He won't explain what he meant.

saying infra dignitatem, Latin for
"undignifed; beneath ones dignity"

@. Is there such a word as
"bodock"?
A. The Usage orange was called
bois dare, wood of (the) bow" by
the American-French, for the wood

This strange partnership is still

Clown Fishes.

GaGdy little 3-inch fish with an
established partnership with the
vicious anemone are known to biol
ogists as clowns, because of their
fantastic uniforms of brilliant yell
low, wide white collars and girdle
at the base of the tail, the orange
fins are bordered in black.
The bizarre clowns move in a
slow clumsy fashion as they come
and go into their bayonet-guarded
castle, the ''sea flower" a large sea
anemone residing on the floor of the
South Seas. AS accepted partners,
they represent one of natures most
amazing examples of symbiosis-the
close association of two unlike Or
|ganiSms for mutual benefit.
The clowns in early youth set up
housekeeping within the innocent
appearing tentacles, defending their
home with remarkable zeal. They

much larger, does the wooing and
makes her mate do all the house
work. Before the eggs are laid, she
stands by while he cleans off the
hard surface at the base of the
tentacles. After she has deposited
her 100000 eggs, he races among
the nearby tentacles directing them
in a downward curve so that the
eggs are hidden from the eyes of
hungry fish neighbors.
The tentacles have the stinging
power equal to a nest of angry hor-
nets. A human brushing against
them receives a painful wound, the
instrument of torture is a fairly
complicated one-cell structure,
called a nematocyst, present in
countless numbers. The stinging
cells eject a dart which, when it
pierces the tissue of an unlucky
victim, injects a poison stong enough
to kill fish and of great discomfort
to man.

in the lethal tentacles. Some observ-
ers have seen the clowns nibbling

but overlooked the fact that his
partner was too, so that a reasona-
bly, good hand could be expected
from him.
1t will be seen that against any
thing but perfect defense the four
spade contract would be fulfilled.
North opens the five of hearts
and when South cashes the king,
he must shift to a club and North
must permit it to hold, else South
will be unable to obtain the ruff
which defeats the contract.
South almost got away with his
four-heart contract, but East liter
ally and figuratively rose to the
occasion. The king of spades was
opened and won with the ace. A
trump was led to dummy and then
a low club away from the ace. Had
East played second hand low, de-
clarer would have forced West to
win the trick and then the clubs
could be established before the king
of diamonds could be attacked. But
East, realizing that if declarer had
the king and jack of clubs the de-
fense was lost, played the queen,
and when it held the trick the shift
to the queen of diamonds was rou-
tine.

Inc pass is SOmetlmeS a lar more
risky procedure than the election to
bid. When the defender who is last
to speak decides to pass and permit
the opposition to play the hand, he
may incur a severe loss if the ad-
verse contract is fulfilled, especially
when it happens to be a slam.
Whereas, deliberate overbid with
intent to take sacrifice may be far
less expensive. However, we hope
this utterance will not be construed
as an attempt to encourage intem-
perance in the matter of sacrifice
bidding. There is nothing quite SO
humiliating as incurring such a loss
only to be greeted by patronizing
observation from the enemy, Il guess
We couldn't have made ours"
South opened with one heart and
West chose to overcall with one
spade. Many players prefer to make
a take-out double with hands of this
type. But West was convinced that
unless partner could act voluntarily
there would be no game for his side.
North raised to two hearts, East to
two spades and South naturally con-
tracted for game.
West now exposed himself to the
charge of being unduly. timid by
failing to bid four spades, but there
is something to be said on his be-
half. AS viewed from this corner,
he was faced with a rather close
question, and, inaSmuch as his part
ner still had an opportunity to
speak, West was reluctant to make
the commitment himself. He pre-
ferred to have East make the final
decision for his side. West held
sound defensive values and If part
ner had any high-card strength the
four-heart contract might readily be
set, whereas West was by no means
in position to predict that he could
make four spades. 1t is with East's
decision to pass four hearts that we
are inclined to take issue. From his
it was highly unlikely
that four hearts could be defeated,
and it should have been apparent
that a four-spade contract would
involve no great penalty.
He argued that he was vulnerable,
