consonants in a row: strengths is
such a word.

people pronounce height as "hydth"?
Mrs. J. H.
. A. Because of association with the
companion words length, width,
breadth. Correctly pronounced,
height should rhyme With mite, rite.

the word niggardly? Does it have
anything to do with things Negroid?
"A. S.

Goren on Bridoe

Yesterday this department onered
q plan dealing with the manner Of
handling adverse overcalls Of two
clubs or two diamonds when partner
mas opened the bidding. Where it
appears that some action Is called
for, although the nature Of that &C
ton is not quite clear, our suggestion
was that a double on suspicion is
very likely to prove the winning call.
As a corollary of this proposition
we offer the following, which we are
inclined to advocate with even
greater emphasis. When partner
opens the bidding and your right
hand opponent overcalls with two OF
suit, If you find yourself seized
with the urge to bid two no-trump
my advice is to count slowly to 10
before speaking. then change your
mind in favor Of strafing the enemy.
You will find that doubling in these
situations will, on balance, be far
more profitable than trying for game.
Today's hand illustrates the prop
osition. North opened the bidding
with heart and East overcalled
with two diamonds, an action for
which we would not undertake to
criticize him. Some of the players
who held the South hand chose to
bid two no-trump, with the result
that North became declarer at a
contract of four hearts, which he
was unable to fulfill. When South
elected to double the two-diamond
bid it was defeated three tricks for
sting of 500 points, more than
could have been scored even had
North and South been able to make
game
In view of the misfit, South might
have realized that the probability Of
game was not very great. The dou-
BILE posed a problem for North. Hold
ing six-card major suit and
void in the suit partner had duobled,
it was not very easy for North to
stand for it. However, North con-
cluded that South could not be very
fond of hearts and, since his high
card holding was as much as could
be expected of any opening bidder,
he realized that because of his three
and-one- quick tricks his hand
would not be a disappointment de-
fensively. He therefore chose to
leave the double in.
The defense cashed two tricks in
hearts, two in clubs, two in spades
and the king of diamonds, while the
nine of diamonds was made on an
overruff of a heart late in the play.
Five hundred points was ample
compensation for the abandonment
of a game which wasn't really
there"

Royal Society, the fame Of Michael
Faraday spread. Being member
of that group of learned men was an
honor for the blacksmith's son, but
more important was something else.
This young man was fred by his
subject. He wanted to explore the
field of electricity and to find out
more about chemistry.
Not only did Faraday want to
learn about the work Of others
he also took steps to discover what
never had been known before. He
made tests with chemicals and elec-
trio currents, and wrote articles
about the results he obtained.
Faraday was a pioneer in proving
that a magnet could make current
of electricity pass through wire. It
had been learned before that elec-
tricity could make a magnet, but this
scientist and one other in England
proved that the test also worked the
ether way.
In those days the electromagnet
was SOrneGnlng new. taraQay SpenC
a week in making big electromag-
net of his own. He did this by wrap
ping wires around the anchor of an
ocean vessel. The anchor had found
its way into a shop where scrap
metal was sold, and he obtained it
for small sum, and used it as the
core of his electromagnetic. =
People started talking about Fara-
day, and one reason for their talk
was this: The scientist gave lectures
and the public was invited to attend.
The lectures were interesting, even
exciting at times. At one lecture
Faraday threw a coal scuttle against
an electromagnetic and it was caught
and held by the magnet.
When Sir Humphrey Davy grew
old, Faraday took his place as active

JOHN L. LEWIS:
A Severe Blow

A federal district court of appeals
dealt a heavy blow at John l..
Lewis and his United Mine Work
ers. Lewis and his union, found
guilty of contempt of court for fail
ing to call off the 1948 coal strike,
had been fined 81, 400, 900.
They appealed. The higher court
upheld the finding and indications
we're that Lewis and his attorneys
would lose no time appealing to the
United States supreme court for a
final decision.
THE CASE grew out Of Lewis
defiance of the Taft-Hartley law
last year for ignoring a court order
issued under the law that directed
the miners to call off a month-old
strike in the soft coal fields.
The district appeals court ruling
made it clear that the decision was
based on the fact that Lewis and
the miners waited until the de-
mands were met before finally call
ing off the strike when they had
been previously directed by the
court to do so.
Justice E. Barrett Prettyman
said on behalf of the court:
THE SUPREME COURT has)
held involving these same ap-
pellants, that he who fails to obey
a court order is punishable for
criminal contempt. That decision
governs us here"
The supreme court already had
upheld the conviction of Lewis and
his miners for defying a similar
court order in the 1916 coal strike.
It was that ruling to which Judge
Prettyman referred. '
