T axe My Word for 1t
By Fronk Colby
SECRETARY's HANDBOOK.

G. AS the head of our stenograph-
ic department, I should like to have
an authoritative rule for writing
such phases as "a (weeks2 week's2
weeks'O vacation" Will you please
help us out?-D. M.
A. In English, the nouns in such
phrases are thought of as having the
power of possessing something;
therefore they are properly written
in the possessive form: weeks va
cation; q days journey: three
months salary; this months profit;
an hours delay; a hairs breadth:
for PHYS sake (not "for pity
sakes") years contract.
But note that words of time or
measure, when used to modify
nouns, are usually hyphenated,
thus: three-inch plank; a six-foot
rule: an eight-hour day; a five-day
week, a year-old child; one-mile
track; a six-day race; a split-second
decision; two-page letter.
@. Is there a rule for writing
words that end with self? IN M.
A. Yes. Words that end with
self" are not hyphenated; myself.
yourself, himself, herself. itself, one
self formerly and still. occasionally:
ones self, themselves, ourselves.
yourselves, etc.
When "self" begins word, 1t Is
usually followed by a hyphen: self
made. self-addressed, self-satisfed,
self possessed, self preservation,
self-educated, self-appointed, self
operating, etc. Exceptions: selfish,
selfsame.
@. In some books I have read I
have noticed such spellings as
"labour, odour. favour" and I find
the -our spellings listed as second
choice in Webster's New Interna-
tional. Why is this2-H. T. D.
A. The -our spelling of such words
is customary in British usage, but
in modern American usage the or
spelling prevails: labor, odor, favor,
etc.
There are three exceptions: %
The word glamour is spelled with
-our. But such derivatives as
glamorous omit the "u" before "r."
(2) The word Saviour, meaning
Jesus, is usually spelled with -our.
Otherwise, the word savior omits
the 'u." 81 In formal invitations
The word honor is spelled honour"
Otherwise "u" Is omitted.

8 no trump Pass Pass. Pass
Opening lead: Four of clubs.
That it is not good business to
deposit money in q bank that is
about to close, is generally ac-
cepted truth. I say generally ac-
cepted because there are some card
players who apparently do not SUBJ
scribe to that view. The West Of
today's hand was one such player.
The bidding was along orthodox
lines. 1t will be noted that o con-
tract of four hearts could have
been fulfilled against any defense,
but 1t was somewhat difficult to
reach. South had not sufficient
trump support to raise that suit at
once and North feared to bid again
lest his partner might expect more
from him. Furthermore, with his
balanced hand it appeared that it
would be better to play for nine
tricks rather than ten.
The four of clubs was opened
and East played the king. He was
permitted to hold the trick and
continued with the ten. This, too.
declarer ducked and it held. The
third round Of the suit was taken
by the ace and the hearts were
then run. With the club suit estab-
hshed against him declarer's one
hope was that the ace of spades
was with East. The ten of spades
was therefore led and since East
was unable to return his partners
suit declarer scored ten tricks.
West had committed a decided
error. At the second trick when
East returned the ten of clubs and
declarer followed with the nine, it
became quite evident that the club
suit could be established In another
lead. But what earthly good would
1t do to store up club tricks when
West knew that the doors to his
hand were permanently closed?
Nothing short of an act Of magic
would enable him ever to obtain
the lead to cash the club tricks.
Some other. suit must be found in
which to take tricks If the contract
were to be, defeated. Obviously the
only suit shat offered any kind Of
hope was diamonds. West should
therefore have overtaken the ten
of clubs with the jack for the pur-
pose of abandoning the suit. A
shift to the ten of diamonds would
have built up two tricks In that
suit for his partner while he still
retained the ace of spades for entry.
1t rarely pays to plug away at
hopeless suits when it is evident
that declarer will soon have enough
running tricks to fulfill contract.

Luncheon To Be
IFOrCOmmittee

Mrs. Clifton B. Gates, wife of the
commandant of the Marine Corps,
will entertain at buffet luncheon
tomorrow for members of the COM
mittee of the membership campaign
of the Woman's Army and Navy
League of which she is chairman.
Other members include Mrs. Oliver
Spaulding, Mrs. Albert G. Noble,
Mrs. Homer Case, Mrs. Truman
A. Landon and Mrs. Oliver P
Smith, who with their subcommit-
tees are working hard to interest
service wives in the Soldiers, Sailors
and Marines Club for enlisted men
at 1918 L street NV.
The club has been in existence
since 1899 and functions in peace
time as well as in war. Here man
finds clean, comfortable lodging and
carefully prepared meals at mini
mum prices amid attractive, home
like surroundings. For recreation
there are radios, Victrola and a
piano, and the monthly dances and
floor shows which are given have
proved most popular.
There is plenty of interesting work
for service wives, mothers and
daughters in the club Office and in
the canteen where members of the
JANGO act as mattresses.
1t is hoped that the many new
corners to the Nations Capital will
enroll in this patriotic and worth
while organization.

1t probably Is in the literary

English and literary criticism.
She gets it out of her system
now by writing and editing a
monthly four-page newspaper
which she sends out to air

throughout Maryland, Vir-

breezy publication but with
serious editorials about the
