WHY DISLIKE

Evening star., 1941-03-31

II some one asked me How big
h China?" I could not answer the
question in a few words. To give
. true answer, should need to say
something like this:
Even before the Japanese started
their invasion, it was not easy to
give the size of China. There was
China proper, also much land which
has been classed as being in China
but which was more or less inde-
pendent. Such land included Tibet
and Mongolia.
"Manchuria used to be in China
proper The Japanese have taken
it away.
Not counting Manchuria, the
area of China proper is about one
and half million square miles. 1t
II almost half the size of Canada
and is a little more than half as
large as the United States.
"If we count all the lands which
have been classed as belonging in
modern China, the area goes above
100000 square miles. This is
more then the area of the United
States and Mexico together
China proper is settled very
thickly. 1t contains more than twice
as many people as there are in all
of North America.
People! That is what China has!
II a bridge existed at the equator
clear around the earth, the Chinese
standing in rows of 10 persons
each. with the rows three feet

has been valued as working dog

with very short legs so that it could
work its way easily into and out Of

The dachshund is affectionate,
playful, intelligent and courageous.
The sleek, short coat does not shed,

Young shoots of the plant are
cooked and eaten, and the stems
are made into stems and poles.
(How many millions of bamboo
fishpoles have been used on this
side of the PacificD
Bamboo is claSsed as a certain
kind of grass. Some kinds grow to
a height of less than 10 feet. Other
kinds shoot up to heights of 100
feet or more. Sometimes the stalk
has a width of only half an inch,
but in other cases 1t Is more than
q foot thick.
The Chinese split bamboo stems
into narrow strips and work the
strips into mats. ropes and sandals.
They also build bamboo ladders.
Perhaps the strangeSt use of
bamboo is for water pipes. The
stem makes a tube when the thin
partitions at the joints are taken
out.

Pass
Vests automatic" lead would
have been a diamond-and South
would have won. drawn trumps
and lost only a club and two hearts.
The automatic lead, therefore.
would have given South the game
and rubber.
But West thought before leading
His partner had run" from the
double of one heart and had rebid
diamonds later on. That sounded
like long diamonds and very short
hearts-the key to the best defense.
On this reasoning West opened
the ace of hearts and followed with
the three of hearts. East ruffed, as
expected. and correctly read the
choice of Vests lowest heart as in
dicating an entry in the lowest suit.
East therefore returned club to
VESTS ace and got another heart
ruff to defeat the contract.
Note that if West had held the
ace of diamonds instead of the ace
of clubs he would have led the ten
or jack of hearts at the second trick.
And the high heart would indicate
an entry in the higher of two side
suits.
