Evening star., 1940-01-09

While the great and good William
Penn lived in England (and for a
time in Pennsylvania, there was IN
Russia czar known in history as
Peter the Great.
Peter did not, of course, start out
In life with the title of 'the Great"
He was simply little Prince Peter.
At the death of the czar there was
q question as to who should be given
the throne.
Peter was only 10 years old at the
time, and he had an older half
brother named Ivan. Ivan was in
line for the throne, but his brain
was not sound. He was close to
being feeble minded, but most of
the people did not know this fact.
Peter was named czar, but this
brought on q revolt of a sort by
people who wanted Ivan to rule
Russia. An angry mob stormed the
Kremlin, the huge fortress in Mos
COW.
As a result of the revolt. a new
plan was carried out. Both Ivan
and Peter were named as rulers.
Ivan died nine years later, and after
that, Peter held the throne alone.
Peter proved to be different kind
Of ruler from what was usual in
Russia. He wanted to see the out
side world, and to learn things from
It. This led him to make long
journey.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER Peter Worked in Dutch Shipyord

The Russians were well treated in
Germany, and q German princess
wrote down an account Of them
She said their leader was tall and
mad a quick mind, but she did not
like his table manners.
In Holland, Peter left the main
party and went to work in ship
yard. Renting a cottage nearby, he
spent some days as workman, and
dressed the same as others laboring
beside him. Some one learned who
he was, and he became the center Of
so much interest that he left the
shtpyard and went to another part
of Holland. At Amsterdam he spent
time going through factories and art
galleries.
The farthest part Of the journey
was to England, where the Russians
spent three months. Peter hired 4
number Of British architects, ship
builders and goldsrniths, and sent
them to Russia.

- West opened a spade. East played
the eight and declarer won with the
queen. South could count four heart
tricks, two spades and two clubs, but
the ninth trick might prove elusive
since it appeared more than likely
that East, who had made vulner-
able overcall, would hold the dia
mond ace. However, the declarer
was versatile player and he saw
way to make his contract if East
held no more than two clubs.
Three rounds of hearts were played
and declarer then proceeded to cash
the ace-king of clubs and the ace of
spades. Now the last heart was
played to dummy, and East discarded
the diamond nine. At this point
East was down to his three good
spades and the ace-queen of dia-
monds.
The rest is obvious. East was
thrown in with spade and after
running off four tricks, had to con-
cede the last trick to dummys king
