Store or Department
GA"

Store ga" was originally set up at
the State Liquor Warehouse as an
accommodation to the employees and
for the distribution of Medicinal Al
cohol to Hospitals, etc. 1t was then
Department A" and was handled by
a warehouse employee as de facto
vendor. Store or Department GA"
soon outgrew its original purpose
and during the rationing period it
blossomed like rose. 1t drew upon
the entire warehouse for its stock in
trade.
1t delivered good liquor in case
lots to favored customers and per-
sons of influence upon verbal in
structions from officers of the
board. Out of 1000 bottles of Old
Granddad on hand and received dur
ing the rationing period, so percent
was sold out of store A. Some ord
ers were signed but no permit num-
bers were placed thereon. In other
instances no orders were signed and
the vendor merely reported the sale
of several hundred cases of whiskey
with no record of consignee or des-
tination. All this is in defiance of
Section 16 of the Liquor Control
Act which provides:
"Section 16. The state liquor
store shall upon each and every sale
of liquor to any licensee, issue
duplicate invoice of the liquor pur-
chased as provided by said board,
copy of which shall be delivered to
the licensee and one copy retained at
such store. The invoice shall show
the date of purchase, name of en-
ployee making the sale, the quantity
of each kind of liquor purchased, the
price paid therefor, the name of the
icensee and the number of the Ii
cense, with such other information as
may be required by the board. The
licensee shall keep and retain his du
plicate invoice of all purchases made
by him from the state liquor store,
which shall at all times be subject
to inspection by the duly authorized
officers, agents and employees of the
board"
A witness employed by a local
liquor dealer backed his station
wagon up to store A and took three
loads of whisky to three different
destinations in the state. The ITO |
cases of Brinck-Daniels whisky came
from store A. In another instance
], 013 cases of whisky left store A
for the Lawrence bar in /
Butte. 1t wound up in the hands of |
L. Sasich in care of the Midland |
National bank, Billings. Sasich was
not a licensed dealer. How or why
the liquor was delivered to him can
not be ascertained There are no
explanatory records.
The Officers club in Great Falls
was a steady customer of store A.
It purchased by the truckload and
tastes of its members ran largely to
bonded bourbon imported
Scotch.
Six cases of whiskey simply van
shed into thin air from the floor of
store A. When an employee re- ]
ported the incident, he was told to
mind his own business. Mr.. Wallace
lad 27 cases of imported wine set
aside for him but delayed making
payment until the price had been
educed from over So bottle to 65

Worcester: Recently, in empha-
sizing that English is not phonetic,
you listed the trio: Bomb, comb,
tomb. Are there any other series
of three that are so different in
pronunciation?-H. M.
Answer: Here are a few, but
there are many more: Hose, dose,
lose: done, gone, lone; blood, food,
good: fussy, hussy, pussy.
Q. Why is the golfers "caddie' so
called?
A. Golf originated in Scotland.
Caddie is a Scotch corruption Of
the French cadet pronounced: ka-
DEH. The original Scotch mean
ing of caddie was, IAN errand boy;
one who does odd jobs"
Washington: Please give the
proper pronunciation Of the word
connoiSseur.-E.
Answer: Connoisseur is the Angli-
cized form of the French eonnais-
seur, from the verb connaitre, "to
know" In best usage, connoisseur
is pronounced koni-i-SER, the third
syllable rhyming with her, per.
Some dictionaries also show a long
III" (yoo) sound in the third syl-
liable, thus: koni-i-SYOOR. How
ever, do not recommend it for
the reason that "syoor" approaches
or actually becomes sewer thus
giving the word an unpleasant con-
notation. ~
Oakland: Why is the large boil on
the back of the neck called a
carbuncle? Isn't that the name of
IA precious stone?-Mrs. G. H. S.
A. Two Thousand years or SO ago
some Roman gentleman, suffering
intensely from a large boillike
swelling on the back of his neck,
said that it felt as if live coal
we're burning its way into his flesh.
He used the Latin word, carbun-
culus, "a small live coal" and from
1t we have the modern word car
bumcle. The precious stone, the
carbuncle, is so called for its resem-
blance to . small glowing coal.

An interesting question about the
small planet Mercury has come to
me from Lloyd Franenglass, who
writes:
as it hot enough on Mercury to
melt the metals which we have on
earth?"
Mercury is the closest planet to
the sun, and it moves faster than
any of the others. In one second
lit travels 80 miles on the average.
Close study of the planet has
shown that certain markings on it
keep their place instead Of moving
quickly out Of sight, as they would
liz Mercury were spinning rapidly.
1T is believed that this planet twists
around only once in period Of SO
of the earth's days. Since Mercury
goes around the sun In that period,
there is reason to believe that one
side always faces the sun and that
the other side always is In darkness.
Efforts to measure the holiness Of
Mercury have been made. A figure
of about $50 degrees above zero
Fahrenheit is given for the bright
side. II that Is correct, the bright
side is hot enough to melt q few
metals which we know.
That temperature would be hot
enough to melt tin. also lead. 1t
would not, however, melt gold or
silver or iron.

Goren on BRIDGE
Third Hand Not Too High

Against the contract Of three no.
trump, West elected to lead the
three of spades, though many mod
ern players, on apparently hopeless
hands Of this type, tend to favor a
short-suit lead, in the vague hope of
finding partners strength.
The four of spades was played
from dummy and East, guided by
the maxim third hand high" won
the ace. He returned the queen,
which was permitted to hold, and
the third round of spades was taken
by declarer. The club finesse was
now tried and lost to East, who was
unable to return a spade, and de-
clarer romped OF with the rest of
the tricks.
The hand was not given a fur
ther thought. Every one assumed
that the normal result had been at
tanned. Actually, East had been
afflicted with lack of vision in blind
ly following the adage, third hand
high"
East's proper play at trick one
was the queen Of spades, on the
following reason: If partner holds
the king it is immaterial whether
East plays the ace or the queen,
but the opening no-trump bid by
South marks him almost to a cer-
tainty with that card. The impor-
tant point is that South cannot have
the singleton king. This is apparent
both from the no-trump bid and
from the fact that partner led the
three Chis fourth best), which means
that West has at most five cards in
the suit. That is to say, West has
three cards higher than the three,
and can have only one card that
Is lower, namely the deuce, allowing
him a maximum of five cards in
that suit and therefore declarer a
minimum of three.
East should realize that if he plays
the ace, declarer will refuse to win
with the king until the third round,
and surely simple survey of the
high cards in sight should make it
clear that West cannot have an
entry card.
II, however, East had played the
queen, South, not knowing the loca-
tion of the ace Of spades, would
have been compelled to win the
trick and when East obtained the
lead with the king of clubs, the ace
and another spade would defeat the
contract.
While it is true that South could
still have made the hand by refus-
ing the queen of spades, I think it
will be agreed that this is a play
which he would hardly have been
in position to make unless East
had made gratuitious display of
all his possessions. The type Of STRAIT
egy suggested lor East Is a defense
