UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Alexander Mackenzie set down
notes on the Indians he found in
northwestern Canada. The trip was
made a century and a half ago,
and part of it was through a region
which never had been explored.
The men" wrote Mackenzie,
''have lines tattooed on their cheeks.
Their clothing is made of the
dressed skins of reindeer or moose.
Their upper garments are large
enough to cover the whole body.
Their leggings come half way
UP the thigh, and are sewed to
their shoes The dress of the wom-
en- is the same as that of the men"
Mackenzie also described orna-
ments worn by these Indians, who
belonged to the Dogrib tribe.
Bracelets made of wood, horn and
bone were popular.
Here. in shortened form. is an
account of other customs described
by the explorer:
Their lodges are simple: few
poles supported by a fork, and
forming half-circle at the bot
tom. The poles are covered with
branches or bark
They build two of these huts
facing each other, and make the
fire between them. They have
few dishes of wood, bark or horn.
They have leather bags to hold
their nets. lines and embroider
work. They always keep many

commonly heard STATUS" to
rhyme with bat U.s."
Status is the Latin word from
which we get the word state. The
"a" of status must have the long
sound (ay) as in state.
Likewise, the lay" sound is best
usage in data DAY-tuh), strata
-tuh), verbatim (ver-BAY-
TIM, and gratis (GRAY-tiss).
Correct pronunciation: STAY
tuss.
Capitals indicate syllables to be
accented.
Question: Is it correct to speak
of a "toastmistress?" J. A. L.
, Answer: No. Toastmaster is cor
rect for both male and female. The
tendency of modern usage is to
drop such feminine titles as author
ess. poetess, chairworlan, aviatrix,
postmiStreSs.
In the United States Post Office
Department only postmaster is off,
cially used. A woman writer is an
author; if she writes poetry she is
a poet. A woman who presides at
a meeting is properly addressed as
madam chairman" A women who
flies is an aviator Cor an angel.
But best usage still prefers the
feminine forms executrix and act

West opened the four of hearts,
East winning flnesse with the jack.
East continued with the ace OF
hearts and then led the three OF
hearts. South stuck up the king OF
trumps. but West overruffed with the
ace and shot back the fourth-best
club. South won with the club
ace, drew trumps ana claimed the
rest
The evidence is all in, sleuths.
Some one committed crime, and
the corpse is practically under your
noses Can you detect both crime
and criminal before going on?
West was the criminal, for ne
could have defeated the contract.
He should have discarded instead
of overruffirg on the third round
of hearts. OF course, it's mighty
tempting to take the king of trumpS
with your ace because you can't
get better value for your money.
But if West had held his fire and
kept his powder dry, he'd have won
two trump tricks instead of only one.
If West had discarded. South
would have used the queen of trumps
TO force out Vests ace. Then South's
lack and ten of trumps would pick
I'D Vests small trumpS; but the
nine of trumps would then be high
for the setting trick instead of fall
ing ingloriously to South.

How did you play the trumps?
Answer-Win the first trick with
the ace or king. Then 60 over to
the dummy and lead a trump. II
only small trumps have appeared
finesse either the ten or the nine.
If West wins the trick, only one
trump will be left assuming East
followed twice., and you can draw
that easily. If West shows out, your
finesse will win the trick, and in
that case only the f1nesse will allow
you to make the slam.
Score 100 per cent for the recon-
mended play, nothing for any other.
Question No. $40.

Most of the Indians Mckenzie
met while exploring "the big river"
were members of the Dogrib tribe,
They belonged to the great family
of tribes known as Athabascans.
The Dogrib guide employed by

After travelling with the party a
