OLD MR. TOAD MAKES-DONG HOPS

Better far mistaken fear Than laok of feel- with near.

dange -O1d Mr, Toad

Old Mr. Toad, oldest and biggest at ail the Toads living in Farmer. ffirowrrs garden, and the littlest Toad, just a year out of the Smil- ing Pool where he was born, had become great friends. They were known among the other Toads as "Blg” and "Little". Where one was seen the other was sure to be near.

It had come about because the littlest Toad was smart. Yes, sir, he was smart. He was smart enough to have discovered for him- self the wisdom of age and the ignorance of youth; that one may learn from others things he should knoiw faster and more safely than ' he can find them out for himself Only one who knewail the danflefi a Toad will meet and hc-w to es- cape them, could live to be as old as 01d Mr. Toad, and the littlest Toad was resolved that he would be Just as old.

so the littlest Toad looked up to Old Mr. Toad, followed him every- where he went, did just as he did,

had to say. It was from Old Mr. Toad that the littlest Toad had learned that when out In daytime, Blacky the Crow is to be watched for. Blacky has an appetite tor Toads, young Toads especially. He learned that there are Hawks in daytirnie and Owls at night WI"). Ilike Blacky, occasionally hunt Toads.

"m you happen to be surprised by an enemy, try keeping still, per- fectly still. It is s good trick if you do it right. Remember that and try it." said Old Mr, Toad

most. siraid?"

“One of the Snake folk." replied Old Mr. Toad “There are Snakes and ‘Snakes!’ Some are quite harmless and some are the worst enerniesbwe Toads have. I don't like any ot them, but there are scme it makes me shiver just to think of. Bluffer the Adder, the Hog-nose Snake, is one. ‘rhey say thatflbads are his favorite food

and I believe it. Whenever I hear that Mr. Blacksnake is around I dig in, bury myself in the ground and stay buried until 1 feel sure that he has left the neighboorhood, That, by the way, is the surest way 0i’ escape from any enemy. ‘There is nothing you can hide under from a Snake, because anything you can get under a snake can get-under, too." "

"Ive never seen a Snake." said the little Toad.

‘Tet us hope you never hill, but let us hope especially tihat none will ever see you." said Old Mr. Toad.

"Id you should see a Snake, a big one, and the ground is too hard for you dig in, what. would you do?" asked tho little ‘load.

‘That is a foolish question and t think you know it. If such a thing should happen I'll show you ‘what. fast hopping is. Yes, sir I will‘ so."

They had started out earlier than usual, for the Black Shadows coming out from the purple hills had not yet reached Farmer Brown's garden. They were. hop- ping along n path that led to a favorite hunting place, Just be- fore they got there old Mr. Toad stopped abruptly. He squatted close to the g-roifnd. He seemed to grqw smaller. Certainly he was trying to make l-iiimself smaller. Just ahead oi them something black arid long and round lay on the alrden Ddth. stretched out from the planta on one side.

01d Mi‘. Toad is pop-eyed, any- way. New he was more pop-eyed than ever. That wasn't a stick! It had moved! He was sure it had moved. There! It was moving exam! It was going back among the plants. Old Mr. Toad turned with surprising quickness iorrona who B-Dveared so awkward. Hop hop. hop. hop. hop. hipperty-hov went Old Mr. Toad and each op ‘W! the longest hop he could m ke.

OPENING cum isms AND RESPONSES

g; Contract Bridge

The fact that. opening club bids are so otten made on short suits must influence the responses. Let's consider a typical case:

112th East iZSOMI West Pass P Q aae

EB" Owned the diamond ten; West won and returned the suit. Declarer found it easy enough to collect two diamond tricks, two hearts and two spades, but he found it very diiiicult, in fact impossible to get more than one trump trick. Tihus, his contract o! only two-odd was dcrwn one.

It is a fair obgewdtlgu "m; thousands o1 players in South's position would respond ‘exactly as he did to the one-club opening, Yet Joeioal analysis proves time 1g i! m "Wise "Qvnae. The for more practical and equally m". structive response is one notrump The general notion is that the single raise offers North more en. couragement, and that South i; justified in this effort by his hold. ing. This, however, is not true. Oiie notrump as the response to one club is in an entirely difierent cate- gory hem the same remonse to one spade, one heart, and to a lesser extent, even one diamond.

Experts do not bid one no- trump when their partner opens with a club unless they have a fairly good hand, because this ne- enonse shuts out one dieart and one spade and often results in the bidding reaching g higher level. Obviously, the responder will not. allow the bidding to reeoii that higher level unless he has fairly good support. Thus, with a weaker hand than South's, an expert would bid one diamond, not one notrump, and by that token the fact that he does choose to bid a notrump is sufficiently revealing.

Observe thet'in this case, South could easily make one notrurnp- which is precisely where the auction should have ended. South's "flat" distribution did not warrant pushing to the two-level.
