Uncle Roy's Corner

Through his life Robert Fulton
was helped by his friends, and no
better friend did he find than Rob-
ert r. Livingston Of New York.
Known In history as Chancellor
Livingston" this man was American
Minister to France in 1903, the year
in which Fulton's steamboat broke
in two on the Seine River.
For years Livingston had been in
terested in steamboats,. He had made
tests with them on the Hudson
River and had worked on the prob
lem with his brother-in-law. John
Stevens-also with Nicholas J.
Roosevelt, another steamboat pio-
|neer.
After Fulton's failure Livingston
watched him launch another steam
boat on the Seine. The new boat,
66 feet in length, worked in its trial,
but was, very, very slow.
After talking with Livingston Full
ton decided to go back to the United

States and build the best steamboat
that ever had been known. Before
he did so he studied the steamboat
plans and drawings which had been
made by John Fitch.
Fulson also made q journey to
Scotland and talked with an In
ventor named Symington. This In
ventor had built a stern wheel
steamboat called the Charlotte
Dundas" and he gave Fulton a ride
on 1t.
Il caused the engine fire to be
lighted up" Symington later wrote.
land put the steamboat in motion
and carried him from Lock 16
miles west in the canal and returned
to the place of starting in one hour
and 20 minutes. to the great aston
ishment of Mr.. Fulton"
After ordering a steam engine
built in England by James Watt and
his partner, Fulton returned to the
United States. Soon the hull Of q
vessel was started and the Watt en-
gine was placed inside.
In 1907 the great test took place.
Fulton's steamboat. called the
"Clermont," set out from New York.
In 80 hours the vessel steamed up
the Hudson River to Albany, max
ing an average speed against the
current of almost miles an hour.
The steamboat had many in
ventors, but Robert Fulton deserves
share of the honor. He did not
himself claim to be the first In
ventor, but his labors helped to
speed the day of travel by steam
power.

Az Pass Pass Pass
While raise over an opponent S
takeout double is a pure shutout
bid and shows weakness, two hearts
would have been quite enough for
North to bid When North jumped
to three, South was quite justified
in bidding four.
West opened the five OF spades
the eight, nine and ace being played
Seeing that emergency measures
were required to make the contract
South promptly led the five of dia-
monds.
1t was inconceivable to West that
South would make such a lead il
he had the ace, king and queen;
and West wanted his partner to get
the lead SO that club could be led
toward dummy's weakness. So West
played low, and the ten won the
trick
South trumped a spade in his
hand, then led the heart nine. When
West played low on this, too, dunn
my,s jack was put up, and South
ruffed dummy's last spade Then
on the three high diamonds two o1
dummy's clubs were discarded. After
that, the defenders could get only
two clubs and the heart ace.

Chapel in South Pacific

Boy, it looks like the Roaring
Twenties' will have the best equip
ped and prettiest chapel in the
Southwest Pacific area"
Thus does Sergt. Bill Mitchell, In
letters to his parents, Mr. and Mrs
William J. Mitchell, l647 v street
Sc, express his units pride in the
chapel they built in the middle of a
New Guinea jungle 1t is the third
chapel his bombardment group has
constructed in New Guinea.
Sergt Mitchell sent several pic
lures of the chapel home, showing
how cloth from parachutes was used
as backdrop for the, altar and the
ceiling. The well-equipped altar is
a result of the chaplain's efforts,
Sergt. Mitchell wrote.
Gee, he chaplain Clatus E.
Snyder must of spent all his money
on things for US and for our chapel.
He brought back statues. gold
candlesticks, triple chimes and new
vestments, etc. 1t will look like a
regular church soon. I am so happy
because Father is back from fur
lough. Well sure miss him when
this war is all over"
Services for all denominations are
conducted regularly in the impro-
vised chapel.
