WHAT with a big week end
coming up, let us remind you
that everything you need in the
way of a Labor Day feast is
available at Center Market City.
Whether you're taking to the
highway, or whether you're
staying at home and having
visitors, you'll find everything

marketplace.
AS YOU KNOW, Washington
taxi drivers are experts on Just
about everything. And we think
the comment of one of them
proves what we mean about
Center Market City. The other
day we were in a rush and the
family bus was in use, so we
took a taxi to the Market.
"DO all of my shopping there

meat stands especially because
of the variety. Did you evel
stop to think that if you shoI

The man hit the nail right
on the head. That's the thin,

the tremendous variety that

Baboon ropes which festoon many
forests in southern Africa produce
valuable berries. The berries are
red, and are about the size of cher
ries. Baboons and monkeys like to
eat them, and so do people. The
native Kaff1rs cook them, and turn
them into preserves of a sort.
Moss of a golden color also hangs
from South African trees. This
moss may hang down from a
branch for distance of from 6 to
II feet.
The thorn trees and bushes of
southern Africa are amazing in
some ways. Besides the giraffe
thorns, there are acacia thorns
which have spikes as much as 7
inches long. These spikes may get
to be as thick as a mans finger.
The thorns grow in pairs on the
branches and twigs of the white
thorn acacia. They are very sharp
as we'll as strong, and woe to the
annual or man who falls into q
tree. OH Is pushed into one!

the euphemism 'doughgy' for use
in mixed company. In time the
spelling was shortened to 'dogie,
giving us the present-day word"
Other theories from Texas readers
are substantially the same. And
have come across two mentions of
the word "doughgies" in Dictionary
of American English, University of
Chicago Press. The first is from
the Century Magazine, 1888: "They
were mostly Texas doughies-a
name I have never seen written; it
applies to young immigrant cattle"
The second is from the book wild
erneSs Hunter" by Theodore Roose-
welt, 1893: weak trail doughgies
had been brought in by g. Texas
COW outfit"
first heard the word dogie as a
young man in West Texas where
I had gone for my health. One day
while riding across the prairie

asked: Say, yuh amt seen airy

Stories are related of cattle at
the edge of a herd being pressed
against white thorn acacias and
dying as a result of wounds. In
one case a lion fell into one of
these trees when it missed its mark
in a spring at another animal.
We are told that the lion was spiked
by the ttorns ard was held in place
until 1t perished. Instead of finding
a victim, it became victim of the
white-thorn acacia.
Thorns of a different kind grow
on the grapple plant, often called
the hook thorn" Its thorns are
curved, and might make a person
think of hooks used for fishing.
The grapple plant is a bush, and
masses of the hooks grow around
the flowers. Nature has provided
the hooks to guard the plant, with
its pretty purple flowers, from being
eaten.
The flowers are large and hide
the hooks to a certain extent. When
the seeds form, however, the hooks

The bidding:

diamonds Pass 3Spades Pass
4clubs Pass diamonds Pass
5hearts Pass 6hearts Pass
Pass Pass
Opening lead: Two of clubs.
Where choices of bids are pre-
sented the success of the hand
frequently will depend upon the
exact sequence in which the play
er elects to- make his several calls.
In today's hand, South opened
with one spade and West made a
non-vulnerable overcall of two
clubs. After North's free bid of
two hearts, South had several calls
available to him. He could bid
three or four hearts, three dia-
mondS or make a cue bid of three
clubs. South chose to bid three
diamonds.
While it is true that technically
this bid is not forcing and North
might legally pass, as practical
matter, it is inconceivable that he
would care to do so. After all, he
did fancy his hand sufficiently to
make a free bid. Why, therefore,
would he suddenly decide to throw
IN the sponge in the face of South's
display of great strength? This risk
was infinitesimal and was worth
taking for the sake of describing
the texture of South's hand.
If the diamonds were not shown
at this point, it would be almost
impossible to show the suit later,
because at such time partner
would gain the impression that
you were merely showing the ace.
North took the preference by re-
turning to three spades and South
was encouraged to show the club
void. North now bid four diamonds
with the intention Of describing
a value in that suit. South's in
vitation bid of five hearts was then
accepted by North.
To the casual observer 1t might
appear that North was unduly ag-
gressive with a hand that on the
surface did not appear TO hold
much power, but as the bidding
developed, it gained new lustre. He
held precisely the right kings,
each Of which must be considered
as having been promoted to the
rank of an ace. There could be no
question but that they would COM
pletely solidify South's hand. His
only weak spot, clubs, had been
taken care of by South's cue bid. |
He had no wasted values.
Souths sequence Of bids had
simplified North's task. The knowl-
edge that South had a diamond
suit rendered the XII Of diamonds
much more impressive than they |
might otherwise have appeared.
It is generally good tactics to
postpone cue bids until late In the
auction after descriptive bidding
has been completed.

Al n scuekI
Is Not Correct

MccHORD AIR FORCE BASE,
Tacoma, Wash, Feb. To- LIP
There has been change in the
story that all II Of those men in
the B-36 had been rescued or
sighted. Al corrected report from
the Coast Guard says six Of the
men are still. unaccounted for.
AT first it was thought that
these six were still on the island
from which the others had been
rescued. Now, however, search
headquarters at McChord Field
says the hunt is still on.
The II men parachuted from a
B-36 bobmer when it failed them
early Tuesday morning over the
Queen Charlotte Islands off the
north coast Of Canada. With the
plane on fire and losing altitude
rapidly, the crew jumped. Ten
men survived this ordeal unhurt.
And eleventh was injured when
he landed.
The ten able survivors were
picked up off their island by a
fishing boat and later flown to
McChord Field. The injured man
both legs broken was taken
out by a rescue team and put
aboard Canadian destroyer in
nearby waters for treatment. An
American plane has taken off to
bring him back, too.
The original report that all II
men were safe came from a base
in Alaska, and the Coast Guard
simply reported today that this
was not correct. There is no in
formation en- the six. The only
thing that's known is that they
parachuted from the crippled
plane along with the others.
The B-36 was on flight from
Alaska to Texas. The pilot, Cap
tain Harold Barry of Hillsboro,
Illinois, is among the survivors.
The injured man is Sergeant
Vitale Tripod, of Brooklyn, New
York.
