Parties and Franks On Halloween
(Continued from Page D

tContinued from Page D and black. These all were the handwork of the children.
 Little Red Riding Hood with basket of goodies and Little Bo Peep with crook in hand stepped out of Mother Goose" to at. tend. Mickey Mouse and good sized monkey had difficulty managing long tails. Little old ladies in black and white min gled with the younger genera ton. Jack in the Box waved large ears, a pirate bold held his own with good old Robin Hood, resplendent in forest green tunic and bow and arrow. Witc Ines and ghosts milled around among numerous Roy Rogers and cowboys and fairy or two added a touch of dainti- ness to the picture. The Devil himself was much in evidence, complete with horns and pitch fork.
 Pictures were taken by the Alaska Shop with and without masks and will be on sale there within a few days.
 The ward Kindergarten most sincerely thanks the mo- thers and grandmothers who so generously donated wonderful Halloween cookies, candy and punch, without which a party is not party.
 FRANKS AT MINIMUM
 Parents cooperated with the Police Department this year in holding the playing of pranks to minimum. It was too much to expect that youngsters would forego the opportunity to turn over garbage cans, move the racks, soap windows and in- dulge in other annoying but harmless pranks.
 "Trick-or-treaters" were out in force, but most houses were we'll prepared with bribes of candy, cookies or apples.
 A couple of wrecks were left on Fourth Avenue for the police to remove. Tires were left flat here and there, and Dick Beiss- ner chased a disappearing signal flare all over town.

Medical Words.

Let's talk about the suff1x -itis
which, n medical terms, is equivalent
to "infammatory disease of" as IN
bronchitis, arthritis, gastritis, etc.
An M. D. Of Hartford, Conn,
writes, IT had never heard the
'EE-tis' pronunciation until I hit
New York. One of my professors
of surgery there insisted on our
using the pronunciation 'uh-PEN-
di-SEE tiss' for appendicitis. have
also heard doctors tell of patients
having sinus-ee-tiss as the result OF
tonsil-eye-tiss.
"Also, I was taught at Yale to
say Abdomen and told in New
York to say abdomen. am now
hopelessly confused"
The pronunciation "EE-tiss" for
tits was frequently heard around
the turn of the century when the
operation for appendicitis began to
be regular surgical practice.
I recall that we children made a
Joke of the word appendicitis by
pretending great pain and groaning,
1--WE got pin in the seat-iss!"
But nowadays the "EE-tiss" pro-
nunciation is obsolescent. One never
hears it in such tits words as bron-
chitis, arthritis, nephritis, polio
neuritis. The standard
American pronunciation of such
words is overwhelmingly "EYE-tiss. +"
Incidentally, the condition called
gastritis (gass-TRY-tiss) is not so
called because the patient has gas
on the stomach. Gastritis is formed
from CASTRO, "the stomach" plus
tits, inflammation Of"
As to the word abdomen, two pro-
nunciations are regularly heard:
AB-duh-m'n and ab-DOE-m'n.
Both are correct. And there is good
reason to believe that AB-duh-m'n
now prevails somewhat in American
usage.
Recently I asked physicians among

In the Bible the ruler Of ancient
Egypt is called Pharaoh. That name
grew out of words meaning Great
House" and was given to the ruler
because he lived in q very large
house.
The Pharaoh, or King, was man
with great power. Legends grew up
about certain of them and they
were given worship as If they were
gods.
Other men besides the king had
large houses, but the average family
in Egypt lived in homes with only
from one to three rooms. The walls
of these houses were made from mud
which had been packed well. Some
times, but not always, the mud was
formed into bricks before being used
to build the walls.
The roofs of the houses were
thatched with leaves from palm
trees. Usually the floor of a poor
mans house was simply the ground.
In q small house of that kind
there was only little furniture.
There might be a few low stools
and a wooden chest for storing
clothing.
Mats woven from reeds were en-
ployed as things to sleep on. Some
times the edges Of the mats were
turned up. with sharp prickles all
around. The idea Of that was to

The kitchen section of a home
contained bowls and jars made OF

and perhaps few spoons. Now and
then there were bins for storing OIL
and grains.
The fire in q kitchen was built

Flint stones were struck against
iron or some other metal to produce
sparks. The sparks set f1re to dry
grass or bits of reeds and the result
was q blaze.
Many families kept the fire going
day and night. It might be allowed
to die down at night, but there were
embers under the ashes and these
were famed into flame whenever
possible.

Trying for Slam Below the
Game Level.

Game Level.
1t would seem to be good business
reasoning that where it is conven-
tent to try for slam below the
game level, that method is prefer
able to making your effort after a
game contract has been reached.
Slam possibilities will then have
been fully explored and you will be
in position to quit If necessary with
out having jeopardized the game
itself.
I do not mean that you must not
occasionally invite your partner to
bid slam by calling something like
five spades. On certain hands that
is inevitable. But where it is just
as convenient to fire your big salvo
early in the fray, you may avoid the
risk of being set at contract OF one
over game.
In today's hand North opened
with one diamond. and South re-
sponded with one heart. He chose
not to make an immediate jump
shift because, without having as yet
determined a good place to play the
hand, he did not wish to start a
slam conversation. 1t is only after
North rebid one spade that South
began to show an interest in slam.
He made the mistake, however, of
bidding three spades, a game force
to be sure, which North dutifully
observed by going to four. South,
feeling that he had not yet tried for
a slam, did so at this point by show
ing the ace of clubs. North signed
of at five spades and South retired,
but it was too late. The damage
had been wrought and when trumps
broke badly the contract was de-
feated a trick.
This was a bit of hard luck that
could have been obviated by proper
MANAGEMENT. When South recog-
nized slam possibilities, he should
have flashed the slam signal below
game by jumping in new suit. It
is true that he hasn't really another
suit, but that doesn't matter, since
regardless of what suit North sup
ports, South is prepared to return
to spades. After the jump shift OF
three clubs, North should make the
noncommttal rebid of three dia-
monds. If South feels so inclined
he may jump again, this time in
spades, though without a high honor
in trumps this is risky procedure.
At any rate. in this manner South
will have succeeded in showing a
powerful hand within the game level
and North, having fully described his
values, may gracefully check out OF
the auction.
It Is well to note that jump from
one spade to three should not be
employed when a slam is in contem-
plation. A jump in new suit is
the procedure in such cases. This
avoids the necessity for overbidding
the game in an effort to advertise
your interest in slam.
