UNCLE RAYS CORNER

From time to time I think about
the future of the flying art. In
less than half a century, inventors
and mechanical engineers have
done wonders in bringing out mas
terry of the air, but great deal
is left to do.
Air lines have been opened
across the Atlantic and across the
Pacific. We can get from one side
to the other in about one-fourth the
time taken by fast modern
steamer going over the same route.
The ocean air lines might make
faster flights, but they are not
trying for speed records. They
want safety for the passengers,
and to date there has been little
misfortune.
AS time goes on. there is no doubt
that both speed and safety will be
increased. You and I probably will
live long enough to see flights across
the Atlantic in less than 8 hours.
Seaplanes. or flying boats, are be-
ing used to transport passengers. In
case of forced landing on the water.
the passengers are much more likely
to be saved than If they were in a

Although seaplanes are best able
to meet forced landings on the
ocean, quite number of aviators
have lived after striking the water
while aboard land planes. Among
these is 1t. Edgar Ryder Of the
Royal Air Force.
Ryder was aboard Spitfire fight

crashed into the sea.
Ryder found himself trapped in
the cockpit of his plane, something
like 80 feet below the surface. For

and rose to the surface. In a few

North should have passed at six
hearts, largely because an opening
diamond lead by East would not be
dangerous. AS it happened, how
ever, when North went to six spades
the opening diamond lead by West
gave South no choice but to finesse.
East took the diamond king and re-
turned club, dummy winning with
the jack.
South now had to clear trumps
without loss, and his only chance
lay in finding doubleton king in
the East hand. He therefore led
low trump from dummy and
flnessed the jack. 1t was on this
trick that West set his trap.
He simply played the nine of
spades! Now South expected to
find the five of trumps in the East
hand. The only chance, in that
case, was to lead the spade queen
from dummy to pick up Vests
"blank' 10 while trapping East's
king. That, of course, was just
what West had been hoping for,
since the fall of the three top spades
made his 10 the high trump. Note,
however, that South would have
been forced to make the correct
play but for Vests imaginative
false-card.
