Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1940-12-04

In ancient Greece an interesting
kind of clock was employed. 1t was
called a "clepsydra,' word pro-
nounced like KEEPS ih-druh.
The name "clepsydra" came from
hide water" The invention was
an early form of clock, the best kind
known until few centuries ago. 1t
was better than the sundial because
1t would work at night as well as
when the sun was shining.
The ancient Romans, as we'll as
the Greeks, had clepsydras, or wa
ter clocks" One form of Roman
clock had marks to show II hours
of night and II hours of daylight.
In other words. it was 24-hour
clock.
If we 60 back far enough we find
an early kind of water clock which
told time in simple way. Water
dripped out of small hole in the
bottom of a bowl or tank. When it
was all gone a period of an hour or
more had passed.
That, however, was not good
enough to please people. They did
not want always to be forced to have
some one watch the water clock and
fill it up as soon as it became empty.
Clever men found way to make
the dripping very slow. With the
help of a small drum they made a
hand turn, and the hand went from
one hour to another.

West opened the queen of hearts,
holding the trick. He continued the
suit and South ruffed. DeClarer
then led low trump to dummy's ace
and returned diamond. East took
the ace of diamonds and returned
the king of clubs, Whereupon dummy
took the club ace and ran the dia-
monds. East could ruff the fourth
diamond if he liked, but South was
able to discard his losing club at the
same time. South therefore lost only
a spade, a heart and a diamond
fulfilling his contract.
Perhaps you didn't notice it, but
dastardly deed has been done. Look
for the crime and the criminal be-
fore you read the next paragraph.
West was the criminal, and his
crime occurred at the second trick.
West should have realized that
shift to clubs was vital. The solidity
of dummy's diamonds made it i'm
perative to set up tricks in the side
suits so that they could be taken ION
The run" There was no need to
worry about further heart tricks,
since if South had another heart
East could cash the heart ace when
ever he chose. But there was need
to worry about the clubs, since no
club trick could be won by the de-
tense until after dummy's ace had
been knocked out. A shift to clubs
by West at the second trick would
have made it possible for the de-
Tense to defeat the contract by tax

Answer: Bid three spades. Your
partners rebid indicates hand
with not a great deal more than
opening-bid strength: so you cannot
safely bid game. Three spades
should be fairly safe if your partner
has only a minimum opening bid,
and you thereby give him chance
to bid game if he has slight excess
values.
Score 100 per cent for three
spades, so per cent for four spades,

The war has knocked out one hap py feature of the U. s. weather re- porting service into a cooked hat. The Coast Guard is filling in the breach by sending a pair of re- porting ships into the south central Atlantic.
 Over period of years the Wealth. CT Bureau has received from ships at sea, both American and foreign, report of ocean weather. It has come in from every spot on the ocean where a ship with good radio happened to be.
 Four times day, at 80 and 7:30 o'clock, Eastern Standard Time, morning and night, the ships would report to U. s. receiving stations Quickly a world weather map would be drawn Then. at and o'clock. morning and night--just an hour and half after each report a weather message would be broad cast worldwide over the naval radio station at Arlington, just across the river from Washington
 It was a splendid service, and the maritime commerce of the world benefited by it.
 Then came the war. American
 ships continued to send in the
 weather reports four time a day
 but no ship belonging to a bel
 ligerent nation and few belong
 ing to neutral nations would
 report. For ship to broad
 cast It's location and the kind
 of weather thereab0uts would
 have made it dead meat for a
 submarine.
 Since much American traffic has shifted lately to the South Atlantic lanes, the Coast Guard is establish ing two reporting ships there. One will be tehird of the way from Bermuda to the Azores. the other two thirds of the way Their re- ports will be particularly valuable to the transatlantic air service which now uses only the Southern route.

Madison Square Garden Should Bear His Name
 as He Made If
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-The area surrounding Madison Square Gar den should be named Jack Demp- sey Square. It is that now in everything but name. It's fame rests on the glamor of Dempsey's clang- ing victories. They say the Six Hundred Millionaires had some thing to do with the Gardens suc- cess: so they did But what would the history of boxing be without Dempsey?
 Dempsey came, bringing with him the golden age, and his two iron fists. His kind of fight was based on wolf-flurries of action. Two men climbed into ring and stayed there until one of them went down. That was Dempsey s way, to rend and destroy His way is gone now, replaced by polite rules of break, and pardon my glove. And no one, ever, will see his like again.
 If you walk through the Gar den now, at Eighth and Fiftieth, you will see many pictures of many famous fighters, black and white, but most of them will be Dempsey pictures, lean flanked and swift, with crew haircut and fists that could hammer a bull

 The pattern Tor the present come back was set in 1922 when Connie bought Third Baseman Sammy Hale from Portland, Ore, for $75,00O He followed this a year later with $75- 900 for Paul Strand, who turned out to be a baseball lemon" Con- nie handed over 5000 to Mill waukee for Al Simmons, Baltimore got S5OOoO for Max Bishop, and the following spring purchased Rube Walberg from the New York Giants.
 With this expensive array of tal- ent, the As in eighth place in 1922 rose to fifth place in two years but "Blitzkreig" wasn't a by-word then It was in the bankroll era, though and more than S100,000 went for Lifty Grove and $75,00O for Mickey Cochrane, who joined the club in 1925. The same year 17-year-old Jimmy Foxx tried out--and was farmed out.

SEATTLE, Feb.' Is. First, the University of Washington had two bespectacled football tackles.
 Now, the Washington varsity has pair of bespectacled basketball players. Harry Cruiser" Nelson and Dick Dizzy" Izzard.
 Nelson, six-foot-two, 170-pound sophomore from Denver, has worn glasses since he first played the game. He says that without the glasses, the players and court are a blur, and he couldn't locate the basket with a naval range finder. With the specs, however. Nelson has twice led the teams scorers.
 Izzard sixfoot-four, 175-pound Senior of Seattle, has only worn glasses the last year or two"
 Both wear unbreakable lenses. Both have strips of white adhesive tape on either temple binding down the wings. Nelson says he never has had his specs batted off during floor scramble, but Izzard has twice had his cheaters knocked to the floor.
 WaShington's bespectacled grid ders, known as the "birdcage" tack les because of the stout mask which protected their glasses, were Glen Conley and Byng Nixon, both of whom return next fall.
