UNCLE RAYS CORNER

The capital of Turkey has two
names-Ankara and Angora. In
present-day news dispatches, the
name usually Is given as Ankara,
but point out the name "Angora"
for a reason.
Goats have been raised in the
region around the city of Angora
Cor Ankara) for many hundreds Of
years, and have been given spe-
cial name. They are known as "An-
CORA goats"
The earliest Angora goats seem
to have come from Central Asia
They grazed on the highlands Of
Tibet, and were guarded from cold
weather by their long, thick hair.
Travellers found these long-haired
goats, and certain of the animals
were bought and carried away.
Some were taken to Turkey, and in
that country were given their pres
ent-day name.
Angora goats have found their
way to the New World. They are
q popular breed in some parts of
the United States, and many are
raised in Australia and South Africa
The Angora goat is called wool

the sound of "kaw'' as in cough; it

-Anqoru Goat Used for MohoiI

The fleece OF an Angora goat
usually weighs from two to five
pounds. Now and then, however, q
single fleece has a weight OF 10 to
IL pounds.
The fleece can be used in making
several kinds Of fine cloth. The fab
ric known as mohair is made from
1t, and this explains why the An
CORA goat also goes by the name Of
"mohair goat"
The Cashmere goat Is another
kind with a woolly coat. 1t is q
native of the mountain state in
India called Cashmere (also spelled
'Kashmir'o. In this case the un-
dercoat of wool is extremely soft.
1t is employed in making the ia

twelfth trick Also to be considered
was the possibility Of an end-play.
If the player who had the fourth
diamond also had the club king, it
might be, possible to put him in the
lead with the fourth round of dia-
monds in such a position that he
had to lead away from the king of
clubs.
But South rejected this plan for
two reasons. First, there was little
less than an even chance that the
player who had the majority of the
diamonds would also have any other
specific card (Such as the club king,
while there was exactly an even
chance to find the club king in the
West hand. And, second, even if the
were in the same hand, that oppo-
nent might wriggle out Of the end

nothing. He could take the two high
diamonds, after drawing trumps,
and ruff a third diamond in the
