Tacoma: Recently, in pointing out
a mistake in newspaper item, you
said that is was pretty inaccurate
reporting" Were you not in error
in using the adjective pretty" in
this sense?-C. v.
Answer: Well, of course, we are
accustomed to associating the ad-
jective pretty with anything that is
attractive, pleasing or having a de-
gree of beauty. However, as I used
the word, it was not an adjective
but an adverb having the meaning
of considerably, very or rather
and that usage has long been estab
lished in English literature. Ac.
cording to Webster's, for example
it is correct to speak of pretty colo
weather, or to say that one is pretty
sure of his facts, and SO on.

Corpus Christi: Why do we have
so many words in English which
have letters that are not pro-
nounced: For instance, the ok" in
knee, the "b' at the end of bomb,
comb, the ''gh" in bough, etc.?-T. M.
A. English words which begin
with KIN are from Anglo-Saxon,
German or Dutch, and in those
languages the ok" is pronounced
But in English the 'k" sound dis
appears, even though the 'kp is
retained in the spelling.
There are many other such cases

Even if Vests two four card suits
had not been bid to his right and
left, he probably would have opened
his top, heart on the theory that
If he couldn't "hit" partner with a
better hand than West held, there
was no hope of beating the con-
tract. After the diamond and club
bids by South and North, the
opening lead choice seemed to lie
clearly between spades and hearts,
and lead from the spade queen
was not attractive, so West opened
the heart eight.
Declarer played the heart ten
from dummy, and, when East COW
cred with the queen, declarer took
in the trick, perhaps feeling that
with the J-f1ve of hearts still in
dummy, he could win a second trick
In the suit. Things did not work
out that way, however. When South
knocked out the diamond ACHE
couldn't even hope for nine tricks
without doing so-West continued
with his heart seven, and East
ran off four heart tricks to defeat
the contract.
Apparently, South did not pay
much attention to the precise heart
which West opened. The moment
East could cover the heart ten
with a higher card, South could
tell that the eight was not fourth
highest lead. If it had been, Vests
suit would have to be K-Q-9-8,
with or without lower cards. Thus,
the lead was almost certainly the
"top of nothing" and there was a
strong probability that East had
the long heart suit.
Acting on this logical reading,
South should have let East hold
the first trick with the heart queen.
If he returned a heart from his
marked king, South would of course
duck again and win in dummy, and
If East returned any other suit,
South would have ample time to
clear his diamonds while keeping
control of hearts. n

MonarChs Short OF London-Game
Form but Still Whip Hilliard, 6O-49

Although they fell short of the
form displayed against London
last week, Marysville high school
was still good enough to turn in
60-49 victory over billiards high,
Tuesday evening. 1t was the Mon
archs fifth straight Mid-Six victory
and gives them a season record of
10 wins and three losses.
The Marysville Reserves Jared
better in the preliminary than they
did last week as they spilled the
billiards seconds, 47-31.
From the very start OF the game,
there was not much doubt as to
the final outcome. The small size
of the billiards floor made it more
difficult for the Monarchs to ma
neuver than their home grounds,
but ball handling and passing un-
der the basket was still sharp
enough to give Warren Widner'S S
lads all the supremacy they need
ed.
In addition to outplaying Hill
ards on the floor, the Monarchs
controlled rebounds at both bank
boards, to keep possession of the
ball most of the time.
