llv BIG CLAW LOOKS DOWN

Pray look not down on lowly born; They yet may look on you with

scorn.

-Big Claw the Crab

Big Claw the Land Crab is a lowly person. That is, he is lowly compared with most other folks. He digs in hole in the ground for his home. and he scuttles on the ground so close to it that his lower shell almost ruibs on it as he moves about. He runs side- wisc so as to be able to look two ways at once, and he is so sus- picious of everybody that he scl- doim ventures far from his door- way. scuttling back home at the least unusual movement or any- lllilllg near him. He is a very sus- picious person. is Big Claw the Land Crab. just like Cousin Pin- cer, the Crab. who lives in the water.

Being such a lowly person Big

MATCH-POINT BIDDING

In yesterday's column it was pointed out that experts make somewhat weaker shutout bids at

bridge. The same emphasis on aggressiveness can be found in other phases of bidding at match-

points. Observe. for example. how a prominent pair won top score on the follovciiig deal. which occurred in the recent. Easti-rn

At 15 o( the 16 tables in one

section. North-South bought the contract at a coimtortable two dio- nionds or two hearts. and. whe- ther these contracts were fulfill- ed or defeated a trick, in no case did the East-West score come to more than 50 points.

These were more or less "nor- mal" results. East had nothing resembling an opening bid. and dia- mond opening. West could cer- tainly not afford to take action. vulnerable as he was. Thus, in a safety sense, East-West could not even get. into the bidding.

To repeat, however. one expert West took a dlf-rereni. view of the

matter. This was the auction at his table. '4” lsq-mi w : -U" --. -1. .3. M PW Pm Double .1. 3 . P3” Fun Fun Observe that West did not risk immediate, action over the dia- - mond bid. but when North's weak

Thornton W. Burners!

Claw has been looked down on all his life by most at his neighbors. Now he was looking down on some of them, and it he was look- ing a little scorniully at those below him who could blame him”! He had been looked down on so much that it is not to be won- dered at it he iound a certain pleasure in doing the same thing to others. Where was he? He was up among the cocoanuts in the top ol a palm tree where two boys, looking up. couldn't see him but he, looking down. could see them.

There were great big cocoanuis. almost as big as one's head. There were middlesize cocoanuts. There were little cocoanuts. There were teeny-weenry coco.1nuLs that would nccd almost a year in which to grow in-to great big cocoanuts. And nll were up there together. with the great big cocoaniuls low- est. the middle-size cocoanuts. the little cocounuts just above. and higliest of all. but still only 3 very little above, were the teeny-iveeny cocoanuts.

Now one of the great big cocoa- nuts was ripe. It was almost ready to lct go and fall as other ripe fruits so often do. In climibing about among those cocoanuts Biz Claw touched that one ripe one and it did let go and fall. It fell down. down. down, and it Fnmier Brown's boy hadn't mov- cd just then it would have hit him right on the head. If it had he would. I suspect, have izilicn too. for that was a very big cocotinut and a very hard cocoa- nut. and it tell a very long way. it hit. the ground with a thump.

"Don't tell me you think he did it purposely!" cricd Tommy when his llricnd suggested that it would have been funny if one ol tliepi had been knocked out by a Crab.

"0! course it just happened. and if one 0! us had been hit it would have been an accident." replied the other.

”I'm glad it didn't happen." said Tommy as he picked up the cocoa- nut. It was heavy and hard. "You didn't. answer my question. I asked it you suppose that Crab cut or pulled that cocoanut loose."

The other shook his head. "No." said he decidedly. tile may have caused that nut to fall, but it so it was pure accident. Cra-bs like cocoanut meal. I know that be- cause it is a. good bait for trap- ping tlicni. Biit Crabs can't open big cocoanuts like that one."

"Then what has Big Claw climb- ed up there for? He didn't do it to get the view, did he?" asked

Tommy. The other chuckled. tNu," said he. "Big Claw dldnit climb up

there to get the view. Despite those big staring eyes of his I doubt he can see far. I don't know what he climbed up there for. I can only guess."

"What do you giicss'."' demand- ed Tommy.

"1 have an idza that he may have climbed up there to nibble at one of those teeny-weeny cocoa- iiuts that are not hard like the big ones. 0! course I am only guessing, but that is what I think. Anyway you have seen that he can and does climb a tree. Why would he do it if it were not to get somcthingtocat? He wouldn't Anyway. I don't believe he would," explained the boy to whom it was nothing new or strange to see I Crab climb a tree.

"Funny things happen down here in the Land-at-always-surrh mer, things hard to believe," said Farmer Brown's boy slowly shak- ing his head.
