Answer TO Yesterdays Puzzle
UNCLE RAYS CORNER

The Island of Martinique is made
up largely of mountains which were
thrown up by volcanoes.
A volcano makes mountain bit
by bit. Lava and ashes come out
Of hole in the ground. and build
up hill. Later eruptions add solid
material to the hill, and in the
course of time 1t grows into a
mountain.
The largest city on the island,
st. Pierre, was located near the
volcano known as Mount Pelee. The
people supposed it was dead VOL
cano until 1902. Early in that year
1t showed signs of life.
Sulphur in the air and the quak-
ing of the ground did not put the
city in great fear. Even a small
eruption failed to make the people
flee.
Then came the fatal day-the
9th of May. Out of the crater of
the volcano came mass of smoke
and flames, and the wind carried it
toward the city. A vast amount of
deadly gas was swept into st. Pierre.
Quickly the gas took the lives of
the people in the city. 1t appears
to have killed every person who
breathed it. Within a few minutes,
st. Pierre became a tomb. Almost
every person there-about 28,000-
died. A man in Jail was saved be-
cause no fresh air came into his cell
Evening star., 1941-01-10
Jail Saved Man in Disaster

at st. Pierre, but about $4,000 other
people in Martinique died as a result
of the eruption.
That was the end, or almost the
end, of St. Pierre. Its people were
gone, and there were few who cared
to try living there after the eruption.
Some of the houses had been burned
down, and most of those which
were left standing were allowed to
fall to ruin in the years which
followed.
Eighteen years later a traveller
made this note about st. Pierre as
he found it then:
1T is little more than a fishing
village. There are frail wooden
houses along the sea coast. The
stone wharves of the old city are
strewn with broken, rusted lamp
posts. From the beach to the noun
tain wall behind, dark gray lava
dust covers the soil"

West opened the jack of diamonds,
and South properly played low from
the dummy. 1t was obvious that
West didn't have the diamond ace,
and South saw no reason to waste
his chance to win trick with
dummys diamond king. East took
the diamond ace and returned a
low trump, West winning the flnesse
with the heart king.
West returned the ten of dia-
monds, and once more low card
was played from the dummy. Souths
careful diamond play was rewarded
when East ruffed; for now South
had no further diamond losers. East
thought for a while and then re-
turned his last trump, South win
ming with the ace.
Reserving the intricate squeeze
in case the sWindle failed, South
made his first try for the hand by

foolish. But he felt even more
foolish when he put up the club

that it's much simpler to put the
opponents to the guess than to do
the guessing yourself.

WOMEN WHO QUIT JOBS TO GET

FOR BENEFITS

When the 10000 Montana employers
report their contributions to the Mon
tana unemployment compensation
commission for the first quarter OF
1871, due by April 30, they win find
a number Of changes in reporting pro-
cedureS. Barclay Craighead, chairman
OF the commission said.
These changes are the result Of
amendments made to the Montana un-
employment compensation law by the
legislature and approved by Gov. Sam
c. Ford.
For the calendar quarter beginning
Jan. !, 194l, employers Will make con-
trtbutions upon the wages they have
paid during the quarter, rather than
upon the wages which their employees
have earned during that time. Here
tofore. contributions have been re-
quired on wages earned during quar-
ter, whether or not such wages were
actually paid within the quarter.
Unemployment benefits on earnings
since Jan also will be figured upon
the amount Of wages a worker has
received during the respective quar-
ters. rather than upon the wages due
him for work during such quarters.
Another amendment to the law pro-
vides for the exemption of contribu-
tions on that part of annual salaries
in excess of $1,000. Each employer who
pays an employe more than $4,000 dur
ing a calendar year is required to pay
contributions upon such salary until
that amount has been reached. then
further contributions by that employer
on wages to that employe will not be
required for the balance of the year.
The commission Is authorized to file
liens against real and personal prop
erty of employers, who are so days de-
linquent in contributions
The provisions Of the law exempt |
ing contributions on wages for domes- {
tic service, agricultural labor and for
service with various governmental
agencies has not been changed
Other provisions Of the amendments (
exempt contributions upon domestic /
employees Of college clubs, fraternities
and sororities and upon employees OF
Wildlife and anglers clubs.
Many employees are also affected by
changes in the law. In addition to all
tering waiting week procedures, the
law denies unemployment compensa-
ton benefits to students attending
school, to brides who voluntarily leave
their employment TO get married, to
claimants who are receiving govern
mental old age payments and claim
ants receiving industrial accident /
New contribution forms and instruc-
ions have been mailed to employers

amended has been printed and Is avail

Local milk supplies were nearly ex-

locomotive breakdown stranded 140
members of the 36th bombardment

hours.
The breakdown occurred when the
locomotive threw the rim of one Of
its drivers. Since there was no dining
car on the train, the soldiers, enroute
from Denver to their new station In
Alaska, faced the alternatives of go
ing hungry or foraging for breakfast.
Officers solved the difficulty tenn
porarily by buying all available milk
