sfom MS mOtner, ne was put under
the care Of a Quaker schoolmaster
and went on with his studies for q
year or two.
In those days it was costly for
child to be educated. Often the
parents could not afford to spend
money on teachers and books, and
Robert was one Of the boys who
failed to enjoy much schooling
He was gifted, however, with an
active mind and was able to learn
many things outside school. Often
he went to q gunsmith's shop in
Lancaster to watch the men at
work. There he saw muskets and
pistols being made and repaired.
One worker in the shop was Q
youth named Christopher Gumpf.
The two became friends, and often
went fishing together on the small
stream known as the Conestoga.
They used q flat-bottomed boat
moved by poles which were put in
the water until they touched the
bottom and then were pushed.
We are told that Robert, ut the
age Of 13 or IA, put together q de-
vice to make the boat move more
easily. This was a pair of paddle
wheels turned by a hand crank.
II the boy really did that. he
showed himself a clever lad, but he
was a long distance from making
anything in the nature Of . steam
boat.
When he was II years old, young
Fulton went to Philadelphia, and
there served as an apprentice 10 4
jeweler. In his free time he learned
to paint pictures. He had 4 natural
skill in this field, and before long
he was making portraits OF his
friends, and was getting paid for
them.
BY the time he was II, Fulton was
able to earn his living with his art
work and send some money home.
A friend suggested that he ought TO
60 to England and study art. It
was = daring idea, and 1t grew In
his mind.

The bidding:
South West North East
INT Pass 2NT Pass
.3NT Pass Pass Pass
South made the best opening bid
on his hand. If he had opened with
one diamond and North had re-
sponded one heart or one spade,
South would have been somewhat
too strong for one-no- trump or
two-diamond rebid and too weak
for two-no-trump rebid.
West opened the club six and
dummy's queen was put up. East
carelessly played the four. Now
South ran five diamonds, after
which he led a low spade and put
in dummy's jack. East won with
the ace and led the jack of clubs.
Knowing that West must have
had q f1ve-card suit, South's only
chance was to cover the club jack
and hope the suit would be blocked.
And that is what happened. West
took the club ace but then East had
to win the next club trick. On q
heart return South put up the ace
and ran enough spade tricks to
make his contract with an over
trick.
East should have played the ten
OF clubs on the first lead. If he had,
covering the club jack would have
done South no good at the end;
West would have taken the ace.
cleared the suit with the nine and
defeated the contract with two
more club leads.

WASHINGTON, July 20-R)
Japan's TOTO has quit.
He, that nations supreme war
lord who personified its tyranny
over East Asia and boosted be-
fore the world that Japan's
-"pface in the sun" was as mas
ter of the globe, has walked out
"in the face of a grave situa-
ton"
In the words of the Japanese
government, as broadcast by its
propaganda news agency, "it has
been decided to strengthen the
cabinet by a wider selection of
the personnel" Emperor Hiro-
hito is much concerned" about
Japan's present situation and
War Lord Toto and his now ex-
cabinet "is filled with trepida-
ton"
Many and diverse will be the
explanations out of Tokyo as to
why TOTO and his band had to
quit, but in plain American they
will add up to the fact that the
moose is around Japan's neck.
A m n military power is
tightening the rope and the jap
anese are beginning to squirm.
Someone must be the goat and
that unpleasant role has fallen
to TOTO and his gang. They are
not the first to fall victims to
military and political expedien-
cy in Japan. Nor will they be
the last.
