UNCLE RAYS CORNER

We hear a great deal about the
fungles of Africa, but not much
about the mountains. Africa is not
very strongly supplied with noun
tains. The so-called Dark Con-
tinent' has vast stretches of desert.
heavy forests and deep jungles, but
not q great number Of high peaks.
Yet Africa does have some noun
tains, and among them are few
great peaks. The tallest mountain
IS Kilimanjaro.
Kilimanjaro is in the east-central
part of Africa. Although it is not
far from the equator, it has snow on
the top the year around.
) The mountain can be seen clearly
from a distance of so miles. 1t
has two peaks, and both OF them
have glaciers around the top.
when snow falls on the ground at
the equator, there is just one way to
explain it. The ground is high,
and the air around it is cold.
That is the case of Kilimanjaro.
One of the peaks is bit more than
81, miles high. The other one is
well over 31s miles in height.
The taller. of the two peaks is
known as Kibo. It is the highest
point IN all Africa.
Evening star., 1942-02-16

have peaks which are thousands OF
feet higher than Kibo.
The two peaks Of Kilimarjaro are
the craters of q volcano. The volcano
has not exploded in modern times,
SO far as there is any record to show.
The crater which belongs to Kibo
has a depth of $50 feet.
There is a heavy crust Of ice
around the rim of both craters. In
side the craters we find close packed
snow.
/ If the volcano breaks loose ut some
future time, there will be mixing Of
hot and cold things, in and around
the craters. A heavy eruption would
very likely melt large parts OF the
glaciers.

Playing Sofe

1t is not strictly true that good
player never risks his contract for
the sake of trying for an extra trick
The game contract is worth about
20 times as much as the overtrick,
SO it's good percentage" to try for
the overtrick whenever there Is less
than one chance in 20 OF losing the
game. The same reasoning indicates
that it's all right to risk a slam for
an overtrick when there Is less than
one chance in SO of losing the slam.
Those figures don't mean much
unless you have an accurate idea
of what is likely to be a 2O-to-1 or a
50-to-1 gamble Don't count on
illnesses, because the odds against
losing even four illnesses are only
is to l. It's about 20 to l against
finding two very bad suit breaks,
and about so to l against finding
three very bad suit breaks-not
average bad breaks, mind you, but
very bad breaks.

ana Mr.. LlghCner, playing the South
hand. refused to flnesse the queen.
Instead, he played the ace, drew
trumps and took the spade finesse.
East took the spade king and the
diamond king, then attacked clubs.
But Mr.. Lightner won with the club
ace, cashed the spade jack. and
entered dummy with trump to dis
card a club on the ace of spades.
He thus lost one spade, one diamond
and one club, making his contract.
Note that he would have lost his
game by taking the diamond finesse.
East would win and switch to clubs,
getting in with the spade king in
time to cash two club tricks. It's
true that the game was in danger
only if both the diamond and spade
illnesses lost, but that was too big a

Sheep for Sleep

A nation lulled to sleep is in a bad
way, as has been amply demon
strated by modern history, and yet
nation without sleep cannot win
war. The sleep, of course, has to be
in the right place at the right time;
not at the planning desk or lathe
in daylight, but in the home at
night. The cure for the former is
discharge, and for the latter is often
sheep-hordes of sheep, following
each other over hurdles until the
counter gets dizzy and drops into
slumber. This is all very well if the
Would-be sleeper can visualize these
animals, but he cannot always do so,
in which case he is unable to take
the nap
1t is for these unfortunates that
Mr.. Greenwood Of Pueblo, Colorado,
sheepishly applied for a patent on a
new device, disk with a picture
OF a sheep on it, to be revolved by
thumb and made to jump hurdle.
Inc rnythmlcal movement OF the
thumb, like that of an unsuccessful
hitchhiker on busy thoroughfare,
blends with the monotonous per-
formance of the sheep to cause such
sheer boredom that the operator has
to doze off in self defense. The de-
vice is not perfect; there are cases
too tough for it, such as that of the
mother of seven small children who
ask for a drink of water an average
of three times per child per night.
She needs vacation, not a sheep,
but for others who could really use
sheep, yet lack the ability to con-
jure them up, it is great invention
and should save them many sheep
less night.

the birth of Christ has meant to the
world under any and all circumstances
is so self-evident, that every generation
has acknowledged it. No matter how
great the ills Of life, no matter how stern
its trials or its misfortunes, the Christ
mas spirit that was born in humility of
circumstances long centuries ago, still
lays hold of the hearts of men and fills
them with the hope of better things to
come.
Little wonder is it that the genius OF
artists and craftsmen, or poets and mu-
slcians have been engaged in attempting
to interpret the deep meaning of Mary
and the Child of Bethlehem. Nothing
that our world needs today is more
urgent or more necessary than that
which this story unfolds. 1t comes TO
homes throughout the land and indeed
through the world, where the JOY CT this
gladstone season is tempered by the alb
sence Of loved ones far away. 1t comes to
other homes over whose hearthstone
deep shadows have fallen these recent
months and years. 1t comes to those
whose lives have been embittered by hard
and untoward experiences 1t comes to
the old and the young, to those who are
beginning their pilgrimage and those
WHO are nearing the sunset of life. To
every enc, no matter what the present or
the future holds in store, it gives the
promise OF a new and reborn world where
selfshness and pain and sorrow shall
give place TO that for which the Christ
Child came-more of kindness more of
selfessnesS, more of peace, more of joy
and brotherhood

ment approval is voluntary is not
particularly important. For volun-
tary compliance is too apt to be the
opening wedge for a system in which
compulsory compliance is under
stood.
When the Government sets up a
system of review to accommodate
the moving picture industry, at the
request of the moving picture in
dustry and to meet real demand
that is one thing When the Gov
ernment asks the moving picture in
dustry to set up system which def
nitely injects governmental approval
as part of moving picture produc-
ton, it is something else entirely.
The screen has a responsible part to
perform in the war effort, and un-
doubtedly wants to do its best. But
it has a responsibility to the public,
and that is to keep the screen free.
Evening star., 1942-12-20
A Free Screen

