ported today the insured mortgage

Protective Paint Coot
Helps Preserve MetoI

Protecting metal parts with
finishing material Is vitality i'm
portant, since unprotected repairs
rust, and corrosion would render
useless such repairs in a very short
time. A relatively small amount Of
finishing materials will preserve re-
pairs to various exposed metal parts.
For example. tenders and other
sheet metal parts can be repaired
many times when preserved by q
protective coating, and result in the
conservation Of metal to manufac-
ture thousands Of such replacement
parts for essential war requirements.

Paint to Ease Fuel Shortooe

II wartime fuel shortages reduce
normal temperatures in homes,
ofIices and factories this coming
winter, painting of interiors in warm
tints may measurably reduce the
hardship. Faber Birren, writing on

The effect is psychological, but it is

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Hand written books of the Mid
die Ages often contain queer pic
lures. One such picture was found
in the university library at Cam
bridge, England. 1t shows ':phoe-
nix" and the bird is supposed to
be burning itself in its nest of
spices"
The name phoenix" is pro-
nounCed "FEE-nicks" There never
was a real bird such as the one I
shall describe. but people of Egypt
used to believe there was
Here is a story of the phoenix
as it might have been told to you
if YOU had lived in ancient Egypt:
The phoenix is holy bird with
red and gold feathers. 1t makes
its home in Arabia but comes to
Egypt once every 500 years.
81 Being 500 years of age. it is old
and ready to die So it makes nest
of sweet-smelling myrrh and gets
inside. Then it flaps its golden
wings and sets the nest aflre.
The holy bird burns up, but from
the ashes comes new life, new
phoenix! This bird sings beau
tiful song to greet the rising sun.
Then 1t flies away to Arabia and
stays away for 500 years"
That is one form OF the story.
As the years passed, there were
changes in certain parts of the tale.
For example. some storytellers said

Names in the News

POPOCATEPETL isn't exactly a
name in the news, but it is name
that is garbled in a popular song.
Popocatepetl is large, dormant
volcano near Mexico City The
name is from the Aztec popoca, Ito
smoke" and tepetl. mountain" D."
Mexicans generally use the affec-
tionate diminutive "Popo.' but no
Mexican would pronounce the name
as it is heard in the song, thus:
POE-puh-K h-KAT-uh-
1t is to be regretted that, before
the song was released, the correct
pronunciation of the name was not
ascertained, for the rhythm of the
song is such that it is impossible for

South easily made 13 tricks and
regretted only that ne had stopped
at a small slam, but we venture to
sav that most players would have
stopped at game. For most players
would have misunderstood North's
lump to four spades as command
to stop bidding.
But how illogical that would be!
Each opponent has had a chance to
bid, and each has passed; hence
what advantage would there be in
shutting them out of further bid
ding? Furthermore. remember that
If North bids only three spades, he
risks a pass by South. Such Jump
is not forcing bid; it is only high
ly invitational, unlike the Jump
raise of an opening bid.
In this case. North could see
good play for game even II South
had only four or five spades to the
queen. Therefore, he took no
chance of missing a game, but bid
four spades at once. And South,
with considerably more than his
spade strength, properly explored
slam possibilities, jumping right to
slam the moment he discovered that
diamonds were not wide open.

that any jump to game is a COM

one or two situations in which you
Jump to game in suit to shut the
enemy out rather than show great
strength, and then you want your

Capper Suggests Hoover
As Henderson Successor

Appointment of Herbert Hoover
to succeed Leon Henderson as
Price Administrator was suggested
yesterday by Senator Capper, Re-
publican, of Kansas, in a radio
address.
The Kansan said there will be
more rationing in l943 than anyone
expected few months ago, but de-
clared there is need for a more
sane and sensible program of price
control and rationing than the
cumbersome, complex, and I be-
lieve unavoidable. system devised by
the smart young men under Mr..
Henderson"
Although suggesting former Presi-
dent Hoover for the task, the KAN
sas Senator said he expected the
new price administrator will be
someone more or less committed
to Mr.. Henderson's program of
setting up and trying to administer
price ceilings on thousands OF
items at literally hundreds of thou
sands of different prices"
Senator Capper denied that MEM
bers of Congress from the Mid
West had been "out looking for Mr..
Henderson's scalp but said it was

direction was doing that Farm State
