UNCLE RAYS CORNER kite Day Celebrated by Chinese

The most common, fashioned
kind of kite has four sides, but it
is almost triangle in shape. Two
short "sides" are at the top. Some
times it Is called "the standard
Malay kite" which gives us hint
that it first was used in the Orient.
When I was 4 or years old,
one of my older brothers made a
kite of that kind. I remember
what a wonder it seemed to me
when it rose in the air.
A kite really is a wonder, small
one, perhaps, but a wonder just the
same. 1t Is heavier than air but
can sail high above the ground. No
doubt it helped to give pioneer in
ventors the idea of making airplane
gliders. 1t is the wind which holds
up kite and gusts of wind are
needed for a long trip aboard a
glider.

back we'll before the time of Ben
jamin Franklin.
1t was on a June day in 1852 that
Franklin made his famous test with
a kite. He sent it up during a storm
and it was struck by lightning.
Electricity ran down the wet cord
and Franklin said: This proves
that lightning is Of the same nature
as electricity. A flash of lightning
is a gigantic electric spark"

Dummy won with the ten of hearts,
and South took the club ace, next
ruffing a club in dummy. South
ruffed low spade in his own hand,
ruffed a club in dummy, and got
back again with spade ruff. But
now South had only two trumps
left, and East was bound to make
q trump trick to defeat the slam.
Even a pretty green bridge de-
tective will see that South COM
mitted some sort of crime in the
play of the hand. But just what
was the crime, and how should he
have played it? Decide for your
self before reading on.
South's crime consisted in trying
to bring in the long club suit, when
a cross-ruff was more likely to sue
ceed Correct play is to win the
second trick in dummy and cash
at once the two top spades, the
two top clubs and the king of dia-
monds. From then on South could
ruff spades and dummy could ruff
clubs for the rest of the tricks.
South's actual play depended on
a reasonable break in clubs plus a
80 break in trumps. The cross-ruf
needs the reasonable club break
also, but can stand a Al break in

THE GARDENER who wishes
to make the most of every inch
of garden space, must select
flowers that have a dual value,
flowers equally suited for gar
den display and. for cut use.
The sweet pea is hard to use
in the garden picture because it
needs a good circulation of air
for satisfactory growth, yet is
not effective unless shown
against a background, such as
Shrubbery or wall.
GIadioIi
Gladioli are also hard to use
because each plant bears, ordi-
narily, but one stalk of bloom
and if it is cut, there is slight
decorative value left.
On the other hand, the Pc
tuna, while it Is an excellent
display plant. is poorly suited to
cutting because Of its short
stems.
Garden Manager
1t is a poor garden manager
who cuts a bouquet of lilacs or
tulips or peonies with stems so
long that there will be no bloom
the following year or the year
after. For satisfactory results,
garden planning and flower cut
ting should be done by the same
person.

aged to rescue her daughter for at least twothirds
of each year but apparently there one to
intercede for the Baroness because she has not
been seen from that day to this.
And finally, after eating a chicken he later
strongly suspected had been poisoned, the little
dentist Ritter, quietly died.
Deepest mystery shrouded, and still shrouds, al
of these events.
1t was on the heels of Ritter's death that Frau
Dore shook the dust of the South Sea Paradise
from her feet calling it volcanic hell and vowing
never to return
What after all these years, has made her
change her mind?
"Our great work there is unappreciated" the
Batavia dispatch quotes her as saying. So fas as
known most Of the work she did consisted of fight
ING off the assaults of nature and waiting on the
Baroness, neither of which would seem to deserve
the adjective great.
What powerful motive would turn her back to
place where she suffered SO much? Is it perhaps
that she has never ceased 20 hear the rafting Of
the skeetons-rcal ones-in the closet of that dis
enchanted Eden? Does the morbid fascination Of
this sound, which she may hope to exercise by
cleaning out the closet now draw her back?
Or is she perhaps, embarked on some still more
mysterious GRAND? If so, at whose orders The
Baroness Is Crazy Pantes' still carrying on in
some remote corner of the world?
Whatever the answer to these queries may be-
chosen more ticklish time for her return.
Charles Island today probably looks pretty
much it did when she left but in fact it has
undergone a subtle change. 1t and the other islands
which form the Galapagos Archipelago have be-
come strategic points in World War II
They command the Pacific approach to the Pan
anna Canal and recently there have been disturb
ing reports from their neighborhood. Last Septem-
Der a Dutch ship evidently the victim of a German
raider went down in their waters. And Just few
weeks ago foreign submarine was seen nosing
suspicousy about them

just crusader for the simple life But i'm the eyes
OF the world she IS German citizen and this is not
very healthy time for German citizens 20 be head
