Little Too-Smart, son or Roddy Fox. was a prisoner 01' his own fear. He thought that to get ashore he would have to swim. and he was afraid. Yes, sir, he was afraid of the water. How did he happen to be out there on that bis; fiat stone? He had tumbled clown a swap bank into the brook hi;-,hcr up. and the current huti nrought him down. He had scramb- led out on that big stone. and then been afraid to try to get I- lla Tablets or (capsules in Dissolvo Sarnak is imincdi.it9iy rcatly to bring snntiun: relief in Rhrunrntic.

Over on the shore, Bus- ter Bear stood swinging his head .trom side to side, and grumbling way down in his throat. Swinging . Jhls hcad that way is a habit of Busters. He was undecided what to do next. Shotild he go up the brook, down the brook. or across 'the brook? He couldn't make up his mind. I Little Too-Sniart had been stand- 'lniz perfectly still.

Fran- tically he jumped out into the wa-t Vter toward the other shore. He expected to have to paddle with at his might as he had had to when he tumblcd into the water. Per- haps you can guess how surprised he was when he lound he didn't have to paddle at all: that the iwatcr was only half way up his iiens. He could wade across. Hcl icould almost run. 1 Splash. splash, splash! Little 1'I'oo-Smart didn't have to look back to know what that meant. ilrie did some splashing himself.

WHAT KIN FREE-save AT The WHITEHOUSE AWPOUP AT TPIE-r"”"”””T' WIVOM MAN Pass Pass Pan West opened his singleton heart, and declarcr took East's ten with the ace. Prospects did not look to dec- larer. Dummy's only strength was unreachable because of South's void, and the opponents would scarcely be so accommodating as to lead clubs. Thus, it seemed all too likely that South would come out with four losers - three heart: and the spade ace. There was no point in returning a heart immed- iately; even if East did not lead I trump, dummy's lone trump was too low for a rufter. Probably hoping against hope. South laid down the spade king. West won and exited with the jack oi diamonds. Declarer won. drew the outstanding trumps and cashed his other diamonds, but all in vain. Naturally, East did not discard any high hearts, and so cleclarcr finally had to surren- der . Now to get back to the arithme- tic mentioned originally. Barring not-to-be expected help from the enemy. South could count. that he would end up a trick short 0! his contract, with only five spades. one heart and three diamonds. So he should have tried a diilerent approach. West was marked with a singleton heart, so South should have led only three high trumps, cashed all three diamond honors. and then made West a present of a second trump trick by throwing him in with the deuce of trumps! By giving up this second trump trick in hearts, and end up with an overtrick' VAST IRRIGATION It has been estimated that ir- rigation serves more than seven per cent oi the total area of the earth's surface under cultivation.
