1t was not clear to Mr.. Muzzy
where today's hand would be
played until he heard Mrs.
Keen's third bid-that Is, her
four diamond bid.
On the first round, Mrs. Keen
Jumped to two spades to make
sure the bidding would not be
dropped under game. On the
second round, there was still no
hurry about showing her fine
diamond support. She showed
her heart strength instead.
At this point the hand was a
misfit as far as Mr.. Nuzzy knew.
But when Mrs. Keen bid four
diamonds on the next round. the
situation cleared up. Mr.. Muzzy
properly bid four no trump, in
tending to pass if his partner bid
five diamonds. showing just one
ace. When Mrs. Keen showed
two aces, he went on to slam.
Mr.. Muzzy bid surprisingly
well. But as usual, he fell down
in the play. The deuce Of spades
was opened and won with dunn
my's ace. A small diamond was
led, Mr.. Champion ducked and
the seven in the closed hand
Won.
Another diamond lead to dunn
my's king was won by Mr..
Champion with the ace. OF
course Mr.. Champion made the
right return, another diamond,
and now Mr.. Muzzy was unable
to ruff more than one of his los
ing clubs. He placed another
club on dummy's king of spades
but still had to surrender a club
to Mr.. Dale.
After winning trick two with
the seven of diamonds, Mr..
MuzZy should have abandoned
trumps. His better play was to
cash the ace and king of clubs
and ruff a third round of clubs
on the board. If Mr.. Champion
over-ruffed, it would take his ace
to do it and the best he could do
after that was to lead his last
diamond. But on this sequence
of plays, there would still be a
trump in dummy to ruff another
club loser.
If Mr.. Champion elected not
to over-ruff dummy on the third
lead of clubs, Mr.. Muzzy could
have discarded a club on the
king of spades, entered his hand
with the king of hearts and
ruffed his last losing club on the
board. Either way, IL tricks were
available.

Among the birds which call out

They belong to the spite family,
and are claSSed as wading birds.
Thousands of godwitS make
their nests in. North America, but
most of them go to South Amer

remain on our continent winter
in such southerly places as Mex

People who live in the Missis-

or Pacific Coasts, are likely to
see godwitS in migration during
June. To large extent the

ing places in Canada. Along the
way they make stops for food.
GodWits like to be near water
(salt or fresh) but they usually
go to prairie lands for the breed
ing season. Saskatchewan is one
of their favorite summer homes.
Herbert K. Job, naturalist,
tells how he located a godwit
nest by accident in the midst of
grass on a Saskatchewan prairie.
He says:
lone day, while we were driv-
ing our team over the trackless
prairie, we were startled by an
almost human scream. A large
bird fiuttered from under the
feet of the horses"
Godwits also go under other
names. In various sections they
are called goose birds, martins.
