The total eclipse Of the sun
may make it interesting for me
to answer this question:
Can we depend on the coming
of an eclipse as surely as we can
depend on the return of Halley's
Comet?"
Among all the long-term
comets, Halley's is the most reli-
able. 1t comes back once in about
rs and a half years. Roughly we
can expect it to appear in the
sky at about the time of Thanks
giving Day 80 years from now.
Halley's Comet is fairly regu-
lar, but it falls far short Of
eclipSeS. An astronomer may miss
the time of the comets return by
several months. On the other
hand he can tell the exact date
Of an eclipse which is due so or
100 years from now!
On the 29th day of March in
the year after Halley's Comet Is
expected to return, there will be
q very short total eclipse Of the

Is the CANARY BIRD named
for the Canary Islands, or vice
versa? This dainty, gentle little
bird with the golden voice has
one of the most surprising names
imaginable. 1t got its name from
the islands, but the islands were
named for-what do you sup
pose?-large, fierce DOGS!
In 40 BIC, the King of Maure-
tania visited a group of remote
islands in the Atlantic. To the
islands he gave the name Ca
maria (from the Latin CAMS,
"dog"). q. so called from the
multitude of dogs of great size. -
In time the name was corrupted
to Canary. Hence, when we
speak of a canary bird, we are
saying. literally, dog bird"
The word HUSSY, despite its
present-day meaning, is simply
a corrupted form of the quite
proper word housewife" and
originally it had that meaning
The form ''husSy" resulted from

Granted they may outmaneu-
yer you on straight bidding and
play, but that makes it all the
more desirable for you to jazz
up the play a little, as they say
around the tournaments. Be
alert for opportunities to put
them on the wrong track. Re-
member, the best players in the
world can't see through the
backs of the cards.
Look what Mr.. Dale did to the
great Mr.. Champion in today's
deal. He opened the trey Of
spades and Mr.. Meek put up the
ten. Believing that heart
switch might prove embarrass-
ing, Mr.. Champion won this
trick with the king and led a
club.
Now it was clear to Mr.. Dale
that the situation was grave. A
finesse of dummy's jack of clubs
would undoubtedly give Mr..
Champion six tricks in the suit.
Even if the ace or king were
played from the board, the
queen would drop on the second
lead.
So, without hesitation. Mr..
Dale played the queen at trick
two. Mr.. Champion made a few
choice remarks about his luck.
If the queen were singleton,
then Mr.. Meek had the suit
stopped with four to the ten.
And with no entry to dummy
outside of clubs, Mr.. Champion
decided to make sure of five
tricks in the suit.
After all, he had two other
chances for nine trickS-a sue
cessful heart finesse or finding
the ace of diamonds on his right.
So the queen of clubs was per-
mitted to win.
Mr.. Dale led another spade
and Mr.. Champion ducked. He
was forced to win the next spade
and then he ran the clubs. On
the third and fourth clubs Mr..
Dale signaled vigorously with
the nine and deuce of diamonds.
On the last two clubs he casu-
ally dropped the deuce, then the
eight of hearts.
With everybody down to four
cards, Mr.. Champion had A-Q
of hearts and K-Q of diamonds.
Mr.. Dale had the ace of dia-
monds, the lone king of hearts
and two good spades. Mr.. Meek
held three hearts and the jack
of diamonds.
Mr.. Champion is good but he
had no way of knowing the right
play. He finessed the queen of
hearts-and Mr.. Dale took the
last four tricks.

man.
And from several Republican
senators there was chorus of
outcry against the White House

Of the Notre Dame law school.
Manion disclosed late Wednes-
day that he had resigned by re-
quest. He declared he had been
let out because he supports pro-
posed Constitutional amendment
by Sen. Bricker R-Ohio) to limit
treaty power.
Manion said his resignation was
requested by Sherman Adams,
Presidential aide
Since Manion was a Presiden-

could not have acted without Els
enhower's approval.
Mason said Adams action
"smack Of autocratic dictatorship"

minis and smelterS and on an
estimate for Observation-Disclosures
IA percent above the 1852 output,
a us. Bureau of Mines report
reveals.
The increase in gold production
was unexpected, considering the
adverse economic conditions I'M
der which the gold miners con-
tinued to operate. The high cost of
labor, materials, and supplies in
relation to an unchanged United
States Treasury price of $35 per
fine ounce of gold constituted a
serious handicap and in some
cases an insurmountable obstacle
to the gold miner.
Gold produced in prior years,
but not shipped until 1858, &C
counted for a large part Of the
increase in gold output recorded
in 1858. According to available
information, the qua, tity Of mat
ural gold" sold on the open mar
ket at prices higher than the Of
fetal United States Treasury
price was insignificant Most Of
the natural gold" was sold in
nugget form TO buyers for use in
making jewelry.
Except for an insignificant
quantity Of gold produced from
lode mines, the total Alaska gold
output in 1853 came from placer
mines. Most Of the gold was re
covered by bucket-line dredges.
The United States Smelling, Re
filming q Mining CO., which oper-
ated six dredges in the Fairbanks
district and two dredges in the
Nome district, was the principal
producer Of gold III Alaska III
1858.
Production Of gold from lode
mines was recorded from two
mines in the Willow Creek district
and from one mine in the Fair
banks district A small quantity Of
gold was recovered from one mine
while doing assessment work at
the Lucky Shot and Gold Cord
mines in the Willow Creek dis
trict Jokela and LazeratiOn re-
covered a moderate quantity Of
gold from ore mined from the
Greenback claims and milled at
the Cleary Hill Mines 90. mill in
the Fairbanks district.
Extensive exploration and de-
velopment programs were con-
Quoted on the Big Hurrah lode
gold mine in the Nome district
and on the Nixon Fork lode-gold
mine in the McGrath district.

In 1853 as in 1852, interest and

Senator Seeks Recall
Of Retired Bankerf for
New Coffee Inquiry
BY the Associoted Press

A Senator investigating high
coffee prices said today he wants
more testimony from a witness
who was retired as a bank presi-
dent after saying Latin Ameri-
cans were "apt pupils" in price
raising.
Senator Bush. Republican, of
Connecticut referred to Chester
R. Dewey. retired president Of
the Grace National Bank of
New York. Senator Bush said
he was sorry if Mr.. Dewey was
retired because of his testimony
and I hope he returns for more. /"
The bank said Mr.. Dewey was
retired because of age.
Mr.. Dewey testified January
20 before a Senate Banking sub
committee. Subsequently Andrew
B. Shea, first vice president of
the Grace Co. and chairman Of
the banks board, got out a
statement in Bogota, Colombia,
saying the Grace organization
believed United States coffee
prices are governed by the law
of supply and demand and are
not attributable to any artificial
control Of coffee stocks or sales"
Charges made in the United
States that high coffee prices
were caused by speculation or
market manipulation have be-
come sore subject in Latin
American countries where coffee
is grown. A number of their
spokesman have insisted that
supply and demand and spe-
officially reduction in stocks
caused by a frost in Brazil are
responsible for the soaring re-
tail cost.
The United States yesterday
turned down q bid by Latin
American coffee-producing coun-
tries to help them combat what
their representatives called a
Campaign against the con-
sumption Of coffee"
The Inter-American Coffee
Commission, in which producing
countries and the United States
are represented. adopted two
companion resolutions voicing
concern over such a campaign
and calling for action to counter
act it.
