UNCLE RAYS CORNER

One of the odd things I have
seen in my travels is an old-time
bedroom in Norway. Over the bed
was rope, and the guide said:
THAT rope was used by the person
who slept in the bed. In early
morning, when he was tired and
drowsy, he would reach for the
rope, and pull himself up"
More than once in my life, have
felt the need of such rope. In the
early morning. we may say to our
selves. Just a minute more with
eyes closed but before we know it
the minute has stretched into a
half hour, or even an hour. Some
folks call that the beauty Sleep"
1t may be good thing if it doesn't
make us late for school or for work.
In the Stone Age, people no
doubt slept on leaves or moss. or on
the hides of slain animals. Later

Egypt was pioneer country in
many ways, and perhaps the first
wooden beds were made there five
or six thousand years ago. Eight
beds from King Tut's tomb are to
be seen today in Cairo.
King Tut lived about $500 years
ago, and in his day the Egyptians
knew how to make fine looking
beds. The framework of one of
those in the museum is of ebony.
Another is of wood covered with

In the New Testament, Jesus says,

From time to time, people in Pal

place to place.

wealthy had blankets on which to
rest. Later the Greeks learned to
make mattresses stuffed with wool
or feathers, and sometimes a mat
tress was laid on a bed with a wood
en- framework.
Relics found in Pompeii give us
a clear idea of the beds used by some
Of the ancient Romans. These beds
date back close to 1900 years. The
framework of one of them is 7l5
feet long, 4 feet wide and II inches
high.
Walnut wood was employed for
the framework of some Roman beds.
Others were made partly or entirely
of bronze. The Romans had pillows
as well as mattresses, blankets and
sheets. Some of the pillows were
stuffed with down taken from
swans or geese.

west made the proper opening of
the club queen. South Immediately
saw that if spades and hearts broke,
he could discard dummy's losing club
on his 18th heart Three rounds of
! trumps were drawn. followed by the
three top hearts. Declarer could
now trump his losing heart in dunn
my and take diamond finesse, but
ne decided to postpone this play,
meanwhile giving West a chance to
err. The ace of clubs was cashed
and a third club played West being
thrown on lead. West, an unimagi-
native player. didn't even consider
playing his 18th club. as he knew full
we'll that declarer could ruff in dunn
my and discard from his own hand.
Instead, he led diamond away from
his king, which of course, gave de-
clarer his contract.
A thinking player in Vests posi-
ton would have reasoned as follows:
Declarer had shown four spades,
three hearts and three clubs. If the
remaining three cards were dia-
monds. being able to discard one
diamond would not be sufficient help
since there would still be one loser
remaining. Now suppose that South
held another heart and only two
diamonds (as was the case). If this
remaining heart were high, wouldn't
declarer have used it to discard the
losing club from dummy? Obvi-
ously, therefore, if South held an
other heart, it must be loser. And,
since there was only one trump left
in dummy, South couldn't very well
use this trump to ruff both a club
and heart. Thus the ruff and dis
card was the winning play.
