Of coins were dumped into Long

foroion coins sent to . New York

BY Fronk Colby

Philadelphia: How did the nick
name '1imey," for an Englishmar1
originate?-P. II. K.
Answer: In the days of sailing
ships, sailors often developed scurvy
because Of vitamin deficiencies in
their monotonous diets. TIL e
British government passed a law
making a daily ration of lime Juice
compulsory on all ships. Among
mariners British ships became
known as "limejuicers. Later,
British seamen were called "limeys, Z"
and in time "limey" became a nick
name for any Englishman, a soldier
or sailor especially.
Los Angles: What about the word
benedict" a married man?-Mrs

Benedick, the hero of Shakespeare'S

.unlovely sounding word haber-
daSher? Mrs, D, B.

Answer: One theory is that
haberdasher is from an Anglo
French word hapertas, the name of
a cloth sold at English notions shops
in the 18th century. Another
theory is that it is from the Ice
landic word hapurtask, "a KNAPP
sack" The word haberdasher is
obsolescent in American usage.
In England, a haberdashery is a
store where small wares are sold.
In America, the term was once
applied to mems furnishing stores.

With my natural inclination to-

bidding, yet, would not be quick
to take issue with it. 1t must be
conceded that North and South
had difficult hand to bid.
Take North's first response, for
example. What is his best call
when partner opens with one
spade? There is a very probable
game in the hand, yet response
of two no-trump is not acceptable
without a heart stopper The hand
is much too good for a single
spade raise and not the type for
a jump to three spades. The way
out of the dilemma was to postpone
the decision by making a tenn
porizing bid. Since South must
bid again when North names a
new suit, he chose to bid two
clubs, intending to make up his
mind later.
South, curiously enough, chose
to resort to exactly the same type
of strategy. North's highly accept
able response raised South'S blood
pressure to slam pitch and he
flashed the signal with jump in
new suit, the accepted method
for announcing immediate slam
intentions. From then on North
showed mere preferences and
South contracted for a slam in
spades.
The king of hearts was opened
and South ruffed the second lead
Of the suit. He extracted trumps,
cashed' his high-card tricks and
announced that he was conceding
a diamond trick to the opposition
because he found it inedible. North
may have been impressed with his
partners bon mot, but not with
his dummy technique. South COM
planned of Norths vigorous bio
ding with hand that contained
no ace and no distribution. North
properly pointed out that If his
partner had not held the North
hand in such contempt, he would
have fulfilled the contract by the
simple eXpedient of converting
North into the master hand.
We concur. Twelve tricks were
there if South had chosen to look
upon his own hand as the dummy.
After ruff1ng the second heart, de-
clarer enters North with a club
and rufus another heart with the
king of spades. Dummy is entered
again with the jack of spades and
the last heart ruffed with the ten
OF spades. The ace, of spades is now
cashed, and dummy is entered with
a diamond and the queen of spades
pulls Vests last trump, on which
South parts with the three of dfa-
monds. Now all of the North-South
cards are good.

Truman's S Optimism
On Chances for Peace
BewiIders Pentagon
BY John A. Giles

President Truman's statement
that the outlook has improved In
the cold war with Russia raised
bewilderment today on both Capt.
tol Hill and at the Pentagon.
While legislators commented
that apparently Mr.. Truman and
Defense Secretary johnson did not
see quite eye to eye on the inter-
national situation, high defense
officials say that the President
was attempting to Offset . speech
by Senator Tydings. Democrat. Of
Maryland, and that his remarks
were being interpreted as going
too far in the other direction.
Senator Tydings told the Rotary
Club here Wednesday that he
feared that O war might start
accidentally" with the Soviet
Union any minute.
Optimism Expressed.
Mr.. Truman told his news con-
ference yesterday that he thought
the Senator was unduly alarmed
II he said that. He said condi-
tions now are much better than
In 1946 and that he was optimistic
over hopes for peace.
Legislators who have lately been
asked for more defense funds and
extension Of standby draft legis-
lation, contraste6 this with the
statements Of Mr.. johnson and
Gen. Bradley. Joint Chiefs of Staff
chairman, that IAN accumulation
Of events" during the last six
months had made the situation
more tense.
The Presidents statement came
shortly after a rather reluctant
House Armed Services Committee
had approved a bill to extend the
draft for two more years and
there were mumblings on Capitol
Hill today that If Mr.. Truman is
right in his analysis Of the situa-
ton continuation of Selective
Service is not necessary.
Refers to Bradley.
But Chairman Vinson Of the
committee, who led the fight for
extension of the draft law. said
he was relying on what Gen.
Bradley and other members OF
the Joint Chiefs told U.s."
At the Pentagon one high ON
cial. who first appeared stunned
by the apparent cross-up in party
lines. had this explanation:
We'll, the President in attempt
ing to offset Senator Tydings'
speech In one direction, may have
gone a bit too far in the other
direction. It's like a pendulum"
Mr.. johnson, who appeared be-
fore both House and Senate Ap-
preparations Committees last week
in an appeal for more defense
money, principally for planes, out
lined the accumulation Of events"
which made his appearance nee
essary-the shooting down Of an
American plane in the Baltic, the
Trieste controversy, and so on.
That statement was approved
by Mr.. Truman before his defense
chief went to Capitol Hill.

To the man with a lot of barley

system of cleaning such grain has
been devised; no one is sure how

JUNEAU LUMBER COMPANY TO BEGIN HAVING TOMORROW

The Juneau Lumber Company will begin producing lumber to- morrow in its new plant which has prung up near the charred remains of the Juneau Spruce Corporation mill on South Franklin Street.
 Production will be 5O,0OO board feet per eight-hour shift, accord ing to B. c. Canoles, member ot the Juneau Lumber Company's board of directors.
 He said today that the compan las orders on hand from Western Alaska for it's product, and loca demand for the lumber is great.
 We expect at least Sl00,000 wortE of fish box business" Canoles said The manufacturing of fish boxes will utilize our low-grade lumber.
 The new plant will employ 35 nen per shift, and Canoles saic 1t least 8,OOO,0O0 board feet will probably be sawed this year, with two shifts working through the summer.
 The Juneau Lumber Company was formerly the Duck Creek Lum- Der Company Its name was changed when it purchased the property of the Juneau Spruce Corporation here January 27, five months after the spruce corporation mill burned in Juneau's worst fire of l949.
 Work began immediately on con- struction of a new mill building south of the charred remains of the spruce mill.
 The new building is not yet com- pleted, but work on it will continue while the mill produces lumber. J. R. Murphy, one of the company's board of directors and head of the production end of the business, said it will take about 30 days Of ironing out kinks in the new plant before full production can be reached.
 Lumber from the new plant will be used in construction of the Mendenhall Apartments, the l2- story building for which excavation work is now being done at Fourth and Franklin Streets, Canoles said
