UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Mexico and Central America have
plants which have caused wide
spread interest among travellers.
Buds have been taken to other lands.
and have grown into plants in hot
houses.
Century plant" is the popular
name Of this product of Nature.
The century plant name arose
from a story that the plant came
to blossom after it had lived for
100 years. The truth is that it
seldom. If ever, has reached such
an age.
In its native homeland. the plant
flowers in to 10 years. If it is in
good soil. In northern parts, where
the weath is not so warm. it grows
for many years-sometimes from so
10 70-before it has its flowers.
During most of its life the century
plant is not extremely tall although
1t may rise to a height greater than
that of man. In this period, 1t has
large leaves but only a very short
central flower stalk.
The leaves may be from 5 to 7
FEET long, and have jagged edges.
One leaf may weigh from 10 to Is
pounds.
The leaves can be cut into slices
and used for cattle feed. We are

-Four diamonds went for ride
of 1,400 points: and you should
have heard what North said about
my bidding! MY opening bid was
unsound he complained: I should
have passed on the second round.
and I should have bid four spades
rather than let him stay in four
diamonds II was a little self-con-
Trajectory, but what should l have
done?"
The opening bid was sound as a
whistle. Many fine players refuse
to pass such a hand in any posi-
tion; certainly any good player
would bid it third-hand. The trou-
BILE really began with Norths bid
of three diamonds. He knew there
was no fit for spades and that there
would be serious trouble if South
had no fit for diamonds. He should
have passed, knowing that South
would rebid if he had a good hand;
and If South had poor hand, the
sooner North-South got out of the
auction the better.
But South made a psychological
error when he bid three spades.
Knowing that North was dub, he
should have feared that North had
made an unsound bid and. further
more, that North might refuse to
give up If given another chance
The chances are that three dia-
monds, undoubled. would have been
the Anal contract, and that would
have cost North-South only 400
points. The actual catastrophe was
the cumulative effect of one un-
wise rebid by South and two bad
bids by North.

a juice or sap comes out There is
great deal of this juice. and it
contains a rare form of sugar.
After being allowed to stand, the
sweet juice turns sour and becomes
the drink called "pulque." Pulque
looks something like thin butter
milk. It's taste has been compared
to that of rotten eggs. but many
Mexicans drink it in large amounts.
After the passing of years, the
short central stalk of a century
plant suddenly begins to grow. As
the days 60 by, it rises with such
speed as to make us think Of Jacks

The stalk may rise to q height of

Met Their Masters

NEW YORK. July 30.-Josei
Stains powerful Red armies to-
day were hurting their weight
against the Germans in a new
series of counter attacks as the
Russo German war went into its
thirty ninth day, the longest
period for which any army has
withstood the Nazi blitzkrieg.
Pointing to the capitulation of
France in SO days of fighting and
the even more rapid collapse of
other nations, a Moscow COM
muniue jubilantly declared that
the Germans at last have met
their masters.
British military experts, more
cautious in their appraisal of the
situation than the Russians, hailed
Red successes in holding off the
Maxi blitz troops and agreed there
is no sign of an impending break
UP in the Russian forces.
For the first time since Adolf
Hitler sent his legions whirling
into Poland, ii was declared in
London, the Germans are in i'm
minent danger, not only of being
stopped, but of being driven back
in a major counter-offensive.
Attack at Smolensk
Russian troops wer e reported
driving forward in a fast-moving
counter attack against the Ger
mans both south of Smolensk and
in the Zhitomir sector, southwest
of Kiev

Germans were being forced out of
their established defensive posi-
tons at both points, and are at

Berlin, admitting powerful Rus
sian counter-attacks. said the
moves were desperate effort to

have been driven off with heavy
losses, but the German commune
que claimed no new gains /.
Admit Latvia Fighting
Al story of German victory in
Latvia, carried by the official
Berlin news agency, DNB, sur
prised neutral observers, since
Berlin long ago claimed that all
Russian troops had been driven
out of Latvia, and it was believed
generally that the Red defense
lines had been re-drawn to the
east Of the Latvian border.

hilation of two Red divisions il
