Uncle Roy's Corner
A chiId's personality /,

The captain or conductor" of
early trains was master of the
cars" but the engineer felt that he
was master of the engine" For
years these two trainmen were rivals.
Each felt that he should be looked
upon as boss Of the train.
A clever captain on a railroad in
New York State worked out a better
way to signal the engineer. This
mans name was Ayres, anA he
worked on the only train which his
company ran up and down the Hud-
son Valley.
One day Ayres hammered staples
in line along the roofs of the cars
in his train. Through the staples
he passed rope, and extended the
line to The locomotive. Above the
locomotive, on one end of the rope,
he fastened heavy piece of wood.
When I pull the rope" he said
to Hammil. the engineer, "the wood
will rise and fall back. This will
mean that you should stop the
train"
Ayres tested the plan some miles
from the station, but 1t failed to
work At the end of the trip, he
learned that the engineer had cut
the rope!
On another trip, Hammil cut the
rope again and this Nd to fist fight
at the station. It was a fierce battle,
but Ayres won. After that, the en-
gineer obeyed his signals.
H0 1f
to be the rule with railways in gen.
eral that the conductor should have
the chief rank as manager of the
train.
1t was the custom in early days
to give every locomotive a name.

Readers Corner.

Readers Corner.
From Miss E. M. c., Riverside:
How do you like Dr. Bradys pre-
addressed to take the place Of
self f-addressed'2
AnSwer-Im sorry, but the pre-
fix pre- relates only to priority Of
time. A "preaddressed" envelope is
one that has been previously adj
dreSSed-to any one. In short, any
envelope, after it has been addressed.
is 'preaddressed" envelope. The
good doctor apparently accepts the
superstition that self addressed"
envelope is illogical, if not incorrect.
But the term is fully sanctioned by
Merriam Webster's and other ac-
cepted authorities.
From IT'S E. A., Somewhere in
France: I'm the overseas edition of
my hometown paper you mention
more than half the letters of the
alphabet, all different. Here's an
other one for you, 'undiscoverably.'
found it in Gothic Tales by
Christian Stead.
Thanks, sergeant. And may you
come home soon and safe.
From Miss E. C. R., White Plains:
I've heard many blunders, but the
worst was Transcribed Govern
ment warning not to 'gee-OP-ard-
ize' the war effort.
Answer-Oddly enough, jeopardize
is redundant word. It has no
meaning that is not expressed by the
verb leopard: TO put in jeopardy,
to expose to risk. loss or danger"
Jeopardy is from the French phrase
jeu parti, IAN even game" or q
game in which the chances Of win-
ming are about even; hence, a risk,
q hazard.

The bidding:
East. South. West. North.
- "a Pass 80
Pass "A Pass Pass
Opening lead: Eight OF clubs.
That sure thing is better than
one that is probable is too obvious
to require comment, yet so many
contracts go on the rocks because
declarer gets fixed notion as to
the location of a certain card and
does not allow for any other possi-
bility.
: East opened the bidding with one
club and South elected to bid two
spades. An alternate course would
have been to double, but the two
spade bid is probably preferable be-
cause this hand must certainly play
in spades, and If partner has some
trick-taking power, a game is likely.
If he has nothing, he is permitted
to pass this jump overcall. And
this is point that many players
have not grasped. The jump over
call of an opening bid is not a
force. 1t is very strong invita-
ton and should be made with
hand that can take about eight
tricks itself. North held normal
trump support and two kings, so
naturally gave partner a raise and
the four-spade bid became routine.
West opened the eight of clubs.
East won with the ace and returned
the queen. Trumps were extracted
in two rounds and dclarer realized
that the ace of diamonds must be
with East because of the opening
bid.
Recognizing that it was futile to
attempt to win trick with the king
by direct lead, he felt that his
only chance was that the opening
bidder held both the ace and queen
of diamonds. He, therefore, went
over to the king of hearts, led by
a low diamond toward the jack.
East played the nine and declarer
the jack, which was smothered by
Vests queen. The diamond return
gave the defense two more tricks,
defeating the contract.
Declarer had played the hand very
thoughtlessly. The proper proce-
dure, when trumps were out, was
to play the ace and king of hearts
and ruff out the remaining heart.
Dummy should then be entered
with the nine of spades and ten of
clubs led. East will cover with jack
and declarer should refuse to
| trump, discarding the deuce of dia-
