UNCLE RAYS CORNER-A Visit in Ireland

IRELAND is called the Emerald
Isle" and the reason began to
grow plain to me when I caught my
'hrst glimpse of the shore after crossing
the Irish Sea. Covered with green
grass. trees and shrubs, Ireland is like
q great emerald set in the sea.
One of the questions I asked soon
after landing was addressed to the
driver OF "jaunting car on which
was riding through the streets of
Waterford
Have you ever seen snake in Ire
1And?" I inquired. Never" he re-
piled, except at q circus!"
Other Irishmen have assured me
that their land is completely free of
snakes. The legend is that ST. Patrick
drove all reptiles out $500 years ago.
but that is only legend. The true
reason for the absence of reptiles is
doubtless that the climate is not suited
to the needs of snakes and lizards.
On the way from Cork to Killarney
noticed many peat fields Peat may
Be called ''underdone coal" If left
where it is, it would turn into coal in
the course of thousands of years. The
Irish dig it up, cutting it in cubes.
After the cubes are dried in the sun
they are ready to be used for fuel.
Close to the top of mountain near
Killarney is pool known as the
Devils Punch Bowl"

Have reached Australia safely. Please
send me my clothes
That playful Irish story was meant
to show that the lake was so deep that
it had no bottom-the water resting
in a hole which passed clear through
the earth to Australia!
Other strange stories are told by
guides around Killarney. One tale
tells of a giant potato planted in Ire
land by Sir Walter Raleigh, which
took several days to peel and two
weeks to cook.
The so-called Irish potato" Is not
= native of Ireland. History speaks
Of 1t as having first been found grow
ing on the American continent. It
seems to have received its name from
the fact that it grows very well In
Irish soil.

Winning Contract
BY THE FOUR ACES.
Void Suits.

A void suit is usually distinct ad-
vantage, since the opponents high
cards in that suit will be rendered
useless. However, when it happens
that partner holds top tricks in this
suit, the void may become drawback.
Thus, when blank in a suit it is always
well to bear in mind that partners
strength may be concentrated in that
suit, hence causing a duplication Of
values.
We believe that North should have
realized the grave danger that South
might be unable to use his top spades.
As for South's bidding, he might we'll
have doubled his opponents rash
three-heart bid. A sure 700-point
penalty would have been accumulated,
but South cannot be blamed for think
ing that the rubber game and possible
slam were more desirable. There was
lust a chance to make his slam con-
tract and South decided that the
gamble was well worth while.
South, dealer.

Vests heart to be singleton, as was
the case. 1t was up to him to find
some way Of taking care of his losing
heart and losing club. After brief
study he saw this could be accom-
plished only if (a) West held but one
trump, (b) West held the king and
one trump. Accordingly, he laid down
the ace of diamonds and followed with
the ace of hearts West trumped with
his diamond king and led a club, but
1t was too late Declarer won with the

with dummy's remaining diamond, dis
carded his losing club on the ace Of

Reply to Query
Ion Bronx Louds
IN. Y. Official

A two-paragraph Christmas trib-
ute from one New York official to
another was contained in a letter
sent Mrs. George j. Morrison, 1872
Park road NV, in reply to her
question whether The Bronx is part
of New York City.
Mrs. Morrison wrote New York
City government in behalf of a
friend, according to Bronx Borough
President James K. Lyons, who used
six paragraphs of his reply to extol
the glories of The Bronx, which
happens to be part of New York
City, and then closed with tribute
to Deputy Mayor Henry H. Curran
of Gotham.
Of Mr.. Curry Mr.. Lyons wrote:
by the way, has your Washing
ton friend ever heard about the
famous Curran University, which
has as its dean the deputy mayor of
our city?
IF she has any serious problems
such as the one in controversy here,
1 suggest that she contact the
deputy mayor, as the curriculum
embraces every conceivable subject
from pure English, burglar alarms,
noises, dog Fairgrounds, humor, bald
heads, art, and even cockroaches."
The borough president expressed
the hope Mrs. Morrison would some
day be able to return to her native
Bronx"

On the other side of the ledger
