UNCLE RAYS CORNER

More than $500 years ago Japan
was settled by people who were
later to play an important part in
Chinese history.
The early history Of Japan is
not clear In every way. We do not
know the exact stock" of the Jap
anese, but it seems certain that
their ancestors were of mixed races.
Most early Japanese are believed to
have been settlers from Northeast
ern Asia, relatives OF the Chinese.
We have good proofs, however,
that large numbers Of people from
the South Sea islands reached
Japan In ancient times. They must
have married with the settlers from
Asia.
Japan obtained its system of
writing from China. There have
been many changes, to be sure,
but present-day Japanese writing
is . great deal like Chinese.
The islands of Japan were settled
long ago by people known as Amos.
The Amos were driven from one
island to another by the later set
tiers. Those now left keep to them
selves, and have only a few villages.
Their history may be compared to
that Of the American Indians north
Of Mexico.
The real Japanese, that is, the
people who now make up the vast
majority Of the inhabitants, have
h1a RI hair and 1{0hf11, colorad .lx{o.

Il wonder If you would be kind
enough to decide what my correct
lead should have been on the bid
ding shown above" writes A. Free
man of New York City. Against
the seven spade contract I opened
a diamond and, needless to say,
South then had no difficulty in
making his contract. My partner
claims that the club opening was
clearly marked. What is your
opinion?"
In the first place, the double of a
slam contract by the player not on
lead Is for purposes of directing a
Nad. Obviously the diamond open
ing was definitely wrong, as would
be a trump opening, and the prob
lem lies between clubs and hearts.
From the bidding it was almost i'm
possible for East to be void of
hearts, and if he had the ace OF
hearts it would undoubtedly keep;
whereas, If he held the club ace, it
might be possible for declarer to
discard all his clubs on dummy's
heart suit.
Finally, it was quite likely that
North, with singleton club, would
be gambling that his partners club
bid showed the ace. Hence we be-
lieve a club was the correct opening.
In yesterdays question you were
declarer and held A-Q-10-x-x in
spades. Dummy held 9-8-7-e. You
had unlimited entries in both hands
and could afford to lose only one
spade trick. What was your correct
play?
Answer-The correct play is to
lay down the ace of spades, then go
over to dummy and lead a low spade.
This will lose not more than one
trick unless the king jack are guard
ed In back of you, in which case
there Is no chance anyway.
Score 100 per cent for correct play,
10 per cent for two illnesses (also
loses to king-jack alone In back !,
so per cent for one f1nesse followed
by laying down the ace (also loses
to the wrong singleton honor in

as a greater gift than the orange
or the bag of candy. That's why
the Christmas spirit is something
complete and beautiful. Can you
be sorry for them when they have
that? Or can you be sorry for the
people who haven't?"

She held out her hand to him and
said, Thanks for telling me, Bill.
Telling me something I should have
known. Only, you see I'm not re-.
ligious."
you're a lot of things you don't
even know about" he said crypt
cally. Including darn good disci-
plinarian. You've done a mighty
good job on this project. Going to
be around Christmas to hear the
fruits of your labor?
I'm taking the nine o'clock train
to Maryland. I'll hear the carols
and rush to the station. I'll be in
by two. And two o'clock is practi-
cally the shank Of the evening in
my part of the world. You staying
in New York ?"
yeah. A doctor can't run awe ~
for holidays. But don't you worry
about me. Ellen's taking pity on
me. Wish you were going to be-
here, too"
Hmmmm. She didn't! Not to see
Bill and Ellen laughing over the
same things, sharing the same ex-
periences. She had never seen them
together except at the settlement
house, and she didn't want to.
Give her Maryland and the
gaiety and music and Nicky and all
the people she could share expert
ences with.
But she was not to spend that
Christmas at Willoughby hall.
The telegram came at six o'clock,
when she was winding bright red
scarf around Patsy O'Brien's neck.
She read it, swallowed the for
lornness that swept over her and
thrust it into her skirt pocket. No
need to tell anybody that she wasn't
going to Maryland because Aunt,
Edna's sister had died and Uncle;
Mark and Aunt Edna were already
on their way to st. Louis.

THEY WE'RE 9 small group in

where a piano had been placed for
rehearsal Of the carols.
Fabienne consulted card in ner
hand and looked up at the children
with an encouraging smile. The
four tallest girls and the four tall
est boys will stand over here to the
right" she said, leading them to
their positions. The boys in back
of the girls. Then Luigi. you and
Ingaborg, Lee and Colleen will
stand in the front row. That's
right"
Twelve foreign faces beamed at
her
Now you look just like the pic
ture that I showed you in the
Christmas Carol book!" And in
deed. they would, with the simple
costumes Miss Winters was MAX

long bright wooden scarfs to wrap
around their threats and long coats.
Put a lantern in little Luigi's hand
and the picture would come to life.
1T a c h { r" Colleen Flahe1 y
asked shyly, whats the lantern
for?"
"Oh. didn't I tell you about that?
Well. you see the first little boys
and girls who went out on Christ
mas Eve to spread good cheer with
their carols did not have bright
street lights, so they had to have a
lantern to show the way from house
to house over the soft snow"
Were they cold standing in the
snow?" The wistful voice Of Lars,
the tallest Of the boys wanted to
know. Fabienne's heart smote her.
She knew what cold meant to this
fatherless boy who lived in a miser-
able, unheated tenement. She said
gently, mo, Lars, they weren't
cold any more than we're going to
be cold. Their hearts were light and
happy because they were singing
Christmas hymns of JOY to make
others happy. The way we're going
to be-"
But were they? These poor little
mites. There'd be toys and candy
and fruit for them at the settle
ment house but where was that
Christmas JOY she was painting in
their eager imaginations Cold ten
ements. Wretchedness and poverty
and dirt and sickness was their lot.
For her there would be the holi-
day of fables. The yule log and
grooming board. The big tree in the
library of Willouglby hall The ex-
element Of voices calling CHEEKY
greetings, the gaily colored ribbons
and the mass of greens. The Christ
mas punch and the candle-lit table.
The beautiful gowns and the
Christmas ball.
She cleared her throat. II can't
tell you any more stories now. DR..

and we want to be in our places
