Natures Children 8, lu'isn Co. A.h.,

Among birds who love to
dance, strut and do stunts, few
excel the albatross. This bird,
though graceful in the air. on
land is one of the most awkward.
It appears to be willing to do
anything for a laugh, though its
spectators may be of its own
kind, putting on similar antics.
This web-footed, twisted
beaked, happy-go-lucky fellow is
the bird kingdoms greatest air
traveller. Midway Island is
the principal nesting area. To
this spot, most of the albatross
head. The bird spends between
three and four months of each
year far out at sea, in almost
continuous flight from July to
November.
Out of the Pacific skies you
will see albatross squadrons rise
with wide-winged swoops, until
an altitude is reached where air
currents make for excellent trav-
ell. With unerring directional
sense, they find the place they
started out for in the beginning.
To land. the flier begins a long

outstretched, he selects a landing

The goonie infant is covered

Pop Goes the Weasel!" be-
came popular in London in 1852.
The song had an almost endless
number of verses, most of which
were ribald accounts of "the way
that money goes" in Saturday
night carousings. Following each
verse was the chorus:
Up and doDn the City road,
In and out the Eagle,
That's the iDay the money goes
Pop goes the lDenseli
A footnote on page $40 of
Bartlett's Familiar Quotations"
explains that 'The Eagle was a
music hall. in which drinks were
sold, on the City road, London.
The weasel was a tool used by
hatters, often pawned on Satur-
day night, pop being equivalent
to hook" Webster's also ex-
plains pop" as British slang for
"act of pawning: state Of being
pawned."
So now we know tand I am,

Fomous Fables
By {. (. Edqor

ATTENDANCE - some
years ago. in Paris. French
conductor Pierre Monteux
was having difficulty with
the members of the orches-
ira, whose attendance at re-
hearsals was spotty.
The musicians could find
work at higher pay at night
clubs and hotels. AS a result,
they showed up for rehear-
sails only when they had no
other jobs. The conductor
was forced to make endless
requirements.
The lone exception was a
piccolo player who dutifully
attended every practice ses-
sion. When the final rehear-
sal was over, Monteux
turned to the man and said:
II want you to know that
I am grateful for your faith
full attendance"
"You are very kind, macs
tro."
mot at all. Your devotion
to duty could well be emu
lated by your colleagues"
Thank you. maestro"
There was a pause. Then
the piccolo player said hesi-
family:
"Uh-uh-Monsieur Mon
teux-"
"Yes?"
II hope you will not be
angry, maestro" apologized
the musician, "but I'm
afraid it will be impossible
for me to play at the con-
cert tonight"

Mr.. Dale was ready to pass his
partners two-spade bid and ac-
cept Che hoped) a nice part
score. He had offered two suits.
diamonds and clubs. Mrs. Keen
had shown no interest in either
one. In her suit he held the
singleton trey. It was misfat
all right and the best thing to
do with q misfit is to drop the
bidding at the lowest possible
level.
But Mr.. New had been listen
ing to the bidding. too. He had
made what he thought was q
trap pass on the first round and
now, since the opponents had not
sounded strong and had not
found a At. he decided to come
In at three hearts.
Mr.. Dale licked his chops.
Much bigger things than a part
score were now available. He
doubled promptly.
The opening lead was the trey
Of spades, dummy played low.
Mrs. Keen put in the ten and the
ace won. Mr.. New thought
awhile, frowning at the dummy,
and finally led a low heart. Mr..
Dale won with the ten, cashed
the king and ace Of diamonds
and led a third diamond which
Mrs. Keen ruffed with the six of
hearts.
She now took the king of
srades and led another spade,
Mr.. Dale ruffing with the seven
of hearts. A fourth diamond was
returned and Mrs. Keen ruffed
with the ace of hearts and led
another spade. There was no way
to shut out Mr.. Dale's queen of
trumps and that made it a four
trick set. Slightly better than
bidding two spades and making
three on the North-South cards.
The point Mr.. New missed was
this: The time to back In with
reasonable safety is when your
opponents have agreed on a suit,
not when they have a misfit. II
they have a good. playable suit
the odds are overwhelming that
your side will, too. But II they
have a misfit, you can expect the
same thing your way of the
table.
