Recently a reader sent me a
letter saying that he had under
stood that Greece was the first
home of the alphabet.
So far as the name alphabet"
goes, it is true that it came from
two ancient Greek letters, alpha"
and "beta." These were combined
to make "alphabeta" or alpha
bet"
| Scholars have learned, however,
that the idea of an alphabet sprang
up long before the Greeks did
any of their writing. The Greeks
may have learned about it from
the Phoenicians, from the people
of the island of Crete, or from
Asia Minor
Going back still further, we find
the framework of the alphabet
growing up in other lands. The
Egyptians seem to have been the
pioneers in creating the alphabet
idea.
AS I said, both the Egyptians
and the Sumerians of the Babylo-
nian area started out with picture
words. The Babylonians learned
to write many words with sound
signs, but they failed to develop
an alphabet.
In Egypt, on the other hand,
the early picture writing gave way
to q system In which rough pic

present alphabet came from Egypt,
even allowing for changes along
the way. Many nations played a
part in building up our present
alphabet, including the ancient
Romans.
/ Long before the Romans did
their work on the alphabet, the
Semites OF Asia Minor helped to
form it. There was, for example,
the Semitic word ''aleph" which
turned into the Greek alpha"
and which is now our letter "A"
In the same way the Semitic
beth" turned into the Greek beta"
and finally into our B"

Miss BraSh found better way
q method not based on luck or
second sight, but on scientific count
Ing OF the opponents hands.
First Clue.
Mr.. Abel led the five of clubs.
Here was the first chance to pick
up valuable information If Mr.
Abel had held both king and queen
of clubs, he would have led the
king, not the five spot Therefore
Mr.. New must have at least one of
those cards.
Miss Brash won the first trick
with dummy's ace of clubs and led
q spade of her king Mr.. Abel won
with the ace and played the king of
clubs which Miss Brash ruffed.
She took another round of trumps
and both opponents followed suit
Now she led to the ace of diamonds.
returned dummy's last club and
ruffed it. She watched Mr.. News
play to this last trick very care
fully.
Didn't Fool Her.
He might have fooled her by play
Ing the queen. but he didn't think
of that When he played low, Miss
Brash knew she had the queen left
for the reason explained above.
Next came diamond to the king
and another diamond to be ruffed
in the closed hand. On the third
diamond. Mr. Abel showed out so
that it was certain Mr.. New had
started with six diamonds.
Six diamonds, two spades and at
least four clubs mean that Mr.. New
had one heart at the most. Now If
the heart were small one there
was no hope for the contract. But
If it were the queen or ten, every
thing was all right.
Accordingly, Miss Brash laid down
the ace of hearts from her hand and
when Mr.. New played the ten she
followed with the nine spot and let
1t ride, certain that it would be a
winner. After that trick. the bal
ance Of dummy's cards were good.

Anselmo Krigger, brilliant NIT

away quietly almost unnoticed
by the Hub headlines last week.
They were both well-known in

host of wide acquaintance and
friends.
Krigger an athlete in his own

varied career. In addition to his
profession in which he held good
jobs, Krigger was also a sports

Krigger could do just about any
thing he made up his mind to do
and he was exceptionally well
versed in an amazing variety Of
subjects. Few Bostonians ex-
ceeded him as a colorful and
