CHERRY TREE
Where with our Little Hatchet we tell
the truth about many things, sometimes
profoundly, sometimes aippsntIy, ssNe-

THE

There are times when it seems al
most fair to wonder whether Congress
tries to cancel out its good deeds by
doing ugly ones.
1t did smashing good deed when
it got under way with the movement
to repeal the Chinese Exclusion Act.
1t seems to be trying to cancel that
out by bumbling along with sophmoric
discussion of the report Of the five
globe-racing Senators.
The Chinese Exclusion Act had
some reason when it was enacted, but
that reason has long since ceased to
have any validity.
Of course the law excludes all Ori-
entails and some of them will jolly well
keep on being excluded. But the Chi
nese have won their right to equality
of opportunity. There are non-Orien-
tails we could keep out with more
reason.
1t must be remembered that exclu-
sion came at a time far different than
the present. Orientals could and did
come in great numbers. And they
could under-cut wage rates.
Today we require quotas, which re-
stricts all migration. 1t is estimated
that no more than 100 Chinese could
enter this country per year. Well, for

"West opened the diamond king
and shifted to the spade nine.
(South got rid of two hearts on
dummys top spades. Then I led the
club nine. East covered with the ten
and I found myself unable to get
back to dummy to take another club
f1nesse. I led heart toward
dummy's queen but East took the
king and led back the ten. OF course,
had to lose a club trick and listen
meekly while North told me what
he could have done to four dia-
monds. I still don't think I should
have left in the double. Do you?"
Well, yes and no. Mostly no, and
on the whole South should be for
given his take-out. But not his fail
ure to make five clubs.
After discarding two hearts on
the spades declarer had a choice Of
whether to f1nesse the hearts or
the clubs. His decision to finesse
the clubs was wrong because If East
had all the clubs or if declarer
couldn't get back to dummy a sue
cessful club f1nesse would be useless.
Dummy should have led the heart
queen. If East does not cover, de-
clarer can take the club finesse.
But East should cover with the heart
king. After winning with the ace
South should then have to lay down
MS club ace-a necessary play be-
cause II East has all four clubs two
tricks will have to be lost anyway.
This play should draw Vests only
trump. South could then cash the
heart jack. ruff his last heart with
dummy's last trump and then give
up only a trump trick to East's
king.

Uncle Roy's Corner

Several letters have come to me
about Rose Hawthorne, one of the
daughters of the famous author. In
view Of the fine work for cancer
victims which she performed,
shall quote three of the letters to-
day.
In your articles about Nathaniel
Hawthorne" writes Mrs. Lillian E.
Leatham, you omitted the name Of
his third child. Wouldn't you call
Rose Hawthorne the most impor-
tant offspring?"
Rose Hawthorne" says Miss
Anna M. Quinn, founded and la
bored in great humanitarian work.
I think her name should be num-
bered among the heroes and hero
ines of this world.
She founded the institution for
care Of cancer victims now located
at Hawthorne, N. Y. This noble
woman's work is explained in Kath-
crime Burton's book, Sorrow Built
Bridge"
Still another letter, from Mr.. J.
McCutchen, gives the following
notes:
Rose Hawthorne Gathrop), the
younger daughter of Hawthorne,
brought honor and fame to herself
and her family by getting homes
for the cancerous poor. For 30
years before her death she labored
in this field. During that time
5000 900 was collected from an ad-
miring public for buildings and
support of the work.
I'm 1926, when she celebrated her
18th birthday, Bowdoin College con-
ferred on her as Mother Alfonso,
her name in religion, an honorary
M. A., and the Rotary Club of New
York City gave her a medal in rec
ognltion OF her mercy and valor and
the free gift of lifetime of service
to hopeless. destitute sufferers
when her funeral services were
read. thousands Of notables crowded
st. Patrick's Cathedral to pay their
last respects to valiant woman. Z"
Those letters make me think of
the fact that a persons good work
lives after him. 1t may seem. for
a moment. that some noble man or
woman Is forgotten. but people who
live in later years keep the memory
fresh.
Perhaps more important, the good
work lives aside from the memory
OF a special name. Those who have
been treated with kindness often
pass along the kindness to others,
and in that way help to build a
| better world

 Large Booty Taken
 "In the fighting for Karachev," the Sunday midnight communique said, large enemy forces were routed, large booty was captured and a great number of prisoners was taken
 Russian advances of 3 3-4 to 6 IA miles and the capture of more than 70 towns and villages on a broad front before Bryansk were reported in the communique.
 Fifty of the liberated communities lay northeast of Bryansk, including Lovat and zikeyevko, both 40 miles away, and Khastovichi, 35 miles away. Upwards of 5000 enemy troops were killed and 28 tanks and 18 guns destroyed or disabled in the fighting.

 Each village had been converted into miniature fortress, the Sov- jets said. Trenches, barbed wire obstacles and large mine fields ringed individual towns and all were defended flercely. At least 1,200 Germans were killed and booty and prisoners captured.
 Russian planes repeatedly bombed and stafed German troops columns and shot down 25 intercepting air. craft.
 Slow Progress
 Slow, but steady progress was re- ported from the Kharkov front as the battle for Russia's fourth larg- est city reached what were expected to be its final stage. Booty cap- tured included 13 guns, 25 six-bar- reled mortars and 63 machine guns.
 Russian flanking columns, prob- ing far to the west toward Poltava, main fortsess guarding the Dneiper bend, also advanced, capturing a number of villages and killing 900 Germans. Eleven tanks and three guns were captured in one sector and 26 tanks and two propelled guns destroyed on another.
