
"Is there anything like being
which is half human and half fish?
If SO, where are they found?"
The only place where such beings
can be found is in myths and leg
ends of the past. Tales about mer-
maids and mermen go far back, but
nothing in the way of an actual
record of them exists.
Myths also tell about various other
creatures of a monster type. One of
these was the Minotaur of Greek
legend. The Minotaur was supposed
to have the head of bull and the
body of a man. The legend went
on to tell OF Athenian youths and
maidens who were eaten by this
monster before it was slain by the
hero Theseus.
The harpies are among the other
ancient monsters described in myths
They were said to have the heads
of women and the wings, claws and
other parts of birds.
