Word for 1t
By Fronk Colby
Pet Speech Peeye.

The Rev. G. w. Crutchfield, Pine
bluff, N. c., will receive an auto
graphed handbook for giving us his
pet speech peeve:
IT come across an unfamiliar word.
thumb through the dictionary.
and what do I find? Two or three
words that are bigger and more un-
familiar than the one I am trying
to run down for meaning. Result. I
am confused, frustrated, in greater
darkness than before. and a little
sore (even for q clergyman. SO I
start out on an irritating word hunt,
thumbing and turning, chasing
words, straining my eyes over
microscopic print, ambiguous foot
notes, and mystic reference SYM
bols. At last, after wasting much
time and exhausting my patience, I
find something that hints at the
meaning Of the original word. Why
must 1t be that way?"
Mr.. Crutchfield's plant has been
voiced by many people. The Sat-
urday Evening Post, not long ago,
made dictionary obscurities the sub
ject of strong editorial which
ended with the melancholy cry. "Is
there photographer IN the house?"
Here's q good example Of the
dictionary's daffy definitions. Turn
to page 123 OF THE Supreme Au-
thority." Look up the adjective
aphetic, which Is defined as Per
tanning to, or resulting from aphs-
sis, or by extension, from aphere-
SIS" Very comforting information,
that. But the word apheresis isn't
listed, although alphabetically 1t
should come right before aphesis!
But, wait q minute-there are q
number Of words listed in small
type at the bottom Of the page, and
among them Is apheresis defined
thus: Var. of aphaeresis.
Now, II you do not know what
Var" stands for you might as well
call the whole thing off, which
you do.
All you wanted was the meaning
of aphetic. You have learned that
aphetic pertains to aphesis that
aphesis is a form of apheresis, and
that apheresis Is Var. OF aphaere-
sis"
But don't feel bad about 1t. Many
a person has lived a good and use
full life without knowing what
aphetic means. But If you insist
on knowing, drop me line, and Ill
explain the word for you in plain
American.

The bidding:
spade Pass 2clubs 2hearts
2 spades Pass 4spades Pass
Pass Pass
Opening lead: Ten of hearts.
The slogan Always lead through
strength and up to weakness" is one
of a number of rules OF thumb thas
were prescribed for us in our peram-
buIator days. While 1t served as
fairly good practical guide in that
era, at our present stage OF enlight-
enment it Is frequently honored in
the breach rather than in the OBJ
seryance. All those ancient mottoS
could be accepted today If We added
the phrase Provided conditions are
proper for it."
The contract Of four spades was
reached by conventional channels.
The only questionable bid was East's
overcall of two hearts, which can
be justified only when one takes
into consideration the conditions OF
vulnerability and the added factor
that the lead Of that suit was ur-
gently desired.
West led the 10 Of hearts, the
king came up from dummy and East
cashed two tricks in that suit. OBJ
serving the weakness In dummy,
East continued with the jack OF dla-
monds. The queen went to the ace
and West returned the suit, driving
out the king. Since declarers only
chance was the establishment OF the
club suit, the ace and king were
cashed and the third round rufted.
Luck was with declarer when the
suit broke. The ace, king ana an
other trump put dummy in to cash
the two good clubs upon which the
two red losers were parked, IN ful-
fillment of the contract.
East felt he had done his duty,
but in fact he had lost an opportu-
nifty for a neat defensive play. More
important than leading through
strength, is the general propositioa
that dummy's entries should %
driven out when it contains long
suit that may become established.
The only entry for the clubs Is the
third trump (the queen). II dummy
Is forced to trump a heart early
the queen of spades will not be an
entry if West has as many as three
small trumps. The winning play at
trick three is the jack OF hearts
This must be ruffed in the North
hand and the club suit cannot be
brought in.
How does East know that declar-
er has another heart? Very simply.
If South had only two hearts west
would originally have had four, IN
which case his proper opening would
not have been the highest OF his
partners suit, but the fourth best.

Germans Express DismoX
Call Plan Incredible

FRANKFURT, Oct. 2 lR.-Ger-
mans expressed dismay today at
the news that Britain and the
United States. hope the Anglo
American zones of Germany will
give up 1000, 900 tons of scrap steel
next year.
This agreement sounds incredi-
ble," said a spokesman for the Ger
man Metal Corp. in Frankfurt. "I
don't know where these 100000
tons are supposed to be available in
the Anglo-American zones. Re-
moval of a large amount of iron
scrap from our area would force us
to import expensive ore from other
countries. To pay for these imports
we have to use dollars, which are
rare articles"
At Dusseldorf, Dr. K. Adolf,
chairman of the German Scrap AS
sociation, said that large scrap ex-
ports would diminish Germany's
contribution to the European Re-
covery Program.

Scrap From Germany
To Boost Steel Output
In j. ). and Britain
By the Associotsd Press

A boost in American and British
steel production was in the works
today, with industries in each of the
two nations slated to get 100000
tons of war-wrecked metal from
Western Germany.
Under an agreement announced
jointly by the two governments yes
terday, 225,000. tons of the scrap
steel also will be set aside for West
ern European countries.
The joint statement expressed
hope that German scrap shipments
will total 2,0OO, 900 tons during the
next year. The metal is used to
make new steel products.
The United States and Britain
proposed setting up committee Of
delegates from the Is Marshall Plan
nations and America to allocate fu-
ture shipments of the metal from
the former enemy country and the
European nations cooperating in
the Marshal Plan.
A severe steel shortage exists in
most of Europe. In the United
States, steel mills have been using
about 30,000,000 tons of scrap year
without filling the demand for steel
products.
In making the announcement. the
State Department emphasized, how
ever, that these shipments from
Germany would not jeopardize plans
to increase steel output in the stra-
tegic Ruhr industrial area because: ::
All scrap shipped from Germany
will be in excess Of the legitimate
requirements of the bizone steel
industry"
