T axe Ny Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.
Saturday Whirligig.

Brooklyn: Why is chaos pro-
nounced with tx" sound, and not
with the "ch" as in church
chicken" n"?-Reader.
Answer-Such words as chaos
chasm, chorus are of Greek origin
In the Greek spelling, the words be-
gin with the letter chi Git looks
something like the letter X, which
has the sound of the English ''k."
Ogden: To settle an argument,
please pronounce the word piquant
M. D. l..
Answer-The word is French, but
in Anglo-American usage the pro-
nounciation is Anghcized thus: PEE
knit. The word means tart; pun
gent; provocative
Little Rock: Our minister pro-
nounces the word coadjutor with
the accent on the "ju." Is this per-
missible?-H. E. w.
Answer-Yes, KOE-uh-JOOter |.

st. Louis: Is it ever correct to ac-
cent horizon on the first syllable p
D. D.
Answer-''HAWR-i-z'n" was once
correct. 1t is the pronunciation
Shakespeare used. But it is now
obsolete. Better say hoe-RY-z'n.
Creston: Does a thing burn up or
burn DOWN.. I.
Arswer-In the American vernac-
ular, buildings burn down. Other

Uncle Ruy's Corner

Here Is letter which brings up
the subject of Latin:
Dear Uncle Ray:
Il am a first-year Latin student
in high school. I am in doubt
whether I should go on with the
subject and am writing you for ad-
vice. I should also like to know if
you were ever a student Of Latin
and, if so, how did it help you in
later life7
Sincerely yours, MABLE HOLT"
1t is hard to give advice about
taking Latin to student whom I
do not know personally. My gen.
eral idea is that boy or girl who
can do good work in language
should profit in studying Latin. On
the other hand, if a student learns
that Latin study takes too much
time and the marks are poor, it
seems hardly worthwhile to go on
with it.
Yes, I studied Latin In high
school. 1t took more time than any
other subject except, perhaps, al
zebra, geometry or German. Yet I
believe it has been of value to me
in more ways than one.
When I studied French In college.
my knowledge of Latin helped me
a great deal Most French words
have Latin roots, and I found it
simple to figure the meaning of
many French words which other
wise would have seemed strange to
me.
The italian, Spanish and Portu-
guese languages also are children
of Latin" A knowledge of Latin
helps a person to learn those Ian
guages more quickly.
Latin also assists us to know our
own language. Great numbers of
English words came from the Latin
and French languages. Since those
from the French language are
mainly of Latin origin, they add to
the English words which can be
traced to Latin.
I speak of these things in answer
to the letter. Yet I do not suggest
that all boys and girls should take
Latin Many may be better off Civ
ing their time to other studies.
UNCLE RAY.

A two-suiter, properly employed,
Is a powerful weapon. In counting
up hand, preparatory to making an
opening bid, it is suggested that the
player holding such a hand add to
values present some indefinite sum
in the vicinity of half a trick. AS a
corollary of this proposition it may
be stated that, in competing against
an announced two-suiter, defender
should not count too heavily on
what appear to be substantial values
in the other two suits. The reason
is perfectly obvious. If player has
two five-card suits (and one of
them may even be a six-card suit
there is not much space left in the
hand for cards of the other suits, in
which you have your pretty array of
high cards.
Let us observe a case from real
life recorded today. North opened
with one spade. Hands of this type
should definitely be opened, though
there is divided thought on the
question of how to start the fight.
Some players depart from the nor
NAL procedure and open with one
club, permitting partner to respond
with one of the red suits, at which
point they hope to bid one spade.
This works out very well If the
enemy is silent, but complications
are apt to set in when competition
takes place.
Easts double of the opening bid
left nothing to be desired. South
decided to take no action, though a
raise to two spades, merely for the
purpose of impeding the opposition,
would have been eXcusable. West
naturally responded with two hearts
and North inserted his three-club
bid because he felt the opposition
could probably go game and he
wished to lay the basis for sacri-
flee bid. East raised the hearts and
now South made belated raise to
three spades, realizing from the bid
ding that partner must be short in
the red suits. West went on to four
hearts and North bid four spades.
At this point East was insulted and
doubled. To his great chagrin the
contract was fulfilled without the
slightest difficulty. He should not
have been surprised. He should
have realized that North had at
least five of each of the black suits
and that he might have six of them,
that no more than three of his red
cards could win, and that it was not
at all remote that the ace of spades
would show up in dummy. South
had to have something East would
have done better to make forcing
pass and leave it to partner, who
would have gone on to five hearts
for only two-trick set. Beware of
two suffers.
