Take Ny Word for 1t
Rv Ernnk Colhv
What's the ORIGIN?

Today's words begin with the let
ter "p."
Pal is a good word to start with.
1t Is used freely in England and
America as both noun and verb:
Hes a pal Of mine; we pal around
together" pal is the Anglicized
form of the Gypsy tRomany) word
pral, brother; mate" In other
words, Gypsies in England use tho
form pal" while on the European
continent the form "pral" prevails.
The word pecan is from an Ameri-
can Indian word variously spelled
paccan, pukan, pakan, ANY hard
shell nut" The standard American
pronunciation is: puh-KAHN, which
has always prevailed in the South.
where the pecan trees grow. In
the North and East, the pronuncia-
ton pi-KAN Is frequently heard,
though not as often as formerly.
Pravda is the name of the off,
cial news and propaganda organ OF
the Soviet Party. Ironically (to us.
at least pravda Is the Russian word
for truth" It is pronounced:
PRAHV- -dah.
The word profane has the sur
prising literal meaning of Outside
the temple" from the Latin pro.
before, outside Of" plus fanum.
temple" Originally the word des-
ignated that which was secular-not
devoted to or concerned with re-
ligion; it was simply the opposite
of sacred"
Today, penknife is any small
pocket knife whose blades fold into
the handle. Why the 'pen?" Be-
cause originally penknives were used
for fashioning pens from quills and
for mending or reshaping quill pens.
A precipice is certainly well
named, for it means literally head
first" from the Latin prae, before"
caput, 'the head; hence to fall
headfirst from the top of steep
cliff.
There is no pie" in plaster. Not
"PIE-lass-ter." The word is from
the Latin pila, pillar" Plaster is
pronounced: pi-LASSter, the Il"
short as in pill"

Vaccination Refused

Smartly uniformed nurses making

SPC1Al11S ACdSA, hAlS VA S4ubos
When there are several choices
open to q declarer as to the method
of playing a hand, the selection Of
the best method frequently involves
the use of very good Judgment. OBJ
viously, the safest plan is the best.
And the one that will succeed de-
spite an unfortunate break of the
cards must be the correct one.
The bidding Of today's hand was
very accurate. South, holding more
than the equal of an opening bid,
realizes that there is probably slam
in the hand when partner opens the
bid and then jumps. The only OBJ
stacle is the fact that partners jump
has been in suit in which he holds
but a singleton, which suggests a
partial misflt. When spades are
supported by North, that objection
becomes slighter and South properly
shows the ace Of hearts. North's
hand now takes on greater luster
and the possibility of a grand slam
is not too remote. He, therefore,
shows the ace of clubs. At this
point, 1t should be noted that the
showing of an ace at the level of six
must always be construed as grand
slam try, since If it were otherwise,
it would be pointless to show the
ace, when slam Is being bid any
way. Note that If South had held
the queen Of diamonds, a grand slam
would have been moral certainty.
In the play, South was called upon
to exercise great caution. Had he
worked on the expectancy that
either the trumps or the diamonds
would break. he would have been
doomed to failure. If he had pulled
the trump and then trusted to es-
tablishing diamonds with one ruff.
the AZ break in that suit would
have prevented its establishment.
Or, if he had ruffed two diamonds
in order to establish that suit, he
would have been defeated by Vests
winding up with one more trump
than declarer.
Instead, he went about on the
theory that both suits would break
40. which, incidentally, is normal.
After winning the first trick, he
played the ace and king Of diamonds
and then a small one. But he did
not make the mistake of ruffing it.
Instead, he discarded low club,
permitting East to hold the trick.
There was now nothing the defense
could do. Dummy could be entered
with the queen of spades and an
other diamond ruffed high to es-
tablish the suit. while the king Of
hearts still remained in dummy for
entry. In this way, declarer took
five spade tricks in his own hand,
four diamond tricks in dummy,
which, with the two hearts and one
club, reached the total of H.

 ALL LOCAL USE
Bureau of Mines Makes Report on Investigation
 How 10 Get If

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-IR- Sufficient coal to meet the needs of Eskimo villages and government schools and hospitals along the Arctic Coast of Alaska can be pro duced there, the Bureau of Mines said today.
 Engineers examined the coal de- posits in Arctic Alaska the summer of 1946 and found several suit able for development. They in- vestigated the Deering, Fairhaven, Point Lay and Wainwright areas.
 The Bureau said the engineers found two plans feasible for work ing the coal deposits. To de- velop sources of coal at points nearest each village or group of villages, or stockpile coal in the winter for barge movement to the villages in the summer.
 The plans, it continued, would result in cheaper coal than when it is shipped from the United States
 It said the mining should be done in the winter, owing to eli matic conoitions, and the mines sealed in the summer to prevent thawing and subsequent roof falls.
