lie points out that the thorough

Is subject to many ailments, m
cluding such things as shipping
fever, collie and anemia.
His heart, kidneys and other
organs can get out OF tune as
easily as those of human Given
an opportunity, horse will eat
too nauch-he never knows when
to quit.
However, race herses are like
well-trained athletes and stay IN
shape. Accordingly, they arc able
TO throw off most illnesses IN
short order, given proper treat
ment and care.
DR.. Southland believes racing
could do nothing more useful than
establish clinics.
These, he points out, would be
& godsend to the industry and to
future veterinarians.
One should be in Florida, he
says, and another in New York.
They should have the latest and
best in equipment and medical
techniques, and should include
blood banks like those ayaiblc
TO humans.
Clinics Give Protection
Such clinics would provide
year-round protection for horse
men and could give prompt analy-
ses, resulting in more rapid and
effective diagnosis and treatment.
DR. Southard pointed out that
Florida, for example, now has
four or five million dollars worth
of thoroughbreds at its four
tracks, but not one bit of in
surance in the way of clinic.
At present DR.. Southard's dia-
gnosis work is handled by the
Battle Creek Sanitarium in Miami
Springs, adjacent to TIialeah race
course.
Horses, says Or. Southard, are
much like human beings. Some
have that extra something" that
stamps them as outstanding per-
formers on the turf. They have
the heart and will to win.

In the bushes Santa whispered

other side of the clearing. just as
the fire was started at Tweedle-
knees feet Santa called from the
woods.

Capt. Longhair sprang forward.
After him!" he shouted. He
rushed into the woods followed by
all his men. When they had gone
Prince Jonathan ran into the
Clearing. He stamped out the fire.
He united the ropes that held
Tweedleknees.
RUM" whispered the Prince.
But poor Patrick had been tied
up so long his legs refused to
work. When he tried to run he
fell to the ground.
The Prince could hear the pi-
rates shouting in the woods. Soon
they would be back. He lifted
Tweedleknees onto his back and
ran toward the ship.

Sometimes, as birthday wish,
people say, May you enjoy long
and happy life!" Thanks to mod
ern progress. we people Of the pres
ent century have longer lives, on the
average, than human beings of the
past.
Around us we see members of
the animal kingdom. Little is done
to add to their span of life, but
people do take special care of pets,
and farmers protect their cows,
sheep and other livestock.
Some insects are known for their
short lives. Certain of them exist
for several months, but others
after reaching the adult stage
fly about for only a few hours.
The May fly is one Of those which
fly and die in great hurry. There
are about 500 kinds of May flies, and
they differ in length of life. Some
die within four or five hours after
they start to fly.
The flying stage, however, is
only a small part Of the life story
of a May fly. This insect, Matching
from an egg, becomes larva, with
out wings but with six legs. 1t has
gills and lives under the water.
From II to 36 months pass before
it leaves the water, bursts through
its covering and starts its short
flying life. Some May flies begin to

What about Santa?" asked
Tweedleknees.
Hell outrun them," painted the
Prince. We'll all be safe in few
minutes.
The Prince Was Wrong.
But alas! the Prince was wrong
For as he burst onto the beach he
ran right into the arms of Capt
Longhair himself!
The captain gripped Prince and
the brownie by their arms. "Ha!
he cried. Il suspected just such :,
trick. Now my men will wait for
your friends
They had not long to wait. In
another moment Santa, too, came
out of the woods and was cap
tured by the pirates.
Then Capt. Longhair called out
to the Santa Land folk on the
Merry Christmas: Surrender
your ship or it will be tl e end OF
Santa Claus!"
There was nothing the little
brownies could do but surrender
The pirates boarded the ship and
the precious treasure of gold and
jewels was once more in pirate
hands.

Most kinds Of flying insects have
more time to use their wings. We
hardly can say that the grasshop-

for month or a bit more.
Dragonfiies often live two months

CHAPTER XI.
There was nothing to do but
turn back and rescue Patrick
Tweedleknees from the island
where he had been left behind.
No longer did the crew sing.
Santa stood with anxious face at
the wheel and turned the ship
about. The Prince stared grimly
across the dark seas.
All knew they faced two ter
rible dangers, the pirates and the
loss of the Merry Christmas. 1t
was deep in the night now and
by noon on the morrow the ship
would lose its magic power and
become again a bathtub toy.
Fearfully they sped through
the night. At dawn they spied the
island. At anchor. near the island,
lay the pirate ship flying the skull
and croSSboneS.
But no shot was fired from the
pirate ship. Closer and closer
moved the Merry Christmas. Still
there was not sign of life from
Capt. Longhair and his men.
Drop anchor" said Santa. "The
pirates are probably ashore"
What will we do?" asked
Horace.
Santa Went Ashore.
THE Prince and I will hunt for
Tweedleknees," said Santa. THE
rest of you stay and guard the
ship"
Santa and the Prince went
ashore. Soundlessly they crept
through the woods until they
neared the spot where the treas
ure had been buried. Presently
they heard angry voices. They
peeped through the bushes.
There was the whole pirate
crew and tied to a tree was
Tweedleknees himself.
Capt. Longhair stood twirling
his long red bangs through his
fingers.
where did you get my treasure
map?" asked the captain.
Il found it in my Christmas
stocking" snapped Tweedleknees.
II know the Prince stole the
map!" shouted Longhair angrily.
II want to know how you got it |
and who owns the ship that car
ried my treasure away"
We'll. I won't tell you," growled

Contract Bridqe

Mr.. Muzzy will never learn that
It's winning play to defer the TAX
ing of f1neSse until the last pos
Sible moment. Sometimes it is
possible to wait until very nearly
the end of the hand before finess-
ing, and by that time you may
have gained information indicating
that the finesse is not necessary
Or, possibly, you may have discov-
cred which way to go when you
have a two-way finesse situation.

In today's deal, Mr.. Abel led the
seven of clubs and the queen fell
to Mr.. Muzzy'S lone ace. The queen
Of spades was led, dummy ducked,
and Mrs. Keen won with the king.
She returned club and Mr.. Muzzy
ruffed.
He took one more round of spades
and noted that the contract de-
pended on just one thing-the loca-
tion Of the queen of diamonds.
After much frowning and squirm-
ing, he led the ten Of diamonds to
the ace and returned a diamond,
intending to finesse against Mrs.
Keen. But she showed out and
Mr.. Muzzy was down one.
Lay down your king of dia-
monds first, then run your pack
through" screamed Mr.. Champion.
How can 1 know that?" asked
Mr.. Muzzy hotly. TT was just a
guess"
1T was guess at the fifth trick,
said Mr.. Champion, "but if you'd
played out few more tricks, the
right play would have been sure
thing"
Mr.. Champion was right. Mr..
Muzzy should have played as fol-
lows: After ruft1ng the club return
by Mrs. Keen at trick 3, lead a.
spade to dummy's ace. Return al
club and ruff it. Enter dummy
by ruft1ng a low heart, lead dunn
mys last club and ruff it.
On this last trick, Mrs. Keen
would show out of clubs, proving
she had started with three clubs
and two spades. She would discard
a heart. Now play the ace and
king Of hearts, throwing two small
diamonds from the board. On the
last of these, Mr.. Abel would show
out, indicating that Mrs. Keen had
started with exactly seven hearts.
That would account for IL of her
cards and she could not possibly
have more than one diamond.
Played like this, Mr.. Muzzy's dia-
mond guess" would disappear.
With complete confidence he could
cash the king first. then run the
Jack through, as Mr.. Champion
said.
