Answer to ORDINARY.
Uncle Rays Corner
BY Romon Coffmon

There are many dangers to a
landing on the moon. These may
be met with success at some distant
date, but hardly within the next half
century. If any one wants to make
a moon journey, it will be best to
try to circle the moon without max
ing landing.
AS to reaching Mars, the problem
is far greater. Going at the same
speed, the rocket would need more
than two months to make one-way
trip. Even if the rockets speed
could be stepped up" to 20 miles a
second, the one-way trip would take
about ~ days.
The great day of travel to Mars
may come in a thousand years, but
for the present we may well be con-
tented with rocket trips close to our
own planet,
Evening star., 1949-09-23

Many questions about rockets have
come to me this year. and as an ex-
ample of them I shall take para
graph from letter sent in by Nor
man F. Kretz. He writes:
I'm one Of your Saturday talks,
would you give me your opinion on
whether, in the next so years, there
will be rockets which can travel to
the moon or to Mars in matter OF
hours?"
expect the moon to be reached by
a rocket in less than SO years-very
likely within the next 10 or IS years.
I base this belief largely on the great
progress in the rocket field during
the past years.
1t has been figured that, to escape
from the earth's gravity, rocket
will have to travel at least 7 miles
per second.
To reach the moon at that speed,
a rocket would need to keep travel
ing for about 9ha hours.
When say that believe a rocket
will reach the moon during the next
half century. and probably inside OF
is years, it is different from saying
that I expect people to 60 to the
moon and get back alive. Men may
try to do that during the period
mentioned, but 1t seems almost GER
tain that they will fail to return,
even If they do manage to land on
the moon.

Dictionaries

Dictionaries like all other history
books, become out of date. To serve
us reliably, they must be constantly
revised, re-edited and re-issued. But
obviously, the new editions will be
worthless to us unless we buy them.
To illustrate how our language re-
fuses to be embalmed within the
covers of old dictionaries, let me
cite few of the correct" pronun-

The Penalty Double Without a
Trump Trick.


Many years ago an eminent
authority broadcast to the bridge
world the doctrine that contracts
below game should not be doubled
unless the person about to WELD the
ak held two trump tricks. This
creed found numerous adherents,
with the result that many oppor-
tunities to fatten up on enemy
errors have been lost. This accounts,
I believe, for the looseness which is
to be observed in the overcalling
habits of so many persons. II a
player feels that he is not apt to
be doubled he will naturally take
greater liberties in the auction.
1t seems to me that a common
sense business attitude should be
adopted toward the penalty double.
The simple expedient of adding your
expected tricks to those that your
partner will probably take should
simplify your doubling problems. 1t
should be constantly borne in mind,
however, that where your double
involves a certain risk that is, that
the opponents by reason OF the
double will score a game If the con-
tract is fulfilled you ought to allow
yourself a little leeway to provide
for unexpected distribution or a pos
sible error by your side.
In today's hand North opened
with one club and South naturally
responded with one spade. West,
with complete disregar for
vulnerabinty, or for his future flnan-
cial security, overcalled with two
diamonds. North's pass at this point
was sound strategy. 1t would be poor
tactics to make a free rebid at this
time even though he held six-card
suit, since the opening was based
on q mere two and one-half tricks.
East, of course, passed and the auc-
ton was back to South, who had a
very interesting decision to make.
He calculated that in the actual
play his hand would probably de-
velop about four tricks, which, added
to the three that the opening bidder
is normally expected to- produce,
would reach a total Of seven. This
spells down two for reward of 500
points. Furthermore, if something
should 60 wrong with the calcula-
tion, no disaster would result from
the fulflllment of the contract be-
cause it would not give game to the
opponents. He, therefore, doubled
and all hands passed.
Declarer was able to take four
diamond tricks and a heart. Down
three: 800 points, less 100 honors.
One small voice was raised against
the two trump trick" requirement.

that investigation made by Dr. Henry Boswell at the

of the mental institutions board Incidentally, the board
threw iron curtain around the Boswell report and has
steadfasty refused to make it public.
Charges concerning conditions at Whitfield have been
