To bid a slam with a nine-high
suit requires not only close attention
to the bidding, but implicit faith
in partner. Then, too, a steady set
of fingers is frequently an essential
part of the equipment. Witness to-
days performance.
North opened with one diamond.
1t will be noted that, while the
hand has appropriate distribution,
it is too strong for an opening bid
OF one no-trump. 1t possesses a
point count Of 81, which makes it
just little short of a standard two
no-trump opening. The compromise
suit bid should be made in those
cases When South responded with
one spade, bright things loomed on
the horizon and North made the
game-forcing jump shift of three
clubs. The alternate rebid would be
a jump to three no-trump, showing
balanced hand with a point count
of about 21 South showed his second
suit and North now jumped to four
spades. Such action almost invaria-
bly, denotes four-card trump hold
ing, but in this case North felt it
WaS imperative to take this drastic
action for the purpose of relieving
partners probable anxiety about the
texture of the trump suit. In the
face of this strong bidding, South
was justified in showing the king
of clubs and North returned the
courtesy by showing the king of
hearts. while all this cue bidding
was taking place, it was naturally
presumed from North's jump in
spades that that suit would be the
final trump
That was all the information that
South required and he promptly

Open and Closed SyllabIeS.

This is going to be a little techni-
cal. But don't let the word techni-
cal scare you away. I simply want
to explain again why the long O.
|oh) in occasion, offensive, Official
tas "oh-casion, etc., and the long
"e" (ee) in effective, efficient, es-
sential Gas reflective" etc., are in
violation of an important principle
Of British and American English.
The principle has to do with open
and closed syllables. Few people
even teachers and students Of
speech know about open and closed
syllables," so let us see what the
term means.
An open syllable is one which
ends with or consists of a vowel
In the name Okla -ho-ma, for ex-
ample, all four Syllables are open
i.e., they end with a vowel.
A closed syllable is one which
ends with conSonant or a conson-
ant sound. In the word often -sive
all syllables are closed (the final "e,' >
Of course, is silent).
Now vowels in closed syllables
rarely ever take the long sound
especially If such closed syllables
are unaccented When the vowel
20 occurs in an unstressed, closed
syllable. it usually is obscured in
sound, becoming "uh," like the co.
OF connect" Ruh-NEKT). On the
other hand, if 20" occurs in an ac-
cented, open syllable, it usually has
the long (oh) sound, as in open
ing" OH-pen-ing).
Likewise, the vowel "e" in un-
stressed, closed Syllables is usually
short (eh) as in en,rap-ture (en-
RAP-cher). In open syllables, "e"
usually is long whether stressed or
not, as in ECONOMY" (ee-KON-
oh-mee), "e-pit-o-me" (ee-PIT-oh-
mel, "e-co-nom- (EE-koe-
NOM'ikS).
Now let US divide our six words
into syllables, thus:
occasion effective.
Offensive efficient
official Essential
Since all six words begin with
closed, unStressed syllables, the in
1tial "o's" should have the obscured
"uh" sound, and the "e's" should
have the short "eh" sound, thus: ::
uh-kAY-zhun, uh-FEN -sive, uh-

contracted for slam, reasoning that
only one trick would be lost and
that in either spades or diamonds.
The jack of trumps was opened
and three rounds were taken. South
gave himself three chances to make
the hand. He first tried the dia-
monds, leading the ten. If West
turned up with the ace, his troubles
would be over. But the queen went
to East's ace and club was return
ed. He then tried for a heart break
which failed to come off.

the survey said.
Total sales were slightly above
the high level for the correspond
ing week in 1949. While rising
prices for many items were con-
sidered responsible for much of
the record dollar volume, there
was also a very slight increase in
unit sales from last years level.
"The consumer interest in ap-
parel rose somewhat this week
as many small articles of cloth
ing were extensively purchased.
This included hosiery, footwear,
handkerchiefs. accessories and
blouses.
"Colored sportshirts for men
were also favorably received by
shoppers in scattered localities.
There was a moderate increase in
demand for some lines of chill
dren's wear as we'll as for many
sports items such as hunting garb
and cruise wear. The rise in suit
buying was not appreciable. Re-
quests for coats, however, in
creased seasonally."
