Take Ny Word for 1t
By Frank Colby
What's the Origin?

Cheesecake. A week or SO ago
appealed to newspaper photogra-
pliers to find for me the origin oi
the term "cheesecake" In referring
to what is called "leg photography
The answer has been found in
a recent issue of Editor and Pub
Usher, the newspaperman's weekly
magazine. E. and p. states that
New York photographers and the
Press Photographers Association of
New York give credit to Photogra-
pher Bill Heartfelt as the originator
Of the term.
One day In 1912. Heartfelt was
swapping pictures of bathing beau
ties out on Long Island. He
turned to photographer friend and
remarked, "Cheesecake!" But" )"
states Heartfelt, ''it will always re-
main a mystery why I uttered that
word"
During the 1920's, news photoera-
pliers, covering the arrival OF liners
from Europe, were urged by their
editors to get more "leg art" in
their pictures of home coming beau
ties of the stage and screen.
These photographers adopted
Hearfleld's "cheesecake" in desig-
mating photographs of pretty wom-
en- perched on ships rail and re-
vealing generously their silk-clad
legs.
But nowadays, the term Cheese
cake" is generally synonymous for
near-nudity in news photographs
magazine and other advertising
theatrical and movie publicity, and
so on; although the old-timers still
insist that 1t means 'leg art" and
nothing more.
Well, that's the American Ian
guage for you.
Cincinnati: Please give us a
breakdown on the expression -four
fiusher."-A. X.
Answer: in the game Of poker,
a flush is q hand consisting Of five
cards of the same suit. A four
flush (also called "bobtail blush')
is hand containing four cards of
one suit and one of another. 1t is
worthless. However, player hold
ing a four flush win often attempt
to win the pot by bluff1ng, i.e., pre-
tending to have hve-card flush
This is called -four flushing A
fourf1usher, then Is one who puts
up a bluff as to wealth, ability, etc.
To use another slang term. he is
a phony.

While do not subscribe to the doc
trine that If you watch the pennies

selves, nevertheless firmly believe
that many high-card tricks have
lost their effectiveness because Of
the slipshod manner in which their
owner has managed some of the
cards Of lesser rank II you watch

Of themselves, but they will have
an easier road to travel.
Mismanagement of intermediate
cards early in the play cost dee
clarer In today's hand game con-
tract. The bidding calls for COM
ment or two. North, holding Is
points, had . mandatory bid and
opened with one diamond. South
responded with two clubs. Some
players follow the practice of max
ing an automatic one-over-one re-
sponse whenever able to do SO, in
major suit, practice which does
not meet with the approval of this
| department. With a hand that is
very close to the value of an OPP
ening bid. South is justified in show
ing both suits in logical order. North
found the rebid awkward. Having
minimum hand and no spade STOP
per. he could give no thought to q
two-no-trump call, so fancying that
one of his hearts was q little dia-
mond he rebid that suit to denote a
minimum hand. My preference with
the South hand would have been for
two-spade, but he elected to try
no-trump instead.
The five Of spades was opened,
the six was casually played from
dummy and the hand was lost there
and then. East played the seven
and South the ten. Declarer crossed
to dummy with a diamond to put
the jack of clubs through This
went to Vests queen and the king
Of spades came forth. This estab-
lished the spades while the ace Of
clubs was still adversely held, and
declarer was down one.
Proper play would have yielded
declarer three spade Shoppers in
stead of only two. The play of the
nine at trick one would have pro-
duced that result. Under the rule
of IL East has only one spade to
beat the five Oil minus equals 6.
Dummy and declarer have five, leav-
ing East with one). That one might
be the seven, the eight, or an honor.
If 1t is an honor, the play Of the
nine will still afford declarer three
shoppers, but If 1t is the seven or
eight declarer will be held to only
two shoppers If he plays low to the
first trick.

 We can stop the Russians, but to do so we need a policy of firm ness beyond anything we have shown thus far. We must be able to say flatly and solemnly, "Thus far-and no farther!" And we must have the power to back it up. Only then will Stalin stop.

To most people, the $39, ,669,O ,OOO,- 900 total of President Truman's budget proposal for the l949 fiscal year is only an astronomical fig ure. Senator Bridges, chairman of the joint budget committee of Con- gress, has prepared a table show ing how much federal government would cost each state, under the Truman budget, on the basis of l947 federal income tax collec- tions, and comparing this with the cost of state government. In Colo rado, for example, the cost of state government is shown to be S61,- 000,000 while Colorado's share of federal government cost would be $270,O00,OOO.
 Appropriating more hundreds of millions of dollars for Chinese aid would be like pouring sand down a rat hole. Ordinary common sense requires that American resources for foreign rehabilitation and re- lief be concentrated on the Euro pean recovery program. There is a chance that something can be ac- complished there. But pouring more American dollars into China now would be wanton waste.
 There is one glaring inconsist- ency in all the agitation from the White House and in Congress for national legislation to outlaw state poll taxes. In a few states in the south, payment of a poll tax is a prerequisite to voting. The effect of this, it is contended is to bar many Negroes from the polls. So state poll taxes are under fire as examples of racial discrimination. If the President and Congressional supporters of anti4poll tax legis- lation are concerned about pro- tecting civil rights of Negroes in the south, rather than getting Ne groe votes in other parts of the country, why don't they do some thing about protecting civil rights of all American citizens, both black and white, in the nations capital?
 The ballot is one of the most precious civil rights of free people everywhere. Negroes are allowed to vote in the south. But in Wash ington, D. C., neither White nor Negro citizens can vote. Washing

