BY Judge futile;

as the "jarabe," and one or more
couples dance around hat AS part
OF the dance, a girl leaves her part
ner and steps on the hat. Then she
proves her skill and sense of balance
by dancing around the brim.
The jarabe was brought into Mex
leo from Spain, where it has been a
popular dance for centuries. Some
OF the other dances of Mexico are
native to the country. They were
invented by Aztecs and other Indians
who lived there before the coming
of Cortez and his soldiers.
One native dance is performed at
night, shortly before food is placed
on the graves of the dead Old men,
or men who act as if they were old,
take part In this dance.
Wearing serapes over their shoul-
ders, the men make short, hating
steps. Their backs are bent during
the dance, as sign of age.
The placing of food on graves goes
back to an old idea that the dead
need something to eat. This idea
was followed by people Of many
countries in ancient times.
A strange cemetery exists at
Guanajuato, city in Central Mex
leo. 1t has tomblike openings which
are rented for burial for a certain
period, usually four years. Later the
remains of the dead are placed in
deep pits.
That, however, is not the strangest
part. Under the cemetery is large
tunnel which contains the mummies
OF scores of men and women. These
mummies are in upright position and
stand in a long row along each side
OF the tunnel. Each mummy is COW
cred with sheet from the neck to
the floor. The thin, dry air of Guam
ajuato is given credit for preserv-
ing the skin on the face of the dead,

South had an easy time making
his six-spade contract, but so far
as his match-point standing on the
board was concerned, he would have
done as well going down trick.
For every other North South pair
in the tournament played the hand
at six hearts, and since the out
standing trumps fell in two leads,
these pairs took 13 tricks. Two Of
North's clubs could be discarded on
South's long spades and a losing
club ruffed with Norths remaining
trump.
Now for the common crime"
Nine out Of 10 players, including
this particular North, are misled
by a purely superficial superiority
OF one kind OF trump support over
another. In this case, North was so
impressed with his king-jack-eight
OF spades as compared to the lowly
ten-three-deuce of hearts. that he
lost all sense of logic. South had
made it quite plain, by his line of
bidding. that he held longer hearts
than spades. North had equal
length in both suits. Why, then.
should he prefer spades as trumps?
Surely If there are heart losers in the
combined hands, they would remain
losers even If, through North's elec-
tion, hearts became the side suit
instead of trumps.

Take My Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.

SURPRISE WORD OF THE WEEK.
The first four letters OF the word
LONGEVITY, long duration of
life," naturally suggest the COM
monty heard long-GEV-i-tee,"
with hard "g" in the second sylla-
BILE. But such a pronunciation has
no dictionary sanction whatever.
In the only authorized pronuncia-
tion, the "g" has the sound of a."
and the first syllable rhymes with
bon, don, thus:
lon-JEV-i-tee.
Another word of similar meaning
is LONG-LIVED. Many persons
pronounce the lived" with the
short "i' as in give" But this is
criticism. Best usage in America
rhymes "-lived" with dived, hived,
strived.
It's Hard to Believe.
Oshkosh: Will you please discuss
the origin of the word SENATE?-
D. H.
Answer: Senate is from the Latin
"oIu SenatuS, Wnlcn Is from SeneX,
man of great age" Senex also
gives us the word senile, meaning
"doddering with old age"
Out Of respect for the august
solons composing the United States
Senate, shall not even hint at the
obvious and literal meaning of the
word senate. No member of the
Upper House will ever be able to
point an accusing finger at me and
say, Prank Colby called us bunch
OF old fogies." No, I have not said
ard shall never say such a thing
Nor shall I point out that the word |
CONGRESS is the modern form of |
