Goren on Bridge

Opening lead, eight of spades.
It Is one of the great charms OF
bridge that acorns can occasionally
be found by the blind of the species.
All the science in the world is i'm
potent against the workings OF a
certain type of magic which the tyro
will sometimes WELD. The above
deal was played in q tournament
some time ago, and the West hand
was held by your humble servant,
who, be 1t known, does not approve
of such practice. North and South
were pair of charming ladies who
professed to be readers of mine. The
bidding indicated in the diagram
above, believe it or not, actually
took place.
Up to point, 1t was the model of
accuracy. The opening bid, the re-
sponse and the rebid to three clubs
were right out of the book. North's
bid of three diamonds was certainly
the best available. 1t provided part
ner with an opportunity to bid for
game at no-trump If he had spades
guarded. This seemed much more
desirable than trying for II tricks
with such an evenly balanced hand.
South's next call OF three hearts Is
choice Of the experts.
1t can hardly denote heart suit
which would have been shown long
since had it been held. 1t simply
throws the burden back on to North
to try no-trump if he has some sort
of questionable spade stopper. or
permits him to bid for game in a
minor if he thinks sufficient values
are held. North got into the swing Of
raising partner and went to four
hearts. South at this point got
rather tired of bidding and passed.
The eight of spades was opened
and two tricks cashed in the suit.
On the spade continuation, South
ruffed with the four. This was over
ruffed with the five, but there were
no more tricks for the defense. Note
that it would have done no good to
refuse to overruff. Declarer would
simply play three high trumps and
then run the high clubs, leaving the
defense with only one trump trick,
since East could never again win
the lead.
It will be noted, too, that a five
club contract would have been
doomed to failure, because on the
third round of spades, South would
be obliged to ruffe high and thus
establish a trump trick for West.
At the conclusion of the hand, the
lady from the South turned to me
with the comment, II tried to bid
the hand the way you do. I remem-
bered that you don't like any of the
conventions, but show your aces on
good hands. Did I bid 1t well2" I
was too depressed at the contempla-
ton of Of our score to think UP any
witticisms of my own, so borrowed
one from Sydney Lenz. Angels
could have done no more"

My Word for 1t
By Fronk Colby
Readers Want to Know.


Wantagh: Which is the correct
form, "can not" or "cannot"?-
r. o.
Answer: Both are correct. The
compound form cannot" Is pre-
ferred by the United States Govern
ment Printing Office style manual.
Marquette: Can you give me an
other short word to describe the
pathological condition described as
a "cold"?-L. A. S.
Answer: Sorry, no. The best that
Dorland's Medical Dictionary can
do is "A catarrhal or other disorder
of respiratory tract" However, there
is a short word meaning "a cold In
the head"-it's coryza, pronounced
kah-RY-Zuh.
Omaha: Please discuss the sound
of sc" in the first syllable of such
words as economy, economical,
economics.-F. c.
Answer: The long "e" is the first
choice Of the dictionaries. Economics,
for example, is preferred as EE-
uh-NOM-iks. The second choice,
not so frequently heard, is EK-uh-
Monks.
@. Please set our senior English
class right on the pronunciation of
the word relaxation. Is the first
syllable "ree" or "rell"?-D. S.
Answer: The Standard American
pronunciation: is REE-lak-SAY-
shun. Some dictionaries show as
second choice "RELL-ak-SAY-
shun," but it is quite obsolete.
Buffalo: Please explain the sig
nificance of the expression, "Donny-
brook. IT. E.
Answer: It's short for "Donny-
brook Fari," an annual fair once
held at Donnybrook, Ireland. It was
notorious for drunkenness and fight
ing. Hence, Donnybrook Fair now
means an orgy, any riotous affair,
a free-for-all fight.
Oakdale: How is the word sug-
gest pronounced?-M. T.
Answer: The prevailing Ameri-
can pronunciation is: "sug-JEST.
The pronunciation "suh-JEST" is
heard, but it is approaching OBJ
solescence.
A. D. B. of Los Angeles sends a
prime example of the Pied Typer's

"Fifty-foot wives pounded the coast

was right about the female Of the

SELECTED RAILS
PACE BOND MART
Session Closes With Liber-
al Sprinkling OF Plus
Signs

NEW YORK, Oct. 15-F1-The
bond market ended with a lib
eral s%prinkling of plus signs OF
fractions to more than a point
today, principally because of a
pickup in demand for selected
rails in the final hour. High
priced corporates and govern
ments were again on the offer
ing side, World Bank bonds
dropping to new lows.
In the forenoon the market
moved up selectively, faltered
during the third hour and then
exhibited firmer tendencies up
to the close. Where gains &C.
Cured, final levels were about
the best Of the session. Few
losses exceeded a point.
The Associated Press average
of 10 low-yield bonds dropped
q humping 4 of a point to 110.8
a new low for the year. 1t was
the largest change in the index
arr continued the trend es-
pecially in evidence for the past
few weeks.
A combination of circum-
stances has been associated with
this downward move of quality
bonds, including fears of invest
ors that a new dose of initiation
was bound up with the aid-to-
Europe program of the govern
ment, thereby making it mad
visable to hold low fixed income
obligations that would be paid
off at maturity in dollars whose
purchasing power might be
lower at that time than at pres
sent.
First Mortgage Bonds
For the first time in several
years a first mortgage bond
made its appearance at a COM
petitive bidding sale with an in
terest coupon better than 4 per
cent. South Jersey Gas Co. sold
81, 0C0, 900 of 4 IL per cent bonds
of a bid of 100. 1899 and reoffer-
ing was planned at 102-17, repre-
senting an ultimate yield of 4
per cent. 1t has been a long
time since any kind of a bond
at all returned a yield this high
on the original purchase.

servatives under a bewildering
succession of military leaders.
At last, Juarez was triumphant.
He proceeded to put into full
effect the reform measures that
had already been passed.
The state of the country was
so bad that Mexico had to post
pone paying her foreign debts.
Three of the creditor nations,
Spain, England and France,
sent armed forces to Mexico to
protect their rights. England
and Spain soon withdrew their
troops, after they realized that
Mexico meant to honor her
debts as soon as possible.
Napoleon III of France, how
ever hoping to win for France
a position of great influence in
the New World, did not with
draw his forces. He managed to
establish European prince, the
Archduke Macmillan of Aus
tria, as Emperor of Mexico,
with the promise of support
from France april, 1864.
Macmillan now set up a gay
court in a beautiful palace on
the famous hill of Chapultepec,
near Mexico City. Juarez with
drew to the north of Mexico
and bided his time. His patience
had its reward.
The United States had been
occupied with the Civil War
while Napoleon had been carry
ing out his ambitious schemes.
AS soon as that conflict was
ended, however, the United
States fastened to remind
France that the countries of Eu-
rope had no right to interfere
with the nations of the Ameri-
can continent. Napoleon, fear
ing to risk a war with the Unit
ed States, decided to withdraw
his troops.
Maximilian's young and
charming wife, the Empress
Carlotta, rushed to Europe to
plead with Napoleon and
the Pope in order to win for
Macmillan the military support
which he needed if he were to
retain his throne. Carlotta could.
accomplish nothing. The strain
and sorrow drove her out of
her mind and she never recover
ed, though she lived to be very
old. Macmillan, though he knew
his cause was hopeless, refused
to give up the throne or to
leave the country. He was taken
prisoner and shot (June, 1859.
In July, 1867, Juarez and his
ministers entered Mexico City
and set up the republic anew.
Juarez remained at the helm of
the state until his death in July,
1872. This great statesman is
still revered by the majority
of MeXicans.
