HINTS TO
HOMEMAKERS
TELEPHONE TACT

To invite your friends to any
informal get-together, just use
the phone. Here are some tips
to give you a reputation for tele-
phone tact, whether you're on
the sending" or receiving end
of call.
When you answer the phone at
home say "hello," rather than
"The Jones residence" or Gen.
trail 0087."
Talk softly, yet loudly enough
to be heard distinctly. Avoid
phoning at meal hours, early in
the morning and late at night.
When you make a call, give the
other person time to answer. The
telephone company suggests
waiting for 10 rings.
If you have more than a short
message to give, ask do you
have time to chat a while?" If

AS the narrative goes, Jeff was

whopper, twice as big as the one
on the hook, leaped up to see

When roast meats are cooked
in slow oven and to exactly the
right degree of doneness, they
are at their best in flavor and
tenderness. However, it is almost
impossible to guess when a roast
reaches the desired stage. The
only accurate way is to use a
roast meat thermometer special

erature at the center of the meat.
A new thermometer made entire

Pronunciation Clinic,


Will you please discuss the name
Brahman as applied to a breed
cattle in the United States cattle
country? Are they the same as the
famous Texas longhorns?-F. T.
A. I think you've been reading too
much Western fiction. Texas long
horns have been extinct for many
a long year. They were plentiful
on the ranges of the Great Plains
in the early part Of the last CEN
tury; but they are never seen any
more except as an occasional
curiosity in a stock show or rodeo.
The Brahman breed is actually
the zebu, pronounced ZEE-byoo,
whose genus name is Bos indicus.
It's native habitat is India, China,
the East Indies and East Africa.
1t is noted for a characteristic large
hump over the shoulders, and very
large dewlap, especially in the
males. The breed is also frequently
spoken OF as the sacred cow OF
India.
A number of years ago Brahman
cattle were introduced into the
Southwestern United States and
Brazil for breeding with
domestic cattle to produce a strain
of hybrids that are not only resist
ant to ticks and other blood sucking
insects, but which also are largely
immune to Texas fever. Zebus, or
Brahmans, are generally crossed
with. Herefords, the short-horned,
white-faced cattle that have prac-
tically replaced all other breeds of
beef cattle.
The cattle take their name from
the Brahmans, the highest or
prieStly caste of the Hindus, who

These valves are equipped with a
row of tiny sharp teeth that rasp
the wood, rather than chew it. The
worker makes his way through the
wood through a process more like
filing. To accomplish his end, he
merely rocks his head back and
forth, the teeth reducing the wood
to sawdust which he swallows.
He is an excellent Judge of wood
too. Never once does he digress
from the grain to come up against
a knot or does he break through
the paper thin partition separating
him from fellow worker.

The word Brahman is pro-

The name Hereford is usually
pronounced "HEHR-uh-ferd" by

citation never occurs among cattle
men and farmers. The standard

some of the later dictionaries now

American pronunciation.
| @. Will you please discuss the
origins of the words carton and
cartoon?-R. w.
A. The words are very much akin;
both are from the French carton,
from the italian cartone, from the
Latin charta. paper"
A carton, in today's English is a
box. usually Of cardboard, for ship
ping or storing, as, carton of
cigarette.
The word carton, originally, was
a sheet of paper on which a design
or picture was traced or drawn so
it could be transferred or copied.
In designing a mural, for example,
one worked out the design on paper,
and then copied or transferred the
drawing to the wall to be painted.
Today, of course, a cartoon is a
comic, satirical or political drawing.
A series of cartoons telling a story
is usually referred to as a comic
strip, although very few are comic
anymore-they deal mostly with
adventure, crime and bloodshed.
Carton is pronounced: KAHR-t,n.
Cartoon is: kahr-TOON.-

Animated augurs, known as ship
worms, carry on their nefarious
labors day and night. They destroy
timbers in wooden ships, their gal
leries weakening the wood so that
it finally crushes in.
From the moment this drill steps
out of his pinhead size egg, he is
destructive. Since he is out of sight
and his augur makes not the
slightest noise, he is able to 60 on

Scientifically, the industrious
driller is bivalve mollusk on the

saken the traditions of his tribe to
resort to creating long narrow gal

used as food, though in order to
keep his path clear he swallows it.

travellers is destroyed efficiently and
expertly. The damage is accom-
plished when it Is too late to do
anything about 1t.
Ship builders, have outwitted
these foes by using steel. They
also treat all wood in contact with
water with heavy coat of cresote.
This concoction gives the ship worm
stomach ache and indigestion and
is only effective when freshly ap-
piled.
There is only one thing ever
spoken in favor Of the ship worm.
They eagerly demolish sunken TIM
bers and other wood that other
wise would become a dangerous
nuisance In harbors.

Opening lead, ten of spades.
When the bidding is loose, the
play must be sharp If the specu-
lative performer is to avoid Pc
riod of hard times. The hand
shown today was dealt during the
holiday season, as may have be-
come apparent from the festive
character of North's bidding. It
Is not my purpose to linger over
North's bidding indiscretion, but
rather to laud the manner in
which South brought in the con-
tract which had been unsoundly
thrust upon him. That he was
aided and abetted by Vests
indiscreet double does not in the
least detract from the praiseworthi-
ness Of his effort.
The ten of spades was opened and
It seemed apparent to declarer that
If West did not hold both out
standing hearts, he must have
doubled on the expectation of win
ming q diamond trick, and CAM
paign must be outlined which
would avoid the diamond finesse.
This could be accomplished only by
q throw-in play and which South
proceeded to plot at once.
The ace and king of spades were
cashed, South discarding the eight
of clubs; a spade was ruffed in the
closed hand. Then followed the ace
of clubs and the remaining club was
ruffed in dummy. The jack of spades
was then led and ruffed by the de-
clarer. AL was serene as spades
broke in friendly manner, and the
black suits were completely stripped.
The stage was now set for the big
moment as South exited with a
trump, saddling West with the lead.
He could lead club, which would
permit declarer to discard the losing
diamond from dummy as he ruffed
in his own hand. Or he could lead
q diamond. He quite properly
selected the latter in the forlorn
hope that East held the queen of
diamonds.
1t will be observed that West
could have defeated the contract
by the opening lead of the ace of
trumps, for he could then have
exited gracefully with a spade or
q club. And analysis will show
that it is the proper defense. That
East can produce a trick is too
remote a contingency to be con-
sidered. That the setting trick
will be the king of diamonds is a
reasonable assumption, and in
order to realize its trick-taking
power, West must play the wait
ing game. A forced lead late in
the play might prove embarrass-
ing. If West cashed the ace of
hearts and "got out" he could
sit back and wait patiently for his
king of diamonds.
