Only the tail is eaten. The red

Until recently little was known
of the life cycle Of this popular
seafood. The female lays her
eggs in the gulf or ocean during
the months Of May and June to
drift with the tides. Hundreds of
thousands of them drift with
the currents. Hatching in a few
days they now resmble water
fleas. Within few weeks they
reach a length of "a inch. In
body they move into shallow
inshore waters of the bayous
and sounds where river drain
age provides abundant food. AS
they grow they migrate to larger
bodies of water. BY mid-sum-
mer they are inches long
and are of commercial size. In
the winter the larger members
of the clan seek deeper waters.

Fumous Fables
By Z. {. Edqor

ADMINISTRATORS in
ventor Alexander de Sever
sky paid frequent visits to
veterans hospitals during
and after World War II. De
Seversky, who had lost a leg
himself in World War I, paid
particular attention to those
GIs who had suffered loss Of
limbs.
One day, when he entered
such a ward, he observed
that the men were cheerless,
and he attempted to raise
their spirits.
You fellows aren't so
badly off," he said. GAS a
matter of fact, there are GER
tain advantages to having
only one leg. For one thing.
you can't feel it if you're
hit"
He handed a cane to one
Of the vets.
Here. I'll show you what
I mean." he said. Hit me in
the leg as hard as you
want"
The CT took a hefty
swing and whacked the in
ventor across the leg with
all his might.
"You See!" laughed De
Seversky. II didn't feel a
thing!"
His laugh was infectious,
for a moment later the wNrd.
was rocking with laughter.
Still grinning broadly. De
Seversky waved goodbye and
stepped into the corridor
with the officer who had ac-
companied him.
Once outside. his grin
vanished. Wincing with pain.
he bent down and rubbed his
leg vigorously.
Whats wrong?" asked
the officer.
HE hit the wrong leg"
groaned De Seversky.

When player passes out an
opposing bid of two diamonds
and finds out later that his side
could have made two or three
odd in another suit, you often
hear the complaint, "Well, how
could keep it open?, only
had an average hand"
This player is bidding his own
Is cards-one half his sides
potential. The opponents are
not crazy. They know there is
q bonus that goes along with
bidding and making a game
contract.
If they are willing to stop at
q measley two diamonds, then
neither one Of them is very
strong. If our short-sighted
player is not very strong either,
then his partner, unless it's a
faulty deck, must have some
strength.
Before we get into the finer
points of balancing (backing into
the bidding after the opponents
have dropped 1t at a low leveD
let's look at the reasoning ap-
piled to today's hand, a typical
situation.
Mr.. Truck correctly decided
not to come in over Mr.. Cham
pion's one-spade opening. His
main strength was in a suit bid
against him and he had no
really good suit of his own.
With not enough to go to the
two level Mr.. Dale settled for
q 1-no-trump call. Obviously
Mr.. Masters couldn't dream of
bidding at this point because as
far as he know Mr.. Champions
hand might be just a queen
short of an opening game fore
ing bid.
Now when Mr.. Champion
passed, Mr.. Truck knew the
whole story. Neither of his op-
ponents were strong so Mr..
Masters was bound to have some
strength. He doubled glad to
have his partner pass for penal
hes or bid. as his holding de-
hnanded.
h Mr.. Dale didn't relish the pos
sibility of playing at one no
trump doubled and his 2-club
bid was definitely a rescue.
Now Mr.. Masters was well
able to compete with a 2-heart
bid which became the contract.
He made 3-odd. losing spade,
two diamonds and a club. 81.

There are many excellent ways

French Tanks Push
Ahead in Laos Sweep
BY the Assoe,uted Press

SENO, Indo- China. Jan. 19.-
French union forces attacking
with tanks drove today within
6 miles of Thakhek. on the
Thailand- -Indo- China border 40
miles north of Seno. The French
are making a sweep aimed at re-
covering control of Central Laos
territory lost to the Wet Mimi.
Gen. Andre Franchi, the
French commander, launched the
drive on Saturday. Thus far his
troops have encountered little
resistance. He said the Commu-
nist-led Wet Mimi may not try
to defend Thakhek. But I'm
taking nothing for granted be-
cause the Wet Mimi may charge
like a wounded boar"
The Wet Mimi drove the
French from Thakhek and the
surrounding area in a surprise
drive just before Christmas that
split Indo-China in two. The
French did not defend Thakhek.
but now Franchi'S aim is to
regain the lost territory.
Earlier reports said the Wet
M.nh did not remain in Thakhek
but they might try to keep the
French out of the devastated
town. which commands the Me-
kong River.
Other French union forces fam
nng out to the north had crossed
the Senoi River 80 miles north
east of Seno, the French held
Laotian fortress.
In Hanoi, a French Army
spokesman said the heavy
bombings and Strafing of the
Wet Mimi around Diem Bien Phu
had upset the rebels timetable
for an assault on that last big
French stronghold in North
western Indo-C China.

began to supply the upper Missis-
sippi and all of the Missouri water
shed regions with everything a
trapper needed which included a
large volume of goods to trade the
Indians for furs.
Included in this trade besides the
finer apparel-furs were millions of
pounds of buffalo, elk, deer and
bearskins. AS st. Louis began to en-
joy trade from areas south of Mon
tana and furs came in from the Ar
kansas, Kansas and Platte water
sheds, comparisons of quality from
the various ATTITUDES became part
of the trades vocabulary. AS early
as 1922 to 1928 Montana furs were
considered the highest quality avail
able on that market.
AS an illustration of the great
value of furs coming out of Montana
but a few years after Lewis and
Clark had been there, is an invoice
of .boat-load of furs consigned to
Major William H. Ashley, st. Louis
fur trader, in September, 1928. The
total value was $35,810. AS the boats
at that time were propelled by man
power they were not of the carrying
capacity of later boats moved by
steam. The main observation is that
these furs brought S. per pound for
beaver, very high price at that
time and they came from Montana.
Then the Steamboat
Only year after Lewis and Clark
came back from Montana, Robert
Fulton was pushing his steam driven
paddle boat up the Hudson River tc

Missouri River in an unending

Usually it was open to navigation
eight to nine months during the
year. Upstream, the boats were
propelled by man power on push
poles, cars and tow ropes. The
progress would be slow but the load
carried was far greater than any
comparable load moved by the
known methods of land transporta-
ton.
Furs poured into St. Louis in great
volume. Soon this city with a popu-
lation of 1000 people when Louis
and Clark purchased their supplies
was a busting supply center, its
trade consisting largely in handling
furs and trappers' supplies. st. Louis
