Take My Word for 1t
BY Fronk Colby

g. My dictionary lists same" as
m adjective, and gives no listing as
Q noun. Yet my boss repeatedly
dictates such sentences as, Twill you
kindly forward same? Same will be
appreciated" etc. What should
do about him?-M. B.
A. Ask him to read this little COL
umn. The College Handbook of
Composition (Wooiley & Scott)
stigmatizes same" as noun, with
this statement: a. a vulgarism
Characteristic of ill-educated writer's
and writer's without good taste. -
That ought to fix him!
Q. A sign near my bus stop
reads: DRIVE SLOW! Is this all
right, or should it be "slowly"?- "?-Sue.
A. Either is correct, for both
SLOW" and slowly" are adverbs.
However, for safety sign Drive
Slow" has more punch" In other
words, it seems more emphatic.
Slowly carries the added conno-
tation Of leisurely ambling around,
Us, I'VE strolled slowly down the
lane"
O.. Is it correct for my boss to
dictate, We're fixing to open a
new field"?-C. D.
A. No; this is dialeotal use,
which is rather more common in
the South than elsewhere in the
United States. Better: We're pre-
pairing Cor: getting ready to open a
new field.
Q. A girl In our Office consistent
y uses take" in what seems to
me the wrong way; she will say,
I'VE took and bought a new car:
we took and went to Galveston" /"
What about it?-M. L. C.
A. It's incorrect, for "take" in
these constructions is unnecessary.
Take" has a large number of
meanings, but certain usages. of
which your sentences furnish excel
lent examples, are illiterate and
dialectal.

The bidding:

Whenever, in the early rounds of
bidding, you bid any number of no
trump-that is one no trump, two
no trump or three no trump-you
are showing the full high card
values of your hand.
Later, if you bid four no trump
over your partners bid of four in
any, suit, that bid does not ask for
aces, It merely indicates that you
think four no, trump is the best final
contract.
Let's put 1t another way. When
your partner opens the bidding with
enc Of a suit, you don't know
whether he has about two and one
half honor tricks or five and one
half honor tricks.
His bid may be an absolute mini
mum or it may be just a queen short
Of an opening two bid.
Tells Whole Story.
However, if he opens with one no
trump, there is no such spread" of
values. You can figure his high
card values within very narrow
limits.
In fact, any bid of one, two or
three no trump, either as an open
ing bid or as a response, tells the
Ehole story Of the bidders hand.
With that information at hand,
u is the partner of the no trump
bidder who is in position to gauge
slam possibilities.
In today's deal Mr.. Dale opened
the bidding with one spade and re-
bid two spades over Miss Brash's
two diamond response
Logical Call.
When Miss Brash now bid three
clubs, he felt that his hand was
eighty over a minimum and made
the logical call of three no trump.
Still thinking about a slam, Miss
Srash bid four clubs. After some
thought, Mr.. Dale bid four no trump,
which ended the auction.
Miss Brash properly figured this
four no trump bid was not asking
for aces. Mr.. Dale had already
shown that he was not interested

In other words, when he bid three
no trump he must have been salts
ned to stay right there, because how
did he know his three no trump bid
would not be followed by three
passes? 4
