West correctly discarded a dia- mond. refusing to waste his trump ace on an overruff. lsrer now led the spade queen, and West was not slow about taking the trick. A diamond shift put East in with the ace. and when East retumed still another heart (even though dummy was now void of that suit), Soutll was in a hopeless position. His king and queen of trumps were gone; he now had only the jack and ten i high trumps against West's ninefive. If South. ruffed this present heart lead with an honor.

These of a kind of plaited network of moose or other slnews stretched upon a frame of ash. or some eq- ually tough wood. the whole con- struction resembling that of on or- dinary tennis racket. They were approximately 12 inches in length by l5iA inches wide. Persons living in Greenland use eye-protectors made of wood with narrow horizontal slits for each eye. like those commonly used by the inhabitants of the Arctic reg- ions. These are very serviceable. especially for the reason that there is no glass to collect moisture and obstruct the vieii Many lighthouses throughout the world occupy lonely sites but the loneliest of them all is Reykjanacs in Iceland. The spot is one of absolute desolation. and is undel- ally exposed to shocks of earth- quake. Here's the way most Eskimo women wash their clothes: First. they wet the clothes. then spread them on rocks. and rub them over with soap. Then they are ro1Ted into a bundle. dropped into a pool -and trampled on. Believe it or not. but there's a peculiar north wind in Labrador called the ”attuarnek". It is an inconceivable thing; to imagine it is impossihln: you must see it, hear it, feel it. It comes from the chosen plains and valleys of the north-west. rushing along in one ceaseless roar and filling the land with snow. No living thing can face it. Buildings are torn from their foundation. snow-houses are frayed thin; travellers are lost. When an Eskimo kills .a seal or a deer. he knows how to utilize every bit of the animal. The meat becomes breakfestind dinner and sup ;tha skinisturnediinto mg or boats or bedding; the sinews make thread for sewing; bowel is split and stitched for win- dow panes;' even the bones are used to make scrapers for skins. What's left over can be used as food for the dogs. The Welsh people did not live towns until comparatively ro- oently. so that until the mi ation of farm workers to the cos -fields in the 19th. century the Welsh were and bred, for generation in the atmosphere of the country. and Maxwell, A soc has covers made from oodfiah skin. even today, when numerically the industrial townsmen predominates it is the country background that makes Welsh life unique. And it is interesting to note that there is a wide distinction between the Welsh highlanders and those that live in the valleys and along the sea coast. Indeed, there are many racial types to puzzle the anthropologists. The Welsh. are strong believers in fairies, witchcraft and super- stitions. These strange tales have descended from the very lemotest days. Let me narrate a few of these before closing today's col- umn. There was the lady of Lyny Fan Each. who stole the heart oi a shepherd and whose dowry ws; livestock unlimited. This fairy bride and her husband lived hap- pily enough until one day he struck her. Immediately the fairy lady collected all her livestock and re- turned beneath the sea whence. sheld come. She left three sons on arth who became famous as med- lcal men. The little folk of the moors are friendly though mlschlevious peo- ple. They make- their homes in deep caves, and stable their liva- stock beneath the waters of hot- tomless lakes. Their wom are beautiful beyond words. and il won as wives they bring good fortune to the husbands; for they have an uncanny knowledg of herbs that can cure any ailment in man or beast. They never say a word. All is done by signs. When in contact with ordinary folk, they must ob- serve ccrtain taboos. the chief be- ing the touch of iron; a fairy wife if struck in play or accident, will vanish like mist before the sun. of fairy wives are quite common in all rural districts of Wales. There are, however, wick- ed llttlc people as well as good; and in particular they have the detestable habit of leaving their ugly brats as changeiings. In the fairy stories which have been hand- ed down in the Garden of the Gulf to the present time. we can get the echo of tales told before in HEWING 5" waiomrs I c -. defeatable contract was beaten. --mmmmm CLAIM 87 KILLED ATHENS (AP)-The anti-British underground group Eoka claimed today to have killed as British troops and wounded 88 in Cyprus between Nov. 17 and Dec. 18.
