Newspaper phrase: Shades OF
Judge Roy Bean!" It is an extremely
common error to invoke the shades
Of some long departed person. But
a moments reflection will show that
the plural shades" u nonsense,
since . shade is the departed spirit
of q deceased person.
In humorous invocations shades
is proper in speaking of more than
one deceased person, as, Shades OF
my ancestors!"
From a Michigan obituary page:
Burial will be in Vernon, and a
short prenuptial service will be held
there at 1870 pm" 1t is obvious
that the writer of that bowler had
no idea at all what the word nuptial
means. The word is from the French
from the Latin nuptialis, marriage,
wedding" In English, nuptial, or
nuptials, means marriage ceremony,
wedding"
From a popular column: "1ncog-
nito means wearing . disguise >"
Not 20. Incognito, an italian loan
word, is from the Latin incognitus,
mot known" In both italian and
English incognito means, with ones
identity concealed, usually by means
of an assumed or fictitious name, "
as, to travel incognito. Correct pro-
nunciation: in-KOG-ni-toe.
From an Indiana newsstory: HE
suffered a heart attack and lied on
the ground for As minutes. This
states that the stricken man was a

the verb to lie (tell a falsehood)

verb to lie Ito recline, to become
prostrate). The story should have
read: He lay on the ground ..
From q magazine story: "She sat

In past years I have written about
alligators as well as prehistoric ami
mails, but I shall give few more
notes on these animals today.
In the first place, 1t is interesting
to think of the fact that alligators
are, in some ways, like certain pre-
historic animals. They are members
Of the reptile family and have skin
covering very much like the skin
covering of dinosaurs.
Alligators and their cousins, the
crocodiles, are the largest living
representatives of the reptile group.
The salt water crocodile often
reaches a length of Is feet and some
with a length of 80 feet or bit
more have been reported.
That Is quite length for any
animal to have, but 1t hardly COM
pares with some Of the dinosaurs
The diplodocus dinosaur grew. to .
length Of from 90 to Is feet and
one OF its relatives, the Atlantic
saurus, is believed to have measured
close 70 100 feet from tns tap d its

small head to the end of its long tail.
Many other kinds of prehistoric
animals have existed on earth be-
sides the dinosaurs. Among the
prehistoric mammals we may men,
ton the mammoth and the masto-
don. These have been described as
hairy elephants" and they really
were very much like elephants.
They did, however, differ from mod
ern elephants in other ways besides
their hairy coats.
We are apt to think of the largest
dinosaurs as having been the biggest
animals of all time. To do that Is
an error The long dinosaurs rank
as the longest land animals, but the
ocean can boast of something larger
than any dinosaur.
I am thinking of whales. Some
members Of the whale family are
as long as the longest dinosaurs.
These whales rank first In size be-
cause they are far more bulky than
any dinosaur whose bones have been
found.

Partnership Spirit in the Selection

Partnership Spirit in the Selection
of Trump.
Locating the proper contract at
which to play q hand sometimes
presents difficulties to even the most
experienced players. When the
choice lies between two suits, almost
invariably you should try to deduce
In which suit the partnership has
the greatest number of trumps and
select that suit even though you
personally do not prefer it. 1t is
strange to observe how many play
ers are unwilling to look beyond
their own IS cards In selecting a
trump suit.
Partner, it made no difference to
me. I had the same number of
EACH" is frequently heard, without
consideration for the question,
How many of each has my
partner"
If your partner bids hearts first
and spades later and you have three
small trumps of each, it is your duty
to return to hearts even though you
dislike to increase the contract, be-
cause you should know that your
partner has more hearts than spades.
Today's hand goes one step fur
ther. North opened the bidding
with one heart and South responded
with two clubs. North bid two hearts
and South, having virtually an
opening bid, decided to move TO-
ward a game by bidding two no.
trumps.
North, of course, was not pleased
with the no-trump idea and bid
three spades. East passed and
South was faced with the problem
which caused considerable trouble
for the players who held this hand.
Some of them stubbornly persisted
to three no-trump and North, ex-
hausted by his effort to warn partner
away from no-trump, gave up.
How this contract failed is quite
apparent. Others, quite properly
deciding that this hand had to play
at game and liking spades so much
better than hearts, took their part
ner to four spades. The diamond
opening and the diamond return
brought the declarer down to three
trumps and he was unable to man
age the hand from here in. With
the opponent having more trumps
than himself, the hand collapsed.
South's vision had not been keen
The bidding shows plainly that
North has six hearts and only four
spades. Whenever the opener bids
one suit twice before showing the
others, in the vast majority of cases
1t shows that he has six of the first
bid and only four of the second. II
the holding were six and five the
siX-card suit would be bid first, but
the five-card suit would be shown
at the next opportunity. It should
have been clear, therefore, to South
that the partnership owned eight
hearts and only seven spades and he
should have returned to his part
ner's first suit.

pears to be the best of
