Answer to Yesterdays Puzzle
UNCLE RAYS CORNER

The ether day a 9-year-old boy
said to his father: "Oh, daddy,
come quick! There are colors on
the floor of the living room!"
The father went to loook, and
saw red, yellow, blue and other
rainbow colors on a certain section
of the floor.
What do you think these colors
are?" he asked.
Cosmetic rays!" replied the boy
The little fellow was wrong in
two ways. He meant cosmetic" not
cosmetic" and furthermore he was
thinking of the wrong kind of rays.
Cosmic rays do not produce colors
which we can see.
The rays in question were from
sunlight. The sun had struck a
glass goldfish jar on the windowsill
in such a way as to separate the
light into colors The same thing
sometimes happens at the time of
a shower, when sunlight shines
through water in the air and pro-
duces a rainbow.
Sir Isaac Newton used a glass
prism to prove that sunlight con-
tains many colors Such a prism
is a piece of glass with ends of
triangle shape
Light travels by waves. and the
waves differ in length, some being
much shorter than others. Waves
of one length give red color, those

white Contains Various CoIors

A small machine known as New
tons color disk" can be used to
prove that various colors cali be
turned back to white.
The disk is a wheel with seven
colors on its face-red, orange,
yellow, green. blue, indigo and violet.
A crank is turned so it makes the
wheel go around very fast. A per-
son who looks at the fast moving
disk sees white. or whitish gray,
instead of the seven colors!
Newton spoke of light as con-
tanning seven colors," and that is
true in rough way Yet there are
many shades of every main color.
A carefully made color chart" may
show $50 colors or more.

of another length blue, and so on.
When white light goes through
a prism, the waves are separated.
They come out of the glass as
special colors.
Ralnbows were seen by people
long before Newton did his work,
but they did not know how to e.
plain the colors. Newton's tests
with the prism gave the key to
answer the question of how rain
bows are made.

South was the criminal-and his

that he'd lose three tricks in clubs
II he tackled the clubs himself-but
only two tricks if an opponent led
the suit first. South could afford
to lose a spade and two clubs, but
not a spade and three clubs so
should have planned the play on
that basis.
Correct play is to draw trumpS

actually done. Then South must
cash the spade ace and lead the
spade queen. Whichever opponent
wins must either lead clubs or give

Workers Decide To End
Aluminium Plant Strike

several big national defense or

The strikers are to return to

Under the agreement a SRA

the walkout because he threaten

collect SIP in back dues, will be
transferred to the Logans Ferry

WASHINGTON, Nov. %. - R
Measures to alleviate suffering

ment and Red Cross authorities, it
was learned tonight after a long
White House conference on the for
eign relief problem.
The plan, calling for the shipment
of canned milk, medicines and SINH
lar supplies to parts of Europe for
the relief only of children, was de-
scribed in informed quarters as still
being in the tentative stage.
Unoccupied France and Spain were
believed most likely to benefit at first
if the plan became effective.
The undertaking was said to de-
pend largely on whether British au-
thorities would permit the supplies
to pass through the blockade OF the
European continent.
It was emphasized in Informed
quarters that there was no present
intention by authorities here to at
tempt a large-scale European feeding
program such as Herbert Hoover n
others have been advocating for the
