however, to obtain so much power.
Goebbels, Himmler and others in

the power.
Hitler's death, however, may not
be natural" He may be captured
by his enemies, either inside or

that case Goering no doubt will 60

Japan.
Have the japanese the third
largest navy in the world?" she
inquired. Where do the Japs make
all their war vessels and airplanes?
What is the name Of the Japanese
Emperor"
To answer the last question first,
I shall give the name of Japan's
Emperor or "Mikado." It is "Hiro-
hito," and Is pronounced "HE-ro-
HE-to." He came to the throne
16 years ago.

powerful in the world. Japan was
ranked third when she entered this
war.
1t is known that many of Japan's
war vessels and planes are made
on the island of Honshu, also
spelled "Hondo." That is the main
island Of the Japanese empire.
Other islands also have shipyards
and factories for war purposes.
Many parts Of Japan have been
fenced of" and people from other
countries have not been allowed to

In those places.

Everett: I have been instructed
to pronounce the word RISE like
the word rice" Is it true that
this is the modern pronuncia-
tion?-V.
Answer-No. The dictionaries Of
1900 tried to popularize 1t, but,
states the New Webster's. "This
crice' for rise) probably never pre-
vailed and is now little heard"
Baltimore: Please define and
pronounce CLICHE.-O. w. c.
Answer-A cliche the word is
from the French) is "a trite, over
worked word or phrase" Say:
klee- SHAY.
Chicago: Why do we pronounce
the first syllable Of CHICAGO as
"shi" instead of "chi"?-D.' B.
Answer-Probably because Chi
cago is from the Indian word SHE
KAG-ONG, meaning wild onion

Biddinq the Slam

In the final analysis there's only
one way to bid a slam: You open
your mouth and say the word "six," !"
followed by the suit (or no-trump)
that seems most attractive at the
moment. No slam can be bid un-
less one Of the two partners goes
through these motions.
It's really amazing how many
players lack the courage or the
gumption to bid six OF anything un-
less they have pushed themselves
over the precipice by using one of
the four no-trump conventions.
Maybe you've seen youngster on
. diving board. singing out some
schoolboy's rhyme to give him cour-
age to Jump OF. That's exactly
what happens when most people use
the current slam conventions.
In today's hand, conventions
wouldn't have done q bit of good,
for aces weren't needed. Instead,
one Of the players had to use his
head and about the same amount Of
courage that he'd use in swatting a
f1y.

slam at hearts because he was afraid
his partner had losing trump trick
as well as losing spade. AS you
can see, South had good reason not
to 20 past five, for he had two
losing spades.
But North should have realized
that his partner had stopped short
only because of the spade danger.
The odds were overwhelming that
South had good enough hearts to
solidify the suit, in which case the
slam at hearts was safe.
But there was another reason for
bidding the slam-even if it couldn't
be made! East and West hsbl con-
firmed the spade suit for possible
sacrifice. 1t was a near certainty
that one of them would bid six
spades as a sacrifice against six
hearts. North could be pretty sure
that six spades could be set for
more than the value Of four hearts.

Answer-Bid one no-trump. This

tribution, lack OF good support for

Desperate over its failure to de-

Information from two distinct
sources reached London that Adolf

as his new weapon with which to
try to retrieve his position in Rus

1t was reported that last week
Germany had great quantities of
mysterious liquid, believed to be the
new gas, concentrated at Singer,
just across the Swiss frontier in
Germany.
Swiss railroadmen reported that
800 railroad tank cars Of the liquid
had arrived there. They said it was
handled very delicately and the
tank cars were marked with the
skull and cross-bones symbol.
CAREFULLY PROTECTED
1t was noted that in the tank car
trains there was no safety car be-
tween the locomotive and tender
and the first tank car, as is invar-
iably the case with gasoline trains.

The order explained that every

and highway lights must be darken-
ed or shielded.
Lights of private homes and beach
amusement concessions fronting on
the Pacific ocean must be darkened

Regional OCD Director James G.

request of Admiral John w. Green

Sheppard said the order lis to

The affected area embraces az
cities and towns in nine counties,
Under the terms of the order
street lights must be painted or
shielded on the seward side; all
display illumination must be eX-
tinguished if shielding is not practi-

factories must be drawn at night
in windows facing the sea, and
night traffic in the zone of visibil-
ity must either be re-routed or re-
