The traditional American pro-

During World War II the British

Some ID" Words to Watch.

Dour, a Scottish word from the
Latin durus, hard; rough; strong;
obstinate" is an adjective meaning
"sour or sullen; stern; severe; in
flexible"
Until recently the dictionaries
recognized only one pronunciation
for dour, rhyming it with boor,
moor, spoor. That pronunciation ap-
pears to prevail in England and
Scotland.
In Standard American speech,
however, the word dour rhymes
with flour, hour, scour, as if it were
spelled "dowr."
The dowr pronunciation now ap-
pears in most of the late-edition
dictionaries. 1t should be given the
first-choice listing.

A sure trick may be sacrificed at
the card table for a number of rea-
sons. The sacrifice of trick for
the sake of security is not at all
uncommon. In fact, it is the basis
of most safety plays. Again a trick
may be sacrificed to kill the enemy's
entry to a long suit, as where
a defender willingly places upon the
altar the king of suit in which
he could surely take trick, only
for the purpose of driving out an
ace early in the play. There are
other reasons. But the occasion
when a declarer deliberately sacri-
fices a trick for the sake of camou-
flage is much more rarity.
South became declarer at a con-
tract of three no-trump. His rebld
of two no-trump without sure
heart stopper was somewhat irregu-
lar, but what other bid was avail
able to him? 1t is just one OF those
hands that does not fall into dis
tinct category and that bid should
be chosen which most nearly de-
scribes the character of the hand
and is subject to the least objection.
So little as the ten of hearts in
dummy will stop the suit, and, since
no better bid suggests itself, two no
trump is probably the appropriate
procedure.
The five of spades was opened
and East put up the ten. Declarer
paused for moment to survey the
situation. If the club finesse sue
ceeded there were tricks to burn.
But if it failed, West, in spite of
any holding he might have, would
be compelled to shift to the wide
open heart suit, since he would
realize the futility of continuing the
attack in spades in which the de-
clarer held three shoppers. In order
to provide West with an inducement
to continue the suit he had opened.
declarer won with the king instead
of the jack. This play naturally
made it appear that East held the
jack, and, when the club fineSSe
failed, West, reading his partner
for the jack of spades, and trusting
to the king of hearts for a reason
ably quick entry, continued the suit
he had opened. Declarer won with
the jack and ran off IL tricks. So
that the trick he had offered up as
sacrifice came right back to him,
with interest.
