Material -Materiel.

q. For our class notebooks, we
should like one Of your easy-to-
follow discussions Of the words
material and materiel. Can you
help my students to understand why
the second word Is used?
A. The words are twins, and are
derived from the Latin materia,
matter or stuff of which anything
Is composed"
The English word material
(spelled lab has SO many meanings
that, standing by itself, it can hardly
be said to mean anything, and must
be qualified by additional words, as ::
raw materials, dress materials,
material wealth, material for book,
etc.
In military and naval circles, a
single word was needed to replace
such cumbersome phrases as,
materials and supplies necessary for
the wsSing OF war" Whereupon,

Goren on Bridae

The sirens of bridge are the
tenace positions. The ace-queen
and king-jack have a strange fas-
cination and have lured many a
contract mariner to his destruction
by inducing illnesses where other
methods would produce happier re-
suits. Many of these disasters could
be avoided If players would change
their attitude toward the finesse.
They should look upon a f1neSse
not as an effort to capture an ad-
verse card, but as means of gain
ing q trick. In other words, when
you are flnessing to an ace-queen
you must not consider that you are
trying to capture the king. Rather,
you are trying to win a trick with
the queen.
Lest any of my readers be Offend
ed by a dissertation so elementary
in its nature, let me hasten to offer
today's hand as an illustration of
an optical illusion that beset a
player of more than average talent.
The final contract of four spades,
which is actually a laydown, was
really a steal, perpetrated against
a pusillanimous East. When West
took his life in his hands to over
call at the level Of two, his courage
should have been accorded greater
recognition than mere single raise.
East should undoubtedly have jump
ed to four hearts, whereupon West
would have been in position to
realize that a sacrifice bid would
not be too expensive. East explained
his timidity on the ground that he
was vulnerable, completely over
looking the fact that his partner
was vulnerable, too, and consequent
ly the two-heart bid must be sound.
The king of hearts was led and
ruffed by declarer. Two rounds of
trumps cleared up that suit and
then the 10 of diamonds was
f1nessed. East won the jack and
returned heart and declarer now
finessed the. queen of diamonds.
The king won and a heart took
declarer's last trump. Dummy was
entered with the ace of diamonds
and the jack of clubs finessed. This

T axe NV Word for 1t
By Fronk Colby

the French word materiel (spelled
-ieD was borrowed, and, In military
use, was given the sole meaning
"the collective supplies, equipment,
ammunition, ornaments, etc., nee
essary for warfare"
Now, in French, material is q
word Of the same varied meanings
as the English material. But we
have made of materiel a valuable,
definite and word-saving term.
The French pronunciation is:
ma-tay-ree-ELL. However, in the
United States, the pronunciation
has been Americanized, thus: muh-
TEER- R-ee-ELL.'
Therefore, we now have what
amounts to strictly Anglo-Ameri-
can word-a companion to the other
French loan-word, personnel-wfich
has little in common with the
French materiel except the identical
spelling.
BY such borrowings and CONVEX

Uncle Ruy's Corner

Many birds have given names
10 themselves. Among these are
the bobwhite and the whippoorwill.
These birds and others, have songs
or calls which tell their names.
In the insect world there is
noise, but never any singing with
vocal cords. We may think of the
"chirping" of a cricket, but that
is hardly a song and in any case
the sound is made by the rubbing
Of wings.
1t is rare thing to find an in
sect which sounds out its own
name, but there is one excellent
example. I am thinking of the
katydid.
Katydids are related to the
grasshopper, but they spend almost
all their time in trees or bushes.
They feed chiefly on leaves.
Katydids are found in North
America, mainly in Eastern parts,
and in some sections of South
America. We may hear them in
twilight and far into the night,
and they seem to say, Katy did,
Katy didn't" have heard this 60
on so long that it grew tiresome.
Like the cricket and other in
sects, the katydid is without vocal
cords. The sounds are made by
rubbing certain parts of the front
wings together. There are little
ridges near the place where the
wings join the body. When the
ridges are scraped against each
other, sounds are produced.
Male katydids mot the females)
scrape their wings. 1t has been
figured that from $50 to 200
scrapes are made in a minute,
counting three for each Katy did"
or katy didn't" sound.
Not all insects of this group
make the same sounds. Many of
those in New England seem to say
"squa-WACK" or "squa- wa -WACK."
