Despite the fact that in English
g before "a" is always hard lex
cept in the word gaol, which is pro-
nounced 'jail'D, Sc per: cent of all
voters preferred the "j" sound in
the second syllable. B4t the IA per
cent who voted for the hard 'g'
sound we're loud in their insistence
that any other pronunciation is
barbaric and unthinkable.
For instance, L. F. C. of Washing
ton observed, 1T is sad to contem-
plate the dense ignorance of the
English-speaking people of their
own language Mrs. j. H. H. of
Claremont, Calf, declared, John
q. Public is pronouncing margarine
in direct violation of every rule and
precedent of English! No matter
what others may do, I will say
MAHR-guh-rin to the end of the
chapter!"
Nevertheless, Mr.. and Mrs. John
@. have registered humping ma
jority of So per cent for MAHR-
juh-rin. And no one, not even the
makers of dictionaries, can ignore
vox populi
My sincere thanks to all OF you
for your friendly aid in conducting

Defense is commonly regarded as
more difficult phase of the game
than the play of the dummy. The
reason appears to be that declarer
sees before him his entire 26 tools,
while defender can see only l3 and
must infer some of his partners
cards from the bidding, his leads
and discards. Sometimes, however.
partners possession of a certain card
can be inferred by the manner in
which declarer plays. Today's hand
is an illustration.
Against the game contract West
led the three of hearts which is un-
questionably the proper procedure,
though he holds the king of the suit.
So many players are in the habit OF
leading through dummy'S suit from
holdings of this kind. 1t should be
evident that tricks must be built up
in hurry on this hand before de-
clarer extracts trumps and estab-
fishes dummy's suit for discards.
Declarer took the opening lead with
the ace and tried the trump fnesse.
West won and decided to cash his
two tricks for book" and then trust
that his partner held either the king
of clubs or the king of diamonds for
the setting trick AS soon as he
caShed the king of hearts his death
warrant was sealed.
Vests play was very illogical. The
importance of getting East in
promptly in order to obtain lead
up to the ace-queen of clubs should
have been apparent. The surest way
! to get partner in was with a low
heart. Declarer's play makes it
good gamble that East has the queen
Of that suit. If declarer held that
card he would no doubt not have
gone up with the ace (since there
was no danger of ruff, but would
have let it ride to his queen.
East, of course, was guilty of con-
tributory negligence. On the open
ing lead, when the ace was played
from dummy, he should have sig
nailed with the nine. There is surely
no other suit that he would like
partner to shift to, and it might be
desirable for him to get in earlier
in order to lead to dummy's weak
ness in clubs.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE majors

The minors are asking for in

New York in late May, the lower
classification circuits drew up a list
of changes to be incorporated into
the agreement. This will be the
first opportunity for the majors to
discuss the proposed changes.
