UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Several men stand out in China, S
history as great teachers, but the
greatest Of them all was Confucius.
His life and work did much to shape
the history of his country.
The name "Confucius" seems
rather odd for Chinaman. It grew
out Of the Chinese name 'Kung Fu."
Today in China there is a great
Cemetery Of the Kung family. Thou
sands Of men and women have been
buried there, and all are supposed
to be related In one way or another
to Confucius. The great teachers
grave is there; his remains rest in a
tomb covered by q mound of earth.
= Confucius lived about 500 years
before the birth of Christ. He was
not q king, but during some years
OF his long life he was public
officer, and did what he could to
make people see that it was mis-
take to commit crimes.
Most of his life, however, was
spent in study, travel and preach
ing. He had hundreds of disciples
who followed him from place to
place to listen to his words. Here
are few Of the things he taught:
If we know enough, we will lead
good lives. When we find out what
is wrong, and the trouble we might
do with wrongful deeds, we will
not do them"

-Chinu's Greatest Teacher

If we start something, and find
1t is a mistake, we must stop it.
II a person sees the right, and does
not follow 1t, he is coward"
Confucius also taught a form of
the golden rule. The meaning of his
words Is given like this, do not do
unto others what you would not
have them do unto YOU"
Confucius said he was not sure
OF life after death. 1.-THE impor-
tant thing" he declared, "is to make
sure that this life is lived TN the
right way"
When their master died at the age
OF u, the disciples of Confucius were
filled with sorrow. Some of them
built huts near his grave and lived
there for three years. One disciple
is famed because he stayed after
the rest had left; he spent a total
OF six years near the grave.
Confucius had a little honor dur
ing his life, and great deal after his
death. A religion of sort was made
up out of his teachings. Today there
are about 100000 persons In
China who are classed as followers
Of Confucius."

STRANGE AS 1T SEEMS

We believe most players will agree
that there is no more helpless and
annoying feeling than to find oneself
gradually becoming enmeshed in
the tolls Of a squeeze from which
there Is no escape. And if our
partner has had the opportunity
to relieve the pressure and failed
to take advantage of it, our feelings
toward him would hardly be kindly.
Against the six-club contract West
opened a small diamond. When
dummy's 10 forced East's ace, de-
clarer trumped. Two rounds of
trumps were drawn and next de-
carer led spade. When dummy's S
queen was played, East won with
the ace and with no perceptible
hesitation returned diamond.
From then on West could not es-
cape the squeeze. Declarer played
four rounds of hearts, trumping the
last In dummy, ruffed a diamond,
then ran off his remaining trumps.
In order to retain the diamond king,
West had to give up his 10 of spades
Thus on the 18th trick the spade
Jack fell and dummy's loWly eight
Of spades won the final trick.
In this instance the squeeze on
-poor West could and should have
been avoided If East had had the
foresight to return spade, thereby

-AirpIune Runwuys

Santos -Dumont, knew nothing about
them when he made trials with his
own airplane in France. His ma
chine was fitted with bicycle wheels
instead of the skids which were used
by the Wrights.
Stntos- -Dumont turned on the
motor which drove the propeller,
and travelled fast over the ground
He was able to rise in the air, and
made a flight Of 200 feet.
Huge airliners Of the present day
have little trouble in rising from
the ground. They have large, level
fields on which they can run and
gather speed.
There are times, however, when
certain kinds Of planes need cata-
pults. These are devices which fling
an airplane into the air, where its
motors and propellers can keep it
aloft. They have been employed
to launch heavily-loaded bombing
planes.
Another, and more common, use
is for launching planes from the
decks of ocean vessels. A vessel does
not have enough deck space for
much of q run, and that Is why
catapults are used for this purpose.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

The takeoff of an airplane is big
problem To make it rise from the
ground. there must be lifting power
Of some kind
The usual method is for an air
plane to speed over the ground until
there is enough lift on the wings.
The lift is gained mostly by
vacuum which forms in the air
because of the angle at which the
wings strike it, Tests have shown
that the forward edge of a wing
should be thicker than the rear edge,
If the best vacuum is to be obtained.
A slight curving of the wings helps
to give lifting power.
Speed of motion is needed for a
plane to rise. That was one of the
hard problems in early days of man
carrying machines.
In their secret trials at Kitty
Hawk, N. c., the Wright brothers
had no way of rising from the
ground under their own power. On
q December day in 1908, Wilbur
Wright got into the air for IL
second flight, but he did it with the
help of runway.
Placing their plane on a cart at
the top of the runway, the brothers
made ready for the test. With the
motor started, the machine ran
down the track. In this way it
gained speed, and the little pilot

Most experts are very lenient
about their partners mistakes, for
they know that contract is so diff
any one to play even close to per-
fection. However, there is one type

partners spade bid with five to the
ace and a singleton was certainly
sound When the bidding reached
four clubs by South. West justifiably
passed, since he didn't think his
hand would prove too valuable to his
partner. In, spite of his pass, East
continued to a vulnerable four
spade contract, and South elected to
defend at five diamonds.
Right here is where West took
control. He arbitrarily decided that
his side could not make five spades
hence it behooved him to double
his opponents. When East passed,
accepting his partners judgment,
the contract was set a mere 300
points-far less than the value of
the rubber. Needless to say, if West
had passed five diamonds-the bid
his hand called for-East would have
continued to five spades, and since
the cards were favorably distributed,
six would actually have been made,
and with it the game and rubber.

Spray apple trees once or twice with

pink, spray again in the pink stage,
once when nearly all the petals have
fallen, and two or three times during
the summer with a combined lime sui
phur and lead arsenate solution.
Plum pocket can be controlled by
spraying with lime sulphur before the
flower buds open in the spring.
To contol Raspberry anthracnoSe,
spray with lime sulphur when the buds
start to break and use Bordeau mixture
for later treatments.
For strawberry leaf spot spray with
Boredau as soon as the new
growth is well started and repeat every
10 days until the fruit begins to set.
Spraying is not a cure ALI for fruit

be controlled in this way, but a timely.

Numerous inquiries received from en-
ployers by the Minnesota Unemploy-
ment Compensation Division. st. Paul,
indicate that there is misunderstanding
of the coverage of employers during
1889 under the compensation law as
amended by the Legislature, Victor
Christgau, Coordination of the Mime
sofa Unemployment Compensation Di-
vision and the Minnesota State En-
ployment Service announced today.
No employer is exempt from payment
of contributions during 1889 under the
amended compensation law because the
services of his employees are performed
outside city, village, or borough of
less than 10000 population, Christgau
declared.
In addition, he explained, no employer
is exempt from the payment of con-
tributionS after 1889 because the SER
vices of his employees are performed
outside of a center of less than 10000
population, unless the employer meets
three conditions. These conditions re-
quire, Christgau pointed out, that the
services of all the employees of an en-
ployer be performed outside of the
corporate limits of a city, village, or
borough of less than 10000 population;
that the employer shall have paid al
contributions due for past periods; and
that the employer be exempt from pay
ment of the Federal Excise Tax under
Title TX of the Social Security Act by
reason of having less than eight en-
ployees.
Christgau emphasized that no en-
ployer will be exempt from the pay
ment of contributions after 1889 unless
such an employer has actually paid to
the Minnesota Unemployment Compen-
sation Division all contributions due for
all past periods.
