axe Nv Word for 1t
By Fronk Colby

tannica is that the name of city and
fort Des Moines) was taken from
that of the river, which is supposed
to be corruption of the original
Indian name, Moingona, by the
French who at first, using the alb
breviation moin, called it la riviere
DIES moins, and later, through its
association with the Trappist monks,
changed it to la riviere DIES moines,
"the river of the monks"
Overheard at directors meeting:
IT am being de-LOOJED with re-
quests for contributions"
The word the speaker used is de-
luge, IAN overflow; a flood" 1t is
quite proper to use the word as he
used it; but it should not be &C
cented on the second syllable.
Deluge, both noun and verb, is &C
cented on the first syllable, and the
gu" should have the long (yoo)
sound and rhyme with huge, thus:
DELL-yooge.
Rhyme the second syllable of
demise with "size," thus: di-MIZE.
One of the meanings of demise is

laws in which to welcome small
fshes," he did not have a closeup
of the tooth-studded jaws of the
crocodile of either the Nile or
America.
CrocodileS have a slender 22-inch-
long head with massive jaws with
many teeth-two of them in the
lower jaw usually pierce the upper,
Compared with the alligator, the
teeth are longer. The head of the
crocodile is more slender than that
of the alligator. BY this charac-
teristic, you can quickly tell them
apart.
Young specimens are clad in a
greenish color with black markings
Half-grown ones are olive tinted
the old ones wear duly gray.
Crocodiles are considered more
agile than alligators. Though
vicious, the crocodile, "in a wild
state does not exhibit hostility at
sight toward man. The sight of
even a small child will send a r.
footer into the water. And man
may swim in the same water with
safety with the American crocodile
which is, of course, not true of the
Old World cousins" This is state
ment made by the late DR.. Ditmars,
famous curator of reptiles in the
New York Geological Park.
Some crocodiles spring half their
length out of water when food is
offered them. Others can gather
considerable speed on their stubby
legs

American Crocodile.

Another American crocodile is in
residence at our Zoo. 1t was re-
ceived July %. The youngster was
about two feet long. An older rela-
tive resides in his own apartment
in the reptile house. He is giant
of II feet long, weighing about 200
pounds. His general disposition fair
The only part of the United
States where American crocodiles
can be found is in the extreme part
of the Florida Peninsula. The
American crocodile was discovered
by DR.. William T. Hornaday in
1875. He saw a pair reclining in
a sunny spot in Arch Greek, at the
head of Biscayne Bay. Since. that
time, several others have appeared
at the northern limit of Lake
Worth, Fla.
All crocodiles are sun worship
pers. They come out of the deep
water to search for a spot that
will be baked by the sun for hours.
Then they settle down for a long
bliSsful nap.
On the shelving banks of favor
ite stream, birds and small animals
march to their doom. The crocodile
is swift and vicious. It's sharp teeth
make short work of a victim. In
captivity, fish, fully feathered fowl
and raw meat are accepted with
evident pleasure.

''the crocodile had gentle smiling

Each football season inspires a
number of readers to question news
casters pronunciation of the words
defense and offense, as. "DEE-fense,
OFF-ense."
The first-syllable accent is Gus
tomary in the world of sports, and
I suppose we should give it some
sanction when the words are used
as sports words.
Otherwise, however, it is better to
follow established usage and place
the accent on the second syllable,
thus: di-FENSE, uh-FENSE.
Des Moines is pronounced: duh
NOM; or: duh-MOINZ. The exact
origin of the name Des Moines is
uncertain. In Annals of Iowa
1896, by L. F. Andrews, the orig
inal name is given as de Moins,
French for, "the less: the smaller"
The name was given by the French
explorers to a small band of In
dams who were on one side of a
river, while those on the other side
were called the greater"

person" Use of demise in con-
nection with persons not of the
royalty is grandiloquent-in other
words, pulled up, bombastic, POM
pous.
The words desert and dessert are
often confused in spelling. Desert,
the noun, means, "a dry wasteland,"
pronounced: DEZZ-ert. The verb
is: di-ZERT.
Dessert, "the last course of a meal,
usually pie, pudding, ice cream, ETC."
is French loan word from des-
servir, Ito clear the dishes from the
table" Dessert in English, is: di-

Opening lead: Five of diamonds
The final contract was six
spades. On an examination of the
combined holding, it becomes ap-
parent that the slam contract is
not sound one. The odds are
very heavily against fulfilment.
In the first place there is an in
evitable heart loser. After which,
there is the queen of trumps to
worry about, not to mention the
distribution of the adverse trumps
and the little matter of handling
the odd club. But in the actual
bidding, it is rather difficult to
avoid reaching the slam. This is
apt to be the case on hands in
which there is such distinct
duplication Of values as is the case
in the diamond situation where
Souths ace-king are duplicated by
Norths void. Norths response of
three clubs was made specifically
for the purpose of affording South
the opportunity to show a major
suit if he happened to have one;
the void in diamonds, initiating
somewhat against final no
trump contract.
The five of diamonds was opened
time his sequence of plays perfect
ly in order to fulfill this perilous
contract. The diamond ruff must
not be taken now because it will
be required for the purposes Of
entry into dummy later in the
play. The first trick was won with
the king in the closed hand and a
high trump led just for luck. The
three of hearts was then led to
the nine in the dummy. East ac-
tually took the trick and returned
a club. Declarer won and over
took the ten of hearts with the
jack to try the spade finesse. This
succeeded and the remaining
trump was drawn. The king of
hearts was then cashed, dummy
entered with a diamond ruff, and
the losing club discarded on the
established heart.
Note that if the diamond is
rufed in dummy early, East will
refuse to take his ace of hearts
till the third round, and declarer
will have no entry to dummy in
the end play to cash the long heart.
