UNCLE RAYS CORNER

If you had lived in Greece 2,421
years ago, you would have heard
about man named Xerxes. His
name was pronounced "ZURK-
sees" and he was the ruler of the
Persian empire.
xerxes had been left a big en-
pire by his father. 1t included
Persia, Babylonia and Egypt, but
he was not content. He wanted to
be king of the world" and felt he
could not have that honor unless
he conquered the Greeks.
The Greeks looked upon them
selves as free people" They did
not care to fall under the power of
any foreign ruler. Several years
before, they had whipped a Per-
sian army which had invaded
Greece. They had won the battle
Of Marathon, and had kept their
freedom.
Down in Egypt, a revolt took
place, but the soldiers of XerXes
put 1t down. From that time on
ward the Egyptians we're ruled
HloIe HdI SHY ClldIl UelOIe.
When the Greeks learned that
Xerxes was making ready to invade
their land, it was bad news to
them. They did not know just
how strong the foe would prove,
but they felt sure the Persians
would come in large numbers.
For three years, Xerxes mustered
his forces. He gathered a mighty
feet and huge army. The fleet
was made up largely of vessels
taken from Phoenicia and Egypt.
On spring day Xerxes left

Persian Kinq Burned Athens

Greeks under Leonidas, a Spartan
king, gave up their lives while try
ing to hold back the invaders.
The army of XerXes then
marched toward Athens. Many of
the Athenians fed from the city
to islands off the nearby coast.
One of these islands was Salamis.
Athens was captured and was
set aflre. Among the buildings
destroyed were several temples.
At this point it looked as though
the Persians might make them
selves masters of all Greece. There
remained, however, many Greek
Warships, and Xerxes felt they
should be put out of the way be-
fore he went on with his land
campaign. The Persian fleet was
ordered to attack the Greeks in the
waters between the island of Sala-
mis- and the mainland. Xerxes sat
on his throne on the shore, so he
would have a 'grandstand seat"
while watching what he thought
would be the defeat of the Greek
Navy.

Evening star., 1941-02-03

We agree with North. An opening
two-bid should guarantee at least
half of the high-card strength in the
deck, largely to guard against just
the sort of mishap which took place
in this hand. Fine players all rec
ognize that a large part of the bur-
den in slam bidding after an open
ing two-bid rests on the weak hand.
The strong hand shows nearly all his
strength in the opening bid Of two;
It is up to his partner TO judge
whether or not his support is suff1-
cient to carry on to slam.
The actual South player was, of
course, correct in assuming that
game was possible if North held as
little as the jack Of diamonds. But
that fact did not make it necessary
for her to open with two-bid. If
we assume that North has a blank
hand except for the jack of dia-
monds, how likely is it that neither
East nor West will be able to make
o bid, and that an opening bid of
one spade will therefore be passed
out? A moments reflection will
show that chance is so negligible as
to be disregarded. We think South
must accept the responsibility for
the losing slam because of the un-
wise two-bid

Commanding Gen. Giues
Version OF Difficulty

CAMP ROBINSON, Ark. =
(ANP)-Majcr Gen. Robert C.
Richardson, Jr., commanding
general of the seventh army
corps and in charge Of the SOL
diers in this area where difficult
ties arose between members of
the Gath engineers, people Of the
town of Gurdon and state police,
last week, gave a personal ac-
count of the occurrence and as
surance that the rights of the
men would be protected, in an
interview granted to the Associ-
ated Negro Press this Saturday.
Gen. Robinson. who put his views
on paper, said:
: "A full investigation of the
matter disclosed that few of the
soldiers of the oath engineers
were alleged to have conducted
themselves in a rowdy manner
in the town of Gurdon, cursing
some of the white inhabitants.
This action engendered much i'll
feeling en- the part of the white
inhabitants.

one Of the men swearing at peo-
pie passing automobiles. On
the other hand, the state police
were unduly excited in handling
the situation. At conference,
that was held in my headquart-
ers, matters were satisfactorily
arranged and a thorough under
standing of the rights of the SOL
dlers and the treatment that was
to be accorded them by the con-
stituted authorities emphasized.
"Since that date there has
been no trouble whatsoever.
Some Of the soldiers of the Gath
engineers were apprehensive
that they might become involved
in further difficulties with the
people of Gurdon, and summarily
left the canScnment without
permission. They should be urged
to return to their military com
mand, as they have committed
military offense. / can assure you
that their rights are being we'll
protected by the military authori-
ties. On the other hand, they will
be required to conform to the
proper standards demanded of all
soldiers in their relations with the
civilian inhabitants"

that county could compel some

stated that he was not afraid to

Homestead Heights, Jackson's First
ALL 0lored FILA Subdivision, Presents
Outstanding Construction Features

Of much interest to those pro-
spective home owners who have
already consulted Reid-McGee and
Company regarding the purchase
Of a hone in Homestead Heights,
Jackson's first FILA all colored
subdivision, are the number of
outstanding new features being
added to the construction of the
houses now being built in the de-
velopment.
The feature which has attracted
the most favorable comments are
the asphalt lille floor of the kit
chen. the built-in bath tub and
hardwood floor in living room and
bed room Each house is also
equipped with electric chime door
bells.
These features add both to the
beauty and permance of the houses
and have been added by the com .
pany at considerable cost, but with
no increase in cost to the buy
er.
Another feature to be appreci-
ate by those who buy homes in
Homestead Heights is the building
restrictions which limits the type
of structure, such as garages and
other houses to be built that might
tend to mar the beauty of the de-
velopment.
In the construction of the houses
each house will be of a different
design so as to present to the ap-
pearance suggesting the quarters
types of development practiced in
most instances with respect to
colored homes.
With the property being de-
veloped solely for home owners
Homestead Heights offers, in adj
dition to the above 1920 years in
