A Slam Try
One of the unfortunate miscon
ceptions shared by most players Is
that any jump to game Is a com
mand to stop bidding. There are
one or two situations in which you
jump to game in a suit to shut the
enemy out rather than show great
strength, and then you want your
partner to refrain from further bid
ding unless he has a real whale of
a hand. But in most cases, the
jump indicates a strong hand and
invites partner to continue.
Consider today's hand, for ex
ample :
North dealer.
Both sides vulnerable.

South easily mRrie 13 tricks and
regretted only that he had stopped
at a small slam, but we venture to
say that most players would have
stopped at game. For most players
would have misunderstood North’s
jump to four spades as a command
to stop bidding.
But how illogical that would be!
Each opponent has had a chance to
bid. and each has passed; hence
what advantage would there be in
shutting them out of further bid
ding? Furthermore, remember that
If North bids only three spades, he
risks a pass by South. Such a jump
is not a forcing bid; it is only high
ly invitational, unlike the jump
raise of an opening bid.
In this case. North could see a
good play for game even if South
had only four or five spades to the
queen. Therefore, he took no
chance of missing a game, but bid
four spades at once. And South,
with considerably more than his
spade strength, properly explored
slam possibilities, jumping right to
slam the moment he discovered that
diamonds were not wide open.

Names in the News
POPOCATEPETL, isn't exactly a
name in the news. but. it is a name
that is garbled in a popular song.
Popocatepetl is a large, dormant
volcano near Mexico City. The
name is from the Aztec popoca. "to
smoke." and tepetl. "mountain."
Mexicans generally use the affec
tionate diminutive "Popo." but no
Mexican would pronounce the name
as it is heard in the song, thus:
POE-puh-KAT-uh-PET-ul."
It is to be regretted that, before
the song was released, the correct ,
pronunciation of the name was not 1
ascertained, for the rhythm of the
song is such that it is impossible for

UNCLE RAY'S CORNER
—Egyptians Said Phoenix Rose From Own Ashes
Hand-written books of the Mid
dle Ages often contain queer pic
tures. One such picture was found
In the university library at Cam
bridge. England. It shows a ‘‘phoe
nix." and the bird is supposed to
be "burning itself in its nest of
spices.”
The name "phoenix” is pro
nounced “FEE-nicks.” There never
was a real bird such as the one I
shall describe, but people of Egypt
used to believe there was.
Here is a story of the phoenix
as it might have been told to you
if you had lived in ancient Egypt:
"The phoenix is a holy bird with
red and gold feathers. It makes
its home in Arabia but comes to
Egypt once every 500 years. #
"Being 500 years of age. it is old
and rpadv to die. So it makes a nest
of sweet-smelling myrrh and gets
inside. Then it flaps its golden
wings and sets the nest afire.
"The holy bird burns up, but from
the ashes comes a new life, a new
phoenix! This bird sings a beau
tiful song to greet the rising sun.
Then it flies away to Arabia and
Stays away for 500 years.”
That is one form of the story.
As the years passed, there were
changes in certain parts of the tale.
For pxample. some storytellers said
The PHOENIX BURNING ITSELF
/•V rs NEST OF SPICES
I The
NIGHT
HERON
The
LAPWING
/ 26
f»Pi
The picture at the top was made
bp an artist who lived 900 years
ago.
“the young phoenix wrapped the old
one in a ball of myrrh and took
the ball to the .Jemple of the Sun.”
There were Egyptians who said
the phoenix lived only 250 years.
Others declared it had a life lasting
1,000 years or more. All agreed,
however, that the bird had a very
long life.
i ii" siury piayea a pari in me
religion of the Egyptians. Certain
priests said the phoenix was really
the sun god Ra. in the shape of a
bird.
“The phoenix.” they added, “is a
proof that human beings live after
dpath. When the bird is burned up.
it does not really die. New life
comes from the ashes.”
The legend of the phoenix has
been carried through the centuries.
Now we look on it as only a strange
tale.
Efforts have been made to figure | -
out what kind of a bird was in the _
mind of the Egyptian who first told i
the story. The lapwing and the I
night heron have been suggested, i
but it is more likely that the long- 1
lived eagle was the “original” of the
phoenix.
