Short River, Short Name

VERONA, Italy Up People
around here like to brag about their
record-breaking river They claim
it has the shortest name and runs
the shortest distance of any river
on earth.
It's the R River. From its origin
on Mt. BaldO to where it pours
into Lake Garda, it is only 525 feet
long.
But it does just about everything
river is supposed to do. There's
a bridge, waterfall, good fishing,
several irrigation canals, and a
couple of water mills. Once, back
in 1882, It even had flood and
destroyed several houses nearby.

During period of 81 years
Gandhi spent most of his time in
South Africa. Shortly after de-
Gliding to remain there. he made
a trip to India to get his wife and
children.
Gandhi soon came to be regarded
as the leader of Hindus and Mos
lens in South Africa. He led pa
rades which were meant to bring
about reforms. Before he left the
larea, great deal was done to
better the lot of his people.
One event during his stay in
South Africa took place while he
was walking along public street.
A Moslem from India was angered
because Gandhi stood for peaceful
progress instead of violent action
This Moslem struck the leader on
the head with a club, and came
close to killing him. The man was
iplaced under arrest. Gandhi later
was asked to bear witness against
him.
NO" replied Gandhi. 'I will
not swear out a complaint This
man will yet be my friend"
Although Gandhi was a member
of Hindu family, he had tried
hard to work for the good of Mos
lens as well as Hindus. There was
sharp feeling in India on the sub
ject of religion. but news Of this

Take My Word for 1t
By Fronk Colby

There are a number of words
with three or more syllables in
which "u" often is not pronounced
or is given a neutral sound, as
"AK-rit" for accurate, "MAN-yull'
for manual, "YOO-zhl," for usual,
etc.
In formal or public speaking,
such as broadcasting, lecturing
preaching, one should distinctly
pronounce the "u" as "yoo," and
make it a separate syllable, thus:
Accurate: AK-yoo-rit.
Annual: AN-yoo-ul.
Manufacture: M N-yoo-FAK-
cher.
Strenuous: STRENUOUS
Stimulate: STTM-yoo-late.
Usual: YOOZH-yoo-ull.
Vacuum: VAK-yoo-um.
Valuable: VAL-yoo- -uh-b'l.
Visual: VIZH-yoo-ul
On the other hand, one should
guard against the prevailing ten
dency to place an intrusive III"
sound in words in which it should
not occur. as, "sub-STAN- N-choo-ull"
for substantial. -yoo-ler" for
similar, "ee-SEN- -choo-ull' for es-
sential, "KOL-yum" for column,
etc.
"KOL-yum" for column, etc.
Better say:
Sub-STAN-sh1
SIM-i-ler
Eh-SEN-shT =,
KOL-um

who believed strongly in his ideas.
Among these was Pandit Nehru,
who became the chief leader after
the death of Gandhi. Nehru is now
Prime Minister in the republic of
India.
Gandhi wanted freedom for
India. but he preached the path Of
peace. He wanted to win this end
without bloodshed. Now that India
is a free member of the British
Commonwealth of Nations, there
are many who see wisdom in the
path he followed.

kindly leader spread far and wide
among the Moslems. In India, as
well as in South Africa, they &C
cepted him as a true friend.
Going back to India to live,
Gandhi became the honored leader
of more than 300 million Hindus
and Moslems. The custom grew of
calling him "Mahatma Gandhi, "
meaning Great Soul Gandhi.'
This was close to meaning Saint
Gandhi." The leader said that he
would rather go without such a
title, but people all over his coun-
try thought of him as a living
saint.

FRIDAY, MAY I6, 1852


Mr.. Abel had a good hand, enough
in high cards for takeout double
But Miss Brash had bid one of his

his partner to Did the probable two

Mrs. Keen did not like her one no
trump response with only single
ton spade, but she had to make
some bid on her cards. Miss
Brash's diamond rebid suited her
fine.
Mr.. Abel led a trump which was
taken on the board with the nine.
Dummy's lone spade was lead and
Mr.. Muzzy, who was watching the
hand, WINGED. "She's lost it." he
told another kibitzer in a loud
whisper. She should have come to
her ace of hearts, back to dummy
with trump and thrown her club
on the king of hearts"
Quiet Not so much talking
yelled Cof all people, Mr.. Champion.
incidentally, if Miss Brash had
followed Mr.. Muzzys plan. she never
would have made her contract. She
played the jack of spades from her
hand at trick two and Mr.. Abel won
with the queen and returned the
queen of hearts.
! Miss Brash won and ruffed a
spade. Now, finally, she got rid
of her club on the king of hearts.
She got back to her hand by ruff
f1ng a heart and ruffed another
spade in dummy.
This left Mr.. Abel with just one
spade, the ace. And Miss Brash
didn't make the mistake of trying
to ruff that out, too. She may
overbid her cards, but she doesn't
often "overplay" them. She was
trying to make five odd, not six.
She next led dummys last dia-
lnond and overlook it. She took
out Mr.. Champions last trump,
then conceded spade trick. The
rest of her hand consisted of a
trump and good spades.

Capable, middle-aged Florence
Kirby found it hard going when
she was looking for Q full-time job
some months ago. Her age was
the big factor against her, and the
situation was complicated by the
fact that although she had had q
series Of interesting jobs. her lack
of continuous experience in any
one field was a handicap. Friends
urged her to capitalize on her wide
background and talent for helping
people. and her business was born.
She describes her work as more
emergency work than anything
else" A telegram may arrive at
any time from some one asking
her to meet q train or plane on
short notice. Inconvenient hours
make no difference, either, and
she 9still has the gratitude Of a
mother whose children she met on

A native Washingtonian, she
knows the city well. When asked
for sightseeing suggestions. she
always puts in a word for a local
treasure she considers much neg
lected, the st. Gaudens statue in
Rock Creek Park Cemetery. She
knows the United States fairly
well, too, having driven from one
end to the other Of it. and has
travelled to Europe four times.
Visit to Mount Vernon
Miss Kirby remembers with
amusement the day she took q
South American to Mount Vernon.
'He spoke nothing but Spanish, !"
she reported, a fact Of which she
was not aware when she made
the aIrangements-but a fact
which certainly would not have
deferred her had she known it.
She had q friend explain the gold
horses at the Arlington Memorial
Bridge to him-she didn't think
he should miss the detailS-but
at Mount Vernon she was on her
own. Taking advantage of the
