T axe My Word for 1t
your brother.
BY FRANK COLBY.
A Word to the Wise.

Some time ago I coined the term
stop lights Of speech" to designate
those recommendations or mannerisms
which snap the listeners attention,
and cause his mind to switch from
what is being said to how it is being
said I chose the word stop light
because it accurately describes the
manner in which the listeners mind
puts on the brakes and comes to a
full stop the instant a speaker or
broadcaSter uses an erroneous pro-
nunciation, or indulges in any lin
guistic trick that is unorthodox,
pompous or affected.
This is an extremely important
fact of which all public speakers
need to be frequently reminded.
Let us say that we are listening
to speaker on a radio program.
He has our complete attention as
he scores one convincing point after
another. But suddenly the red light
flashes STOP as he says, "I have
bean told that"
An announcer Is extolling the
excellence of a new radio receiving
set. His voice is pleasing, his deliv-
cry is polished and his sales talk
has us almost reaching for the
check book. But his automatic

MARARu
RyIUIIAN cox ATurX


In the Cuban province of Cana
guey, the marabu was introduced
as an ornamental plant and given
its name, which means half breed.
1t Is also known in Cuba as the
acacia, mimosa and devils thorn.
The marabu has become an ag-
gressive intruder of agricultural
lands in Cuba. Because of its thorns
the lmpenetrable thickets formed by
the rapidly growing shrubs or trees,
1t IS a difficult plant to eradicate.
To cut down a marabu merely de-
lays its progress. 1t carries on
through its lateral roots. Even a
very small piece left in the ground
will produce a plant in time.
Today, in Cuba. hundreds of thou
sands OF acres are covered with
marabu. In her early history, Cuba
used some of her finest forest trees
to ship lumber to Spain. There was
no reforestation. Again, after the
World War, when the sugar boom
was on, more forest areas were de-
stroyed. Most of these acres are
now covered with dense growths Of
marabu.
1neSe plants are from II to Is
feet high. The leaves closely re-
semble those of the mimoSa, being
bi-pinnately arranged, on the stem.
They are small with a leathery tex
ture. The flowers resemble small,
colorful bottle brushes. The upper
half is a greenish yellow, the lower
plnklsh lavender. When the mar
abu bursts into bloom in April the
flowers. dangling from all the
branches, give the effect of a glori-
ously decorated Christmas tree.
The flowers remain until late sum-
mer- All leaves are shed during the
winter
Cuba has derived some benefits
from the menacing plants. Her an
nual income from marabu- charcoal
is $2,000,000. 1t also provides a de-
pendable source of fuel for rural
residents.
A small amount of the wood is
made into furniture and canes. In
West Africa, a fiber is obtained from
the bark. Tool handles are made
from the larger roots and baskets
from the finer ones.

The actual bidding:
North East South West
IL Pass INT Pass
3NT Pass Pass Pass
Opening lead: Three of spades.
It's a sad day in the life of any
bridge player when he loses his rose
colored glasses. Viewed through
these lenses, a part score OCCASION
ally becomes distorted into a phan-
tom game, but by and large the
optimist has a distinct edge over
his sour-faced antagonist. With all
his natural advantages, however,
the optimist could learn thing or
two from Calamity Jane of yester-
year. Jane could always see trouble
brewing whether it existed or not
and consequently would have landed
on her feet had she been declared
in today's hand.
South became declarer at a con-
tract of three no-trump and the
bidding sequence is recorded as it
actually took place. I, for one, can
not see eye to eye with South on his
response of one no-trump. While it
Is the current practice to treat a
one no-trump response to an OPEN
ing club bid as denoting a reason
ably good hand, nevertheless san
see nothing to be gained by making
mat response on this particular
holding. With the completely de-
fenseless spade situation, it might
very well be that partner would well
come a lead in that suit. My pref
erence would have been for the per-
fectly natural raise to two clubs and
when North went on to two no.
trump the rest would be easy. AS a
matter of fact, North would have
gotten very favorable diamond
lead, which would Immediately have
put him one trick to the good.
West led the three of spades, the
nine was played from dummy and
won by East's jack. The seven Of
spades was returned and declarer
took with the queen in dummy.
With eight top card tricks in sight
declarer need but establish one ad-
dltional trick in clubs to fulfill con-
tract. This appeared so simple a
matter that declarer without cere-
mony laid down the ace and another
club, and in that instant tossed the
game out the window.
When all appears to be going well
f1eetlng thought might be given to
the possibility of some major acci-
dent. The only one possible was
four or five clubs in one hand. If
they all happen to be banked in the
West hand the play of the ace will
be disastrous. With any other
holding all is well. To guard against
such disaster declarer could have
played low club from dummy, in
tending to play the eight if an honor
does not appear. Let us presume
that the eight loses to the ten. De-
clarer then leads a club from his
own hand and if an honor is not
played he inserts the seven from
dummy. If the seven loses the rest
OF the suit must fall If it wins,
there you are. If at the second
trick West shows out, the ace is
played from dummy and the return
toward the queen established the
second trick in the suit.
