slow. It is equally true among all the people or the Green Forest and th. Green Meadows. some are called stupid. Usually they are not really stupid. They are simply slow or wit. They cannot think things out quickly. They are not what is called "smart."

Bright-eyed Little Striped Chip- munk, the membe of the Squirrel family that wears the pretty coat, is smart. For that matter all the Squirrel cousins are smart. Anyone who has learned as they have the importance of thriit, is smart. striped Chipmunk had just had a. new treat. On his favorite hlg ilat stone on the top of the old wall, between The Old Orchard and Farmer Brown's dooryard. he had Iound two peanuts. They had been put. there especially ior him by Farmer Brown's Boy. It just happened they were the first peanuts Striped Chipmunk had ever tasted.

He ate one right there on the big that atone. He wouldn't put any- thing away in his storehouse until he had tasted it and made sure that hg wanted it.

"Um-um." said striped Chip- munk as he swallowed the last hit or that peanut and licked his lips. "Um-um! I wish I had a lot or those. I wonder where they came iroon."

First he carried the other peanut down to his new storeroom in his under ground home, then hurried back and started to look ior more peanuts. There were no more any- where along the old stonewall. He ran back and iorth excQ.edly; then he remembered something. Yes, sir. he remembered something, He relnemlbe ed that every once in a while Parmea Brown's Boy brought something good to eat and left it on that flat stone for him. He scampered across the dooryard, his bright eyes searching the ground as he ran. Suddenly they almost popped right out or his head. There

on the ground were several peanuts. They were in the shell. He fairly pounced on- the nearest one. He smiled it into one of the pockets oi his cheeks. He stuifed another into the other pocket.

A contract Bridge

By Josephine Culbertson '

no you LEAD seas: Perhaps the most battling of all bridge problems is this: whether or not to lay down an ace iaesllmins that the opening leader has one) against a small-slam contract.

There can be no "- answer to this , ” ,-because a great manysulbtie iactors are in- volved, including of course the Drecise degree of skill (in bidding

and play) or one's opponents. How- ever. this fact is worth mentionlllg - the average player is too con- cerned with lige immediate trick. and too little concerned with future developments. The lead or an ace against a slam which was bid by intelligent opponents, olten makes declarer's problem far easier than it would have been on a neutral lead. Let's look at '1 MW

nuts. because in that way he could carry more in his pockets. When he had taken home all the peanuts he found on the ground he began to look around. What was that swinging in the wind just above his head? It was one of these delicious nuts. His eyes sparkled. He reached ior it. Stretching his highest, he could just reach it with one paw. That made it swing back and i'orth. You see. it was tied to a string, and the ”otner end or the string

again, The best he could -do was to Just touch that not. He tried a third time with the same result. It was exasperating. It was tantalizing. He sat down and studied that nut. All the time his wits were working. There must be some way of getting that peanut.

Perhaps he could get that nut by jumping. He tried that. He caught the peanut in his two paws. and hung there for a moment or two. Then it slipped out or his paws. and he dropped back to the ground. Right away, he jumped again. This time he hung on, twisting around so that he got hold of it with all (our feet. He cut the string with his sharp teeth and, with the peanut. dropped in the ground. Then he raced home with the nut. When he came back another peanut was hanging there” Right away he Jumped for it. He didn't get it. He jumped and jumped, but he could not reach that peanut; it was too high. Did he give up? He did not. He isn't the giving-up kind.

"I'll get it," said Striped Chip- munk," I'll get it. I don't know how, but I'll get it." He sat down and studied the peanut and the way

West laid down the diamond ace, and it was all over -- from that point on declarer was in control, and with the diamond jack falling, his play was routine.

Now let's see what would have happened if West had not been in such a hurry to get a trick; ii', on the sound analysis that the op- ponents trumps were solid, he had opened ms singleton trump. The writer has no wish to imply that South could not have made the hand, anyway. but the point is that he would have had a much more difficult assignment! His best play at the second trick would be his singleton diamond -- and West should ducki This would let outh "steal" the diamond trick, but it might also easily result in South's going down.
