Uncle Roy's Corner

Questions about the calendar ap-
pear In letter from Helen Menge,
who writes:
could you please tell me why
our year is dated 1914 when differ
ent things are remembered $500 or
such number of years ago? Just
exactly how old is our world? I
imagine it should now be dated
around 3057 or 4443. If our world Is
SO much older than 1874 years why
Is 1t dated that number?'
Our common calendar goes back
to a year which was calculated to DO
one in which Jesus was born. Tho
present year is 1874 in the Chris
tian era"
Our calendar is only one OF q
number which exist in the world.
Hundreds of millions of Moham-
medans say they are now living in
the year 1862. They start their call
endar with the year in which Mo.
hammed left Mecca, his birthplace,
to escape from his enemies.
According to the Jewish calendar,
the present month is in the midst Of
the year 5704. In most years the
Jewish calendar has IL months with
% or 30 days apiece, but certain
years are counted as having 13 Of
such months.
If you were over in China, you
might hear people speaking about
the start of the year 80. After the
Chinese republic came into being in
1912, change in the calendar was
made, and 1912 was called the year
one"
The old Chinese calendar still
lives, however. By that calendar,
more than 4,600 years have passed
since the Chinese adopted a new
system of counting time.
The calendars of India are very
much mixed up. Instead of a single
calendar for the country, there are
several with different starting dates,
most of them opening less than
l 500 years ago.
The exact age" Of the earth has
puzzled many persons. Some of the
written records of Egypt and Baby
lonia tell about kings who lived well
over 1000 years ago. There are
proofs that people lived long before
there were written records.
Scientists declare that the earth
is thousands of millions of years old,
but they do not give exact dates on
which a calendar could be based.

The deal came up in duplicate
game, where there is considerable
jockeying for part-score combina-
tions. Actually North-South missed
bet, for with the successful club
finesse they could have made three
no-trump.
The point of the hand is the OPEN
ing lead. West saw no hope of de-
feating three clubs unless he could
trump some spades. East had shown
a weak hand, but had shown prefer
ence for hearts. To give himself the
best chance of getting East in the
lead at least once and preferably
twice, West opened the six of hearts
Dummy's nine was played, and
East applied the rule of eleven, sub
tracing six from eleven, which
showed that If West had led fourth
highest, South could not even beat
the six-sppt. Therefore East put
on the ten and won the trick. Fig
uring that West must have had
some good reason for wanting to
put him in, East returned spade
and West trumped. Another heart
lead put East in again, and West
trumped another spade. The ace of
diamonds now defeated the con-
tract.

spades. A three no-trump rebid
would not necessarily show any
