WHAT IS THE ORIGIN?
(Scrapbook Item)

OCAdppOOh 1USul)
Martin, Ohio: Is there any con.
nection between urban" and "ur.
bane?"-F. G.
Answer: Yes. Let us start with
the Latin word urbs, which meant
originally "a city 1nclosed by walls
or palisades" From urbs came ur-
banus, "of or pertaining to a city,:
hence. refined, polished, cultured.
urbanus entered English as "ur.
oan," meaning pertaining to or
characteristic Of a city" This is
the source Of the word "urbane,"
meaning polished, Suave, citifed,"
pronounced: ur-BAIN. The noun
"urbanity," meaning "politeness,
suavity," is pronounced ur-BAN-i-
tee.
Now let us return to the word
urban, from our original stem urbs.
Combined with the prefix sub.
under, inferior, subordinate to-" we
find urban in the word suburban,
the suburbs" (sub-plus urbs.)
The prefix inter- means between"
Therefore, an electric railway sys-
tenn operating between two or more
cities is called an interurban.
Now let us use the suff1x lite, "a
native of or dweller in," and form
two more words with urban: The
first Is urbanite, ''one who lives in a
city; the second Is suburbanite,
"one who lives in the suburbs"
There is another suffix which we
can use: list, zone who is skilled in"
Combined with urban it gives us the
word urbanist, "a specialist in city
planning"
A similar word stem Is the Greek
polls, "in city" We find it in such
words as metropolis metro means
"mother,") acropolis (from akros.
"highest,D police, policy, politics,
and cosmopolis Grom cosmo-,
"world'D.

|Goren on Bridge
East-west Vulnerable. so,


If some one could devise sure
fire method for locating an adverse
queen when 1t can be flnessed in
either direction he would endear
himself for generations in the hearts
of bridge players. To be sure, there
is certain amount of luck involved
in these guesses, but If one finds
that he Is misguessing an unduly
large number of cases, there is very
likely flaw In his playing tech.
nique. 1t win be seen, therefore,
that we are not among those who
i1arbor belief that some players
simply are jinxed in their illnesses.
South became declarer at the very
sound contract of five diamonds.
The only bid calling for comment is
North's leap to game, which has the
Endorsement Of this department.
With the splendid fit there should
be a play for game even opposite
the most meager of openings, and II
partner happens to have two five
card minor suits, with a singleton
spade. a slam should be within
reach.
Three rounds OF spades were led
and dummy ruffed the third lead
high enough to shut out East.
Trumps were then drawn, and since
everything depended on locating the
queen of clubs, South went right
out to guess it without further ado.
He was one Of those players who
always plays the queen to be over
the jack. He consequently played
the ace first, intending to flnesse
the 10 in dummy. The second lead
OF that suit brought a rude awak-
ening.
South should have set out 10
learn more about the hand before
committing himself to the club
finesse. After drawing two trumps
he knew eight Of Vests cards. six
spades and two diamonds. BY simply
cashing the two high hearts and
ruff1ng out the remaining two, he
would have learned that West also
had four hearts. A simple arith-
metical process would have led to
the conclusion that he held only one
club and the rest would have been
comparatively simple. BY simply
cashing the king of clubs he would
have found out what Vests club
looked like.
