West opened the queen of clubs.
Winning with the ace, declarer
played the king Of trumps and now
decided that it WAS necessary to
draw three more rounds. He first
discarded his club on dummys two
top hearts, then played the queen
OF spades and next three more
trumps. Declarer now hopefully
played spades, confidently expecting
that the suit would be divided 4-3.
When that failed. he was set.
What simple hand to make!
After discovering the bad trump
break, the queen of spades should
be cashed, then the nine of dia-
monds led from dummy. 1t wouldn I,
do East any good to cover. and the
nine would hold the trick. The
two top hearts should now be played
from dummy, and next 4 club ruffed
in declarer's hand. A small spade
should now be played and trumped
with dummy's queen of diamonds.
Following this trumps can now be
safely drawn, and If the spade suit
were divided. q grand slam would be
made. However, since spades as
we'll As trumps were, badly dis
tributed, declarer would finally have
to concede spade trick. Declarer
could have made his slam in perfect
safety In spite of bad breaks.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

OF all the queens in the history
Of Egypt the most famous is Cleo
patra, She lived 1000 years ago, but
the memory of her charm is still
fresh.
At the age of II Cleopatra became
the Egyptian Queen. BY the terms
Of her fathers will she was to share
power over the kingdom with a
younger brother. This plan prob
ably would have worked if it had
not been for plotting men in the
palace. Favoring the young prince,
they took away Cleopatra's power
and forced her into exile.
How long Cleopatra would have
stayed in exile there is no way of
telling-if it had not been for a Ger
tain event. A famous Roman gen.
eral, Julius Caesar. came to Egypt
with an armed force.
Cleopatra heard of the event and
decided to visit Caesar and ask him
to help her get back the power her
father had wanted her to have.
Fearing her brothers soldiers would
capture her before she could reach
the palace where Caesar was stav-
Ing at Alexandria, she went to him
In disguise.
Legend says the 22-year.old
queen was wrapped up in a rug or
blanket and carried into the palace
on the shoulders of servant. Her
servant made believe he had a load

cleopatra and Caesar

music OF her voice and the sparkle
In her eyes. Soon he became her
champion and promised he would
see that she obtained her rightful
place again.
Caesar was at that time 50 years
of age. Starting as an officer in the
Roman Army, he had risen to the
highest place He was not called an
emperor, but he had become the die
tatoT over all the lands in the Ro-
man empire.
The brother of Cleopatra, or at
least the men who had the brother
In their charge, heard Of the plan
to return share of power to the
Queen. Before long q battle was
fought over the question, and
Caesars soldiers won.
Cleopatra seems to have greatly
admired the powerful Roman. When
he invited her to visit Rome, she
gladly accepted. To honor her,
Caesar ordered q statue made In her
likeness and had it placed side by
side with 4 statue OF the Goddess
Venus.

Sheriff of Lincoln County, Mon

Imperial Valley press., 1938-10-23
ON WHICH ROAD
LIES THE GOAL?

The conflict between economic and
political power must stop if political
democracy is to survive, declared Cabi-
net Officer Harold l.. Ickes in a speech
before the Commonwealth Club at San
Francisco Friday.
We agree heartily.
We disagree just as heartily however,
with Mr.. Ickes' assumption that it must
stop by a process in which business will
cease to oppose the present federal ad-
ministration, but in which the admins
tration would make no concessions.
Parenthetically, may we say that we
regard the Ickes who spoke at San Fran
cisco as an entirely different person
age than the Ickes who spoke at Braw-
ley and Imperial dam this week. The
one we think of as man high in the
councils Of the New Deal, the other as
our secretary of the interior, an able
executive doing good job in highly i'm
portant government position.
Mr. Ickes in San Francisco declared
that the New Deals Public Enemy No.
l is "private economic power"
Economic power must be either private
or governmental. And Mr.. Ickes himself,
in the same speech, declared that assump-
tion by the state of all economic power
is Communism. His phrases were not
that close together, and we doubt that
the connection entered his mind. Never
theless it exists.
Mr.. Ickes is in error we believe, IN
his assumption that one of two things
must happen: the state must assume all
economic power, or private economic
power must completely control the state.
1t is our belief that the very essence
of democracy is found in the ability of
economic power and government to re-
main divorced from one another.
