UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Last month we had story which
told something about cane sugar,
but it was mostly about its past
history. Today, as part of our Sc
ries on sweets, I wish to take up
other important facts.
The world uses more cane sugar
than all other kinds combined. Last
year the crop was estimated at more
than 100000 tons. This estimate
compares with about 100000 tons
of beet sugar, which is the only
great rival of cane sugar.
Those figures mean an average of
about 80 pounds of cane or beet
sugar for each man, woman and
child. That is world average, but
the amount per person is not the
same in all countries.
The people of the United States
are large sugar eaters. They "eat
their own weight" in sugar each
year, even more than their own
weight. The average use of sugar
Is about 100 pounds per person.
Men and women usually weigh
more than that. but children aver
age a great deal less.
Cuba leads the world as a pro-
ducer of white cane sugar. A late
yearly report gave more than 3,OO0.-
600 tons as the yield for Cuba's crop
India led all nations in its outprt
of brown sugar. Java, Formosa. the
Philippine Islands, Brazil, Hawai-;
and Puerto Rico also had large crons
Of cane sugar.

Facts About Cane Suoor

In past times it was the com mon
custom to boil the cane Juice in open
kettles. This plan still is followed
but many modern mills use vacuum

and it boils when it is not nearly
so hot as when placed in open
kettles.
A mixing machine with fast-turn-
Ing paddles stirs the sirup, and there
is more boiling before it becomes
molasses. Further work goes on
and at last the molasses is turned
into sugar.
Brown sugar is obtained from the
molasses and fair amount of it is
placed on the market and sold. us,-

boiled again and refined until it i.

There was very little to the play OF
today's hand. The nine of hearts
was opened. East won with the queen
and led to the king of hearts. De-
clarer ruffed, drew trumps. stopping
in dummy. led the jack of hearts and
established the eight of hearts for
discard. He was down one trick,
whereas perfect defense would have
set him two.
However, as a duplicate score this
was not particularly good, since.
while the opponents could have made
four spades land, in fact, did so at
several tables, there was no play
for four hearts. AS the bidding went,
we consider North's bid of five dia-
monds very bad. His reasoning, in
cidentally, was: II did not want to
double four hearts and give away my
heart holding; hence, what could I
do?"
The answer, of course, is that he
could have passed and trusted in
his ace-king of clubs and possible
heart trick to set the contract. True,
had he doubled. it would have been
an absolute top; but even beating
the opponents undoubled would have
been really satisfactory score.

Answer-Your correct bid is to
pass. If the opening bid is psychic.
it will show up at some later stage
and you can then act. If the opening
bid is sound, your opponents are
likely to bid to contract you can

amount Of surplus food distributed
