Uncle Ruy's Corner

During a visit in Southern Ire
land, asked an Irishman, Have
you ever seen a snake?"
Nowhere except at a circus" he
replied.
Probably because the Irish cli-
mate, or the food supply, does not
suit them, snakes and toads are
absent from Ireland. The same
thing is true of the Isle of Man.
which has nearly the same climate
as Ireland.
The Isle Of Man also is without
squirrels and foxes. There were
red deer in its woodlands in past
times, but they became extinct
about the year 170O.
Rabbits, Lizards and various
kinds of birds are to be seen about
the island, but in general we may

North was the sort Of player who
goes berserk with high cards. South,
knowing his partner, tried to "slow
him up" by refusing to raise his
jump spade response (Which, in
itself, was none too good but North
was not to be checked and leaped
blithely to six no trump.
West opened the spade 10 and
declarer won with the ace. Easts
play of the jack was evidence that
the spade suit would not break, but
to find out for certain, declarer led
a second round to the queen. East
grasped the opportunity to discard
the eight OF hearts and declarer
who knew East to be woodenly
honest about his signals, promptly
decided not to take heart fneSse.
A low club was led from dummy;
East played the eight and South
successfully fneSsed the queen.
Now the club ace was cashed. West
followed suit with the nine and East
with the 10. Declarer took a. deep
breath, then led out the ace, king
and queen of diamonds and third
club. East, forced on lead with the
club king, had only hearts left in
his hand and the return of that
suit automatically gave South three
heart tricks and his overbid con-
tract.
OF course, you know the criminal.
Do you also know both his crimes?
II East had not signaled so en-
phatically for heart. declarer
might have taken the heart finesse
and gone down to certain defeat.
Or. even after that signal, if East
had had the vision to play his club
king on the FIRST or second lead of
that suit, he would have avoided
the throw-in play.

Answer - One spade. You have
an excellent hand, particularly con-
sldering that your partner has
opened the bidding, but it would be
serious tactical error for you to
respond with two spades. For one
thing, such a response implies
either fit with partners suit or a
long, solid suit of your own with
outside strength, whereas you have
neither; for another, this jump bid
would cut down the rounds of bid
ding that may be required to explore
the combined hands to the fullest
extent.
Score 100 per cent for one spade.
10 per cent for two spades.

say that it is poor in animal life"
One animal, however. has done a
great deal to spread the fame of
the Isle of Man. 1t is known as the
home of the Manx cat.
Most kinds of cats have long
tails, but not the Manx cat! Its
tail is so short as to be not even
a good excuse for tail Some
"purebred" Manx cats do not have
even the stump of tail for a per-
son to see.
Besides it's lack Of a tail, this cat
is set apart from others by having
legs which are longer than usual.
These legs give it a way OF run
ming which differs from that of ths
common house cat. 1t tends to
bound" as it runs, very much like
a rabbit. When 1t comes to low
hedge or mass of tall grass, it is
likely to leap over the barrier, In
stead of running through it or
around it.
No record exists of the first Manx
cats They have been on the Isle
of Man for at least a few hundred
years, but the exact time when they
first appeared is not known. The
record of the rocks on the island
has failed to show that any such
animals existed there in bygone
ages.
Tt has been suggested that cats
without tails, or with very short
tails, reached the Isle of Man when
vessel was wrecked off the coast.
There is a story that two vessels
of the Spanish Armada had Short
tailed cats aboard when they were
wrecked in that region.
Sailors have taken thousands Of
cats to sea as "mascots' and some
of them have reached dry land far
from their place of birth. Yet there
is the question of where such cats
were found in the first place.
The most likely answer seems to
be the Orient. Cats with short or
stumpy tails are natives of China,
Burma and the Malay States. In
the course of long voyages, a few
of them could have reached the
Isle Of Man and started the line of
"ManX cats"

OKLAHOMA CITY, May 26.-
Benefits under Oklahoma's unem-

The decision was handed down
yesterday in a case resulting from a
Midcontinent etroleum Corp,

"One who is out on strike can
hardly be held to be unemployed
through no fault of his own" Vice
Chief Justice Thomas Gibson wrote
in the majority opinion. Six other
court members concurred. Two,
Justices Fletcher Riley and Ben
Arnold, dissented.

Good E'vening.

Another day has closed its door
Upon the lurid scenes of war
And on those far embattled fields
The human heart to Yuletide yields.
From white fezZed heights and blooming glens,
From frozen wastes and tropic fens
From bleak despair that wears the yoke
And the dawn Of rising hope,
In swelling chorus, family clear,
The Christmas carols now hear
From every race ard sphere and cline
The melodies in chorus chime,
Softly on the night air falling
Scenes Of happier years recalling
In every tongue the soulful strain
OF Holy Night" hear again.
Through sleet and snow and squat and mis-
BY moonbeams and the starlight kissed
From earths remotest kindred doors,
The heartsong echoes DER His shores
Diffusng Yuetide's good will charms
On an embittered world in arms,
Holy Night. Silent Night,
All is calm, all is bright"
