UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Perhaps the best way to obtain
an idea of the size of a foreign
country is to compare it with land
on our own continent.
Turkey is almost three-fourthS as
large as the province of Ontario.
1t contains more land than Penn
svIvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois
put together. The population is
about the same as that of PennSyl-
vania and Illinois put together.
The name of Turkey was carried
from central Asia. Wandering tribes
came from central Asia, where they
had been called Turks"
In western China there was hill
IN the shape of a helmet. The hill
was called the "Turku." meaning the
Helmet" We are told that people
living on it, and around it, came
TO be known as ''Turkus" or Turks. y
The early Turks are named in a
Chinese record dating back almost
l400 years. They wandered from
one part of Asia to another, some
times fighting battles.
Persia is one of the countries
which the Turks conquered. They
also won power in Asia Minor, where
they now have their chief home
land. Besides the land they hold in
Asia, they have small part of the

capital of Turkey. In 1929 the name
was changed to Istanbul, and the
capital was moved away.
The present capital of Turkey Is
in Asia Minor. 1t has two names
Ankara and Angora.
The Turks are of mixed race. For
the most part they are believed to
be of Mongolian descent, but they
have mixed with PerSians and other
members of the white race.
Farming and hvestock-raising are
the main industries of Turkey
Among the farmers and shepherds
are some who wear cloaks of an
odd kind. The cloaks are made of
felt and are of huge size. When
the owner sits down, the coat can
be made to stand up over him, al
most like a tent.

the three of clubs and East won with
the queen. The singleton diamond
was returned, leading to the CASH
ing of two top diamonds and dia-
mond ruff by East. A low heart
came next. South ducked, and West
won with the heart king. West next
led his remaining club to East'S ace,
and East returned a low club.
; Poor South had already lost six
tricks, and was bound TO lose three
more no matter what he did Ac-
tually, he discarded the heart ace,
sand West ruffed Then West re-
turned his low diamond East rutf1ng
with the trump ace. And West still
had a natural trump trick.
South lost LOO points on the
hand, but it wasn't bad luck. 1t was
his own fault, and we hope it taught
him lesson. The chances are 1t
didn't. however, for most players
can give up anything but a bad
habit He might have complained
of bad luck If his perfectly normal
bid of one spade had been doubled
and set 300 points But he was just
asking for trouble when he bid two
spades. and it served him right
when he got it.
He should have been warned by
Vests no-trump bid and by his
partners pass. OF course, he was
tempted by the hope of preventing
the opponents from making an easy
game-and he succeeded in that
aim. But it wasn't worth LOO

Not "glad-DEE-oh-l -luss."
Although dictionary opinion is
rather divided as to where the ac-
cent should fall, there is a slight
preponderance in favor of the third
syllable accent So we may safely
consider this as the first choice
pronunciation:
ad-ee-OH- -luss.
In the second choice pronuncia-
ton, the second or -di syllable has
the exact sound of the word dye, as:
gluh-DYE-oh-luss.
The spelling gladiola is dubious
and had better not be used.
There are two plurals. First
choice is gladioli, pronounced glad

May Drop Rise In
 Tax On Tobacco

Cigar manufacturers throughout Connecticut and the nation are breath ing easier this week as the indication in Washington is that Congress will not approve the increase in tax rates On cigars, tobacco and snuff. The bill is designed to double present rates of taxation.
 The House Ways and Means Com mittee has been informed that the in crease tax would bolster federal cof- fers to the extent of about $75,000,0 900.
 A majority of members of the com mittee though are of the opinion that tobacco and its products now carry more than a fair share of the tax burden and that an increase in rate of taxation would be unfair to both planters and consumers.
 Final action on the bill is not ex- lpected before late June or early July.

No Label?

LOUISVILLE, Ky.-Readers of the labor press are union label conscious. This was proved in an experiment tried by the Tobacco Worker, official organ of the Tobacco Workers Intl. Union (AFL).
 In its April issue, the paper purposely omitted the label of the Allied Printing Trades Council to ''ascertain how many of our readers are union label conscious"
 In the following issue the editors announced: ''TelephOne calls and letters of protest have been SO numerous that we are positive our readers want and demand the union label.

Frank Despins, Secretary of Local ASA Explains Values of Hand Made Product

There is more foundation to cigar, a foundation which it is impossible to maintain by machine methods, according to Frank Despins of 355 Elm street, secretary of Local ASA, Cigar Mak- ers' Union, Meriden. Mir. Despins, who began making cigars in Meri- den Al years ago and is a charter member of the local union, is putt ting in a regular schedule of hours at the bench in Stremlau Brothers, on Church Street.
 Human Touch Unequaled
 There is no machine made that can equal the human touch in cigar as soon as the cigar maker puts tobacco in his hands, he imme- diately senses how much tobacco to put in each cigar" MT. Despins ex- plained, adding that, because leaves of tobacco are not all of the same shape, some long, some short, some wide, and some narrow, when the ma chine picks up leaves of wide varia- tion in size and shape, it is impossible to maintain uniformity as to amount

Of Discharging Man for Union Activity; Council Supports Appeal

The M. B. Manufacturing Co.,, 1O6O State St., New, Haven, has discharged Lewis Stuart for organ izing activity in violation of the National Labor Relations Act, ac- cording to Fred Cederholm, or ganizer for the International As sociation of Machinists. Charges of discrimination will be filed with the National Labor Relations Board, he told The Union Times.
 Responsible for Meetings
 Stuart was responsible for a meet ing held at the Hotel Garde on May IS, which was addressed by Harold V. Feinmark, president of the New Haven Central Labor Council, and, as a result of which the men voted to affiliate with the International Asso- citation of Mactinists. He was dis charged few days later.
 There was meeting of M. B. Co. workers at the Labor Temple on May 25, when a number of the men ex- pressed the feeling that an injustice has been done in Stuart's discharge.
 Fred CederhOIm and Harold V. Feinmark have called on George H. Mettler and Rollin w. Mettler, president and treasurer of the M. B. Co.,, to protest the high-handed action taken by them. ''They take an arrogant stand, and feel that they are in a position to defy the workers and the Federal govern ment," CederhOlm said. ''The In- ternational Association of Machin- ists is going to back Lewis Stuart and get him back to york;" he added.
 Support from Council
 Harold V. Feinmark stated that the Central Labor Council will CO., operate with the Machinists Union in its support of Stuart.
 Some 300 men are employed al the M. B. Company plant, which has never been organized.