The moving picture industry has
taken advantage of its unexcelled op-
portunity to use its facilities for the
war effort and in the opinion of OBJ
servers has done good job. But it
is only natural that the industry
seems to view with considerable
skepticism a proposal from Lowell
Mellett, chief of the Owls Motion
Picture Bureau, that screen treat
ments and scenarios be submitted to
the owl before they are produced.
Procedure in the past has been for
the moving picture producers to deal
directly with the representatives of
the armed services in connection
with productions involving the serv-
ices, and the arrangement seems to
have worked out very well. Certainly
there have been no audible COM
plants. The owl is said to have
reached an agreement with the
armed services to have such arrange
ments, in future, made through Mr.
Mellett or his representatives. Some
movie industry spokesmen see no
practical advantage in this arrange
ment for past practice has in
volved a minimum Of red tape and
delay without setting up any for
malized procedure.
Mr.. Mellett has contended all along
that he is as much concerned for
freedom of the screen as he Is for
freedom OF the press There has been
no indication to the contrary and
Mr.. Mellett has obtained fine coop
Grafton from the industry. But even
such step as Mr.. Mellett now advo-
Gates. in behalf Of centralized au-
thority to deal with such matters,
suggests the right Of veto by the
Government, and although that veto
would be exercised through voluntary
agreement with the moving picture
industry-the implied right of veto
remains.
The moving pictures, like the
press, should properly regard with
suspicion every new move which,
aside from matters involving mill
tary secrecy. suggests Government
approval as a prerequisite Of produc-
ton or publication. The question

Remedial Action

The announcement that James F.
Byrnes, director of economic stabili-
zation, has called upon the three
officials primarily responsible for the
distribution and supply of gasoline
and fuel oil to submit recommenda-
tions for improving the handling Of
these commodities on the Eastern
Ssaboard is both encouraging and
disconcerting.
1t is encouraging because it reflects
an awareness that something is
drastically wrong with the present
machinery, plus a belated determi-
nation to spot these deficiencies and
correct them. Mr. Byrnes' statement
throws little new light on the still
unanswered question of what caused
the virtual discontinuance of gaso-
line sales in the Eastern States. The
President indicated last week that
some unforeseen emergency in North
Africa precipitated the crisis, but the
announcement by Mr.. Byrnes sug-
gestS that this may not be the whole
OF the Story-that in addition to an
element of military necessity there
also may have been some fumbling
on the home front
At any rate. he has called upon
Petroleum Administrator Ickes,
Price Administrator Henderson and
Director of Defense Transportation
Eastman to submit "as quickly as
possible" reports showing lin what
respects our existing policies and
machinery may not be effective" and
what remedial action should be
taken both for the present and the
future Undoubtedly, if official er-
rors have contributed to the present
critical situation, the fault lies with
one or more of these three agencies,
and any corrective action will have
to be initiated at the source of the
trouble. This, apparently, is what
Mr.. ByrneS has in mind, and it is to
be hoped that he follows the matter
through to satisfactory settlement.
DSoPiIC VIC pl Uillloe Vi improve
ment, however, this is a disconcert-
. ing incident for it seems evident that
total breakdown in the gasoline
supply was necessary TO produce a
determined effort to straighten out
a badly muddled phase of the war
program. Apparently in this, as in
SO many other instances, the admin
istration has gone along with an in
efficient and improvised organiza-
tional setup, refusing to correct it's
own mistakes until forced to act by
the pressure of public opinion. This,
certainly is not proper way to con-
duct a war program, and it is up to
Mr.. Byrnes as the Nations No. |
economic trouble shooter. to find an
effective solution. That, presumably,
is why the President called him from
his place on the Supreme Court. and

CHRISTMAS, 1912
BY the Right ReU JAMES E. FREEMAN, D., ILL., d. D. c. L.
Bishop OF WdShnqton.

The spirit of Christmas is distinctive
and unique. No other day in the calen-
dar presents higher aims or loftier pur-
poses than those which were announced
at the birth of Christ.
Born into world of disorder and con-
f1ict, He was proclaimed the Prince of
Peace" the long-heralded Saviour of
mankind. Despite all the changes that
have marked the course of history, de-
spite disorders and tumults and wars, the
message of the first Christmas still holds
its central place in the aspirations and
affections of men the world over. If
only for brief space, it lays its i'm
perative claim upon the hearts of men
in times of strife as in times of quiet and
peace. In 1t we find that which gives
hope and confidence to men even where
shadows lie dark upon their pathways.
It's softening influence touches with ir-
resistible appeal those whose lives have
grown hard and selfish To the disillu-
stoned and despairing it brings message
that changes their outlook and broadens
their horizons.
The story of the birth of Christ. as
told in the second chapter Of ST. Lukes
Gospel, is more beautiful, more arresting
and appealing than any record of it's
kind the world contains, hence its per-
sistence and its compelling power. HUI
man events, no matter how forbidding
and terrifying, cannot dispel the radi-
ance that was born into this world on
the first Christmas morn. Men have at
tempted to deny its significance, to spec
ulate about its meaning, to call in ques-
ton its miraculous character. With all
their reasoning, their doubts and specu-
lations, they have not been able to di-
minish one whit its pervasive influence
or to abate its rejuvenating power. What
