Two good questions appear in the
following letter:
Dear Uncle Ray:
Il am a student in the eighth
grade and for some time have had
two questions about geography. Un-
able to find an answer elsewhere, l
have resorted to the place I think
] will find the most reliable answer
your column.
The first is whether the earth is
closer to the sun in summer than !.
Is in winter. The second is which
of the planets comes closest to the
earth. Venus and Mars are gener-
ally accepted as the two closest.
know Venus is closest on the sun
side and Mars on the outer side, but
there is some doubt as to the closer
of the two.
Yours truly,
EUGENE HOGAN"
The answer to the first question
may seem a bit hard to believe at
first. The sun is farther away from
us In summer than in winter. We

men. "AHN-voy" and "ONG -voy'
are neither English nor French
They are mongrel pronunciations
that careful speakers will avoid
The only correct pronunciation is:
ENVOY.
If the urge for elegant diction de-
mands a more plush lined word than
envoy one may use the French
envoye. making sure, however, that
the word has three syllables and a
strongly nasalized n: ah (N) -vwah-
YAY.
Capitals indicate syllables to be
accented.)
Question: Is climb down" cor
rect uSage?-P. D.
AnsWer-Climb down is common
in colloquial speech, but I should
not recommend the expression since
the true meaning of climb is Ito
ascend, to pull oneself UP by means
of the hands and feet"
For a personal answer to your
questions about words, send a
stamped (3c), self-addressed en-
velope to Frank Colby, care The

"As the hand was actually played,
West opened a club and South won
and Immediately finesSed the spade
queen. East took his king and re-
turned a diamond to Vests ace.
West then took the ace of hearts
and eXited with a club. At this
point South had to win the rest
and went into a huddle about how
to play the trumpS. He finally put
up dummy's ace and lost the hand.
North made a few well-chosen
remarks, and South made few
sharp replies. The question now is
this North contends that South
should fineSSe twice in trumpS, while
South says he should f1nesse the
queen and then play for the drop
Both agree that the actual hand is
immaterial; they are thinking only
OF the correct percentage play. How
do you decide?"
We're happy to say that both
players are wrong. The correct play
Is for South to win the opening club
lead in the dummy and lay down the
ace of trumps! If an honor drops,
South's later procedure is obvious.
II only small cards drop, South re-
turns TO his hand to lead a trump
toward the dummy. While this
method of playing the suit will oc-
casionally lose a trump trick that
might have been saved, it will never
lose two trump tricks unless that
loss was absolutely inevitable. And
since South can afford to lose one
trump trick, he should adopt the
safety play"

Spanish Prisoner
SwindIe Bobs Up
Again in Capital
y. S. Postal Officials
Reveal LocuIe Is
Shifted to Mexico

That hardy perennial, the Span
ish prisoner" swindle, has bobbed
up in the Capital, and postal au-
thorities are warning everybody to
forget all about sudden wealth and
senoritas and keep their money in
their pockets.
This time operations are centerine
IN Mexico City, and prospects" here
are getting letters something like
this:
"A person who knows YOU and
who has spoken very highly about
you has made me trust you a very
delicate matter on which depends
the entire future of nv dear
daughter as well as my very exist
ence.
Il am in prison, sentenced for
bankruptcy, and I wish to know If
you are willing to help me save the
sum of $285,000 United States Cy.
which I have in bank bills hid
den IN a secret compartment of
trunk that is now deposited in a
customhouse in the United States,
Baggage Check In Suitcase.
"As soon as I send yoa some un-
deniable evidence, it is necessary
for you to come here and pay the
expenses incurred in connection
with my process so the embargo on
my suitcases can be lifted. One of
these suitcases contains a baggage
check that was given to me at the
time of checking my trunk for North
America; this trunk contains the
sum above mentioned.
ITO compensate all your troubles
I will give you the third part of the
said sum.
Fearing that this letter may not
come to your hands, will not sign
my name until I hear from you and
then will entrust you with my
whole secret. For the time being, I
am only signing "A.

Red Cross Prepare.
To Assist in Norway

Two representatives Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross In Finland have been
ordered to stand By for duty in any
Of the Scandinavian countries,
Ernest J. Swift, vice chairman In
charge Of foreign operations for the
Red Cross, said today.
Mr.. Swift reported that the Amer
ican Red Cross had cabled the Nor
wegian Red Cross to inquire If It
needed assistance. He added that
the Norwegian Red Cross was one
OF the best \organized societies In
the international group and had
sent more than $1,136, 900 .and 100
hospital beds to Finland when that
country needed help.

prison school I can write you like
this and entirely at liberty"
Gives Name Of "Conildant."
Follows then the explanation that
the writer cannot receive his reply
in prison, so he furnishes the name
Of a person "of my entire trust" In
Mexico City to whom communica-
tions are to be addressed.
For those "beneficiaries" who
would like the rest of the story with
out cost, postal inspectors offer this
brief fill-in:
If a prospect reaches the going
to-Mexico City stage, he Is informed
that the sum needed to bail out the
prisoner is 5000 or $4,000. Arriving
in the Mexican capital, he Is ac-
companied to q hotel, and, other
means failing, is relieved Of the
money by force.
Postal authorities, who for years
have been bothered recurrently by
the scheme, hope nobody goes to
Mexico City on this particular mis-
sion.

Relief of Suffering

The world is full of suffering.
The hatreds and wars of men lay
great countries in the dust, and
submit their people to untold agony!
Terrible disasters, which human
wisdom can neither foresee nor pre-
vent, lay low the cities and homes
of our people. The unseen germs Of
disease enter every one of our
homes, and lay millions ON beds of
sickness. There is also suffering
duastssthe failures Of the people to
learn the methods by which disease
perils can be averted.
Then there are the poor and the
destitute, the folks suffering from
unemployment. What are kind heart
ed people going to do with all the
misery that human life develops?
Shall we go our way serenely, as if
these troubles do not interest us,
and shall we do nothing to relieve
them?
1t is not always possible for the
average person to do a great deal
by his own personal effort to relieve
this suffering. But there is a grand
covering the whole
country, the American Red Cross,
which offers to do this work for us.
1t sends its messengers Of mercy and
aid all over the land, wherever dis
aster has fallen with its crushing
hand.
1t reaches out across the seas and
feeds the British people, whose
homes have been destroyed by cruel
bombs. 1t provides clothing for those
who are shivering in wintry winds.
It nurses the wounded, whose bodies
have been torn by the bombs of hell.
In our own country it is alert to |
succor the victims of misfortune. If
floods sweep away homes, the Red
Cross is there with tents and food
and nursing and clothing. If fire or
tornado levels a city to the ground,
here is the Red Cross, caring for all
in need.
The Red Cross holds its annual
seeking to enlist millions
1f new members, from Armistice day
70 November 80. Will you not john?

The Women Voters

Before the women had the SUI
frage It was often claimed that moi
many Of their sex wanted to vote
The majority seemed perfectly will
ing to leave All that to the men.
There is a different story now. The
women have seemed through the
past campaign to be even more con-
cerned than the men about the cleo
tion.
Most women see now that political
results touch their homes and chill
dren. They say a she-bear will
fight harder for her cubs than the
male animal ever will. An instinct
for preservation of the family seizes
her, and she will dare any danger to
save her young. It is a good deal
so in the human race. If the women
feel that any tendency in modern life
shakes the foundation Of home, they
are terribly concerned about it.
