UNCLE RAYS CORNER

The building of the Irak pipe
lines took three years, and the
amount of money spent on them was
S5O,000,00O.
That is no small sum, but when
we think of the great toll which
went into them, it is no wonder
that they cost so much. The route
was from the northern part of Iran
to the coast of the Mediterranean
Sea.
The two pipes travelled together
for 165 miles. Then they parted;
one was led across Syria to sea-
port city. the other across Palestine
to the city of Haifa. During the
past few months, Italian aviators
have spent a good deal of time
bombing Haifa
Hundreds Of miles of the pipe
line routes lie across deserts. How
could all that steel pipe be taken
out across the waste lands?
Trucks-large motor trucks-sup-
piled the naswer. The trucks were
fitted with extra broad wheels and
tires so they would not sink so
deeply into the sand. Into them
were loaded pieces of pipe from
SO to 40 feet long. About $4,000
tons of pipe were used in the project.
Five thousand workmen labored
on the project. The pieces of pipe
were put in place and were fitted
together.

moving oil in the case of a short
pipe line, but long one over an
up-anddown route needs pumps.
Pumping stations were built about
100 miles apart, and a 500-h.p. en-
gine was placed in each of them.
When, at last, the pipe lines were
finished, oil was sent through them.
1t was found that between them
they could handle more than II 1000
tons of oil per day. The oil flows
through pipes in the harbors, and
340 tons of it can be put abroad a
tanker in an hour.
In olden times the stories of the
Arabian Nights" were told. There
was magic in them, including a
flying carpet and a wonderful lamp
Today scientists and inventors
have made possible magic" of
many kinds, and not the least is
the transport of oil through pipes
near the borders of Arabia.

returning the singleton diamond.
West took the queen of diamonds
and returned his singleton trump,
dummy winning with the ace. And
now South, with only four high
cards in the side suits, had to find
some way of winning five more
trump tricks.
He began by cashing the high
clubs and ruffing a club. after which
dummy ruffed diamond. The ace
of hearts was next cashed and
South ruffed a fourth round of
clubs. Dummy then ruffed another
diamond. reducing all hands to three
cards: East held the king-queen-
ten of trumps and South the jack
eight of trumps and a diamond.
Since South had already won nine
tricks. he needed only one more,
and this he assured by leading a
heart from the dummy. If East
ruffed high. South planned to dis
card the diamond and make his
jack of trumpS later on; and if East
ruffed low, South could over-ruf
and make his tenth trick there
and then.
North beamed with such gratifi-
cation at the result that South
didn't have the heart to tell her
that she had bid her hand as though
storm signals didn't mean a thing.
Easts redouble, South's rescue at
one spade, Easts double of two no

three spades-an should have
