UNCLE RAYS CORNER

No man would want to lose his
"strong right arm" For that mat
ter, no one would care to lose his
left arm. Most of us are right
handed and the left arm is not so
strong, but it surely has its place.
After a boy grows to be several
years old he Is likely to start to
"show his muscle" He doubles his
fist and bends his arm and per-
haps proudly proves to friend that
his muscle is of good size and at
least fairly hard. Il did that many
a time In my boyhoodo
The muscle the boy shows Is
known as the "biceps," pronounced
"by-seps." 1t is located on the
"front" Of the upper arm.
The biceps is important, but it is
by no means the only arm muscle.
There is triceps try-seps) muscle
along the back of the upper arm and
sit.makes the arm straight again after
we bend it. Other muscles draw the
arm across the chest and shoulder
muscle gives us power to raise the
arm above the head.
There are only three bones in the
: l1m, between the shoulder and wrist.
=. Ore, Of these bones is in the upper
arm, the other two are in the fore
arm. It is interesting to test the
arm to see how much easier it is to
twist the forearm than the upper
arm. We have very little twisting

The Arm and the Funny Bone
By John Hix

At one time or another you must
have found out something about
your funny bone" or crazy bone"
If we have the i'll fortune to be struck
on q certain part of the elbow It
gives US tingling and rather pain
full feeling.
In real fact, there is no special
funny bone" What we do IS to
strike the elbow in such q way that
the ulnar nerve Is squeezed against
the end Of a long bone. This nerve
runs along the inner side of the
arm and rests on bone at the elbow.
The arm contains a network of
arteries and veins as well rs nerves.
The arteries carry blood from the
heart to the cells in the. arm and
the blood gives the cells food and
oxygen. The veins, on the other
hand, run back toward the heart and
the blood in them carries waste
products from the cells.

power over the upper arm. We must
thank small muscles in the forearm
for the power they give to move the
forearm in several ways. Without
muscles, the bones could not be
turned. The two bones in the fore
arm and the way they are jointed
at the elbow explain. however, much
of our power over this part Of the
ar1h.
The elbow is Joint which act,
like q hinge. No hinge for 4 doc,
Is 50 cleverly made as the one we
have in the elbow.

The king of hearts was opened.
Declarer won with the ace, drew
trumps. cashed the ace-king of clubs,
trumped club and led the jack of
hearts. thereby throwing West in.
West played low diamond Dummy
played the nine, East the jack and
declarer the king.
Now came the crux of the hand.
It seems that West was very fine
defensive player. Accordingly, Mr..
Walker knew that West must have
realized that he was thrown on lead
In order to be forced to lead dia-
mond. Now if West had held either
diamond honor, in all probability
he would have played it in order to
give Mr.. Walker tough guess.
Therefore declarer decided that East
must hold both the queen and jack
of diamonds and that his only
chance of making the hand was to
60 up with dummy's ace of dia-
monds. He did so, caught the queen
and made his contract, thereby il
lustrating one of many instances
where declarer in all probability is
able to do better against a good
player than against dub.
