These pangs start as soon as
the stomach is empty-four to

THE worst enemy of sleep is
Il residual excitement from

How can YOU sleep with such

THE wonder is" he replied,
that my creditors can sleep"

WASHINGTON, Dee %
W Herr GoebbelS spoke OF the
tense situation regarding textile
supplies and Limited nutrition
IN encirclcd Nazidom. He did
not tell the half Of It.
The other half can now be
disclosed with the authority and

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Nine hundred years ago princes
and mobiles of Europe lived in great
castles. Many of these had stone
walls, and in some places the walls
were from 10 to IL feet thick.
Around many castles were broad
bitches, and where possible the
bitches were kept filled with water.
They were known as "moats." and
their purpose was to help keep of
enemies who might come to at
tack.
Over the moatS were draw
bridges for people to use in going
in and out of the castle grounds in
times of peace. When there was
war the drawbridges were lifted.
and soldiers stood on the walls
ready to shoot arrows at enemy
troops if an attempt was made to
cross the moat
Nature gave Great Britain a
moat between herself and the main
land. The island is fairly close to
the continent of Europe. but it is
cut off by the English Channel.
The English Channel is about $50
miles long and at one point is sep
arated from the French coast by
140 miles of water. The widest part
is between Sidmouth, England, and
St. Malo, France
The average width of the Chan
mel is 10 miles. There is a narrow
place, with width of only 81
miles, across the Strait of Dover.
On the English side of the Strait
Evening star., 1941-02-12
-EnoIish Channel Is Mout

The Channel is not extremely
deep. In some places the depth is
from 300 to 375 feet, but there are
other places where the water goes
down less than 100 feet.
One shallow part is below the
Strait of Dover. When steamers
cross that section they meet even
more "choppy" water than is usual
in crossing elsewhere from England
to France.
Plans have been talked about to
cut a tunnel under the Strait of
Dover and in that way to join
France and England. The idea was
not carried out before the present
war, and only time can tell whether
such a tunnel ever will come to be.
Fast airplanes can cross narrow
parts of the English Channel in
four or five minutes. Hitler Oh
tanned big help for attacks on
Great Britain when France gave up
her coast to him.

West opened the six Of hearts.
and South wished he hadn't overbid
so much. But. as though he hadn't
care in the world. he fineSSed dunn
mys heart jack. East took the king
of hearts and went into long hud-
die Certainly. he reasoned South
must be void of spades to bid the
slam and lose the first trick so
blithely South must therefore have
lot of diamonds: so East returned
q trump to prevent South from ruff
Ing too many diamonds in the
dummy.
All of this reasoning was bit
silly for the simple reason that South
undoubtedly knew the location of
the spade ace So if South had no
spades. he would ruff out the ace
and set up dummy's long suit. Easts
only real chance was to lay down
the spade ace and hope for the best;
defeated the slam.
What actually happened was much
more interesting. When East re-
turned trump. South heaved
sigh Of relief and ran all six trumps.
Dummy discarded a diamond and
three spades. but East found himself
in trouble. He came down to the
lone ace of spades and three dia-
monds. but dared not make any
further discards in those suits. so
had to discard a second heart.
Thereupon South led his heart to
cash three heart tricks in the dunn
my. and the last heart trick squeezed
East once more
