Take Ny Word for 1t
By Fronk Colby
What. No AmericaY


In the July 10 issue of Golfers,
Il. A. Clark of Detroit, in letter
TO the editors, states: The United
States is definitely not America.
The United States of America is
probably the only nation in the
world without q name for its in
habitants. Cannot you suggest a
name for us u. .ers?' Get it right,
the United States is not America"
1t is amazing how many Amer
leans share Reader Clark's mis-
belief. To deny that the United
States is America and that its
citizens are Americans Is to fly In
the face of centuries-old tradition.
custom and usage. The terms
America and American are recog-
nized all over the world All good
dictionaries known to me give full
sanction to the terms.
Use of America and American as
applying to other countries of the
Western Hemisphere is a very loose
reference that is fast becoming out
of-date. There are two good rea-
sons for this: Cd Ours is the only
country in the world that has the
word America in its official name
| CD North America, Central Amer
lea and South America are not
countries they are simply geo.
graphical regions.
The only way the term American
may properly be used by other ma
tions is in the abstract way in which
the term European is used In short,
with us, American is a name of
nationality; with them 1t Is term
of geographical location, nothing
more.
I'm sorry to contradict Reader
Clark OF Detroit: but the United
States very definitely IS America;
and we were Americans even before
there was a United States
Usage is the only authority for
determining such matters. The
usage is recorded not only In our
written history, but also In any
accepted dictionary, say, The Amer
ican College Dictionary (Rsndom
House,: America: The United
States OF America. American: OF
or pertaining to the United States
Of America; a citizen of the United
States"
AS to "a name for us U. s.ers,"
what better testimony do we need
than such traditional usages as:
The American Revolutionary War;
the American Civil War; the Span
ish-American War; the American
Expeditionary Force; the American
Legion of Colonial Danes; the
Daughters Of the American Revo-
luton; the American Legion; ths
American Federation of Labor; tbs
American Res Cross. -.
America America!
God shed his grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brother-
From sea to shining sea!
II you know why you should use lay
instead OF lie. or set instead Of sit, you
won't use the wrong word. Mr.. Colby's

Opening lead, nine of clubs.
The ease with which partners may
exchange complete and precise in
formation about their respective
holdings, in employing the common
sense, direct method Of slam bid
ding, was never better illustrated
than In today's hand, culled from q
recent tournament.
South's opening bid Of two hearts
calls for no comment. The response
Of three hearts by North was tenn
porary measure intended merely to
fix that suit as trump. With the
holding of better than two tricks
there was no suit as trump With
the holding of better than two
tricks there was no question in
North's mind that small slam was
there, but the immediate raise was
given in order definitely to estab-
lish the trump and to set the stage
for the exchange of specific in
formation as to aces and kings.
South'S bid of three spades indi-
Gates possession of the ace in the
spade suit. Since hearts had been
agreed upon no other suit should
be sought as trump. South elects
to show the ace of spades first be-
cause it permits partner to show
the club ace if he happens to have
it at the lowest possible range.
Note that if South showed the dia-
mond ace first North would be re-
quired to show the ace of clubs at
the level of 5. After South showed
the ace of spades North showed the
ace of clubs and South proceeded
with this happy pattern by showing
the ace of diamonds at the level of
4. North's bid of diamonds def
initely indicates the king, since 1t
must be understood that after the
suit agreement all bids are feature
showing bids, indicating aces and
kings specifically. With the show
ing of the king of diamonds South
is in position to count II top card
tricks.
Since honors are not counted In
match point duplicate, the final
slam bid is made in no-trump in
order to score the 10 additional
points South earned a complete
top score for his team by proceeding
to take all 13 tricks Believing the
opening lead of the nine of clubs to
be an honest top of nothing, he
went up with the ace, cashed his
two spades and all the hearts, keep
ing at the end his two diamonds
and the queen of clubs. In order
to hold the king of clubs East had to
come down to only two diamonds
and dummy's diamonds all became
good.

Less Noisy Weddings Asked

KANSAS CITY Lp).-The Kansas
City police department is issuing
notes Of congratulations to alter
bound couples. But there's a catch.
After reading the Fluctuations, the
couple note that the police depart
ment does not feel that a procession
of honking automobiles is legiti-
mate part of the wedding ceremony.
The note warns that continual
honking is violation of the city's
antinoise ordinances.

ing to Helmut Teichner, new

he can learn a lot from the

a question of supplying the
right fashions at the right
prices.
; "Women like to follow the
latest styles, naturally - but
I don't think they want new
fashions forced upon them by
designers" he explained. To
find out what styles they real
ly like, he has invited ten high
school leaders to shed the role
of students every other Satur-
day morning and become
teachers at fashion board
meetings in the store.
The girls get together for
breakfast and exchange ideas
with each other and Teichner
on what's news in junior fash
ions. which designers labels
they'd like to see in stock.......
which fashions are mere fads
and which will be important....
what colors, fabrics, and &C
cessories they want for spring.
Teichner listens with interest
and follows through to see that
the store carries these styles.

plicant is qualified, by virtue OF
grade held at time of discharge, to

cepted for duty in the continental
Limits of the United States. WACs
are sent to Camp Lee, Va, for train
