UNCLE RAYS CORNER-EurIy Prussun Knq Built Up Army

The center of German power
Is Prussia. 1t is the part of Germany
which contains Berlin. Long ago
Prussia set out to conquer other
places, and in that way to build an
empire.
Going back $500 years, we find
German tribes swarming into South
ern Europe. They conquered Italy,
France, Spain, Portugal and other
lands. At that time they were
called "barbarians" by people of the
old Roman empire.
When the Germans went SOUTH
ward, they left parts of their old
homeland with few, if any, resi-
dents. One such part was south
of the Baltic Sea, and that is where
Prussia was later to grow up.
Tribes of "Slavs" moved into the
empty lands. These people were
Of the same race as the Poles and
Russians.
The Germans won the south of
Europe, but not all of them stayed
Evening star., 1940-06-17

there. Many went back to where
they had lived before.
Those who returned to Prussia
found the Slavs there and made
war against them. The Germans
drove most of the Slavs away.
For long time the lands south
of the Baltic sea were ruled by
mobiles. Some of these mobiles were
Germans, others were Poles.
In 1701 a nobleman started what
he called "the Kingdom of Prussia u
His name was Frederick, and he
became the first King.
Frederick's son was named Fred
erick William" After his father
had ruled IL years, he came to the
throne.
Frederick William may be given
most of the creditor blame-for
starting Prussia along the road
to skill in war.
His father left him an army OF
27,0O0 men, and he took steps
to build it up. Before he died his
army contained $4,000 soldiers.
Evening star., 1940-06-17

An army of $4,000 would not
seem very big in these days, but
two centuries ago it meant a good
deal.
Some nations in Europe had
larger armies than that, but Fred
erick Williams soldiers were of
special importance because they
were so well drilled.
Prussian "drillmasters" got results.
They barked at their troops, and the
troops obeyed.

Musical Abuse Fotol

Abuse with music, a novel form of
entertainment in Dholpur, India,
and its environs, led to a serious
fight, in which one person was killed
and several injured in Mania. Bhat,
a singer, who specializes in this queer
type of entertainment, had been
hired by the host. One after another
of the guests submitted to his musi-
cal insults. but one, in rage, started
a fight in which the host joined.

West opened his singleton trump
and East's eight-spot forced out
Souths king. Declarer led a low club
toward dummy's king, hoping either
to win the trick or pave the way
for a club ruff. East frustrated both
plans, however. by winning with the
club ace and returning the trump
queen.
South won with the ace of trumps
and led his remaining club; but
East won and drew two trumps. 1t
was then impossible for South to
make anything but the heart ace in
addition to the two high trumps
already garnered. He thus suffered
700-point penalty-more than the
value of the game East and West
might otherwise have bid
But note that South could have
escaped with a much smaller pen
atty if he had been permitted to
make a small trump or two. It took
persistent trump leads to get the
most out of the defense-and it's a
good idea to note that such tactics
are usually called for when a take

Synthetic Wool From Milk

Two scientists of the U. S. depart
ment of agriculture have developed
and patented a process for making
fiber out of casein. The casein is
softened in water and dissolved in
a solution of caustic alkal. 1t be-
comes thick sticky mass and in
this condition is worked into the
proper consistency by aging, by add
ing modifying agents, and by dilu-
ton. The mass is then forced
through multiple spinnerets of the
kind used in making rayon, and the
fibers are separated and hardened
in an acid bath containing formal
dehyde and modifers. The synthetic
fiber thus produced has a chemical
composition almost identical with
wool, except for a lower sulphur
content.
