“The Authority on Authorities?*
THE SINGLETON HABIT
WREN THE bidding has given
no clear clue to the side suits in
the declarer’s and dummy’s hands,
a singleton is a pretty risky lead.
Isn't that suit more likely to be
declarers side length than any
other suit in which you hold more
cards? Os course, if you have the
ace and another trump, or the king
and a couple of others, you may
later be able to stop the trump run
and then throw your partner in
the lead for a ruff Cut otherwise,
you may be taking an unsound
chance with your singleton.

The opening bid on this deal was
made by West. His 1-Spade bid
’'as overcalled by North with a
■double. East put in a 2-Spade call
which West took to 4-Spades.
North ventured 5-Diamonds, which
East doubled.
East was in the lead and made
Doctor Studies Vision

LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.
A BABY that li-3 in its crib and
rolls its wise-looking little eyes
hoin side to side, appears to be
observing this new-found world,
out it distinguishes at first nothing
JUt ''girt and darkness. Later, ob
loots, and only after some time,

the mistake of opening his single
ton club. Declarer covered with
the 10, West with the K and North
won with the A. To North’s sur
prise, the outstanding trumps
dropped in two rounds. He had
surely expected from the double
that East held a trump trick.
The diamond 3 was then led tc
dummy’s 6 and followed by the
club 5. When West did not cover.
North played the 8 and then laid
down the club Q, which dropped
West’s J. The club 4 to the 7 was
the next play, and on the club C
the heart 8 was discarded. In
stead of being set, East’s defense
allowed North to make one over
trick, doubled.

position, have good vision. Those
tested included garter snakes, king
snakes, ribbon snakes, and rattle
snakes. Their vision is poorest
just before shedding their skins
and best just after shedding, be
cause the snake’s cornea grows
opaque as shedding time nears and
is sloughed off with the skin.
Turtles, woodchucks, guinea-pigs,
rabbits, and gophers have good
eyesight. Cats and birds see best
of all.
Guinea-pigs and dogs vary
greatly from one individual to
another. Monkeys could not be
tested because they kept peering
curiously over the cylinder’s top.
Wild rabbits see better than tame
rabbits; normally pigmented crea
tures see better than albinos.
We will be anticipating Dr.
Warkentin’s report of his work on
the vision of human infants.
QUESTIONS FROM READERS
P. G.: “Do you think one can
take too many magnesia tablets or
too many charcoal tablets? I take
them for gas around the heart and
indigestion, sometimes as many
as six of each a day. They help
me, but do they do any harm?”
Answer: Neither magnesia nor
charcoal does any harm even if
taken over long periods of time.
