UNCLE RAYS CORNER

An instrument on the order OF a
fly-swatter had something to do with
starting a war in Algeria. 1t wasn't
the same kind of sWatter we have
over here, but it was the thing which
passes for one in Northern Africa.
A better name for it would be NY
Uhisker," since it is used to wh1Sk
flies out of the way, not to kill them.
On a certain day in 1927 French
consul was talking with the ruler of
Algeria, a hot-headed man named
Deg Hussein. The French then held
trade rights, but did not control the
country
The talk was about certain ship
ments of wheat, and Deg Hussein
grew angry. Raising the 1y-whisker,
he struck the consul with it.
That ended the talk, and the
French consul told his government
what had happened. The govern
ment felt that one of its officials
had been insulted, and a blockade
was declared against Algeria.
Three years passed, and then the
French did more than to blockade
the North African country. An
army was sent there to capture the
city of Algiers.
Algiers was captured 81 days later,
and that was a big step toward
winning Algeria, which at that time
was, in loose way, a part of the
Turkish Empire.

Many readers have asked this
column to discuss the familiar words
ending in -TURE. The dictionary
pronunciation of -ture is confusing"
they say. please clarity it."
In such words as picture, nature,
feature, furniture, temperature,
miniature, literature, etc, the last
syllable has two radically different
recommendations, both of which are
approved by the dictionaries. The
-ture may be pronounced "tyoor" to
rhyme with pure, or cher" to rhyme
with her.

ace, Declarer Immediately led a
low club and finessed dummy s
lack. East won with the club queen
and returned a heart. South took
the heart queen and ran the dia-
monds, but West discarded a club
and two spades and South failed to
guess the spade situation. Eventu-
ally South lost another club trick
and three hearts, down one trick at
the three no-trump contract.
The hand depended on a guess in
one of the two black suits; but, as
North pointed out, there was no
need for South to make an out-and-
out guess when he could put the
pressure on the opponents and take
the guess after noting their reaction.
The hand is very common type"
and It's correct play should be noted
by all who take their game seriously.
Souths best chance, after winning
the heart trick, consists in running
the five diamonds at once. South
need make only one diScard-the low
heart or a low chb-and the oppOn-
ents have to make six discards be-
tween them Certainly South would
be in a better position to guess
after having noted these discards

were made. Nine times out of ten,

 enanee. Leona Jays-Advt
 Bored with dances, bridge and charity bazaars, debutante Leona Jay inserted the above ad in Sum- day newspaper. Within Q few weeks Nhe found herself transported from Park Avenue into the head hunting cannibal country of Dutch New Guinea, on the other side of the world, as packer of hazardous Nlming expedition.
 The pretty and popular prom tFotter who advertised for adven- tlire to make interesting dinner table conversation, married 1t for life when she became the wife of Charles "Cannibal" Miller, head of the expedition, author and camera man.
 Tall tales of adventure, told by O few friends whe had been on Q tramp trip around the world, had prompted her to place the ad- vertisement. From all over the country came hundreds of replies from cranks, con men, adventur- CTS and wisecrackers. A letter from Miller seemed the most promising. Sent for by her lawyer, Miller told of his youth at Dutch military post on the outskirts of New 0uinea's jungle, his World War fiy- ing and subsequent transforming tour of Europe, and the filming of the wild life picture Africa Speaks" WHAT TO WEAR
 IN THE JUNGLE
 Leona's parents protested and Threatened to disown her if she continued her foolhardly plans. AS Q matter of fact, the soft-spoken and thoroughly feminine advent urer is rather reluctant to discuss her pre.expedition life. Her parents, it seems. have never quite forgiven her escapade.
 Born in Illinois, she attended sev- eral schools in Canada, New York and Switzerland, where she never remained for long because of her distaste for regulations. With the help of private tutor, Leona com. pleted her education and made sev- eral trips to Europe to do the mu- seuins, cathedrals and landmarks, in usual tourist style. But the trip to New Guinea, proposed by Miller, was one to put everyone else's to shame.
 Not only could he take Leona to Carnibal headquarters. Miller as- sured the lawyer, but he could make the trip pay for itself by filming their trek into the jungle. That was iaducement enough for the tlar. ing debutante, and she left them to work out the details while she went on Q shopping expedition among Fifth Avenue shops.
 T still blush with shame when I think of the ridiculous outfits I bought for the jungle, the charming Mrs. Miller laughed. "Therc were pastel shorts, sleeveless shirts of
