Take MyWord for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY,
Length-Strength

1t is noted that some speakers
though certainly not the majority
emit the "g' in length and strength,
thus: "Len'th," "strenth." But this
is dlalectal and will be avoided by
careful speakers. Be sure to give the
nasal ing" sound to both words.
Also, do not let the radio tempt
you to leave the ing" sound out OF
such words as banquet, congress
conquer. There is no sanction for
CON -gress," "BAN-kwet," CON
ker," The authorities list the fol-
lowing correct pronunciaticne:
BANG-kwet.
CONG-gress.

Despite handicaps. the canvasback

CRATE farther South, and some have
been so foolish as to remain in the
North so late that they perish by
freezing in the body of water in
which they have been living.
That does not give the canvas
back a very high 10, when all it has
to do is to raise strong wings and

West led the seven Of clubs.
dummy played low and East won
with the queen. He returned the
eight Of hearts, South won with the
ace and West signaled inexpensively
with the four.
South INDUCED at this point in a
moments thought Eas-'s bidding
indicated that he held six clubs and
five diamonds. West needed five
hearts for his free bid of that suit
on the first round. Hence East had
started with a singleton heart and
a singleton spade.
Declarer therefore led the queen
OF spades for successful finesse,
just to take out East's singleton
trump. Then he led the five of
hearts.
When West played the deuce of
hearts declarer discarded diamond
from dummy! This was the swindle
which gave him his contract. for
South would have been defeated If
West had simply covered the five
of hearts with the seven.
Declarer continued with the Jack
OF hearts, West covered with the
queen and dummy ruffed. South
discarded heart on dummy's dia-
mond ace and ruffed a diamond to
regain the lead. Then he led the
10 Of hearts. West covered with the
king and dummy ruffed with the
ace. South then was able to ruff
himself in. cash the nine of hearts
and concede one trump trick.

Succession Planting
Appeals to Gardeners
Professor Wilkinson. Vegetable Expert, Offers Prace
tical Advice for Second Summer Crop

Storrs, Conn, July 9.-Succession
planting is the order OF the day
with home gardeners. This is a
fancy name invented by vegetable
specialists TO represent the plant
ing Of a new crop on soil that has
just been cleared of an old one.
The green pea season is just about
over and the ground is being cleared
of vines, brush, wire, etc. The soil
can then be hoed or cultivated and
planted to new crop, but not to
beans because these have the same
diseases and ins ect enemies. Other
crops that are on the way out or
soon will be are early spinach, let
tuce, radishes, rare ripe onions and
early beans.
Carrots and beets for winter stor-
age are high on the list that Prof
Wilkinson, University of Connect
cut vegetable specialist, recommends
for succession planting. Hutchin-
son is the variety of carrots recon-
mended for storage with Danvers
red cored and chantenay following
closely. Detroit dark red is advised
as the best variety of beets for
storage. Carrots and beets can be
safely planted as late as July 10.
From four to twelve heads of
Danish ball head cabbage may be
planted now for storage. If the
cabbage is for immediate use, Amer
lean savoy is recommended.
Mr.. Wilkinson recommends plant
ing ten or twelve plants of snow
ball cauliflower at any time up to
July IS. Cauliflower cannot be kept
in storage very long. The same
number of Brussels sprouts may be
planted between now and July IS
and these can remain in the ground
until December or later IL the
weather is mild. Long Island is
the variety recommended. Broccoli

Copies OF Proposed
Ordinance Sent To
Local Contractors
Members of Board of Aldermen Expected to Take
Final Action at First Meeting in August
O'ROurke Makes Comments

Newly revised copies Of the pro-
posed electrical wiring ordinance
were dispatched today to electrical
contractors, factory officials, NUM-
cipal officials, ETC., for the purpose
of giving everybody a chance to
study pertinent clauses before the
next meeting of the board of alder
men" which is scheduled to take
place the first of August, announced
Martin C. O'Rourke, electrical in
spector of the city of Waterbury to-
day.
Mr.. O'Rourke said there was no
reason why any of the present stip-
ulations should be objected to since
the purpose of the proposed ordi-
nance is aimed to provide safety.
In reference to objectiCls voiced
recently by officials of local fac
tories, Mr.. Martin said many of
these factories have what is known
as temporary electrical wiring" He
pointed out that this was a most
hazardous thing, as most temporary
forms of wiring tend to wear out
soon, thus making it dangerous for
employees working there.
Many of these factories install
Temporary wiring" on the pretext
Of replacing them With permanent
