tinued to be used as q singular
noun, as, "a shambles."
In modern usage, shambles is per-
missible in designating any scene
of slaughter, as battleeld, a
bombed building or city in which
many persons were killed and in
jured. But it is stretching a figure
of speech too far to use shambles
in speaking Of ones hair, or a dis
ordered room, or to use the word
as a verb.
Effete and fulsome are badly
misused by most writer's. Effete
does not mean, sophisticated, re-
fined, cultured" It means, worn
out, barren, decadent"
Fulsome does not mean "abund-
ant, full, copious" It means, dis
gusting, offensive to good taste, nau-
seating" 1t is traced to the Anglo
Saxon word full, which means foul,
rotten"
Now any one can learn this by
going to a good dictionary. But
writers never question the word full

Heard on the radio: i" Bombed
the city into q shambles." From a
magazine story: 'Look at my hair.
It's a perfect shambles!" From an
other story: ''The children sham
bled the living room"
Shambles is perhaps the most
abused word in the English Ian
guage. To begin with, shambles
does not mean debris, rubbish,
wreekage, rubble, ruins, disorder,
untidiness, disarray."
Shamble is from the Latin scamel-
lum, "a little bench" Originally, a
shamble was a bench or stall where
butchers displayed meat for sale.
Later on the word took on the fig
urative meaning of "any place of
carnage (slaughter)." Also "a slave
market" in American usage.

What do you bid?
A. This hand possesses considerable
merit being the equal of an opening bid.
However, If a convenient contract cannot
be found, there may be. no game in the
hand. The partial misflt in spades suggests
that the hand has better defensive posi-
bilities and our recommendation is for a
penalty double. Your hand rates to produce
at least four tricks in defense and unless
partners hand is highly unbalanced, a
sure profit is in store if you play for the
penalty.

Brawner Forgery Trial
Due 10 Go 10 Jury Today

The forgery trial of French S.

fore the jury today in Alexandria
District Court after he finishes
testifying.
Brawner, 81, took the stand yes

Natural Gas Rate
Hearing Resumes

Cross-eXamination of Howard
B. Noyes, vice president of the
Washington Gas Light Co., was
to be resumed today before the
Federal Power Commission, cur
rently hearing arguments on a
proposed increase in wholesale
natural gas rates here.
The Atlantic Seaboard Corp,
which supplies Baltimore and
Washington, and the Virginia Gas
Transmission Corp. are seeking a
new rate schedule.
The Washington Gas Light Co,
which is opposing the petition,
contends the new rates would
mean an increase in it's gas costs
of SIS million in 1851 and So
million in 1852. Seaboard argues
that the increase to the Washing
ton utility would amount to only
100000 annually.
Mr.. NoyeS, on the witness stand
yesterday, was questioned in de-
tail by Seaboard attorneys re-
garding the gas light company's S
previously stated estimates of its
gas volume needs and its methods
of arriving at these estimates.
Seaboard attorneys also ques-
toned Mr.. Noyes at length, over
the objection of attorneys for the
local utility, on the gas light COM
pany's method of billing its Gus
toners. Attorneys for the whole
sale concern implied that Wash
ingGor Gas Light used one method
for computing the volume of gas
received and another for comput-
ing the volume consumed by loca.

|UCS Asked 10 Draft
Standards on Clinic
Care for Needy Here

United Community Services has
been asked to propose specific
standards to determine whether
needy persons are eligible for
clinic care at District expense in
private hospitals here.
The request was made by the
UCS Health Section yesterday at
conference called to gather sup
port for priority" items in the
District Health Departments
budget request for 1852.
DR.. P. A. E. Stebblng, Gallinger
Hospital superintendent and
spokesman for a conference COM
mittee of the section, said his
group feels the District is paying
for the clinic care Of many pa
tients without knowing how ex-
tensiVely they have been cleared
as to financial need.
Sc Per Clinic Visit.
The city pays hospitals 81 for
each such clinic visit certified to
the District, and officials said
these fees total about half of the
District funds appropriated for
INDECENT care.
At the same time, the group
urged that any funds collected
by the hospitals from clinic visits
be credited to the hospitals. All
such collections now go into the
Treasury's general fund. DR..
Stebbing pointed out that these
changes would require action by
Congress.
Hospital sources indicated that,
for the most part, no elaborate
screening systems have been set
up because of the small clinic
fees charged. But, If money COL
lected remained with the hos
pitfalls, one official said, the hos
pltals might feel differently.
Physical Defects Listed.
In urging support for a Health
Department request for 81 more
public health nurses, another
committee declared that steps
have been taken toward correc-
tion Of only one-third of 24,7O0
physical defects uncovered in
school children last year.
The defects ranged from hear
ing and eye troubles to orthopedic,
heart and nose and throat all
ments, reported Miss Charlotte
HaSselbusch of the Instructive
Visiting Nurses Society. She said
correction of many of the defects
cited depends on nurses visits to
homes to explain the ailments to
parents and advise them of IA
cilitieS for treatment.
MANY parents" she said, grow
used to these ailments in their
children or just don't know about
them. We feel there is a direct
connection between this and the
high rate of draft reflections we
hear about"
Health Center Endorsed.
The health section also indorsed
a campaign for a new Northwest
health center, more money for
maternal and child welfare serv-
ices to replace Federal funds. an
expanded public health education
program and support for CALM
gers home care program.
The sections recommendation
go to the UCS executive COM
mittee for action.
In luncheon address. Virginia
State Senator Charles R. Fenwick
advised the group to take the
city's needs directly to Congress.
A genuine citizen interest,"" if
adequately expressed, he said,
often is more likely to get a
sympathetic hearing than testi-
mony by Government officials
about their own needs.
