1t wasn't the effect of salt water but
lack of space in The Republican this
week that causes the shortness of
this column.
Many weeks, we'll admit, there has
been a shortage of "gas" to fill up a
column. This week we have the gas
but no space, and if Secretary Ickes
sees what I've said and thinks l mean
gasoline, I'll have some explaining 20
do for not cooperating.
During the week at the beach I
gargled enough salt water to cure my
sore threats for the next eight months,
but | didn't swallow any in spite of ad-
vice from some of my companions
that salt water is the "cure for all
ills" both inside and outside. I'll take
their word for that.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

There is something about anger
which may cost a man dearly.
When he loses his temper, he may
lose other things as well.
Today I shall tell of a prince
whose anger cost him a throne and
his life as we'll I am thinking
of Prince Cyrus the Younger of
Persian, who hired 1900 Greeks
to help him fight rebellion against
his half brother, King Artaxerxes.
Along with the Greek soldiers,
Cyrus had something like $4,000
Persians. The battle which might
have won a throne was fought at
Cunaxa, beside the Euphrates River.
The Persian King had force of
far larger size There was a re-
port that it contained "a million
men," but the actual number prob
ably was closer to a quarter of a
million.
Cyrus was a clever leader, and
managed the plans for the battle
with skill. If he had kept out of
the actual fighting, it seems very
likely that he would have obtained
the throne he wanted so much.
An old Persian custom had been
set aside when his half-brother
was given the throne. The half
brother had placed Cyrus under ar
rest and had kept him a prisoner
for three years.
Early in the battle the forces Of
Evening star., 1941-02-18

West opened the king Of clubs,
and dummy took the ace. South
knew he would lose only one dia-
mond trick, for the bidding marked
West with the diamond ace. But
club and heart also had to be lost,
and there was some chance that
trump trick also would go to the
enemy.
If South had been able to see all
the cards he'd have known that
trump fnesse was necessary. But
suppose West held only one heart
and two spades headed by the
queen? He'd bid the same way, and
then the trump f1nesse would lose
the contract. South could be pretty
sure that West had 10 cards in the
minor suits, but how could he tell
how the three major-suit cards were
split?
The method was simple: South
did a little investigating before he
started the trumps. At the second
trick, he led a heart to the king
and returned a low heart toward
the dummy. If West had no more
hearts, he could ruff; but then dunn
my would play a low heart, and
South would have lost nothing. Ac-
tually, of course, West followed suit,
and South then knew that West
held at most one trump. After that
investigation it vas easy to cash the
spade ace and then finesse through
East's queen.