A Short Story

A Short Story
LIEUTENANT TRANT of the New York Homi-
IL eide Bureau was dawdling over breakfast
in his pleasant apartment He buttered
piece of brioche and glanced at the three let
tiers which had come in the mail.
They didn't look interesting. One was from
his mother in Newport. He opened it and
read Mrs. Trant's usual garrulous account of
her social life with its usual undercurrent of
panied surprise that her son should choose to
be New York policeman pursuing murderers
when he might be escorting the toniest dowa-
gers through the best drawing rooms of the
Eastern seabOard
The second letter came from Princeton
classmate who was starting cultured maga-
zine and thought Trant might like to sacrifice
five hundred dollars on the altar of Art.
The third was even less promising The long
envelope bore his name and address in type
and, on its left hand top corner, the printed
words: Big Pal Trant knew the organiza-
ton 1t was worthy one which found spon-
sors for delinquent boys on parole. Lieuten-
ant Trant, who preferred his criminals delin-
uuent rather than rehabilitated, had no great
desire to become Big Pal He slit the enve-
lope anticipating the printed plea beginning:
Dear Friend
But the envelope did not contain the usual
form letter. Inside was a folded sheet of
elegant blue stationery Lieutenant Trant
blinked. He unfolded the sheet and looked at
what was written on it. He blinked again.
Beneath an embossed Park Avenue address
had been written in a round feminine hand:
Dear George:
Since you insist, come at five tomorrow.
But this is to warn you. shall have Eddie
there. have also bought gun If you try
what you tried last time, will use it.
"MARNA"
LIEUTENANT TRANT, whose passion for the
unorthodox was unbridled, smiled happily.
Off hand he could think of nothing less ortho-
dox than the arrival of so personal and inter-
esting communication in the envelope of an
impersonal and unexciting charitable organi-
zation.
He realized that mistake must have been
made with envelopes Appeals are usually
sent out by volunteer ladies who have been
given a sucker list and envelopes and who
salve their social consciences by typlng
addresses and providing stamps. This par
ticular volunteer lady this unknown Marna
must have been very absent-minded or
very jttery.
Judging by the nature of the letter she had
mailed in the wrong envelope, she had been
very jittery.
Trant looked at the date 1t had been writ
ten the day before Five tomorrow there
fore meant five o'clock that afternoon. He let
his thoughts toy pleasingly with picture of
the jittery Marna with her gun and Eddie

waiting at five for the mysterious George who
might try again what he had tried" last
time
1t was, of course, his duty as an officer of
the law to investigate what might prove to
be very antisocial encounter.
He put the envelope and the letter in his
pocket.
He was humming as he left his apartment.
A few minutes before five Lieutenant
Trant, in an elegantly inconspicuous gray
suit, arrived at the house whose address
appeared at the head of Marna's letter.
Although the house had a Park Avenue num-
Der, its door was on side street. 1t was an old
private residence which had been converted
into apartments.
SINCE he did not know Marna's name, he
stepped into the small outside hall and stud
led the names above the door buzzers. There
was no Marna anything. Most of the names
were discouraging. But above the buzzer OF
the penthouse apartment were two printed
cards. One said: Miss Joan Hyde. The other
said: Mrs. George Hyde.
Marna could be Mrs George Hyde. That
would make her the wife of the potentially
sinister George. Miss Joan Hyde might be
her daughter Lieutenant Trant was disap-
pointed. Romantic about mystery and the
possibly mysterious, he had imagined Marna
blonde, beautiful - and young.
He was about to press the Hyde buzzer
when girl came in from the street behind
him and. fumbling through her pocketbook
brought out key and opened the door. She
glanced at him questioningly and kept the
door half Open He smiled and followed her
into the house.
The girl had started through the neat mir
rored hallway toward self-service elevator,
but she stopped and turned back to him
little suspiciously.
Are you looking for someone?"
She was young and pretty with shining
dark hair, cool eyes and sort of lazy self
assurance which went with the silver fox coat
she was wearing.
How NICE thought Lieutenant Trant, if
Marna had looked like that.
He said: LAS matter of fact, I'm looking
for Marna Hyde"
oh She smiled. How interesting"
rs it,"
ITO me it is" She moved to the elevator.
''I'll take you up"
LIEUTENANT TRANT got into the elevator,
too. The girls perfume was pleasant. As she
made the elevator ascend, she glanced at him
sidewise.
Don't say Marna's got herself new

DO look like beau?"
