Take My Word for 1t
BY Fronk Colby
What Is the Origin?

Q. Common usage favors "all
told in such sentences as there
were $50 members present, all told"
L am of the opinion that the cor
rect phrase should be "all tolled."
What is your verdict on this?-
c. L. S.
A. I'm sorry that I must dis
approve Of "all tolled."
That "all told" Is the correct
expression Is seen by looking into
the origin Of the word tell. 1t is
from the Anglo-Saxon tellen, mean
ing Ito count" Therefore, "all
told" means "all counted"
This old meaning of the verb to
tell is still used in banking, for a
teller Is primarily a counter of
money. Also, among Roman Cath
olics, it is customary to tell"
Count ones beads (of the rosary.
Tell for count" Is often seen in
the Bible and in Shakespeare: He
telleth (counteth) the number of
the stars" Psalms. while one
with moderate haste might tell
Count a hundred. Hamlet.
Now let us look at "all tolled."
There are two tolls in English
% tax; CD to draw or pull.
Hence, we speak of q toll bridge,
toll road, tollgate, etc. We also
speak of the tolling of a bell, that
is, the striking of bell by means
of pulling on the rope.
In neither of these tolls" is
there any meaning that could be
applied to "all tolled." Therefore,
"tolled" is an incorrect form.
@. My friend and I do not agree
on the meaning of mediocre" Is
he right in holding that it means
average in quality or ability?
R. j. M.
A. AS the word is used today, it
means indifferent; second-rate;
poor; below average" We bor-
rowed the word from the French
who pronounce it: may-dee-AW-
kruh. The English pronunciation
is: NEE dee -OH-ker.
Mediocre entered French from
the Latin mediocris, "in q middle
state between too much and too
little" However, this is really
figurative meaning, for mediocris
is formed from medius, middle"
plus ocris, "a broken, rugged, stony
mountain Strictly speaking, then,
mediocre person is one who is
halfway up mountain.
It's hard to believe, but it's true.
Mr.. Colby's leahet, CO. Have GOT
Have gotten" explains the proper use
of these phrases.

opelllllS ledQ, SIX OF diamonds
The faultless dummy TECHNIQUE
which is an outstanding characters
tlc OF b. j. Becker's game. was much
IN evidence during the play of today,s
hand. taken from an early round of
the worlds championship masters
team-of-four event recently won by
the team composed of Helen Sobel.
Mr.. Becker, Waldemar Won Zedwitz,
Lee Hazen and your reporter.
The bidding herein recorded Is the
sequence adopted at our table, where
Becker, my partner at the time, sat
North. In preference to the orthodox
bid of one spade, I chose to open
with one club, procedure with
which some players will take issue.
l felt that the bidding could be man.
aged more easily if partner were
AFFORDED the opportunity to respond
at the level of one. My partner, with
perfect grace and in good tradition,
responded with one spade. This, in
the big leagues is known as Becker
response" In addition to his many
nne qualities, Mr.. Becker has the
secret knack of almost invariably re-
spending in the openers best suit.
In order to make an early slam try.
l made a jump shift in the only suit
available for the purpose, and after
the hearts were shown, I leaned IN
four spades. This in view of NV
previous activity was a distinct over
bid, but risked such action because
1 felt 1t would be desirable to allav
any apprehensions Becker might
have about the complexion of the
trump suit. We promptly contracted
for slam.
The six Of diamonds was opened,
Three rounds Of trumps were drawn,
declarer winding up in his own hand,
Inc remaining diamond was ruffed
IN dummy. eliminating that suit. A
low club was then led to the king,
and on the return, Mr.. Becker re-
fused the flnesse, though normally
such play Is against percentages with
only eight of the suit. His reasoning
was neat. If East held three clubs
TO the queen, he was perfectly well
come to the trick, since when he won
that trick, he would have to return
heart, giving declarer the flnesse,
or diamond, which would permit a
discard of heart out of the South
hand. When the queen Of clubs fell,
Mr.. Becker could now afford the
luxury OF the heart finesse. When it
succeeded, he called me sharply to
task for not having bid with sufi-
cient aggressiveness.
When our adversaries held this
hand, they bid to seven spades. In
that case, the heart 1nesse became
obligatory. When 1t held, declarer
had then to guess the location of
the club queen. With all the tricks
required, there was no safe way to
play the hand, and when North mis-
guessed by finessing into West, the
contract was defeated a trick.
