Week END Miscellany.

Q Columnist R, in writing
of the late Irwin Cobb, said, Even
after he was big guy in more
effete circles than ours :" Is not
this the wrong connotation?-
L. A. r.
Answer: Yes. Contrary to COM
mon belief, the word effete does
not mean cultured; sophisticated; !;
of high social and educational
level" Some forgotten phrase
maker once referred to New Eng
land as the "effete East" phrase
that, because of the cultural attri-
butes of the section, was mistaken
as being complimentary.
The truth is, the coiner of the
phrase, if indeed he himself knew
the precise meaning of effete, used
| it in a derogatory sense, for the
word is from the Latin effetus,
weakened and exhausted by exces-
sive child bearing" And something
of that meaning survives in the
modern meaning of effete: "ex-
hausted of fertility; worn out;
barren"-the exact meaning in
tended by the English metaphy-
sician, James Ward, when he OBJ
served: "We do not find effete
civilizations rejuvenated."

likely that his side can score
extensively against two bidding op-
ponents. 1t will be noted that even
though he finds partner with a six
card major suit headed by the ace,
contract of two hearts is the
maximum available to his side.
South's bid of three spades is
vetoed by this department as being
over-aggressive. The merit of
North's opening bid may be judged
when one considers that If South
held as little more than the queen
of diamonds possession of which,
incidentally, would have justified
his second bid, contract of four
spades would have become highly
sound investment. Yet, if North
did not open, the deal would prob
ably be passed out if the remaining
strength happened to be evenly
distributed.
The king of hearts was opened
and East played low. West realized
that declarer'S rebid must have
been based upon partial club fit
because there were no other cards
outstanding. 1t was apparent, there
fore, that the only tricks West
could take were a heart, spade
and a diamond. Since it was obliga-
tory to take two diamond tricks if
the contract was to be defeated.
Vests only hope lay in finding
partner with the ten of diamonds,
and deceiving declarer as to the
location of the diamond honors
He, therefore, shifted to the five
of diamonds.
Had declarer elected to play the
jack he would have made his con-
tract with an overtrick, but he de-
cided on the percentage play of
the nine, hoping that West held
an honor and the 10, rather than
both the king and queen. Normally,
this is the correct play, and in
this particular case declarer can
not be severely criticized. AS far
as he knew, West had doubled on
the ace and king of hearts and the
three other kings, East won with
the ten and returned the suit to
set up diamond trick for West.

IS ERp Nations Open
Currency Exchange
BY the Associated Press.

PARIS, July 8.-Europe's Is
Marshall Plan countries perpared
today to do business through their
own international bank, a Euro
pean Payments Union, to unfetter
trade by canceling out foreign cur
rency shortages.
The Nations, members of the
Organization for European Eco
nomic Cooperation, agreed unan-
imously yesterday to set up the
currency clearing house. OEEC
Secretary General Robert Mar
JOHN called it the most important
financial decision" since founding
of the World Bank in 1916.
Experts now will draw up de-
tailed rules for EPU operations.
They hope to have a final conven-
ton ready for signature early in
August. Its provisions will be
retroactive to July l.
previously european nations,
their trade geared to a system of
bilateral agreements with each
other, could buy only in the coun-
tries whose currency they had
stocks of. Now they will deposit
their holdings with the central
agency. receiving in return EPU
credits good for purchases in any
other member country.
The union provides Europe's
first postwar multilateral trading
system. The adherence to it of
Britain and the sterling area links
that major financial bloc with
European nations in a funda-
mental modification of postwar
British commercial policy.

Opening lead, king of hearts.
When it becomes evident that
ones end cannot be attained by
the application of brute force, the
last resort is to subtlety. Vests
application of this principle got
him out of tight fix in today's
hand.
Perhaps today's bidding in its
entirety will not meet with your
approval. The club opening, for
example, will not receive the in
dorsement of a certain school of
players, but I believe it is losing
bridge to pass hands of this type.
The distribution is of an attractive
pattern and the hand is so con-
stituted that partners responses
can be- handled with ease. There
is the further consideration that
a pass, as dealer. might result in
North being completely shut out
of the auction, if the opponents
should open and get the bidding
under way.
Vests pass over the one-spade
bid is good strategy. He holds what
may be regarded as a whip and he
should not take any action that
will discourage the enemy from
continuing with the bidding. Fur
thermore, he has the type of dis
