Take My Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.
Surprise Word

There is more than one surprise
IN the word brassiere
To begin with. when we borrowed
this word from the French, we gave
1t an altogether unorthodox meaning,
for the French brassiere is not a
woman's supporting bandeau. 1t is
q small garment used to bind the
stomach of an infant; or. In the
plural, the straps of knapsack.
Also, brassiere is commonly mis-
pronounced brush h-ZHEAR.
The first choice pronunciation is
approximately as the French say
the word: Brass -ee-AIR. The sec
ond choice is: Bruh-ZEER.
Capitals indicate syllables to be

plastics, the casein of milk for arti-
fetal wool, wheat straw for f1bel
board, etc.
The noun chemurgy is accented on
the first syllable: the adjective che
murgic is accented on the second
syllable. Both words begin with The
sound of *" as:
KEN -er-jee; kem- Err jik.

When this hand was played in the
national mems pair championship
at Asbury Park, N. j.. early in Au-
gust, West opened the singleton
deuce of diamonds. South won and
led the jack of hearts. West played
the three of hearts, and South went
into a long huddle. Should he play
the king or should he let the jack
of hearts ride for a finesse?
After much agonizing, ne decided
to let the jack ride, and East won
with the heart queen. A diamond
return allowed West to ruff with his
remaining low trump; and then the
heart and club aces were cashed to
defeat the contract.
The finesse of the jack of hearts
obviously lost the contract for South.
If he had played dummy's king, he
would have lost only one trump
trick-and perhaps West would not
have dared underlead his club ace
to get the diamond ruff. In either
case, South would have made his
contract. But did South merely
make an unfortunate guess, or
should he have known that it was
correct to play the heart king from
the dummy at the second trick?
1t was a bridge crime for South
to let the jack of hearts ride for
finesse. West was an expert, and
first-class players do not lead sin
eletons without some reasonable ex-
pectation of gaining the lead again
before trumpS are drawn. Usually,
the leader of a singleton has natu-
raj trump trick to give him that
expectation. South should therefore
have played West for the heart ace;
and thus should have played
dummys heart king at the second
trick.

 For while, April tried to forget the problem that faced her in the morning. She made herself feel con- fident that Ann would return. If Ann didn't, surely there'd be some way to sidestep Kent. You could al- ways send notes.
 So she danced with the three men in turn; lighted their cigarets since she didn't smoke; listened as they made love in their bantering way. But through the haze of smoke and the blur of music, Rents face kept coming before her.
 
 It was Hal who had way Of understanding her better than any, one she'd ever known, who eXtricat- ed her early and drove her home.

 She stammered an answer. "Oh, maybe it's this war business, the men going to training camps. You'll be leaving, too, Hal?"
 Hal was handsome, with smooth dark hair and mustache that gave him debonair, man-about town look. He wore a tuxedo with born grace, knew how to do things the right way. And yes, Hal was going places. ..
 "Td like to be in uniform right now" he was saying. But I'm in chemical research at the plant on rush order for the government, SO it looks as if I'd be kept there for while. Is that what was worry ing you, April?"

MISLEADING MILES

MlSLEAD1NG MALES
 Realization that our oceans no longer form the great barriers they once did reveals that some places we once thought remote from the U. s. are closer than we think. Fig uring distance as the crow flies, how would you answer these questions about mileages between the old and new worlds?
 1. Is it farther from Washington D. C., to Washington state than from Dakar, Africa, to Natal, South America?
 2. Are the Azores closer to New York than the Hawaiian Islands are to San Francisco?
 3. Is it farther from Newfound- land to Ireland than from New York City to Mexico City?
 4. Is Miami closer to Natal, South America, than Gibraltar?
 5. Which is farthest: from the Panama Canal to New Orleans, from New Orleans to Seattle, or from Seattle to Siberia?

|Mari|ea Hanson Reports Trip
Fo Nations CAPITAL

Others interviewed by Marilea
were Senators Taft, McNary, Brews-
ter, Bridges, Joe Martin-her po-
litical affiliations are evident-and
Frank Knox, secretary of the Navy,
as well as numberless employees of
OPM. The delegation met Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Mrs. Roosevelt
briefly at a church service.
Busy City
Washington was full of liberals
Marilea observed, crowded, with an
atmosphere of hustle and intrigue
and there and throughout the coun-
try "you can see that America Is
arming for on every train and in
every city We saw hundreds OF
soldiers being transported to var
ious places. The navy yards, the
F. B. I. office and various army
and navy headquarters as well as
factories, were closed to the pub
lic."
The D. A. r. convention was Won
derful and in addition the girls saw
everything of interest; Mt. Vernon,
and all the famous places in WASH
ington itself. Marilea also found
her fellow companion most inter-
esting-each a definite individual
SO that they had plenty OF argu-
ments, especially in politics with
the representatives from the SOUTH
ern states.
The Cities
New York was thrilling, New Or
leans delight, and one of the most
interesting parts of the trip was
the visit at the D. A. r. school at
Cutters mountain in Alabama. This
was once known as the darkest
spot in America and the D. A. r.
school was established teaching the
families proper methods of farming
giving them information In regard
to health, to crafts, and doing a
wonderful thing in making these
people American citizens"
"I'll never, never forget this trip
as long as I live" declared Cali
fornia's able representative. But
the thing that shocked me the most
was that everywhere people say
they don't want war, but that they
know 1t is coming and If they don't
want it, why don't they do some
thing?"

IN Washington you know less
about what's going on than any
where else because no one wants
Ito talk for fear of being quoted
commented Marilea Hanson, Gen.
tral student and daughter OF DR..
and Mrs. A. B. Hanson, who has
lust returned from the capital
where she, and AZ otner girls, each
representing state in the union,
were the guests of the D. A. r. on
the annual good citizenship pilgri-
magesh sheld in connection with the
ID. A. RS national congress.
THE thing that impressed me
the most is the hugeness of America
andA the fact that it's people are
hll alike, SO kind and so thoughtful
and it's SO beautiful with California
as the crowning glory" said the
native Californian.
Even with differences In accent
and in appearance-and in the
East the women dress SO formally
with hats and gloves always-the
people are the same, always seeing
that strangers are taken care of
and so glad to do things for YOU
Interviews
Marilea had interviews with many
national figures but remarked that
while, to her surprise, most OF them
we're most accessible and very cour-
teous in giving her great deal OF
their.time, the majority were rather
evasive when questioned on current
ssues-"except wnen I took them
by surprise by having a list of
questions already prepared, and then
sometimes they forgot and told me
what they really thought"
Fulton Lewis, Jr., commentator
whom Marilea interviewed, is "di-
Rine", young, full of ideas, attrac-
i've, with a deep voice much deeper
han his radio voice, and with
xeen sense of humour. According
70 Marilea's report, Lewis has very
definite ideas, is very intellectual
and impressed upon her the fact
that it is not politics but public
affairs"
