Lots of stomata on the leaves open in the day to let air in and close at night. An apple-tree leaf may have as many as 47,000 stomata per square inch and on an oak tree leaf there will be more than per square inch. When the stomata of a leaf are open, water evaporates from the surface on the spongy leaf cells and escapes through the pores into the air. Water lost from the leaf is replaced by more water from the roots. The movement of water through a leaf, called transpiration, helps to keep a stream of sap flowing through the plant.

water and carbon dioxide. Most leaves work best in bright light although the dim light of shady places is best for others, such as pine trees. Water and air are important raw materials for the leaf's food-making job. Water absorbed by the roots of the tree or plant moves into the leaf after traveling up the stem and branch. Air enters the leaf through pores called stomata.

Light provides the power for a leaf's food-making job. Light strikes the top of the leaf and then filters through the upper cells to those below. Air, in the form of carbon dioxide, is most important a plant can vary from a single leaf to more than a million leaves. They come in all sizes and almost every possible shape. A banana leaf can grow up to 10 feet in length, but that isn't the record-holder.

A relative of the banana in Madagascar, called the traveler's tree, has leaves 20 feet long. And a kind of South American palm tree has leaves more than 26 feet long. But topping them all is a type of African raffia palm with leaves up to SO feet long. When light and a green substance called chlorophyll are present, a leaf will make food by building sugars from Andy sends a World Book Year Book to Teresa Foley, 11, of St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada, for ber question: WHAT ARE LEAVES? Almost all leaves have one basic job: to produce food for the plant to which they are attached.

Each leaf is much like a factory as it makes food out of carbon dioxide, light and water. As a leaf makes food, it is stored in the plant's stems, roots, fruit and seeds. The food provides energy for the seeds to sprout, for the flowers to bloom and for the fruits to form. Without this food from the leaves, plants could not live. The number of leaves on Goren on Bridge By Charles II.

Goren and Omar Sharif Because Eisenberg had unblocked at trick three, East was able to win the ten and cash his remaining club. Then, at trick thirteen, he led a spade to his partner's king to defeat the contract one trick. Had Eisenberg failed to unblock, he would eventually have been end played and forced to lead away from his king of spades, thus giving declarer his contract. The variations are interesting, and you might like to try them for yourself. Eisenberg followed with the jack! Watch the effect of this farsighted play.

Dummy's queen of hearts won, and the jack of diamonds was run. A diamond to the ace cleared the suit, and declarer exited with the king of hearts. West won the ace and continued the nine of clubs, which was allowed to hold. Another club went to declarer's ace. A spade to the ace put declarer in dutiimy to cash the thirteenth diamond.

Now a heart was led off the table. Both vulnerable. South deals.

At each world championship, the Dutch firm of Lucas BoLs, makers of fine liqueurs, presents a prize for the most brilliant play or defense of the tournament.

We feel that this effort by world team champion Billy Eisenberg of Los Angeles will be a top contender for the award. "Second hand low" is an old bridge adage. However, experienced players know that sometimes it is right for second hand to play high. On this deal, Eisenberg showed that "second hand middle" was the only way to defeat the contract. After a Stay man sequence, North-South arrived at a normal three no trump contract.

Since his long suit had been bid at his right, Eisenberg selected the safe lead of the ten of clubs. There were several ways for declarer to make his contract as the cards lay, but we will simply report the play as it went. Declarer won the club in dummy and led a diamond to the queen. When this held, he shifted to a low heart. CROSSWORD PUZZLE WHAT'S NW 4 5'IPF Hf TODAV C0M6RATUUATI0N5 F' TR if 15 MV -YOU PtfN'f LOOK CAPTAIVS I'VE" VHOW SORRY.
