DESERT CHUCKWALLA
(Sauromalus ater).
Next to the Gila Monster, the
Chuckwalla is the largest lizard of
our Southwestern deserts. He is
one of the true lizards of the United
States and giant ones of today
reach a length of 2 feet and weigh
over a pound and a half.
They are fascinating in their ugli
ness. Heavily built, with thick tails,
loose, wrinkled, scaly skins, narrow
hoards and broad bellies. Usually
they are a plain brown or black.
The younger generation llfcve red
dish sides and tails with four or
five broad, dusky bands around the
tail.
Wherever it is hottest, there you
may look lor contented chucks.
They seem to take squatter's rights
to certain rocks. On the sands of
Western Arizona, Southern Nevada
and Utah, Southeastern California
and Western Mexico and in the
Colorado Desert the Chuckwalla
Mountains were named for them.
But they never select a homesite
without rocks.
At first sight these sun worship- j
ers look fierce. ^Actually they are
timid, harmless and defenseless.
Their short teeth are useful for
chewing. Even when teased and
handled roughly, all they do to re
taliate is to switch their short, heavy
tail. This is only a gesture. They
possess no venom and really not a
spark of fight. They wisely select
a rock with a wide crack where they
may drftp in and puff out their
tummies so no animal can get in
after them. Neither can any one
extract them.
They have enemies, for they are
good to eat. Prowling coyotes, cun
ning foxes, cruising eagles and
hawks and desert-dwelling Indians.
Their flesh is white and tender. The
chuckwalla lives mostly on flowers,
green leaves and tender buds. The
lizard snips off blossom heads of
all kinds, fills in with leaves from
plants and is a true vegetarian.
Chuckwalla mothers pay no at
tention to their young. They lay
from 6 to 12 eggs. All are gentle
and easily handled. They make in
teresting pets and prosper if fed
on flowers and kept very warm.
Imperial Valley, Colorado River
Valley and Death Valley—the hot
test and lowest deserts are the cen
ter of chuckwalla abundance.

The bidding:

Pass Pass 1 S’ Dbl.
Pass 1 A Pass 1 NT
Pass 2 NT Pass 3 NT
Pass Pass Pass
Opening lead: Nine of hearts.
While the location of certain key
cards may be inferred from oppos
ing bids and while declarer’s plan
of attack should not be formed with
out giving full consideration to the
auction, nevertheless if a hand can
be made regardless of the location
of particular cards declarer should
guard himself against surprises due
to adverse errors of bidding, or de
liberate attempts to deceive.
The bidding in all respects but
one meets with our approval. That
one respect is East’s third-hand bid.
An opening on a hand such as East 's
is carrying the light third-hand
opening to extremes. Those who
feel the irresistible urge to bid in
third position ought not to stretch
by more than half a trick.
Against the three no-trump con
tract West opened the nine of hearts.
The declarer played low from
dummy, East quite properly per
mitted the nine to ride, driving out
declarer’s king. The deuce of dia
monds was then returned and West
lost no time in climbing up with
the ace and the heart continuation
netted the defense four more tricks.
South was horror-stricken. "What
r„ight had West to have the ace of
diamonds when East was presum
ably marked with the card by his
bid?” North was sympathetic and
East displayed the smile of one who
has swallowed a canary.
The truth of the matter is that
South had been guilty of an
eggregious error in the play to the
first trick. By the mere play of
the queen of hearts at trick one the
defense would have been rendered
helpless, regardless of the locaion
j of the ace of diamonds. If East does
not win the trick declarer will have
another stopper in the suit. If East,
does take the trick, as he must, he
will be unable to continue hearts
because the 10 W’ould become a win
ner. Naturally the lead of the nine
shows that East has the jack,
j Declarer, of course, had been
lulled into a false sense of safety
1 by needlessly taking it for granted
that East held the ace of diamonds.
It may not be a vice to trust your
opponents a little but it really pays
to keep your powder dry.

Take My Word for It
Bv FRANK COLBY.
It’s Hard to Believe.
Q. I could hardly believe my
eyes when I looked up the word
| "baton.” My dictionary gives as
! first choice the pronunciation ' BAT
un'’! That I will not say.—D. B.
A. Baton is a French loan-word
that has long been kicked around
by the dictionaries, both British and
American.
To begin with, the French spell
the word baton with a circumflex
accent mark (an inverted v) over
the "a,” which gives it the “ah”
sound. The “o” is nasalized, thus:
bah-TAW(N).
The French nasal vowels are not
, retained in the American pronun
I ciation. The prevailing American
pronunciation of baton, then, is
either buh-TON, or ba-TON with
the ‘’a’’ as flat as in "bat,” and
"ton" rhyming with "con, don.” An
almost-French pronunciation, “‘ba
TAW(N>”—flat "a"—is heard oc
casionally on the air, but it is a
conscious affection.
Despite the fact that ba-TON (or
buh-TON) is the standard American
pronunciation, you’ll not find it in
Merriam Webster’s, Funk and Wag
nails’, Macmillan’s, Winston’s or the
New Century. These list the
F’renchified "ba-TAW(N)” and the
British "BAT-un.”
Why it is listed at all is as baffling
as the dictionaries’ fondness for
those other un-American curios,
"SHIF-on” for "chiffon,” and "ree
VAIL-yi” for the bugle call reveille.
Correct American is: ba-ton or
buh-ton. If you want to appear
"long-haired.” say: ba-TAW(N).
But don’t go around saying "BAT
un.” * .
