of the super experts fare without! using any slam convention. For many years now practically all bridge players the world over have used the Blackwood slam! convention. But there are still a

dain to use a conventional bid of any kind for reaching ‘slams. I suppose they figure their special abilities enable them to know about partner's aces without asking him. To these great men of bridge there is something sissified in finding out about partner's aces by means of an artificial bidding device,

Some Top Examples Of Master-Minding

In my collection of bridge hands there are some wonderful examples of this kind of masterminding. In one of them a contract of seven no trumps was reached and the opponents promptly won twa tricks with the ace and king of diamonds. In another an expert player made a gorgeous play for down two at a contract of six spades. The opponents, between them held KJ 873 2 of dpades and the A Q J of clubs. The hand shown in today’s eol umn is a particularly horrible ex] ample. I chose it because it was bid to seven hearts minus the trump ace—not by one but by eight pairs who disdained the use of any slam convention. Of course not all pairs bid the hand the same way. I have given the bidding used by two of the most

players. What about you? Would you have bid seven hearts on this hand—off the trump ace? You wouldn't? Well, then, this should make you feel pretty good.

By JANE STAFFORD Science Service Staff Writer THE BABY who sucks his thumb is a baby in need, So is the older child who thumbsucks, though his need is a little different. The young baby starts sucking his thumb mainly because he has not had enough sucking at the breast or bottle to satisfy his sucking instinct. Dr. David Levy, a New York child psychiatrist, fed a litter of puppies with a medicine dropper, so that they had no chance to suck during their feeding time. They acted just like babies who do not get a chance to suck enough at their feedings. The puppies sucked their paws and skins, so hard that the fur came 1x.

the process of growing up gets}

too much for them, they may retreat to early infancy and suck, Dr. Benjamin Spock points out in his helpful book, “Baby and Child Care.” You often see a two-or-three-year-old sucking his thumb while he watches older children playing. He wants to play with them, but their game is a little too grown-up and he cannot. So he sucks to comfort himself. If babies suck thumbs because of some need, the way to stop it would seem to be to fill that need.
