Austin: Can you tell we why the
United States is spoken of as Uncle
Sam" and also why the epithet for
England is John Bull"?-H. r.
Answer: 1t is generally agreed
that the name dates from the War
of 1912. DeVere (Americanisms,
1879 has this to say: "a Mr.. Sam
uel Wilson, invariably called Uncle
Sam by kindred and friends, was an
inspector appointed by the Govern
ment to receive large supplies for
the Army. 1t so happened that
casks and chests were all marked
with the initials of the contractor,

the latter, in jest, replied he did not

recalled wherever articles marked
with the familiar u S. reappeared

Weasels in Yosemite.

In the summer of 1916, some July
visitors saw a small brown-clad ami
NAL on the bank of Swinging Bridge
in Yosemite Valley. This was no
squirrel. 1t was a long-tailed weasel,
not uncommon. Usually they keep
out of sight though not afraid of
visitors.
This weasel would run from be-
Meath the planking at the edge Of
the bridge and leap nimbly over the
grass. Pausing for a few moments
to sit upright on his hind feet, it
would then speed away playing its
game of hide and seek behind grass
clumps.
AS is the custom weasels dine on
mice. The first thing they do is to
tap the large vein of the neck and
draw off the blood. Then the skull
is pierced by the sharp teeth, killing
the victim. If hungry. the fur coat
lis removed by neatly turning back
the skin and pulling it wrong-side
out.
These wease1s that have taken up
residence in the park are related
to the long-tailed ones Of Eastern
Minnesota. They have not become
numerous. Shrews, chipmunks, sqlir-z

On defense, don't let yourself
become fascinated with the play of
one particular suit, giving all of
your thought to that suit. 1t may
we'll be that this suit only appears
to be the vital one and that the key
play on the hand actually lies
elsewhere.
Take today's deal, for example.
Mr. Abel opened the six of clubs
and Mrs. Keen played her lone ten.
For whatever value it might be in
giving the enemy a garbled picture
OF his true distribution, Mr.. Dale
false-carded by winning with the
queen.
Mr. Abel asked for a second look
at the trick and thereafter gave
his complete attention to the club
suit. Obviously Mr.. Dale had the
king left. But now many others?
IF he had started with king queen
alone. the defenders could run the
rest of the suit as soon as they got
in.
If he had started with Kos
then Mrs. Keen now was left with
the lone jack That would create
problem. If she got in and led the
jack of clubs. Mr.. Dale could simply
duck.
Mr. Abel couldn't overtake with
out setting up Mr.. Dale's king. And
If he didn't overtake, Mrs Keen
would have no more clubs to lead.
AS these and other thoughts and
theories concerning the club suit
coursed through Mr.. Abels brain,
Mr.. Dale led the eight of hearts.
From his trance Mr.. Abel played
the trey. The five went on from
dummy and Mrs. Keen won with
the queen.
Mr.. Abel eagerly awaited the club
return. But it would have taken a |
magician to lead a club from the
East hand at this point. Mrs. Keen
returned a small spade and Mr..
Dale won with the queen.
He fneSsed hearts again and ran
off four tricks in the suit. He made
a total of 10 tricks in all. Suppose
Mr.. Abel had forgot about clubs
long enough to go up with the king
of hearts on the first lead of that
suit. Then Mr.. Dale would not have
made four no-trump. He wouldn't
have made three no-trump either.

England in much the same manner
as we use Uncle Sam"
In 1712, John Arbuthnot, Scottish
author and physician, wrote sa-
tirical novel, "T'he History of John

was represented as being the typical
Englishman. 1t caught the public

The English are frequently re-

short for Lime Juicer," term
properly applied to English ships
