White House Influence.
All this frets Washington's and its
neighborhood's populace.

cumming up the works.
But what the heck does the White
House care? Its cars get through.
The White House, I'll say, is un-
popular with its local pageantry.
All the same, local newspaperdom
does have quite a widespread influ-
ence.
The country generally doesn't care
a boot for its traffic problems, but it
is concerned, as to its problems with

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

While the House of Han. held
power in China, new parts were add
ed to the Great Wall, and old parts
were repaired.
The purpose of the Great Wall was
to keep out enemies who were classed
as "barbarians." They could ride
well, but did not know the art of
writing. They could shoot with bows
and arrows, but were not able to
weave silk cloth.
'Keep them out!" was the idea of
the Chinese, and they labored on the
wall so they could do that very thing.
Now and then the barbarians got
past the wall and this meant warfare
to drive them back.
In an effort to keep peace, one of
the Han emperors sent a letter to
the king" of the barbarians. Here
is the meaning of the words he
wrote:
1--WE hope the Great King is we'll.
There is no good reason for fighting
to 60 on between us. Your lands
are north of the Great Wall and ours
are inside the Great Wall.
THE People of the Bow and Arrow,
whom you rule, should not attack us,
the People of the Hat and Girdle.
Each year, at an early date, the land
In your northern climate is covered
with snow and filled with bitter
winds. That is why we are sending
Evening star., 1939-02-09
tie quarrels which may arise, and
60 on as friends"

tie quarrels which may arise, and
go on as friends"
That was a noble letter, and ma
tions of today might we'll think of its
meaning. If nations work together,
instead Of against one another, they
can all share the fruits of a peaceful
world.
The history Of China is far more
than the record OF wars and en-
perors. There have been great Chi
nese inventors and writer's.
The greatest poet in Chinese his
tory Is known as Ii Po. He lived
1000 years ago, but his verses are
read by the Chinese of today. When
he was 81 years of age, Ii Po was
called to the royal court. His work
charmed the emperor so much that
ne was allowed to spend his time as
he pleased while living on public
money. We are told that the emper-
or one day prepared, with his own
hands," a bowl of soup for the poet!

If one were asked what is the
nearest thing to impossible that
could happen in bridge game, the
answer might we'll be: To have
one side open the bidding with
perfectly legitimate two-bid, only
to have the opponents bid and make
a grand slam! This is exactly what
happened in one of the most amaz-
ing hands we have ever seen. Ger
tainly West had sound opening
two-heart bid, and with any sort
of normal distribution he would
have been able to make either six
or seven hearts. AS the cards were
distributed, if West had been al
lawed to play six hearts, club op-
ening followed by spade return
would have set him six tricks. OF
course, North and South did not
expect to make their grand slam,
but they did think that the sacri-
flee would be comparatively cheap.
West made what seemed to him
the safest opening-the king of
spades. South trumped in dummy,
entered his hand, then played the
spade queen through West. South
then discarded dummy's two hearts
on his two established spades and
spread his hand.
What would appear to be the
worst opening-a heart-was the
only one that would have defeated
the grand slam.
Yesterday you were declarer at

The opening lead was the six of
diamonds. What was the correct
play?
Answer: The correct play is the
ace of diamonds. If you finesse
the diamond and it works, you can
make an awful lot of tricks; but
. If the opening lead has been a
singleton, you will lose the king of
diamonds, a ruff and two clubs and
be set. You have sure thing for
four spades-take it.
Score 100 per cent for the ace of
diamonds, 0 for any other play.

Strange Burial OF Andrew
Jackson, Sr., Is r elated

to find the grave ready and the
Reverend William Richardson on
hand to pay last tribute to his
departed friend. That preacher
was the uncle and forster father
of William Richardson Davie and
the man for whom that distin-
guished statesman was named.
After the funeral Mrs. Jackson
returned to her home (near the
present Pleasant Grove camp
meeting ground). But the task of
developing that rough farm and
raising two small boys with an
other baby on the way, was too
much for her. She sold the land
and some of her goods and star
ted to the home of her sister,
Mrs. James Crawford, near Wax
haw church.
According to North Carolina
hypothesis she stopped enroute to
spend a night with another Sis
ter, Mrs. George Mckinney, and
there her son was born, whom
she named Andrew in honor of
his father. South Carolinians
contend that Mrs. Jackson reach
ed the Crawford home before
Andrew arrived.
