UNCLE RAYS CORNER

In times of peace, as well as war,
test pilots are needed. They must
take new airplanes into the air to
find out whether there is anything
wrong with them. 1t is dangerous
work, and the man who does it must
have clear head and steady nerves.
When test pilot goes up, he
knows that he is taking his life in
his hands. A parachute is strapped
to him, but he never can be sure
that he will make his leap In time
H something goes wrong.
Sometimes, but not usually, an
assistant is taken along. In one
such case the assistant was placed
tn the passenger cabin. While the
trip was going on, the cable which
controlled the rudder broke in two.
There was strong wind, and the
Yudder was needed badly. The pilot
shouted to the assistant to open
one of the doors to make the plane
turn slightly. Then he gave orders
to open the other door a little. BY
opening or closing one door or the
other several times, the assistant
performed the work of the rudder
and a safe landing was made.
An r. A. F. test pilot, 1t. S. L.
Pope, took plane up for an alti-
tude test above Norfolk, England.
BY mistake his oxygen tube had
been connected with the reserve
oxygen tank instead Of the regular,
and much larger, tank.

Test Pilots Marrow ESCAPES

S. Broad, ran into trouble while
testing Comet monoplane. He
wanted to learn how much differ
ence in speed was brought about by
folding the landing wheels under
the machine. He made several tests
at different speeds, and then was
ready to land.
AS he was coming down, he was
not sure whether the landing wheels
were folded or not, and he had no
way of looking down to see.
Maybe the crowd below will tell
me-" he thought. Sure enough, the
crowd watching the test set up
shouts of warning. They had seen
that the landing wheels were folded.
Two or three motorists quickly took
spare wheels from their cars, and
held them in the air. That was
the answer to Broad's question. He
moved a lever, and put the wheels
down before landing.

AS you can see, the hand is pretty
cold for six hearts, but we stopped at
five. South claims that North un-
derbid all the way along the line.
North claims that he bid hearts
twice and thus showed his hand
adequately, and that South then
knew enough to be able to bid the
slam If he wanted to. In other
words, North claims that he could
have passed three diamonds if he
had held less strength, so that the
bid of three hearts is real bid
rather than just a forced response.
How about it?"
We agree with South. North's
hand is too strong for a simple
raise to two hearts to begin with;
two clubs is better response. Hav-
ing bid only two hearts, it is then
up to North to bid as strongly as
he can thereafter to show his
strength. The best response to three
diamonds is four clubs. North thus
shows the club ace, together with
encouragement of any slam am
bitions South may entertain.
A pass of three diamonds would
be just about unthinkable, no mat
ter how weak the North hand was
unless, perhaps, he should have
passed one heart. The return to
three hearts is therefore just a
forced esponse-Showing the very
weakest kind of simple raise. Even
q jump to four hearts over three
diamonds would have been a slight
underbid, and the bid of only three
hearts was, therefore, far worse.

chewed, or drunk in brew, mari
juana has long been known IS
hashish (HASH-eesh), which word,
appropriately, has given us the word
assassin, from the Arabic hash
shashin, hemp eaters.
The dried leaves of the plant, es-
pecially when smoked, produce de-
cidedly intoxicating effect and often
induce violent, though temporary,
insanity. The most common effects,
smokers of "reefers" say, are a great
sense of unreality, the inability to
judge either time or space, and a
complete lack of moral response
bility.
Traffic in the forbidden marijuana
is difficult to stamp out. No special
knowledge is required to prepare the
sinister weed. A few plants, sufficient
to corrupt a regiment, can be grown
in any back yard, empty lot, or be-
tween rows in corn field.
Accent the first and third syllables.
The "a's" are broad as in father.
