New Improved VEL Does This for You

To still a noisy tongue 'ti| slag- There's nothing like a little fear. -Peter Rabbit.

Perhaps it isn't fair to call a singing tongue a noisy tongue, but what is the sweetest song hut sound? And what is sound but noise? It may be lovely noise but it is noise nonetheless.

Striped Chipmunk had been slnalns- Anyway he called it sing- ing. He was so bursting with spring happiness that he had to at least try to sing. for song is the voice oi joy. Then Welcome Robin had dis‘- covered an enemy. He had screamed a warning that hail stopped all sinking in the Old Orchard. Singing had given way to excited and angry screams as the feathered foil: gathered ~to drive out the enemy. Of course Striped Chipmunk had stopped singing and with Mrs. Chipmunk ha.d gone down out of sight in the old stonewall. Their home was somewhere underneath it. They didn't wait to find out w o the enemy was. Being such small folk they long ago learned to seek safety first and find out things afterward.

It was a long time before Striped Chipmunk poked his head out from between the stones of the Old wall. His feathered neighbors were singing joyously, so he knew that the danger was over. He came

out on top of the old wall. Once - more he felt the urge to sing. but first he wanted to find out who the enemy was the birds had driven away. Peter Rabbit was still sitting in the bushes close to the old wall. _

"Who was it?” asked Sulped Chipmunk. "Was it Black Pusy?"

"If it had been. you wouldn't find me sitting here now." replied ‘Peter. "It was nobody, much: no-

"Who Striped Chipmunk. His voice was sharp. lt-was anxious. There was something very like fright in the sound (if it.

"It was nobody but Mr. Black- snake. I'm not afraid of him.” replied Peter. He sounded scorn- ful. Had Mrs. Peter been in his place she wouldn't. have been scornful No. sir. she wouldn't have been scornful. She knows all about Mr. Blacksnake and his fondness for any helpless babies small enough for him to swallow. Striped Chipmunk dodged back between the stones. only his sharp face with its bright eyes showing. There was fright and a look of worry in those eyes now. "Mr. Biacksnake!" he exclaimed. and his voice was so low Peter could hardly hear it. "Where Is he. Peter Rabbit? Tell me where he is!" "How should I know? He isn't around here. I haven't seen him. Winsome Bluebird said they drove him under a pile oi old posts at the end of the Old Orchard. He

The winning defensive play in today's deal required unusual alert- ness. but no more than that."

South dealer; _ , _ \V Both sides vulnerable. '

6 O Theoretically, South had no right to bid again over North's five Sindee. since North. by using the Blackwood convention. had assum- ed the "captaincy." South, how- ever, felt that if North could af- ford to make a lump takeout on the first round and later use the four-noirump sliim try, there ought to be a good play for l2 tricks. Actually, there was a very bad play, because North had so little in diamonds. but South neverthe- less made his slam. West opened the heart queen. Dummy won, and declarer drew two rounds of "limbs. He cashed the club king. led a heart to dummy, then led the diamond four to his own ace. Now he returned to dummy with a trump, discarded a diamond on the club ace. and ruffed dummy's last heart. South now led low diamond t0- ward the 10-9-8— and West was caught napping! Without a seconds thought. he played the diamond jack-only to sea East win the trick with the queen! When East had to return a club or a heart. South promptly discarded his own last diamond while he ruffed in dummy. If West had merely followed the play, he would have realized that this was one time when he could not afford to try to win a trick as cheaply as possible! South obvi- ously lacked the diamond queen (with that card, he scarcely could have Ignored the chance to finesse; and thus it was imperative that West should not let his partner be "stuck in" with the diamond queen. By putting up the diamond king. Wlaatl could have protected himself I

may still be there for all 1 knowf’; Peter replied. l "supposing he isn't. Supposing he has left there and now is some- where in the old stone wall. He likes this old wall because it is so easy to getsout of sight in it. Do you think he is somewhere in it now, Peter? Don't tell Mrs. Chip- munk. She would be worried ai- most to death if she should find i out that Mr. Blacksnake is any- j where in the neighborhood," cried . Striped Chipmunk.

"What's worrying you? He can't catch your or Mrs. Chipmunk if you ivatch for him and don't let him get close to you. Why are you so afraid? It is silly to be so scared." said Peter. r "It isn't for myself or for Mrs. Chipmunk that I am afraid. It is the babies, our tiny, helpless ba-j bias." explained the little Squirrel. "But, why worry about them? They are way down underground in your hidden bedroom. aren't they?" said Peter. I "Yes," admitted Striped Chip- munk. “Biit what good does that do if Black-snake once finds where we are living! I guess you don't understand. Peter. The two ene- mies we dread most are Shadow the Weasel and Mr. Blacksnake, and it is for the same reason. They can go anywhere we can, even into our underground home straight to our Iiabics. And no other hungry enemy can do that. Mrs. Chip- munk was right. I shouldn't have been singing. letting folks know where we are. I should have held my tongue. That's what I should have done."

He did for the rest of the day.
