A small boy and his mother. who had been hearing strand? WWW in the old house in which they liv- ed. had been startled by an extra loud sound. a thump. II of Wm thing heavy falling. Mother bad old her small son that there were so such things as ghosts. Now aha was almost belilmhlil 10 Mlle" that there might be. It really did seem as though the old house were haunted. ,

This heavy thump had seenmd to come from a closed room. it was the "best" or company room and used only when there was com- pany. They opened the closed door and turned on the light. At ii-sat everything seemed to be just the same as it had been when they had last looked in there. Then mo- ther took away the screen from in front of the bit old fireplace and there lay a brick. that had fallen from up in the chimney. The small boy suggested that It might have been a ghost that had made the hrick fall and mother agreed that it might have been. Of course she n as joking.

Hardly were the words out of hor mouth when Billy exclaimed. "Look over there in the cornerl It must be a ghost!" .

Mother looked. She saw a pair of round yellow eyes staring at them. At first that was all they could see. just those round. yellow somewhat fierce-looking eyes. For a moment they gave mother a funny feeling. Then she saw to whom they belonged. It was ,. L, the Screech Ow

"There's our ghost!" she cried. "He must have been in here for two or three days and made the ghostly sounds we heard."

"But how did he get in here?

The average player is not alone in this habit-some hllh-rank- hid Pllyors follow the same phil- osophy. It is however extremely questionable that this is truly the conservative course because the plain fact is that there is little dan- ger in a light opening bid but a great deal of danger in the delayed participation.

South's behavior in the following deal is very much a case in point.

South said later that he had been highly tempted to open the auction originally but wanting to be "sound" had decided to pass. In view of this fact he argued. "he had every right to overcall East's heart bid."

Thl! Particular line of reasoning however did not work out very well! West's prompt penalty double of the nutrump put South into the Position where he could neither Stay nor run-certainlygthe doubl- ed contract was far from comfort- able but even if North-South had run out to their fitting four-card diamond suit they would not have saved anything.

On lead against the one-no-trump contract West elected to open his f0llI'1h highest club instead of part- ner'a heart suit and even though South found an auxiliary club atop- DEP in dummy he was acutely un- happy. The H defending perfectly managed to collect no fewer than eleven tricks and so the one-no-trump contract suffered a 900-point penalty even though North-South were not vulnarablai

One thing is sure: once South passed originally he should have

Big and powerful though he be, the clephant makes way for the terrible driver ants of Africa. Mov- ing in seemingly endless columns. these pirate of the insect world march relentlessly toward an un- known destination. They form liv- lng links and bridges to cross streams of any size. And woe to all enemies that cross their path.

when the parents of young eag- les think the young fry ought to be on their own they ease them out of the nest-forcibly.
