ROBINSON PINS
FIRST KNOCKOUT

Harlem Hitter Has Five
Bouts Ahead; Stopped

United Press STAN Correspondent
New York, March 21.-(UP)-Ray

Norman Rubio his Jumps last night

Srneared Rubio, Manager Curt Horr-
mann announced a series of five

Unquestionably the slender, hard

to win all five after his brilliant
showing last night as he extended
his record winning streak to 118 con-
secutive amateur and professional
victories. He'll be favored also to
lick Champion Freddie Cochrane If
he ever can entice Freddie into the

Rubio-a game, awkward "cluh

tie, but he lacked the weapons to
cope with 21-year-old Robinson'S

punches. Rubio's bulling attack
took the first and fifth rounds by
narrow margins, but never was there
any question that the bout would
end before the scheduled IL rounds

UNCLE RAYS CORNER
Answer 70 Yesterdays Puzzle

What distance we have travelled
since the parachute was invented!
In early days, hundreds of years
ago, there were devices on the order
Of parachutes. Their purpose was
to help man jump from the top of
q tower and land safely on the
ground.
A French inventor made a para
chute, and said it was meant for
leap from an upper story Of burn
ing building. 1t was on the order
Of an umbrella.
Today we have parachutes which
are meant for safety. Yet there
is no thought Of leaping with them
from burning buildings. Aviators
make their jumps from airplanes
which may be several miles high.
Also, in tine of war, we have para
chute troops" Of which I shall say
more tomorrow.
Let no one who reads about early
umbrella parachutes" try to make
a big downward leap with the help
Of an umbrella! Such an action
would bring injury If no more. An
ordinary umbrella will turn inside
out in a hurry If it is placed under
strain. Many a person has found
that out when he let his umbrella
be caught in brisk wind.
Early inventors knew the danger
Of a common umbrella, or parasol,
turning inside out. So they made
the ribs extra strong and placed

MORE should never be spoken of
as "moe-RAY" or "mwah-RAY."
The correct pronunciation of the
noun is as I originally gave it:
MWAHR.
The readers who disagree with me
have been confused by the adjec-
tive MORE, spelled with an acute
accent accent aigu over the "e.'
The adjective is pronounced mwah-
RAY; but it obviously is a departure
from good grammar to use an ad-
jective for a noun. Moreover, the
New Wehster's page 1870 plainly
states that the adjective mwah-
RAY is used enormously for MORE
(mwahr) the fabric. My previous
release was correct in every detail.
What Is the Origin?

expressive If overworked phrase.

"The most mysterious thing about
the bidding was Vests pass at the
end. His take-out double was I'M
sound, OF course, but he could have
saved himself by bidding two hearts.
But somehow or other he smelled
a rat and passed. He followed his
bunch by leading the singleton
trump and South made only his ace
kings In spades, hearts and clubs.
THE result was a loss Of 400
points instead of cold vulnerable
slam at diamonds! Who was most
to blame for this swing of 1000

1t was Norths fault. 1t IS
theoretically possible for a player
to redouble when void of his part
ner's suit. but we have never seen
the situation arise. In order to
make up for the possible loss of
many trumps you need high cards
in all of the remaining suits to make
sure that the side suits will provide
the tricks necessary for the con-
tract.
North should have jumped to
three diamonds. Such jump shows
a strong hand with no fit at all
for spades. with fit North could
afford to redouble first and bid his
suit later on South would bid
four clubs and North would go to
four diamonds. Then South should
bid six diamonds. relying on North

Parachute

People in general became inter-
ested in the parachute. To meet
this interest, certain ballonists rose
to great heights and then showed
crowds how the parachute worked"
The custom was to send up a bal
loon with perhaps two men in the
basket. Below the basket was a
parachute, and under the parachute
was another basket, a small one.
At the proper moment the men
in the upper basket would cut the
cords above the parachute, and it
would fall.
One famous, but unhappy, para
chute leap was made by Robert
Cooking, an Englishman. He built
a parachute of somewhat differ
ent type than had been used before.
On July day in 1887 he was cut
free from a balloon which had
risen to a height of one mile. The
parachute crumpled, and he fell to
his death.
