"SURE. IT S LAST YEAR'S CALENDAR. . . . WE HAD SUCH A GOOD
YEAR, WE’RE USING IT AGAIN.”

"LOOK AT THIS ELECTRIC BILL! NOW YOU’LL JUST HAVE TO
•TOP BURNING THE TOAST!”
PVERY inch a man wm Chief Nam
puh. Shoshone Indian, after whom
Nampa. Idaho, was named. Standing
8 feet 8'* inches tall. Chief Nampuh
I topped the scales at 300 pounds.
Yet Nampuh's greatest glory lay in
his feet. His name means "big foot,''
and. strang as it seems, his feet meas
ured no less than 17>* inches in length
and were 6 inches wide, according to
Prof. Brosnan of the American History
Department, University of Idaho.
So fast afoot was he that 80 miles
a day was not difficult. He usually
traveled on foot; his tribe following on
horseback Horse stealing, thievery
and murder figured among his crimes.
Consequently, white settlers of Idaho
were out to get him.
Nampuh's capture was deemed nec
essary to the successful and peaceful
growth of the West. Early settlers of
Fort Boise pasted a reward of *1,000
for any one who would bring back
Nampuh's scalp)—and feet!
Nampuh finally was captured and
killed by a highwayman named John
W. Wheeler, in July, 1868. In 70
years no one has disputed Nampuh's1
claim to immortality—his big feet.
Winning Contract

Unusual Strip Play.
J)AVID BURNSTINE Is noted for
his extremely careful play. On
this hand he sat South and held only
a queen and a jack. When his partner
put him Into a slam contract, It was
only by very fine dummy play that he
was able to make the hand.

West. North. East. South.

Pass 6 ♦, Pass Pass:
Pass
After West's pre-emptive bid of i
four hearts, North made the conven
tional bid of four no-trump, a re
quest for Mr. Burnstine to bid his best
suit. Mr. Burnstine afterward con
fessed that he was tempted to pass
his partner’s bid because of his ex
tremely poor hand. He mustered his
courage, however, and responded with
five diamonds. To his chagrin, his
partner promptly bid six diamonds,
which was passed all around.
West opened the king of hearts,
which Mr. Burnstine trumped with
dummy’s queen of diamonds. Mr.
Burnstine then led a trump to his
jack, and ruffed a second heart with
dummy's king of diamonds. Return
ing to his hand with the ten of dia
monds. he now trumped his last heart.
He next cashed his three club tricks
and then led a small spade toward
dummy's ace. West played the king
and Mr. Burnstine was now faced with
the problem of determining whether
West originally held the blank king
or blank king-queen of spades. How
ever, West’s four-heart bid seemed to
indicate a seven-card suit. and. there
fore, a singleton spade. Mr. Burnstein,
therefore, let West hold the trick with
the king of spades, and West was com
pelled to lead a heart, which Mr.
Burnstine ruffed in his hand while
discarding a spade from dummy. The
slam was thus made.
It is interesting to note that only
an opening lead of the king of spades
by' West would have defeated the
slam contract. Also. East should have
made a sacrifice bid of six hearts and
taken a small penalty.
