Uncle Ruy's Corner

Some weeks ago T wrote about a
clown who drank, or seemed to
drink, glass of beer in front of
a circus crowd-while he was stand
ing on his head! I said I never
had tried to do such thing my
self. but that it seemed to me there
must have been some trick" about
the stunt, that perhaps a tube led
through his mustache to a hidden
rubber bulb. Now, however, have
changed my mind I think 1t is
likely that the clown really did
drink the beer while upside down.
The following letter made me
think about the subject again:
Dear Uncle Ray:
In spite of the fact that have
passed the age of three score and
TO- l have for a long time ex-
tracted. quite kick from your In
teresting column. I was especially
interested in reading about the cir
Gus clown who, while standing on
his head, managed to defy the law
of Isaac Newton and make water
run uphill.
From my personal experience,
can assure you that the difficulty in
this stunt lies in ones ability to
balance himself while standing on
his head while he consumes the
liquid, as the natural process of
drinking seems to accomplish the
result with ease and dispatch.
Il learned the trick of standing
on my head at an early age. and
became quite proficient in the act
as I grew older When I first saw
the water drinking stunt, 1 had
already mastered the upside-down
act and found, to my great de-
light, that, in spite of Newton, water
would run uphill with the proper
inducement. My niece, Mrs. Charles
Halbert, has watched both her
brother and myself pull off the act.
Sincerely,
"E. H. JERRARD."
Thank you very much, Mr.. Jer-
rard, for your kind letter. You
must have been quite clever to learn
to stand on your head long enough
to drink glass of water. When I
was a boy, stood on my head for
few seconds at a time, but I
needed both my hands to keep in
balance, and never had any idea of
using one hand to hold a cup or
glass and take a drink of water.
After getting Mr. Jerrard's letter,
however, I performed simple test
which proves that something of the
sort can be done. While seated, !
hung my head so that it was almost
straight down. In that position
drank some water from a glass. and
the water found its way without
trouble to the proper place.

From H. D. M, Akron: May We say

ferring to the f1agpole of a building?
Answer: Strictly speaking, a flag
on ship flies at half mast. On
land, flag flies at half staff. How
ever, half mast" is widely used in
both meanings, especially by us
landlubbers, who also speak of a
boat" instead of ship

The bidding:

"a Pass "a Pass
3NT Pass Pass Pass
Opening lead: Three of diamonds.
One of the most popular of the
old bromides that frequently lures
a defender to his destruction is the
one that reads: Third hand high"
While in a great many cases this ad-
vice may be sound, there are an
equally large number OF hands on
which the play of the highest card
by third hand is a losing PROPOSE
ton. Where, for example, the
dummy contains high honor that
is subject to capture it may be wise
for third hand to retain his high
card for the purpose of guarding
the dummy's high card.
In today's hand East made a very
thoughtful play by refusing to come
up with his highest card, but for
an entirely different reason. The
dummy's card was an ace and was
not subject to capture.
South's hand was minimum in
high cards, but inasmuch as it con-
tanned seven honor cards scattered
through all four suits South prop
erly elected to open it. When North
responded with two clubs, South
used good judgment in rebidding
the nonrebiddable spade suit. Such
rebid tends to discourage partner
from further bidding and Is to be
preferred to a call of two no trump,
which would show much better
hand. When North raised to three
spades, South chose the shorter
route to game.
West led the three of diamonds,
and tho IN 1r,ac TNloyaJ froY,,
The routine play for East is to put
up the king. But this East took
time out to do some counting. His
partner has led the three and may
have the deuce as well. Even so he
could have no more than five of
the suit, which would give the de-
clarer at least three, one of which
is probably the queen. IF West has
the queen, so much the better. Then
the play of the jack will make no
difference0 East, therefore, played
the jack and declarer won with the
queen. The ace of spades was
driven out and East returned the
king of diamonds, knocking the ace
out of dummy. When he subse-
quently regained the lead with the
ace of hearts he still had a diamond
| left to return to his partner and
the contract was set.
Note how differently the hand
will play if East puts up the king
on the first trick. A diamond will
be returned and won with the ace.
The spade ace will be driven out
and the diamond suit cleared. South
winning with the queen. Now when
East is given his ace of hearts he
will have no diamond to return and
the declarer will come home with
mine tricks.
The success of East's play de-
pends only upon West having a
card as good as the nine of dia-
monds, which is a very strong
probability.

Woman Doctor Is
Heroine of Long
Battle on Leyte
She Saves Lives of Many
Wounded, Enabling Them
To Return to Fight.

LEYTE, PHILIPPINES. - The
skilled hands of DR.. Isabella Wal
strom, only woman officer in the
guerrilla forces on Leyte, have
enabled countless wounded fighters
to resume their battle against the
Japanese.
For two years Lieutenant Wal
strom has lived and worked with the
guerrillas on northeastern Leyte to
fulfill a VOW Of vengeance for the
death of her husband and two
brothers who pioneered resistance
on this island.
Three years ago this young
Chinese-Filipino woman was com
pleting internship with her Ameri-
can Filipino husband, DR.. Rob
ert Walstrom, at Manila's Philippine
general hospital. They we're mar
ried in their senior year at the Uni
versity of the Philippines medical
school
Take to Mountains.
Then the Japs struck and both
were wounded in the vicious Japa-
nese bombing of Manila. Soon after
the fall of Manila, the WaIstroms,
nearly penniless, boarded a sailboat
for Leyte, Isabella's native prov
ince.
When the Japanese arrived here,
the Walstroms moved into the noun
tains to help organize Leyte's first
guerrilla force.
"In September my brother, DR..
Posoncuy, was killed when leading
a raid on Jap outpost" the wom-
an doctor said. "He worked very
hard and seldom saw his family
after joining the guerrillas. My
other brother, who was only 81, was
cornered and wounded by the Japs,
ii months ago.
''He was shot while on trip to
the mountains in the north" she
continued. ellis wound wasn't seri-
Gus but it took two days to carry
him by stretcher down the noun
tains to Carigara. Then the doctor
didn't operate and my brother died.
We think the doctor didn't operate
because he was afraid he would be
punished by the Japs.
Loses Husband.
"My husband died from fever
When he joined the guerrillas, he
wasn't used to going barefooted. He
had to learn to eat Filipino food
even rice 49, because his family
lived in Baguio "a mountain resort
city in central Luzon) and always
ate American food"
twenty-five years old, slender,
brown-eyed DR.. Isabella came to
Tacloban because she wants to be
q doctor in the Philippine army.
Wearing robin blue Stacks and a
candy-striped blouse and with black
hair streaming down her shoulders,
she created a sensation among the
American soldiers when she APP
peared in Tacloban.
When asked if she had killed any
Japs, DR.. Isabella smiled for the
first and only time during the inter-
view and replied: mo, they
wouldn't trust me with gum
