some silly thing
In hunting ion

Clay tablets with arithmetic les
sons" on them have been found in
the country once known as Baby
lonia. These tablets date back sew
eral thousand years.
What queer numbers those peo-
pie used! A circle represented the
figure 10" The figure Il" was
shown by a part-circle, or crescent,
or else by small triangle.
When three crescents were placed
in a row. they stood for the fig
ure 80"
To write '24," q Babylonian put
down two circles, with four cres-
cents, or four triangles, after them.
A pointed stick was used as PEN
Gil. One end of the stick was round
and blunt, and could be used as an
eraser" to press back the soft clay
when a mistake was made. The
round, blunt end was also employed
to press circles in the clay.
The Babylonians seem to have
used a multiplication table which
went up as high as So times So.
Think of what that must have
meant to school pupils in those days!
Babylonian writing has been
traced back to picture words. In time
the pictures came to be simple

Readers Corner.

From Capt. w. E. S., Los Angeles:
When I was staff announcer for
NBC in New York, I came across
this tongue-twister in an addition
test for embryo announcers. Try
it on your readers:
A plumber was called to a home
for the repair of some water pipes.
The lady of the house asked the
plumber if he was copper plating
the pipes. The plumber replied:
No, mum, I'm aluminuming EN-,
mum"
From J. T. B.. Norfolk: Here Is
an interesting pair of words:
widow
widoWer
The masculine noun is formed by
adding a SuffiX, -er, to the feminine
form. Do you know of any other
such pairs?
Answer: Not offhand. It's usu-
ally the other way around: actor,
actress; waiter. waitress, etc.
From j. S. Y, Santa Monica: MY
wife, an excellent cook, would like
to have the recipe for cooking the
food" described in this clipping
from California paper:
From the wrecked Jap plane the
survivors salvaged a pistol, swords,
map and parachutes. This was
all the food they had besides COCO
nuts"
Answer: Simply add hot water
and serve with bicarbonate of soda.
From S. L., Indianapolis: The So
ciety cloumn speaks of ''the BRIDE
to-be's parents" Imagine "be"
having a father and mother!
Answer: Reminds me of the re-
mark of the little girl next door:
Mrs. Wilson is the boy that lives
across the streets mother"

Some Babylonian cities had IL

sands of clay tablets. Many of these
tablets have been studied and the
writing on them tells about the
kings Of the country and the pub
lie laws. We also find on them lists
of birds, insects and beasts.
Letters were written on pieces OF
clay, and some of these still exist
From them we learn about business

Opening lead: Eight of clubs.
What is your opinion of double
on lead?" is a question which comes
to me in the mail with consistent
frequency. They ask for an answer
in terms of good or bad" which
places me somewhat in the position
of a Negro who undertook to answer
a similar inquiry regarding women.
They amt no bad Ones" he insisted,
"some's just better than others"
AS to the merits of any lead the
answer usually takes the form, TT
all depends" Precept cannot re-
place judgment. In commenting on
the doubleton lead there comes to
mind an outstanding comment mace
by one of my favorite partners. "One
of the troubles with a doubleton
lead" he said, "is that you can't
always tell when it's a singleton"
The East in today's hand was able
to reach the correct answer by very'
tidy reasoning.
Against the final contract of four
hearts West elected to lead the eight
of clubs. 1t was without the sanction
Of this department, which is old
fashioned enough to lead the unbid
suit when everything else has been
shown and no-trump has not been
tried. Despite the fact that it in
volved leading away from the king,
our choice would have been for the
two of diamonds. The trick was won
in dummy and the heart finesse
tried. West won and shifted to the
two of diamonds. East won with the
ace and it looked for all the world as
though West were trying for club
ruff. West was doing everything to
becloud the issue. He might have
saved some wear and tear on part
ner's nerves if he returned the king
Of diamonds, since if declarer has
both the ace and queen all is lost
anyhow
East did some counting and
finally came the conclusion that the
eight of clubs was not singleton.
1t was a little involved but sound.
West could not have more than four
diamonds since he led the two, that
gives declarer at least three dia-
monds. In order to bid an ace-iack
suit three times South must have
six hearts, that account for nine.
Since one of South's other four
| cards is almost certainly the ace
of spades he can have no more than
three clubs. If it is argued that
Souths side trick might have been
the king and queen of diamonds
and that he was void of spades. the
answer is that West would then
have had a very fine f1ve-card spade
suit and the king of hearts and
would surely have made a nonvul-
nerable overcall of one spade.
/ On this line of reasoning East
decided to save 80 points and re-
