Take Ny Word for 1t
By Frunk Colby
Cupful- Spoonful

Akron: My English teacher says
that "cupsful" Is wrong. She says
it ought to be "cupful." But who
ever heard OF such a word as "fuls"2
B. A. s.
Answer. This usage confuses
many people. Let us see Just what
1t is that cupful means. A cupful
is simply the amount Of anything
that a cup will hold.
For example, let us dip cup into
a spring and then pour the water
into a pitcher. The pitcher does not
now contain a cup full Of water, for
the cup is empty and Is not In the
pitcher. The pitcher contains q cup
full Of water-the amount Of water
that will fill cup.
Now let US dip the cup five times
more, pouring the water into the
pitcher. Obviously the pitcher
doesn't contain six cups full Of
water, for we had but one to begin
with. and 1t is still empty. No: the
pitcher now holds six cupfuls Of
water, and the six cupfuls equal
one pitcherful.
In other words cupful Is a word
like carload. One would never speak
of "six carlsbad of grain" but Of
six carloads of grain. Likewise, one
would speak Of six shiploads of food
for Europe, six trainloads Of coal,
etc.
In recipes, it Is correct to use such
plurals as cupfuls, spoonfuls, glass
fuls, etc.
These plural constructions also
are correct: Armfuls of flowers;
handfuls Of sand; pocketfuls Of
money: basketfuls Of clothes; ROOM
fuls of people; lungfuls Of air;
mouthfuls OF food.
A thirsty boy pours the cup full
Of water and drinks. He repeats
this act several times. Can we say
that he has drunk several cups full
Of water? No; one cannot drink q
cup, full or empty. Correctly speak
ing, the boy drinks several cupfuls
of water or several cups of water.
six cups full" is correct only
when there are actually six cups,
and each is full.
Do you hesitate over the use Of the
words shalI-wiIl or should Mr..
Colby's leaflet, ca, will explain the
proper usage clearly.

Goren on Bridge

The broad question, "Is 1t good
policy to make the opening lead of q
singleton?" is one which the tyro
never wearies Of asking. It Is very
much like inquiring, us quinine .
good drug2" It depends largely on
the nature Of the ailment. There
are certain specific conditions when
the lead Of singleton Is apt to
prove advantageous. The ideal case
includes three factors: % Quick
control Of the trump suit, such as
the ace or the king guarded several
times. This Is to prevent the de-
clarer from extracting trumps at
once and running OF with the hand.
(2) Some surplus little trumps that
would otherwise have no particular
value; 90 the reasonable expect
ancy Of entering partners hand to
obtain the desired ruff.
Where, however, the defender
holds at least four trumps. as .
general rule ruffs should not be
sought and an effort should be made
to force declarer's hand to trump
by leading the longest and most
solid suit.
Where the lead of a singleton Is
indicated 1t should usually be made
at the earliest opportunity. 1t Is
much easier for partner to diagnose
it as a singleton If it is led at once
than If it Is shifted to.
Failure to lead a singleton at the
earliest opportunity worked out in
strange manner In today's hand
and permitted declared to make Q
neat play to prevent ruff. West
opened the king of hearts and re-
ceived the encouraging nine from,
his partner. He promptly shifted to
the three Of diamonds. This was q
clearly marked singleton and 1t was
evident that West intended to OBJ
tain the lead with the ace Of trumps
and put partner in with a heart to
obtain the ruff for the setting trick.
Declarer, therefore, looked for q
way to prevent East from getting
the lead. The method was simph-
city itself. Neat but not gaudy. He
won the second trick with the jack
of diamonds and led the king Of
clubs. He was quite sure that West
held the ace. On the king of clubs
he discarded his remaining heart
and West was in, with no way of
communication with his partner.
Note that If the singleton had been
led at the opening there would
have been no way for South to
break communication between the
defenders hands. "A

SAM REPAYS WELLINGTON
A Guest Editorial

When Sam Ford ran for the office of governor, in
1940 wellington D. Rankin did to assure his cleo
ton than any five in the state; Rankin had many
friends in organized labor and in liberal and progress
sve circles and it due to the efforts of Rankins
friends that Ford received invitation to address
organized labor in Butte at the Columbia Gardens Labor
Day picnic this opportunity made votes for Ford
1t due to the efforts of Rankins friends that
later received the endorsement of the Silver Bow
Trades and Labor Assembly, organization represent
ing practically all the labor organizations in Butte
also through the efforts of Rankin's friends
that Ford received the endorsement of the Montana
Progressive Council at their meeting at Great Falls,
where Ford appeared personally requesting this
dorsement this endorsement a much desired
It, therefore, does not seem possible that Ford in
the late primary election could be directly opposed to
Rankin "the man who made him" but he and did
everything in his power defeat his faithful friend,
and his efforts successful-Rankin defeated

Copper Mining Company, of defective copper wire
fame" would it be 'ILL-FAME"?
Ford originally agreed that Rankin should for
senate after the death of President Roosevelt
Ford changed his mind and decided that he would like
to be a senator from Montana; figuring doubt that
Republican could be elected President and it would
be nice for him to be back in Washington with lot
of patronage at his disposal
He requested Rankin to step down and let him
for the job, but Rankin refused to step; Ford
then consulted his good friends the Anaconda Copper
Mining Companies political strategsts and after quite
huddle they informed Ford that he should not file
against Rankin but that he should help them in Undue
Davis of Butte to for the office of senator
Ford to run for governor.

I am amazed to discover the blind

the people.
What could the special session have
