flowers. II call them Ida May after
my little daughter who was born the
day these flowers bloom" DR.. Wood
was intrigued and asked for an
opportunity to see them closer. He
was delighted to discover they were
new to him, so he gathered some for
study purposes. Later he described
the firecracker plant and named 1t
in honor of J. Carson Brevoort a
patron of the sciences. Then DR..
Wood added the scientific name Ida
Maia.
The name Brevoortia is used for
several kinds of these flowers. but,
the firecracker plant goes by the
name of Ida Maia. All the kinds of
Brevoortia are extraordinary both in
form and color.

Take Ny Word for 1t
by Frank Colby
Some Matters of Usage.

A few matters of usage may profit
ably fill this space today. A reader
sends a clipping which tells Of a
girl who was wounded fatally with
scissors" The reader questions
the correctness of "a scissors" :"
Strictly speaking, scissors is a plural
noun like such similar words as
shears, clippers, pliers, trousers, bel
lows, eyeglasses, etc. Such articles
are considered as plural because they
consist of two identical things
hinged together. This is why one
always says: My trousers are torn;
my glasses are broken; my scissors
are dull, and so on.
Therefore, "a scissors is incorrect.
The item should read, e.. wounded
fatally with a pair of scissors" In
idiomatic usage we often use the
word some" as: I'm going to buy
some trousers: I think I need some
new glasses; she was stabbed with
some scissors. This is permissible
except, perhaps, in very formal
writing in which pair" is the better
word, as: A pair of trousers, a pair
of new glasses, a pair of scissors.
There is a superstition that the
word couple should not be used in
such constructions as "a couple of
dollars; a couple of friends of mine" !"
Indeed, one widely used textbook
thunders: Couple means two joined
together. Never use it otherwise"
Couple does mean two joined
together" as a married couple. But,
from the very beginning of modern
English, couple has also meant no
more than two or about two 1t
occurs in the Bible in I Sam. xviii.6:
81. Let lamar my sister come and
make me a couple of cakes and
Shakespeare wrote of "a couple OF
short-legged hens"
\
Merriam Webster's says that
such usage is "colloquial." think
that 'idiomatic would be a more
accurate designation. At any rate,
usage that has been present in
the language for more than three
centuries should by now have won
the full approval of the dictionaries.
Guests for" dinner? ITO" Is a
better word. We are so used to such
expressions as having chicken salad
for lunch, having roast for din
ner, ETC., that having guests for
dinner suggests cannibalism.
Are you guilty Of using Amt or
Aren't II" Mr.. Colby discusses these
common errors In his leaflet Go.

Opening lead: Nine Of spades. (.
While servile adherence to the
broad general principles laid down
by authorities will get the average
player by, with q reasonable degree
of success, sight must not be lost OF
the importance of viewing each case
in the light of its own special cir
cumstarices.
Authorities, for example, will adj
wise you against the indiscriminate
lead of an ace against slam con-
tract, as tending to simplify many
of declarer's problems. But YOU may
be in possession of some special in
formation about the hand in ques-
ton gathered from the bidding,
presumel which would make such
a lead not only desirable, but al
most obligatory.
The West of today's hand was a
player of some standing in the bridge
world, but proved to be the goat
on this deal. After the ambitious
contract had. been fulfilled, he
stoutly defended his choice of leads,
IN the post -mortem discussions. Only
after a group of his colleagues, an
imposing array of talent, voted
unanimously against him, was he
willing to abandon his position.
The bidding was quite involved,
and at some points open to serious
question. The opening bid OF one
spade is the accepted procedure on
hands of such mediocre honor
strength. where 1t is desired to show
both suits at as cheap as possible
level. The suits in such cases are
treated as though they were of the
same length and the higher ranking
one is, therefore. bid first. North's
bid of six diamonds is not recon-
mended. A sure profit by way OF
doubling five hearts would have been
sounder procedure.
| West was quite persuaded that
declarer was void of hearts and
therefore elected to lead the nine OF
spades through dummy's announced
stopper. He reasoned that dummy
might have something like ace
queen of spades and he hoped that
declarer had two of the suit, so that
trick could be established before
the ace of clubs was dislodged.
The reasoning was good as far as
it went, but, unfortunately, 1t did
not go far enough. The recon-
mended lead is one from which the
experts normally shy away, namely,
the ace of clubs. And I think the
reasoning is neat. North,s jump to
three no-trump would make it an
odds-on chance that he had three
clubs, a suit that at that time had
not yet been mentioned. South's bid
of five clubs makes it clear that he
had at least five of the suit. This
would leave only one club for East.
or possibly none. He should there
fore be able to ruff the second lead
of clubs. It's just simple arithmetic.

of human rights designed to guar
antee to all mankind freedom, equal

S. representative.
The charter, composed of thirty
special articles, declares all men
regardless of race, creed color,
sex or political belief. are entitled
to all of the rights and privileges
claimed by any other men on earth.

The charter on human rights has
only moral authority for its enforce
nent until the next regular session

At that time the charter will be
pressed as covenant which all ma
tons which are signatories. will be
pledged to enforce and support or
face United Uations penalties.
