Take Nv Word for 1t >, F'e't Cobb,

Pittsburgh: My office dictionary
lis not quite so wordy as two ex-
sailors who work beside me. They
call all Office rumor "scuttle butt. "
Why, may I ask you?-Marie.
Answer: In Navy jargon, scuttle
butt refers to information picked
Iup at the ships drinking fountain
and is therefore considered as
wild rumor."
Scuttle butt was at one time the
name of the fountain itself. 1t
Twas customarily a round painted
lcask, or butt, containing enough
water for a days use. Often the
removable head, or lid, displayed
a circular shelf which held the
drinking cups.
The English scuttle originated in
1.-THE Spanish word escotilla, "a hole
in the hatch of q ship, or the hatch
itself" The scuttle originally was
a square hole cut In the deck OF
a ship, was large enough for the
body of q sailor to pass through,
and had a covering. The word was
also used to name the windows, or
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1952-02-16

holes, cut in the sides OF cabins
to let in light.
From the meaning Of cutting q
hole in q ships side," scuttle came
Ito mean Ito sink q ship by cutting
holes in its bottom"
Your word, rumor, comes from
the Latin rumor, "a buzzing noise.
Hence, the slang Whats buzzin'
cousin?" is not so far-fetched after
all.
But far be it from sailors to call
anything gossip" Gossips at one
time referred to intimate female
cronies who exchanged condolences.
The Middle English word was god
sib God plus sib. "a kin or rela-
tion," hence: relationship between
a godchild and his godparents'o
Later. the word became gossip, then
gossip, meaning "god-relation."
Our present-day meaning of gos-
sip, ito tattle; to talk critically
about an absent person." is just
one step away from Condolences
exchanged between intimates."

Under this plan there finally
comes q time when it is Mr.. Muzzy's
turn to be on the team. This year
the team is made up of Mr.. Cham
pion paired with Mrs. Keen. and
Mr.. Dale paired with Mr.. Muzzy.
Mr.. Champion insists that Mr.
Dale play with Mr.. Muzzy for the
solid reason that he is, the only
player in the club who will not be
driven stark mad by Mr.. Muzzy's
type of game.
In preparation for the important
match, the team is holding a prac-
tice session and this is hand from
that session.

Responding to his partners over
call, Mr.. Muzzy got OF to a heart
lead-the deuce.
Mr.. Dale won with the ace and
returned the ten. Here Mr.. Cham.I
pion made one of his typically
brilliant plays. He went up with
the king.
There was good reasoning back
OF this play. The right lead from

The right lead from a holding Of
three to an honor is the lowest. So.
In this case Mr.. Champion figured

play OF the king was a sure thing
He had to knock out the ace of

would block the suit.
However, when Mr.. Dale was in
with the ace of clubs he calmly

The Diplomatic List of June
1927 boasted 80 pages including
the alphabetical index of coun-
tries and the alphabetical index
of diplomats. This index of
diplomats was particularly help
full in finding one with a Span

through the list of each of the
20 Latin American countries as
we'll as Spain.
In June 1927 Baron de Car

the corps and the present Am
bassador, now Baron Silver
cruys, then Mr.. Robert Silver

India Edwards Urged
For Vice Presidency
Mrs. Norton, Former Representative,
Says It's Time to Elect Woman Veep
By lsobelIe Shelton

"A woman for Vice President.
India Edwards our candidate"
That is the slogan of the
National Executive Committee
of Democratic Women for In
dia Edwards. formed last week
to get the second spot on the
Democratic ticket for the astute
vice chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee.
1--WE mean it, too," says Mrs.
Mary Norton. longtime and
much loved member of Con-
gress from New Jersey, now a
woman-power consultant to the
Secretary of Labor who heads
the new committee of Demo-
cratic women.
In her cool. breezy apartment
at the Kennedy Warren, over
looking Rock Creek Park. Mrs.
Norton discussed what her group
had in mind and was trying
to do.
1--WE believe the time has come
to nominate a woman for Vice
President" she declared. There
are a million more women ELI
gible to vote than there are men,
and we think the time has ar
rived when women Of proved
ability should compete with men
for public Office.
Mrs. Edwards has much abil-
ity, the highest type of integ-
rity, and the confidence of Dem
ocratic men and women every
where. She has been instru-
mental in focusing attention on
the contribution of women to
party politics and has continu-
ally urged the President to ap-
point more qualified women to
positions in Government. She
is we'll known and greatly re-
spected for her many fine quail
ties, and for her organizing
ability.
I'VE believe she is entitled to
our support and would prove to
be a candidate who would help
to strengthen our objectives of
peace in the world and victory
to the Democratic Party"
Mrs. Norton said she person.
ally had met Mrs. Edwards
shortly after the latter joined
the Democratic Committee as a
volunteer worker in 1914, and
was greatly impressed with her
ability.
Common Sense
"She has an extraordinary
amount of what I call common
sense" the former Congress-
woman said. "She is a good
judge of people-of character"
The idea to launch the Ed
wards vice-presidential boomlet
actually was born at a four-hour
luncheon in New York about 10
days ago, Mrs. Norton said.
Present were Mrs. Norton and
Mrs. Julia L. Crews. vice chair
man Of the Westchester County

The subject under discussion
was what to do to get women
more prominent spots in Gov

The establishment of another
embassy to the already long list
of diplomatic missions in Wash
ington stirs some reminiscing of
the past.
Seventy-five missions are
listed in the State Departments

book which is issued monthly.
Now that an ambassador has
come from Wet Nam there will
be 76, with only Is of them lega-
tions. Time was when the pro-
portion was reversed and lega-
tions predominated.
The Wet Nam ambassador
designate, Mr.. Tran Van Kha,
arrived a week ago and has
established quarters in the
Shoreham Hotel where his wife.
son, Mr.. Henri Trans Van Kha,
and school girl daughter.
Suzanne, are with him. The
younger Mr.. Tran Van Kha acts
as interpreter for his father as
neither the ambassador -desig-
nate nor his wife speak more
than a few words of English.
Wet Nam is one of the three
Associated States of France and
the ambassador designate was
presented with the Chevalier of
the Legion of Honor last week.
The French minister of state
for the Associated States, Mr..
Letourneau, made the presenta-
ton. A like award from the
Legion of Honor also was given
the newly-appointed Cambodian
ambassador, Mr.. Nong Kimny,
who has represented his country
here as minister for almost a
year. The third of the Associ-
ated States, Laos, has yet to
