low heeled shoes, because this
is an acre-large market and
you'll be covering lots of
territory.
Here are some tips before you
go. You'll find beautiful as
paragus at lower prices than
last weekend. New potatoes are
arriving from Florida and are
good buys. Cabbage and green
pepper are in the low-price
category now too. Strawberries
are coming in from North Car
Olina and are delicious. Rhu-
barb is another good buy,
nutritious too.
Meats, as you know, are high
priced. But there are many
'1ess-expensive" cuts available.
Harry Danoff, of Stand 342-
S44 suggests breast of lamb or
breast of veal. These require
more cooking artistry but hold
down the budget.
Or, there is an ample selec-
tion of fish at two complete
|seafo0d stands. For a change,
try cooking a type fish you've
never attempted before. Trying
new things, you know, lifts
cooking out of the hum drum
affair it may have become and
turns it into an adventure.
There's one thing you'll dis
cover. Your trip to Center
Market City is bound to inspire
new interest for both you and
your family. So visit us tomor-
row, won't you? The address
is: 5th and X SITS. NV, Wash
IingtOn, d. G. Don't forget
there's free parking at the *
Street filling station next to
the market. And use one of
the free shopping carts to
carry your bundles. They are
for your convenience.

I axe Ny Word for 1t
By Fronk Cobb,

egg; an onion; an empire; an honor
(the ''h" of honor is silent; the
word, therefore, begins with the
sound of the short vowel SOY; an
institution.
The same rules apply to initials;
a COD package; a CIO official;
"a OAR member; an owl dispatch;
an OPA directive; an FBI operator
Use "a" with these initials, since
they start with consonant sounds
IB, G, D, G, ], K, P, Q, T, U, V
wv (double-yoo), Y, z.
Use "an" with these initials, since
they start with vowel sounds: A
IE, r (eff), H (aitch), I, L (elD
M (em), N (en), o. r tahr), S (ess)
K (eks).
Many readers have the idea that
the indefinite article "a" should bt

Secretary's Handbook.

Omaha: In our Office we frequent
lily use the initials REA, RITA, MF
and so on in designating Rural
Electrification Administration, Rural
Telephone Administration, Main
Frame, etc. Some of the stenogra-
lphers think we should say "an
REA project, an ELSA classifica-
tion," for example, because the
consonant has a vowel sound. We
would appreciate your opinion.
Answer: "a" and IAN" are called
indefinite articles" The rules for
their use are:
/. Use "a" before words begin
ming with a consonant sound, as:
a man; horse; a union (the word
union begins with the sound of
the consonant "y'' thus: YOON-
yum; book.
2. Use "an'' before words begin

their peculiar, turret socket, each
capable of revolving in any direc-
ton. Each optic is located at the
tip of the cone, making it possible
to view its own forehead, nose and
other eye without undue strain.
Further, one eye keeps the ground
under observation while the other
surveys the upper strata. When
one eye catches sight of hapless
insect, worm or fly, the other eye
comes swiftly to the front with the
other. Then, the long tongue
flips out; it's sticky bulb captures
the victim, the jaws open, the
lizard dimes, all too swift for the
human eye to catch more than a
blur.
In Cape Town the mother ex-
cavates a pocket in the soft soil IN

Contract Bridge
By CuIbertson

Copyright. 1851, by Ely Culbertson.)
A question concerning fundamen-
tai theories Of bidding was involved
in today's deal: North dealer. Both
sides vulnerable. North-South 80
on score.
NORTH. -

This was the actual bidding:
North. East. South. West.
1heart 2clubs Dbl 2 d'm'nds
3hearts Pass Pass Dbl.
Pass Pass Pass
South thought for a long time
about bidding three spades as
rescue, but concluded that North
must know what he was doing, and
SO passed The three-heart contract
was beaten three tricks, 300 points.
North, defending his own bidding,
pointed out that he would have
been justified in opening with three
hearts; hence, he said, he had been
equally justified in reaching the
same contract after South showed
some strength by doubling two clubs.
It was simply unfortunate, North
observed, that South lacked even
a singleton heart and also lacked
o quick trick of any description.
This argument was conspicuously
lacking in logic! 1t is true that a
pre-emptive three-heart opening
would have been justified, and, in
deed, under the vulnerability condi-
tions and the state of the score,
that bid had much to recommend
It. But when North elected to open
with one heart, the picture changed
radically with the next two calls:
East's two-club bid and South's
double.
Aside from the fact that North's
king lost value because of East's
bid, South's double carried the
strongest possible warning about the
heart suit! At a 30-score, South
would not be so prompt to double
the enemy if his own sides game
prospects were good; he would pre-
fer to show a suit of his own, or
raise hearts if he could, or simply
pass to await further developments.
Thus, the two-club double bore
every mark of a warning double
based on fear of a heart rebid, and
North should have accepted the
warning.

is the first letter of the alphabet;
em-ay-en (m-a-n) spells man."
But the indefinite article "a" is
not regarded as a letter, it is a
word. It is correct, then, to pro-
nounce it with the abscured vowel
sound thus: uh. We should not say
"ay man, ay house, ay woman. Z
