south didn't bother "with any artificial device when he heard North's double raise - he simply bid the slain. which was very far from illogical. Neither partner would have been able to foresee the duplication or values-the singleton heart in each hand-nor could either of thr-m foretell that the club break would be so bad.

However. North-South had a lit- tle good luck when West. instead of finding the kzlliiig diamond lead, opened his singleton club (a very dubious choice). ..

The club ace won the Ilrst trick; then South drew the outstanding trumps in one lead and went out tor olub establishment, West's showing out was a shock to south: it would be impossible to establish a single club trick aside from the top cards. So, as South saw it,

he would have to take and win the diamond finesse. Retuming to the heart ace. he led a diamond to the queen. and when that card was smothered by East. the con-

By Thornton AT LONG - LAST

Bad indeed is he whose fate Always is in being late. -Dipper the Grebe.

Dipper the Grebe was learning a hard lesson the hard way. He had been late in starting the long Journey from the Far North to the Sunny South ior the winter. Not only had he been late in starting, but Jack Frost had been early in freezing the ponds and lakes and some of those that Dipper had thought to rest in were completely frozen over. so that he had had to make longer flights than his short wings were used to. So day by day he grew more tired, until at last there had come a day when he knew that unless he could reach the Big River where he had oiten reswd in the past, he would have to come down on the snow. And once down he would never be able to get up again.

Not only was he tired, but he hadn't the strength he should have had. Since he started he had had little to eat. He hadn't been able to stop long enough in any of his resting places to get enough food to keep up his strenizth.

I'll only I can reach the Bis Big River be open water there," thought he. 'There is a place where the water runs too fast for Jack Frost to freeze it. It I can get there I will be all right. I can stay there

tract was hopeless.

Sduth was right, oi course. in concluding that a club trick could not be set up. but he was wrong in thinking that this made the diamond finesse obligatory. With the clubs. located. what could have been simpler than to cash the club king. ruft a club. cash the heart ace. lead a spade to dummy and ruff another club, then re-enter dummy with a trump and give East a club trick. discarding a diamond from the closed hand. East would still be on lead!

Open water soon was his only hope now. The Grebe folk have very short legs. They are wonder- iul on and in the water. but they are clumsy and almost helpless on land, or on the snow. The way Dipper can swim and dive is some-

Wants Canada To Aid” Expedition I

LONDON ICP)-The Daily Mail says editorially that Canada should yoin in financing the proposed Brit- ish expedition to Antarctica. '

Cost of the expedition. still in the planning stage. would be about 1250.000, says the Empire-minded newspaper. This amount should be shared by Britain and Common- wealth governments. particularly Australia and New Zeaiand. who have staked extensive shares in Antarctica.

But South Alrica and Canada. The Mail says. should perhaps join in backing the expedition.

It seemed to him that never in all his life had he been so tired. It seemed to him that he just couldn't keep going; that if he did his wings would drop bit. But he did keep going. and at last he saw ahead of him a long, smooth, white ribbon. It was the Big River, frozen over and covered with snow. He felt a little better then. It gave him a little courage. Somewhere. far a- head, he felt sure was that open water. He was right over the Big River now. All he had to do was follow it. There was no ohance now of his getting lost.

Presently, far ahead. he saw what looked like a black line crossing the white ribbon of the Big River( He knew what it was. It was the open water. It he could reach that all would be well. But could he? Would those tired wings carry him that far?

thing to see. When Dipper dives there is no knowing where he will "pop out of" water again. And he can dive so quickly that he is under water at the flash of a gun before the shot can reach him. Sometimes he swims with only his head out of water. Sometimes. ins small pond, he dives close to share on one side and doesn't come up again until he is among the rushes on the other side. Farmer Brown's Boy never will forget how he once mistook Dipper for a baby Duck and thought he could catch him with a boat. Dipper seemed to enjoy what followed. He seemed to think it was a sort of game. Farm- er Brown's Boy couldn't even make Dipper take to his wings.
