Goren on Bridge

Properly employed, the four-no-
trump convention to determine
the number of aces held by part
ner is an extremely valuable tool.
However, players throughout the land
have been done a great disservice
by the pretense that it is a very
easy device and may be learned in
five minutes. One might as well face
1t, in contract bridge there is no
royal or easy road to knowledge.
Skillful employment of the four
no-trump bid requires a bit of
study and great deal of expert
ence. Simply memorizing the
various responses Is not sufficient.
1t requires delicate touch to de-
termine when to use 1t, when to
give partner an opportunity to
employ it and when to suppress
it in favor of cue bidding (that is,
individual ace-showing).
Upon many players the conven-
ton scenes to have a narcotic ef-
feet. 1t is insidiously habit form
ing. The shrewd contestant must
recognize that many slam is de-
pendent not so much upon the aces
as upon distribution.
In today's hand, for example,
the slam depended upon North's
possession of the singleton club.
The suggested bidding is indicated
in the diagram, but when I saw it
in action player of wide expert
ence, by the improvident use of
the Blackwood convention, laid
himself a perfect stymie which he
was not able to surmount.
In third position, South opened
with one spade and North, having
previously passed, was justified in
leaping to three. In the good old
days the rugged individualist, tax
ing chance that his partner had
something in clubs, would straight
way contract for slam, a proce-
dure, incidentally, which is not

Practical English

@. Please give us a comprehen-
sive discussion Of the distinction be-
tween farther and further. In a list
Of sentences designed to teach one
to speak distinctly, I found this
one: THE father walked further
and further in to the woods"
A. Strictly speaking, the words
are neither synonymous nor inter-
changeable. Farther comes from
far, meaning distant" and should
apply only to space or spatial
measurement, as: He walked far
ther and farther into the wood !:
your house is farther from town
than mine is; he lives two miles
farther up the road.
Further is the comparison of
forth, and should designate an ad-
vancemen is time or degree as: He
will consider the matter further:
we shall proceed without further
delay there are. further reasons
for this action.
The authorities admit that many
writer's do no observe this distinc-

ton, and often use further for
spatial distance. On the other hand,
farther is seldom used for time or
degree. My own feeling Is that the
distinction should be preserved.
@. A broadcaster always con-
cludes his program with, a. and
wishing you very pleasant good
afternoon" 1t is my contention that
he is wrong.
|. A. The phrase means literally
Il am being very pleasant in wish
ing you good afternoon" which of
course is not the meaning intended.
If the word good" is omitted, the
phrase is quite proper in the mean
ing of, II hope you spend a pleas
ant afternoon" But obviously one
cannot spend a pleasant good
afternoon" for good afternoon" is
a form Of farewell. and does not
designate q time of day. wishing

scorned by this commentator. But
South. employing his trusty weapon,
asked for aces and North pleaded
poverty. East, in order to sug-
gest an eventual club lead,
doubled. South, looking at two los
| ing clubs, bid five spades and that
was the final contract As will be
seen, IL tricks were there to be
raked in
A Blackwood bid on the part of
South was not indicated, because
he did not need an ace from part
ner in order to reach for a slam.
1t would have been better strategy
for South to have told instead of
to have asked. After the three
spade bid, South should try four
hearts, an ace-showing bid. North
of course, will have to return to
four spades. South now shows the
ace Of diamonds and North, know
ing that the partnership can lose
only one club trick, is in strategic
position to contract for a slam.

Somewhat smaller than Q whoop.
Ing crane, but still Of good size
Is the sandhill crane. When 1t get,
into the air, 1t spreads its wing
30 that they stretch to a width ot
6 feet or a bit more.
Getting into the air is some.
thing Of task for q sandhilI
crane Cor any other kind of crane)
because the body is heavy. 1t take.
OF from the ground after running q
few steps. Once in the air, its flight
Is hardly fast.
Sandinill cranes have gray feath.
ers, some of them tinged OF
marked with brown. The youns
ones are brown all over.
Although far from being com.
mon, these cranes are found from
Southen Canada down to thu
Gulf OF Mexico. They have lon.
legs and often wade in the watel
Of marshes. They eat frogs. snake.
and mice where they can find them
They also eat seeds.
Sandhill cranes make nests ir
almost any part of their range. Ir
Florida and elsewhere around thu
Gulf Of Mexico they often nest ir
the midst of rushes. When they
fail to find a marsh, they put the
large nest on the ground at a spot
hidden by bushes or other plant
life. Some raise their young or
prairies West of the Mississippi
River.
A group of sandhill cranes may
go to sleep while standing. Each
bird is likely to rest on one leg
At least one crane in a grour
must keep its eyes open while the
rest sleep. When a man comes
close, there is quick alarm and
the birds take of as fast as they
can.
A thing of special interest about
sandhill cranes is their dancing
Early IN the spring they gather
In one place or another and the
males leap and hop about. They
bow their heads, as If making
salutes, while the dancing is going
on. They also utter low cries.
The dancing of cranes Is be-
heved to be a part of courting
and takes place early In the nest
ing season. Quite likely, the males
want to show the females what
clever fellows they are.
Hunters have cut down the
number of sandhill cranes. and
there are places where they used
to be common but have failed tn
appear for years. Like other
cranes, they need more protection
from public laws.

|Be|cher Pleads Self
Defense Williams
Staying
By Jimmie N. Jones

Following a three hour legal
battle between Defense attorney
Robert Schroeder and Assistant
Prosecutor John Hoover, the pre-
liminary hearing of j. B. Belcher,
40 of 1884 Tampa ave., was con-
tinued until $50 this morning at
which time Common Pleas Judge
Calvin Crawford was to rule on
the degree of murder to fix on
Belcher.
Belcher is charged with the fatal
shooting of Leslie Williams, 33 Of
54 Barnett ST., and the shooting
of Mrs. Hattie Mae Belcher, es-
ranged wife Of Belcher on the
morning Of August 27, at her
home, 1913 Miami Chapel I'd.
Schroeder %contended, the testi-
mony of bet. 1t. Fred B. Smith
and bet. Sgt. Lucious Gleaton
} lied to show enough evidence to
prove first degree murder and
that the only thing they did pro-
duce was the defendants own
statement following the shooting.
According to Schroeder, the evil
dence did produce the fact that
Williams, a friend of Belcher was
going with Williams and that he
was the cause of the separation
of the couple. Further, Schorader
pointed out, Williams had some
thing shiney in his hands proving
to be an old type pistol that he
attempted to shoot Belcher from
his standing position in the living
room of the house. 1t was on this
basis that Schroeder based his
contention of self defense and ask
ed for a reduction of the charges
in order that Belcher be allowed
bond on a lessor charge.
According to Hoover, Belcher
went to the house where he had
learned his wife had moved on
