First, because North Is not obliged
to respond to this change of suit
It Is to be borne in mind that North
is not the opening bidder and is
therefore not subject to the new
suit forcing" rule. He is at liberty
to check out at any time that 1t
suits his convenience so to do. He
is under duty to bid again only
when his partner jumps the bid in
a new suit or makes a cue bid.
Secondly, even if North does speak
again after the three-diamond bid
as for example by rebidding three
hearts, South will find himself with
an awkward problem on his hands
Should he 60 to four hearts? He
then becomes assailed with certain
doubts. II wonder If partner rebid
three hearts merely because he
could not stand diamonds or did he
continue bidding because he had a
sound hand?"
Perhaps the best way to avoid
both the risk and the problem il
to give partner an immediate raise
to three hearts. If he goes on he
will find your hand a useful dummy
and If he chooses to pass you should
be quite convinced that you are
playing the hand in the right suit
@ 10 doubleton is surely adequate
support for a reliable partner who
has made a vulnerable overcall al
the level of two.

Uncle Ruy's Corner

| During a visit to Portugal you
might see bullights of strange
kinds. In Spain and Mexico the
bulls are killed by the men who
fight them. In Portugal, on the
other hand, it is the custom to let
a bull escape death.
Before the eyes of large crowd
a bull is let into ring. 1t might
be shy in front of thousands Of
people, but darts are used to make
lit angry. With several darts in its
neck, put there by the so-called
"bandrillos," the beast rushes at its
enemies.
The men dodge the charge, but
one of them may find the bull run
ming after him, no matter where he
turns. In that case he runs to a
low wall or fence and leaps over it.
This saves him, as rule, but at
times the bull has been known to
Jump over the wall This excites
the crowd, but If the man is few
feet ahead he can escape harm.
Certain bullfghters are mounted
and If these manage their steeds
properly they can get away from
danger anywhere in the ring.
After the bull has been fighting
for about 10 minutes the darts are
taken from its neck and it is let
alone. Helpers drive a herd OF
COWS into the ring and the bull joins
them and leaves in peace.
We sometimes hear about taking
the bull by the horns" That is an
old saying, and the usual meaning
is that a person goes after prob
lem and settles it. In Portugal
there are men who really do take
bulls by the horns.
! Several men on foot face an angry
bull One steps forward and seizes
both horns in his hands, then clngs
for dear life. A few moments later
his comrades rush to his aid and
grasp the bull so firmly that it is
without power to do harm.
Clowns often appear in the bull
rings of Portugal, usually between
scheduled bullfghts. One clown
may be seated on a make-believe
animal stuffed donkey. A bull is
made angry enough to charge but
another clown rushes in front of it
and tries to draw it away from the

Nv Word for 1t

American writers have been seized
with a madness which manifests
itself In using the word nostalgia
on every possible occasion, as "a
nostalgia song, a nostalgia book, a
nostalgia poem"
Writers apparently are using the
word in the meaning "yearning for
or reminiscent of the good old days
or bygone times" But the word
doesn't mean that. Nostalgia is an
adjective meaning "homesick," and
nothing more.
Nostalgia is derived from nostalgia
inconsistencies, especially homesick-
ness in its severe forms, producing
arrangement of mental and physi-
cal functions" New Century. Nos
talgia is from the Greek nostos, "a
return home" plus algia, pain"

nostalgia as a noun 10 times. The
first sentence Is typical: why is
it, asked the nostalgia, that the

The editorial speaks of war as

is nostalgia? Pleasant thoughts of

Nostalgia does not mean reminis-

does not mean old style or old-time.

