Hollywood: A large concern, In a
magazine advertisement, stated.
There are number Of people who
are susceptible to colds" I wrote
to them and told them that the
word number" is always singular
and takes singular verb, as There
is number of people who is sus-
ceptible to colds" But they insist
that their sentence was correct
DR.. Won.
Answer: Sorry, but the sentence
is correct as it ran. I know of no
authority which holds that the
noun number" is always singular.
The rule is: When number is used
collectively it takes a singular verb.
When it is used diStributively 1t
takes a plural verb.
Now, let us see just what that
means. Here are two sentences; In
the first number" is collective; in
the second it is distributive:
/. The number of students is in
creasing. (Note that number" is
preceded by "the.')
| 2. A number of students are alb
sent. (Note that number is pre-
ceded by az
In the first sentence, "the num-
ber of students" emphasizes the
number rather than the students

themselves. The sentence states
that the enrolment Is increasing.
"The number of students" then, is
collective since it embraces all of
the students without exception-it
considers them as a single unit.
In the second sentence, "a num-
Der Of students" expresses the idea
of some Of the students" Num-
ber," then, is distributive, since it
considers the absent students as so
many individuals. It does not name
them as unit or group: 1t is an
indefinite statement to the effect
that some tperhaps a few, perhaps
many Of the students are absent.
Here is a simple key to the usage:
Leave >out "a number Of" If the
sentence makes sense, the verb
should be plural.
Example: 6. students is in
creasing" doesn't make sense. "The
number of students Is (singular)
increasing, is correct.
q. students are absent" This
makes sense. "A number of stu
dents are (pluraD absent" is cor
rect.
Therefore: There are "a num-
ber of people who are susceptible
to colds" clearly is the correct sem
tenCe.

At its eastern end, Lake Superior
sends to Lake Huron half million
gallons of water each second Of the
day and night. That is an average
figure.
We find that the five Great Lakes
rank this way in size: Superior,
Huron, Michigan, Erie and Ontario.
Lake Superior is bit larger than
the State of South Carolina, and is
more than four times the size of
Lake Ontario.
After Lake Superior in depth is
Lake Michigan. Then follow HUI
ron, Ontario and Erie. At its deep
est part, Lake Erie has less than X
the greatest depth of Lake Superior
Lake Superior is the highest

Lake Ontario, on the other hand, is

Opening lead, jack of spades.
A great many players have come
10 regard the finesse as means of
capturing an adversely held honor
card. This distorted view accounts
for the improper handling Of a
number of card combinations. If
more players would look upon a
finesse as a means of winning
tricks, rather than killing somebody
else's cards, a great improvement
In playing technique would be ef-
fected.
Today's hand is an Illustration of
an elementary type of mistake
brought on principally by the at
titude referred to above. South
was declarer at a contract of three
no-trump. His opening bid of two
no-trump has the classic require
ments and North's raise to game
is normal Nothing is to be gained
by showing the emaciated diamond
suit and, since partner has shown
q holding of about % points, there
should be a reasonably good play
for game.
The jack of spades was opened
and South could see nothing but
the chance to finesse against the
queen Of diamonds. He, therefore,
won the trick in dummy and led
the ten of diamonds. This lost to
the queen and the spade suit was
continued. Declarer was locked out
Of two good tricks in dummy and
was unable to fulfill his contract.
CA little experience with end plays
would have been of some assistance
to declarer, but suppose that
would be asking too much Of him.
The fulflllment OF the contract
involved nothing more complicated
than counting up to nine. Since
only three diamond tricks are
needed to fulfill contract, the ace
and queen should be cheerfully
conceded to the opposition. The
spade should be won by declarer
and the king of diamonds played.
This is the proper play rather than
the jack, because if there is a
singleton queen out around the
table, declarer need lose only one
trick in the suit. If, on the other
hand, there is a singleton ace out
standing, it is true that the jack
will drive it out, but then a trick
will have to be lost to the queen
anyway. The important considera-
ton is to preserve dummy's ace
