T axe Ny Word for 1t
Standing By our
BY FRANK COLBY.
"Jabberwocky."

Santa Monica: In Victoria Lin
coins book, Grandmother and the
Comet" this line appears: TT was
the perfect house in which to sit
around as mimsy as a borogove and
be fed by the ravens" Please ex-
plain.--Mrs. w. v. N.
Answer: The words are from the
poem "Jabbeerwocky', in CAROLS
Through the Looking Glass and
What Alice Found There The
first stanza reads:
Twas brillig, and the shthy toves
Did eyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimSy were the borogoveS,
And the nome raths outgrabe.
None of the words have any
meaning. They correspond exactly
to the modern double talk. Author
Lincolns use of "mimsy" and
"borogove" is nothing more than
delightful whimSy.
Lewis Carroll was fond of coin
ing nonsense words for the delight
Evening star., 1944-10-31
Uncle Roy's Corner

The Island of Crete has an area
OF 5000 square miles. which means
that it has about three times as
much land as the State of Rhode
Island. There were 1886, 900 people
census before the present war.
Crete is a part of Greece, and is
the largest of the many islands near
Greece. Old tales of the Greeks,
said that Zeus, their greatest god,
was born on the island.
In later centuries the story tellers
/ of Crete added something to the
Greek myths. They said that Zeus
had come back to the place of his
birth and had died and was buried
there. According to the Greek idea,
a god was being who could not die,
but times changed and the tale
spread that Zeus was dead.
Other strange stories were told
by Cretans long ago. One of these
said that King Minos received
tablets from Zeus, with laws which
the people should follow. We even
hear about man of bronze" who
walked around Crete three times
each day. The truth may be that
the man of bronze" was a gov
ernment officer who carried the
laws of Minos on bronze tablets.
| The modern capital of Crete Is
a city named Gambia. Long ago
the capital was Cnossus. and it was
there that the Palace of Minos was
built.
Among the remains of Cnossus
are stone sewers. which are in good
condition to this day. They were
laid down from $500 to 1000 years
ago.
Various objects have been taken
from the Palace of Minos. Among
these are small porcelain statues of
a snake goddess and her helpers.
The figures hold snakes in their
hands. The art of snake charm
ing" perhaps goes back thousands
Of years.
Another object is the head of a
bull which was carved out of soap
stone. Rock crystal and jasper were
used to form the eyes. The head is
fitted with a pair of large horns,
and is indeed lifelike.
/ There is a large hole in the bulls
head, behind the horns. and this
leads to the belief that it was used
to hold liquid. Perhaps it was a
vessel employed for meetings where
sacrifice was given to gods or god
deSses of Crete.

defenders got three club tricks to
put the contract down two before
declarer had an opportunity to do
anything more than follow suit.
Obviously the bidding was not
ideal -. and yet it is difficult to
point to really bad bid by either
North or South. South, with two
and a half high card tricks and a
seven-card spade suit. has substan-
tally more than minimum over
call to justify his rebid; North has
a perfectly sound free raise with
perhaps an extra jack or so to war
rant going to game. Shall we admit.
then, that the proper, or at least
the unavoidable contract, on the
combined hands is four spades?
No bidding system is perfect
enough to avoid sets-but here the
trouble is not matter of system,
but of lack of imagination on
South's part. His opponents an
nounced strength in the very suits
in which he held five losers. North.
with strength in these suits, might
well have tried two no-trump rather
than two spades. 1t was logical.
therefore. to expect that North's
outside strength was in diamonds
where it would be of no value what
ever to South. Perhaps South
should, therefore, have discounted
his spade length and passed to two
spades. We say only perhaps: it
would have taken a shrewd player
indeed to do so.
