Opening lead, eight OF clubs.
1t would appear to be good busi-
ness reasoning that where it is con-
venient to try for slam below the
game level that method is preferable
to making your effort after a game
contract has been reached The SIM
pie reason is that you will have eX-
plored the slam possibilities of the
hand and are in position to quit
without having jeopardized the
game itself.
do not mean that you must not
occasionally invite your partner to
bid slam by calling something like
five spades On certain hands that
is inevitable. But where it is Just as
convenient to fire your big salvo
early in the fray. you may avoid the
risk of being set at contract of
one over game.
Today's hand is an illustration Of
Just that point. North opened with
one diamond and South responded
with one heart. He chose not to
make an immediate jump shift be-
cause without having as yet deter
mined good place to play the hand
he did not wish to start a slam con-
versation. 1t was only after North
rebid one spade that South began
to show an interest in slam. He
made the mistake, however, of bid
ding three spades and North nat
urally went to four South feeling
that he had not yet tried for slam
did so at this point by showing the
ace of clubs. North signed off with
five spades and South retired. but it
was too late. The damage had been
wrought and when trumps broke
badly the contract was defeated a
trick.
This was bit OF hard luck that
could have been obviated by proper
management. When South recog :
nized slam possibilities, he should
have given the slam signal below.
game by jumping in new suit. It
is true that he hasn't really another
suit, but that does not matter much,
because, regardless of what partner
does, South is prepared to return to
spades. If North should be a little
nervous about raising the clubs to
four and decide merely to rebid the
diamonds, South could jump again
this time to four spades and in this
manner will have succeeded in show
ing a very powerful hand within the
game level.
1t is we'll to note that a jump from
one spade to three spades should not
be employed when slam is in con-
temptation. When slam is in the air
jump in a new suit is the proper
/ procedure. This avoids trying for a
slam later by overbidding the game.
Tomorrow's Problem.

Take My Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.
Readers Corner.

From T. w. R., Savannah: This
item contains curious error which
at first glance seemed to me to be
entirely appropriate: Many Of the
bomb-damaged homes have been
rendered completely inhabitable"
Answer-Ah, now we have a good
match for that other two-faced word
invaluable, which means (a) worth
less, (b' precious beyond estima-
ton. Inhabitable literally means
not habitable," for it is formed
from habitable plus the negative pre-
fix in. But it has also come to mean
''inhabitable; fit for habitation," and
most people use it in that sense.
Therefore, it is necessary for us to
resort to this beautiful example OF
the double negative, uninhabitable,
which actually means ''habitable."
since the two negatives. un and in,
cancel each other and create an
affirmative word.
From S. c.. Buffalo: Add to your
list of queer names these small
towns of upper New York: Stone
Arabia pronounced STUN rah-
bee), Tunkethandle, Awasting, Peek
amoose and Vroomans Nose CVroo-
mans is pronounced like Romans
with ''v'' before the "R'D.
AnSwer-For good measure. let's
add Wham, La; Mouse Tail. Tenn
Wide Mouth, Va, and Hot Coffee,

Coast Guard cites Alaska
 Activities

A far cry from the Revenue Cut ter Service from which it sprang, the Coast Guard tomorrow, Aug ust f, celebrates it's 155th ami Yersary with hundreds of it's yes sells and thousands of men literal ly scattered to the four winds.
 In contrast to the Revenue sery- ice of 1790, with its tiny fleet of small sailing vessels restricted to coastal waters, the Coast Guard today has some 170,000 men and women Always Ready" Nearly all of the 300 transport vessels of Americas mighty fleet that are manned by Coast Guardsmen are in foreign waters, many in combat zones. In addition, the Coast Guard is at the wheel of approximately 500 Cutters, 22O Army cargo yes sells and nearly three thousand small craft employed in escort and harbor security work.
 Similarly, the Coast Guard in Alaska has taken great strides since it first sent the cutter Lin coin into northern water shortly after purchase of this territory m 1887. Throughout the history Ol the far north Coast Guardsmer and their ships appear as an in- tegral part of the building of Al aska.
 Probably most famous name or the now well-worn pages of the Territory's story is that of tht one-time Scotch whaler-the Bear A staunch barkentine, the Beal first sailed into Alaskan waters il 1886 under the command of Capt M. A. Healy. For more than fortJ years her oak-sheathed sides anC iron-protected bottom battered th' storms and ice packs to perform the countless tasks needed to hell keep the early pioneers in thu realm of the living Even Capt Healy made a contribution a bi beyond the call of his duty as 1

sailor, bringing the Iirst reindeer into Alaska from Siberia
 During subsequent years addi tional vessels and many fore men were sent to Alaska to handle duties of the Coast Guard, which were steadily expanding Combina- tion of the Life Saving Service with the Revenue Cutter Service formed the Coast Guard in 1915, and greatly increased the tasks ot the service
 Until the outbreak of the pres ent global conflict the Coast Guard was the Territory's foremost mili- tary service and comparable in many ways to Canada's Northwest Mounted Police When Alaska was placed in the position of becoming a menaced northwest frontier of the continental United States, the Coast Guard was quick to join with Territorial officials and other branches of the armed forces t0 set up barriers against invasion.
 The first measures taken in the war dealt with protection of pro perty and security of Alaskan ports. the latter job being very similar to that of any ports within the United States. Additional pa trols, including those of the sky, were put into effect at once in or der to make certain the Pearl liar bor sneak attack would not be duplicated in the north.
 All preparations paid dtyidends when Japanese forces landed Oh the island of Kiska in June Oi 1922 and repeated the process oa Attu after sending their bomber over Dutch Harbor. The air raio against the naval and air base on unalaska resulted in only nghl casualties and moderate damage and it was not long before CoasJ Guard cutters were steaming oui os Dutch Harbor as guards lJi transports carrying soldiers to Aleutian battlegrounds.
 Vessels of the Coast Guard wers in the thick of things when An- eriean forces smashed ashore e. Amchitka in January of l943, ant again were at the wheels of lana. ing craft that pushed their bows against the rocky beach at Attu iu May of the same year.