nostalgia is primarily a medical

T0G QOeStlOn WnaG Is normal
trump support" Is not one that may
be answered in q phrase. The re-
quirements vary with conditions.
A partnership should, as rule,
avoid reaching game contract in
a trump suit in which they hold
less than eight cards between them.
So that If opener has q four-card
suit, responder should have four;
If opener has q fve-card suit. his
partner may support with only
three, and If opener has six-card
suit, he should get along reason
ably well with only two in dummy,
provided the supporting hand
measures up in other respects.
The standard texts provide that
normal trump support (for q single
raise) is Qxx or xxx. In other
words, one Of the high-trump honors
Is regarded IS the equal Of two
small ones. So that occasionally
opener may find himself playing
suit contract with only seven
trumps, but in that case the dummy
will have a high honor. The normal
trump support indicated above al
lows for the circumstance that
opener may have a four-card suit.
Where subsequent rounds Of bid
ding make it clear that he has
longer suit, responder's requirements
become relaxed. If opener by his
rebid has shown q good f1ve-card
suit, responder may support, If his
hand Is otherwise suitable, with
xxx or OK and If opener has bid
the suit three times without sup
port from partner) a six-card suit is
indicated and the raise may be made
with two small trumps or the lone
queen.
Supporting partners overcall in
wolves different considerations. Now
you should no longer make allow
ances for the possibility that part
ner has four-card suit. When your
partner overcalls at the level Of two,
you may put it down in your note
book that he has very good FIVE
card suit or very bad habit. This
Is especially true If you happen to
be vulnerable.
When I saw the above hand
played South actually bid three dia-
monds over his partners two-heart
bid. This was very ill-chosen call.

What's the Origin?

@. Is the tower of Babel so-called
because of the "babble" which re-
suited from the confusion of tongues?
This question has our Sunday school
split wide open, so please restore us
to peace and harmony.
A. That the tower was named for
the babbling of tongues is super
stition that has long endured. 1t
also is responsible for the mispro-
nunciation of Babel as "babble. !"
The correct pronunciation is:
BAY-b1.
Babel is the native name of Baby
Ion and evolved from the Assyrian-
Babylonian word Babilu, meaning
gate of God"
For centuries scholars have puzzled
over an apparent mistake in transla-
ton in Genesis, xi9: Therefore is
the name of it (the tower) called
Babel; because the Lord did there
confound the language of all the
earth The concordance ol
the Authorized Version interprets
Babel as meaning confusion,
which, of course, is its modern
figuratiye meaning.
The Encyclopedia Britannica says
''the name Babel however, gives 8
totally different Interpretation /. Z.
for it is derived from bab, gate
and ilu, God. The confusion o1
tongues would be more correctly
indicated by 'balal,' a Semitic wore
meaning to confuse"
The word babble is not related Il
either the name Babel or the
Semitic word balal. Babble is from
the Middle English babelen, "tt
prate, chatter" and which is thought
TO have evolved from the Sanskrit
balbala, foreign, strange"
At any rate, careful speakers viii
want to distinguish carefully be.
tween Babel and the word babble
Even when babel (not capitalized) i!

In the play of no-trump contracts,
most declarers, Immediately they
obtain the lead, proceed with the
development of their longest suit.
Today we have case in which the
establishment of declarer's best suit
was postponed for the purpose of
putting over a quick bit of larceny,
while the defense was apt to be re-
laXed. The final contract of three
no-trump was logical enough, though
some might take issue with South's
rebid of one no-trump with hand
containing singleton of partners
suit.
The opening lead was the queen
Of diamonds. 1t will be noted that
II the club finesse succeeded, de-
clarer had nine tricks at any time
he chose to take them. And if the
club finesse failed the contract was
evidently doomed, since it appeared
to be a moral certainty, from the
Vulnerable overcall, that West held
-the ace of spades and that the long
sdiamond suit would be established
before these two key cards were
+dislodged.
Declarer won the first trick with
the king of diamonds and immedi-
ately led a small spade West reflex
ly played low and dummy won with
the queen. This was trick No.
and declarer promptly took the
club fnesse. 1t lost and West estab-
lished his diamonds, but South ran
for cover.
: West, of course, had played very
-woodenly. He should have rushed
right in with the ace of spades to
Establish the diamonds, while he
still had the king of clubs. He
should have realized that without
the club suit declarer could not
bring home the hand.
