often somebody writes me anc
says: please can't you help me to
get loan under the CT bill? Our
bank doesn't handle them"
The only thing I can do is write
back and say, TRY another bank
or trust company or building and

ing agency.
For a long time now it has been
getting tougher and tougher to
get a loan under the CT bill. But
some veterans still have the idea
there is something automatic
about a CT bill loan, that all they
have to do is go to bank Cor write
to the VA), produce their honor
able discharge, and, presto, they
have loan.
1t does not work that way. The
only way to get a CT bill loan is
to find a private lender willing to
make one. Once you've done that,
the VA steps in and guarantees a
certain portion of the loan (pro-

So, If you have trouble getting
a lender to do business with you
all you can do is keep shopping

z CHANGES IN POTATO


Further details of the 1949 Irish
potato price-support program, n
nounced by the U. S. department of
agriculture, show two major changes
from the programs followed in pre-

The principal change is the estab-
lishment of a single price as the base
support-price for all eligible pota-
toes, in order to encourage move
ment of the better grades of pota-
toes into consumption through regu-
lar commercial channels and limit,
insofar as possible, government pur-
chases to the lower grades. The
other major change is the announce
ment at this time of the year of the
complete price-support schedule by
states for the entire potato crop.

The air around us Is made up OF
several gases. How is it possible
to turn those gases into liquid
which can be poured out of a jar
as if it were boiling water?
Several men tried to make such
liquid a century ago. At last a
French scientist found a way to
turn oxygen, an important part of
air, into liquid. Soon afterward
another Frenchman, Cailletet, made
liquid out of air. That was 10
years and one month ago.
Other men, hundreds of them,
have made liquid air since then. It
is in widespread use by teachers of
science, and has found a small
place in industry.
Air must be sent through tubes
and put under high pressure to turn
it into liquid. The pressure runs up
to 5000 pounds to the square inch.
A hollow rubber ball will become
hard If 1t is placed in liquid air.
After the ball is hardened in this
way you may throw 1t against the
floor and break 1t into a dozen
pieces.
After a steel spring is dipped in
liquid air it may be lighted with a
match and will burn with a brilliant
flame.
Hold a soap bubble over a bowl
filled with liquid air and the steam"
will freeze the bubble. That is one
way to make a soap bubble last a
long time.
Liquid air is so cold that it will
freeze alcohol. Yet it can burn
any flesh with which 1t comes in
contact.
If a person dips his finger into
liquid air and pulls it out in hurry
he will escape harm. If he kept it
in the liquid air for two or three
seconds, however, the finger would
be destroyed.
An iron skillet, or frying pan, may
be damaged If 1t is dipped in liquid
air. After taking It out We ind

Nv WORD for 1t

The word efficient Is one Of six
words that are often given an er-
roneous and too-precise pronuncia-
ton on the air. The six words are:
Efficient, effective, essential, occa-
sion, offensive, official.
The mispronunciations are: Zee
ficient, defective, essential, oh
casion, offensive, official"
These pronunciations will not be
found in any dictionary. Here is
why they are wrong:
There is a rule in English that G)
vowels in closed syllables have the
short or obscured sound, and not
the long sound; (2) vowels in open
syllables usually have the long
sound.
Now let me explain In simple Ian
guage what that paragraph means.
A closed syllable is one that ends
with a consonant; an open syllable
is one that ends with a vowel.

Goren on Bridoe

It is a form Of arrogance for
player to take it upon himself to
decide what q hand will or will not
produce when his partner has made
. demand for specific information.
This type Of high-handedness is
sobserved in various forms. We have
all, at one time or another, been
subjected to the tribulation of
having partner leave in our take
out double Of one of a suit, just
because he had such a bad hand
that he was afraid of getting into
trouble by bidding. The opponents
go on to make their contract with
an overtrick, whereupon it is dis
covered that we could have made
q part-score with the greatest of
ease.
Then there is the case of the
player who loses his nerve when
partner makes a conventional bid
Of the Blackwood variety, calling for
aces He takes it upon himself to
., decide that there is no slam and
leaves his partner in what may be
q fantastic contract, when he
should merely obey orders and let
: his partner decide.
In today's hand we have case that
operated along somewhat similar
i. lines. West opened with a bid of
f; four spades, which is good strategy
( with this type of hand. If partner
! As trickless, the loss will be no
:. greater than 500 points less 100
honors. And in that case the op-
ponents will almost surely have
slam.
North and East had no problem,
but South most decidedly did. He
could double the adverse bid, he
knew It was based on a freak.
Consequently he felt that the pen
atty would not be adequate COM
pensation for the loss Of a game
which he was quite sure his side
could score If he could find out
North's best suit. How could he
do It? The bid Of four no-trump in
this position is conventional and
amounts to gigantic takeout

It upon himself to decide that there
was no slam and therefore permit
ted his partner to play 1t at that
contract, which was fulfilled.
North's refusal to obey orders did
not In this case involve very great
loss, but good judgment would have
netted him a handsome reward.
North should have realized that a
slam was very probable. and on very
simple reasoning. South was will
ing to play for II tricks even If
North had a blank hand. Surely
the ace Of spades together with the
king of hearts and the queen of
clubs should develop two tricks in
the actual play. Since South was
willing to gamble for II tricks, he
should have no difficulty making IL
tricks with hand that had three
potential tricks.
The fulfllment of slam contract
IN hearts would have been a very
easy matter. In fact, at double
dummy all 13 tricks can be taken.
The recommended bid by North,
after his partners four-no-trumr
bid. Is six hearts.

Now we see that the first syllable
of each word is closed-it ends with
a consonant. Therefore the "es"
should be short (eh) and the "os"
should have the obscured Cuh)
sound.
Check the six words in your die

Now here are two words which
begin with open syllables: emo
ton, Obey. The first vowels, then,
properly have the long sound, thus:

This Is very important point
for all public speakers to remember.
There is still another reason why
