West opened the nine of diamonds,
East played the jack, and South
held up his ace. Declarer planned
to hold up his diamond ace until
the third round of the suit. Then,
since he had to develop clubs to
make his contract he would try to
set the suit up without giving the
lead to East The best chance OF
keeping East out was to lead low
club from the South hand and, If
West played low, put up the ace
and return the suit If West had
the king and played it at once, he
would be allowed to hold the trick.
That, as you can see, would have
succeeded-but West saw way to
throw the monkey wrench into the
works.
It was perfectly obvious to West
that dummy's clubs would play an
important part in the making of the
contract and that his king of clubs
was absolutely worthless if South
held the club queen. In that case,
simple finesse would capture the
club king. A club trick could be won
by the defense, however, if East had
the club queen. And then West saw
the danger if his partner had only
one small club with the queen.
East, meanwhile, led the king of
diamonds at the second trick, and
South held up once more. East led
another diamond, and South had
to take his ace. West, at this point,
brilliantly discarded the king of
clubs. And now South had no way
to develop the clubs without giving
the lead to East, and consequently
he failed to make his contract.

Among the interesting trees of
Africa is one called the "baobab."
1t also has the name of monkey
bread tree"
Monkeys like to climb the baobab,
especially since they are able to
make meal from its fruit. The
fruit is their bread" 1t has juice
which people, as well as monkeys,
enjoy.
The baobab is a huge tree. The
height is not so great as that of
redwood trees or Douglas frs, but
sometimes a baobab is taller than
q 12-story building.
The trunk of baobab often is
Of enormous size. 1t may be as much
rs 20 or 80 feet thick.
The limbs of this tree are Won
der to travellers. A limb is likely
to equal the size of the trunk of a
good-sized oak!
Most baobabs grow in the west
central part of Africa. Natives of
that region eat the fruit and also
pound up the leaves to mix them
with their food. Both leaves and
fruit are of value in curing certain
kinds of illness.
Wood of the baobab does not
make good lumber, but the bark
contains strong fibers. The bark

to Bottom In
Red Sea Route

oCAIRO, Sept. Q -(R- The
survivors of the American
merchant steamer, steel sea-
farer, sunk in the Red Sea, were
landed today on the western
coast of the Gulf Of Suez.
They had been picked up by .
British warship. All aboard
were saved.
Reliable British sources said
a long-range German bomber
operating from Greece sank the
vessel.
The survivors were landed
on the coast between the oil
port of Hurghada and Dishet Ell
Tabaa.
The seafarer was attacked
and sunk about midnight Sum
day some 200 miles south Of
Suez.
EGYPT ALERT
Alerts were \ sounded the
same night In northern Egypt
but no bombs were dropped on
Egyptian soil.
In the bright moonlight, the
merchantmen probably was m
easy target.
The steel seafarer was the
second ship attacked in the Red
Sea by Axis aircraft. The first
attack was made some days
ago south of Suez but reliable
sources said the bombed ship
escaped untouched.
The victim of the latest at
tack--the second incident in
less than q week-was the s..
719-ton freighter steel seafarer
which was sent to the bottom
by the bombs of an air raider;
whose nationality was said %
be unknown.
The crew Of the ship--some
20-odd men - escaped with
their lives when she went down
on Sept. Z, the state department
disclosed, but this tact hardly
diminished the gravity with
which the news Of the sinking
was received here last night.

The Prime Minister gave the

in British successes in the past

the Atlantic by fear of trouble
with the powerful American
naval forces which ceaselessIy
patrol the approaches to the
western hemisphere. This has
been a help to US but I wish it
might be a greater help.
"The enemy's tactics may
change. No doubt Hitler would
rather finish off Russia and
Britain before coming to close
quarters with the United States.
Hitler has, however, also the
greatest possible need to prevent
precious munition supplies now
streaming across the Atlantic in
pursuance of the policy of the
United States government from
reaching our shores.
Should he do 80 the area of
danger zones will again become
oceanwide. Meanwhile let US
hear no vain talk of the battle of

third was revealed by workers at
Union Observatory, Johannes
burg, South Africa. The plates
examined by DR.. Luyten were
taken at the Harvard station at
Bloemf0ntein, South Africa.
DR.. Luyten believes one of the
stars to be blue-white and to
have "the remarkable weight Of
possibly $50 tons per cubic inch"
or twice that Of the usual white
dwarf star.
This star" said DR.. Luyten
"is probably Is light years dis
tant from the earth and moving
ut q rate of 40 miles per second.
Another, lying II light years dis
tant, has about the color of the
sun and Is the faintest of the
white dwarf stars now known"
The astronomer believes the
third star "may be rs much -
500 trillion miles away" and has
the ordinary characteristics Of
white dwarfs.
