UNCLE RAYS CORNER

If you eat cake Of compressed
yeast, you eat millions of tiny
plants. The plants are among the
smallest in the world. Each one
has only single cell.
Under the right conditions, yeast
plants will multiply. A cell will
produce a bud" and that bud will
divide from its parent. making two
cells instead of one. The new cell
will bud at a later time, and still
another cell will be made. In that
way a small amount of yeast can
turn into a large amount.
In past times housewives often
made their own yeast. They would
make batter such as this: A mix
ture of wheat flour, potato water,
sugar and salt. The batter would
be left in the open air, so that yeast
germs floating in the air could be
caught.
When yeast germs of the proper
kind found their way to the batter,
they would have something on
which to iced" Because of that,
they would be able to increase in
numbers, and the batter could be
mixed with dough when bread was
baked.
Yeast germs are spread widely
through the air, but there is a
trouble from the fact that there are
hundreds of kinds. If a housewife
did not get the right kinds In her
batter, her bread would not be q
success.

It's Hard to Believe

Spokane: I remarked that I am
more dexterous with my left hand"
A friend tells me that such a thing
is nonsense. Is he pulling my
leg?-D. o.
Answer: In figurative sense
the expression is good usage. Lit
orally. though, it is contradictory
for dexterous is from the Latin
dexter, meaning pertaining to the
right hand"
Left-handedness was once thought
to be evil. The Latin word for "of
the left hand" is sinister, which
today means "underhand; corrupt"

Moist yeast cakes, however, have
their special advantage. They are
ready for quick use. A housewife
making bread does not need to go
to so much trouble as with dry
yeast.
An expert in the field Of vitanins
tells me that yeast is the best place
known for B-vitamins, even better
than liver. The B family Of vitamins
is very large, and several new val
ues for them have been found in
the past few years.
The old purpose Of yeast is to
make bread rise. 1t provides a
leaven which makes dough more fit
to eat when 1t is baked.
Most of the vitanin value of
yeast is lost when bread is baked.
Yet, In late times, ways have been
found to give back much Of the vita
min value to the finished loaf. Mil
lions of families today are buying
bread enriched with vitamin value
which it should have.

We can say one thing about the
auction: North and South did not
underbid their cards. Perhaps they
realized they need not fear inspired
defense. and certainly the outcome
justified their optimism.
West opened the nine of spades,
East played the ten and South
ducked. East continued with the
ace and a low spade, South win
ming the third round with the spade
king. South then led a diamond,
West ducking. and dummy winning
with the queen. Declarer returned
to his hand with heart to lead
another diamond West took the
diamond ace and led a club but
South put up dummy's ace and took
his game with four diamonds, three
hearts, a spade and a club.
1t should be clear that one of the
defenders had the opportunity to
make magnificent defensive play to
defeat the contract. Try to spot it
for yourself before you read on.
West was the cut throat who
missed his opportunity. On the
third round of spades he should
have discarded the ace of diamonds
Then South could not have de-
veloped the diamonds without CIV
ing the lead to East with the dia-
mond jack, and the rest of the
spades would have defeated the
contract.
The play is admittedly difficult
one, but not impossible to a fine
player. The bidding and the dunn
my should make it clear that East
can set the contract only if he can
get in before the diamonds are
set up.

There are at least three pretty
substantial reasons why the idea

O. President Roosevelts proposed

3. Probability of bombing raids
which could cause serious damage
to studios and slow down produc-
tion schedules
Interesting to note in this spec
ulative connection is the topography
of the country in and around Mex
leo City. 1t is much the same as
Hollywood 's-which means the site

not able in common with so many
others, to get aVay from the con-
ventional barracks humor. His
straight man is the stock sergeant,
a rugged fellow with the conven-
tional notions of taking the steam
out of overheated rockies Their
embodiment never gets beyond the
fixed comedy limitations of such
conflicts, unless possibly in scene
in which Donlevy, bent upon escape,
dons a fabulous Latin American
dress and veil to elude the sergeant.
The principals in Two Yanks in
Trinidad" are skilled enough in the
acting business to give some ap-
pealing force to Scriptist Bartlett's
characters. Donlevy is obviously
having a good time in the role of
the dumb cluck racketeer, fellow
able to live by his wits against
average men, but a complete cipher
in competition with his eX-partner.
O'Brien's role is one he has played
so many times he might have walked
through it if he were not too loyal
an employe to do so.
The feminine chore in the pic

tition of such players as Donald
