On your next visit to New

weeds and wolfberry bushes

short grass plains.
Most of them are nocturnal
rovers that may be easily dis

shrill little voice when some
choice bit of food has been dis
covered. During the daytime
they are not difficult to capture.
They have no fear concerning
traps that offer food and you
often come across one caught in
a trap where the food offered too
much temptation. The impris-
oned one is often unharmed and
may have company at the feast.

Contract Bridge
BY EosIey Blockwood

Mrs. Keen lost this contract
at the very first trick. The
opening lead was the queen of
hearts and she let it hold. Now
the hold-up is an excellent play,
designed to cut the communica-

hands. But sometimes you can
not afford to use it because it
is overshadowed in Importance

The bidding:

Inc Dl0dlng:
South West North East
INT Pass MT All pass
Such was the case in today's
deal. 1t was more important
here to make sure of preserving
the ace Of hearts as an entry to
dummy later in the play.
At trick two Mr.. Meek led the
four of hearts and dummy's ace
had to be played. Mrs. Keen
then made a fine play in the
club suit. To avoid losing two
club tricks if one opponent had
four to the queen-ten, she led
the ace first and followed with
the deuce. intending to play her
nine spot if Mr.. Masters played
low. But on the second club
Mr.. Masters went up with the
ten.
Mrs. Keen played her king
and returned the nine, feeling
quite satisfied with the way she
had handled the suit. Her Ella
tion was short-lived. however,
when Mr.. Masters let the nine
win.
The good defensive play made
1t impossible for her to win any
more clubs. She needed two en-
tries to dummy-oue to knock
out the queen and one to get
back for the fifth club. She
had only one entry, the ace of
diamonds.
The contract could have been
made If the first trick had been
won in the closed hand with
the king of hearts. Mrs. Keen
then could have played the clubs
as she actually did, cashing the
ace first and following with a
small one toward her king-nine.
If Mr. Masters had played small.
the nine would have won. If
the nine had lost to the queen
or ten in Mr. Meek's hand, that
would have been all right, too,
as it would have meant that the
clubs had broken 80 and that
four tricks were readily avail
able in the suit.
In any case the best play was
to take the lead at the first op-
portunlty and set the club suit
while both red aces were still on
the board.
