the young gorilla has rebelled

after being placed in a cage. AS
result Hugo has been dividing
his time between the Greer home

gets along we'll enough with the
adopted daughter of the Greers.
5-year-old girl from Ireland.
This child is clever at spelling.
She can spell such words as

"rhinoceros."
The art of spelling is a COM

that he soon will learn to live

HOUSTON-In this large and
booming city, I have paid re-
turn visit to Hugo!
Perhaps you remember that
Hugo, the young gorilla, spent a
day and a r1ight'at my home last
fall. During the time he was
with me, he shook hands. He also
entertained many boys and girls.
With the help of natives, Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Greer of Hous-
ton captured Hugo in the Great
Rain Forest of west-central
Africa. He was a baby at that
time. Whether he should be
called a baby now, hardly know
Within a short time he will be
years old.

Famous Fables

PROTECTION-Ray Long,
the magazine editor, was a
boy wonder. Still in his 2Os,
he became the managing
editor of a big-city news
paper. Despite the import
ance of his position. how
ever, the staff refused to
take him seriously.
They persisted in calling
him Sonny" They further
got his goat by repeatedly
marching up to his desk to
ask foolish questions. Long
finally became so fed up
that he had a fence built
around his desk.
The morning after it had
been set up the publisher
noticed it. He studied it
for a moment, then turned
to Long, who was a picture
of dignity behind his big
desk.
"Why the play pen,
Sonny?" he asked. Afraid
you might fall down stairs?"
CALCULATION - During
his early years in the United
States Enrico Caruso was
overwhelmed by the money
he was paid for singing. He
would spend hours with
pencil and paper, playing
arithmetic with his earnings.
One night in a restaurant
a friend found him humm1ng
an operatic tune and jotting
numbers on the tablecloth.
Caruso would hum a few
notes. then make a nota-
ton. After watching him,
the puzzled friend asked:
Would you mind telling
me what you are doing?"
Il am counting the num-
Der of notes in the arias I
am going to sing tonight"
replied the singer.
"And why are you doing
that?"
Caruso bent over the
-tablecloth and made some
rapid calculations. Then he
looked UP and exclaimed:

The bidding:
West North East South
club Double Redouble / Mt
Double All pass
Aggressive bidding had put
them in this enviable spot but
near the end it was aggressive
bidding that was their downfall.
In this hand, Mr.. Abel decided
he had enough to compete after
the opening one-club bid. He
elected to double for a takeout.
Mr.. Dale promptly redoubled.
Possibly Mr.. Treux should have
passed, although the final result
probably could not have been
averted.
He decided on a one-no-trump
bid rather than a spade bid. AS
you see, the spade bid would
have been worse. if anything.
1t is interesting to note both
MIR. Masters and Mr.. Dale had
minimum hands for their re-
spectiVe calls on the first round
of bidding. Yet they unhesi-
tatingly doubled their opponents
at the one level.
To take action like this and
have it turn out successfully, you
must find the right line of de-
tense and find it early.
Mr.. Masters found it here. He
got off to the ten of spades open
ing. Mr. Truck won in his own
hand with the king and led a
heart. Mr. Masters went right
in with the ace and led his last
spade which was taken by dunn
my's ace.
Now Mr.. Truck had no good
lead from the board. He eX-
pected to find all the clubs be-
hind him, just as they were. FL
nally, he led the king of hearts.
There was a chance the queen
would drop. When it didn't, he
led a small heart, hoping the
suit would break 3-3 and that
the king of diamonds might be
an entry to dummy later.
But he had won his last trick.
Mr.. Masters got two more heart
tricks, then led the jack of dia-
monds. After getting two tricks
in that suit, Mr. Dale cashed
the rest of his spades, then LED
a club. Two club tricks made IL
a four trick set.
