@. I know in a general way what
a "proofreader" is, but to me "proof"
implies evidence, as in proving the
guilt or innocence of an accused
person. VIII you please clarity?
A. The primary and literal mean
ing Of the word proof" is "a test
ing" from the Latin probare, ito
try, test; examine"
In printing, a proof is an impress
sion taken from the type before it
Is locked in the form for printing.
The proof usually is scanned by the
proofreader who marks for correc-
tion any typographical or other err
rors. The proof is then handed to
the printer who uses 1t as a guide
In correcting the type.
For a similar reason, the photog-
rapher furnishes you with proofs of
your pictures SO that you may select
the pose which pleases you.
And this use of proof is exactly
what is meant by the adage, THE
exception proves the rule" The old
saw doesn't mean that the excep-
tion certifies the infallibility of the
rule: its literal meaning Is expressed
thus: The exception tests the infal-
libility Of the rule.
Despite careful proofreading, er-
rors have an incanny knack Of
remaining invisible until the presses
begin TO roll, as authors and editors

amused, but sometimes they grew
excited, when a wrong Judgment
seemed to be made against their
favorite fighters.
Some little distance outside the
city limits, but within sight of the
people, was the cone of a volcano.
Old Mount Vesuvius was supposed
to have been dead" for hundreds
Of years, perhaps thousands. Grass
and trees grew in the crater.
Few persons feared the volcano,
but strange things had happened.
Years before an earthquake had
shaken down some Of the build
ings in Pompeii, and other trem-
blings of the ground had followed.
Could Vesuvius have had anything
to do with all that?
On a summer day, during the
year 10. the volcano exploded. A
huge black cloud rose over the
cone, blotting out a section Of the
sky. It was a terrible eruption, but
at first the people had little idea
of what was happening. The cloud
became blacker. Those who watched
it were in fear, and their fear grew
when there came q patter, as Of hail.
Instead Of being icy, the pellets were
pumice stones!

Not long ago I gave q talk to a

Judging by some of the questions,
it would seem that there was spe-

One woman said she had supposed
that Pompeii was covered by lava.
The fact is that it was covered by
showers of ashes.
Going back 1875 years, we find
Pompeii in the full blossom of its
life. 1t was hardly large place

But look continued Mrs. Rhule.
Il had enough for an opening bid.
Why didn't you open the bid

Il couldn't, Mrs. Keen had already
opened it."
Precisely my point" snapped Mr..
Champion. you had an opening
bid all right, but you had a lousy
overcall when they had shown
strength and had shown nothing"
The result seemed to bear out Mr..
Champions criticism. The eight of
spades was opened and Mr.. Dale
won with the king. He switched
to his singleton heart. Mrs. Keen
took the ace and returned a heart
which Mr.. Dale ruffed with the
deuce of clubs.
Now the old master cashed the
ace OF spades, then the king of
diamonds and followed with another
diamond. Mrs. Keen won with the
jack and ace and shifted to a heart.
This Mr.. Dale ruffed with the queen
Of clubs.
Mrs. Rhule overruffed with the
ace OF clubs and led back a small
club. Mrs. Keen won with the
eight and got out of the lead with
another heart. She then held the
king-ten of clubs over Mrs. Rhule,s
!ack-nine for two more sure tricks

Text Of Gov. Stevenson's Address q
Nashville, Tenn. Page Al

torium climaxes the series of three
appearances before Southern audi
ences in the last two days. 1t was
the one that hit closest to the main
reason for the unprecedented
Democratic campaign tour-the
concern that the Southern revolt is
reaching serious proportions.
In his earlier speeches at New
Orleans, Miami and Tampa, Gov
Stevenson stuck close to the eco
nomic theme, arguing that the
South's new prosperity was at
stake in the coming election. At
Nashville, he set out to demolish
the argument that the economic
theme has lost its influence in the
Democratic Party and in Congress
Scornfully, the candidate called
on his audience to reject the
leadership of ''those embittered
|apostates who proclaim themselves
Democrats while supporting the
nominees Of the Republican
Party"
The turn to this semi -Repub-
licanism, he said, "is now urged
upon you by Southerners who
obviously lack the courage of
their imported convictions. I say
lit can only lead to the political
emasculation of a region which
has played a tremendous role in
shaping American policy from the
dawning days of this Nation"
The Governor made the point
early in his speech that there is
room for division within the party
ranks.
On minority rights, he argued
that the difference within the
party ''is no more than disagree
