Capybara, the largest rodent in

Fomous Fables
By Frank Beck
By {. {. Edoor

CHANGES = Henry Ford
had strong ideas about how
his cars should be built, and
was not inclined to listen
to advice. One time he
learned that the Ford deal
ers were complaining about
a certain feature of the
Model T. Mr.. Ford had no
intention of making any
changes. Nevertheless, he
could not afford to ignore
the dealers.
TELL them to form a COM
mittee to suggest changes"
he told his general manager.
"But. Mr.. Ford" said the
latter, II thought you
weren't going to make any
changes!"
I'm not" said Mr.. Ford.
That's why I want a COM
mite formed. If / know
committees, each member
will have a different sug-
gestion and they will never
agree. But they won't be
able to say that I wouldn't
listen"
APPRECIATION - Al
though he had his share of
plagiarists, Poet Humorist
Eugene Field never flew into
a rage when others copied
his works and claimed them
for his own.
When he was writing his
column in a Chicago news
paper. he learned that the
editor of a small-town week.
" was lifting his column
word for word and signing
his own name to it.
Mr.. Field did not hit the
ceiling in righteous indig-
nation. Instead. he made
sure to include in his column
a glowing tribute to the ed
itor. lauding him as a writer
of unusual talent.

Against ordinary defense, this
contract would usually be made,
too. But, of course, Mr.. Masters
is no ordinary defender.
The opening lead was the ten
Of diamonds. Mr.. Dale put up
the king and Mr.. Abel won the
trick with the ace. He played
boldly and well. cashing dummy's
two top clubs, leading a third
club and ruffing it with the trey
Of spades.
Now Mr.. Muzzy. master of miss
information, says fourth hand
never has any problems. When
you play last to a trick" he ex-
plains, "you can either win the
trick and door you can't win
it, and don't"
See what would have hap
pened if Mr.. Masters had won
the fourth trick in today's hand.
He certainly could have won it,
if he chose. He was out OF clubs
and he had no less than three
trumps higher than Mr.. Abel's
trey.
But if he overruffed, his trump
holding would have been reduced
to the same number of spades
showing in dummy. He could
have cashed only one quick win
ner, the queen of diamonds.
Mr.. Abel could have won any
other lead, raped out three
rounds of spades, ending on the
board, and the balance of the
club suit would have furnished
enough tricks for game.
Naturally Mr.. Masters did not
overruff at trick four. Instead he
discarded the eight of diamonds.
Mr.. Abel then played the hand
wide open, banking everything
on a 3-3 trump split. He led
three rounds of spades. ending
with dummy's king.
But on the third round Mr.. 1
Dale showed out, dropping a /
diamond. After this it was hope
less, as the club suit could not
be brought in. Mr.. Masters was
the only player at the table with
a trump left and Mr.. Abel could
win only one more trick. the ace
