Inferiority.

IF INFTRIoRITY. of some sort is as
universal as some psychologists
make 1t out to be. If inferiority is,
indeed, the dictator Of all life-progress
how did 1t get its startp What, in
brief, is the genesis of inferiority?
Psychologists agree that inferiority
begins in childhood. Some say that
the child's physical size is the first
condition for the creation of inferi-
ority. Being actually smaller than his
adult companions, he begins TO COM
pensate for this physical deficiency by
boastful talk and by sei1ng opportuni-
ties 10 SHOW off,"
1t is true that small boys, II asked
10 say what they will be when they
grow up, usually say that they will be
policemen, soldiers and so forth. Their
day-dreams run in the direction of
officious callings. They would do the
things that attract attention, that
command respect; in brief, the things
that would compensate for the help
less feeling of inferiority
In addition to the physical condi-
tons of childhood, the child is i'm
pressed with his inferior position
through the sheer force of suggestion.
His clothes are cut along different
lines from those of his adult COM
panions. Then his opinions are usu-
ally heavily discounted as Childish. ="
Participation in adult activities. is
often forbidden on the ground that
he is a child. Against his will. he is
literally forced to accept the imputa-
Lfnn that he is inferior.

Conquering Contract
BY r. HAL SIMS.

Both North and South placed excess
values in each others hands.
After the double South didn't know
whether to 60 back to four spades or
not. He finally decided that north
had four trumps to an honor for him,
plus long spade suit, and passed.
West dutifully opened the deuce
of clubs. East took his two club
tricks and returned a diamond. At
this point south felt that he didn't
have a chance in the world of max
ing the contract. With the old de-
clarer never-say-die spirit, however,
he set about it doggedly. Basing his
play on Vests double. he led the jack
of hearts from his hand West COW
cred with the queen, king took in
dummy, and a small heart was re-
turned. With a silent prayer. South
finessed the nine spot.
Now it is evident that East has held
at least three hearts to the ten orig
inally. Could he have possibly held
four hearts? Ridiculousi South
banged down the ace of hearts-both
the outstanding trumps fell together
and dummy's spades provided dis
cards for all of South's losing dia-
monds. Result, South made five
hearts, doubled at four.
Without the double, South is bound
to finesse hearts the natural way and
be set one or more tricks.

That Word "Hiccough. "

WE HAVE an inquiry from q
w reader on the origin OF the
word "EIiccough," or as she asks. Is
it 'hickup,' 'hiccup' or 'hiccough?
The word is nut which etymologists
have long tried to crack. 1t is used
and has found its way into the die
tionary in several varieties of spelling
as "hickup." "hiccup." "hiccough!"
Yet the only definitely authoritative
conclusion as to its origin is that 1t Is
not derived from cough!
The consensus is that the term Is
an initiative one. certainly not dis
similar to the sound resulting from
that uncomfortable seizure in the res
piratory tract which it names!
Specifically, a hiccup is caused by
a spasmodic inspiration, consisting OF
contraction of the diaphragm and
closing of the glottiS, so that further
entrance of air is prevented, while the
column of air entering and striking on
the closed glottis causes the sound we
call hiccough!
