Take MyWord for 1t
By Frank Colby

American slang Is especially rich
in portmanteau coinage: "Swele-
CANT" from swell and elegant:
'grandificent" from grand and
magnificent: "gabacious" from
gabby and loquacious; "yellocution"
from yell and elocution, etc.
Carroll chose the term portman-
teau because type Of telescope
valise was called portmanteau. thus
suggesting q telescoped word. It is
interesting to note, however, that
portmanteau Is from the French
portemanteau, IAN officer who
carries the mantle Of the king"

the levels of the ground around,
the water will flood 3 million square
miles Of land.
That statement is alarming, but
the writer seems to forget several
factors. In the first place it is far
from likely that the bottoms Of all
the lakes win rise together. There
may be sinking of the bottom of one
or more lakes to offset rising In
others.
Also we must; remember that

Contract Bridge
BY Eosley Blockwood
washington, D. G.
FRIDAY, AUGUST 20, 1882


Here is my advice on what to
do when Mr.. FtlSty, the old-fash-
ioned bidder, opens with a three
bid. First. you must resign yourself
to the fact that the hand is going
to be played in his suit.

The bidding:
South West North East
3 Clubs Pass 5 Clubs Pass
6 Clubs All pass
You must forget your suit or
suits unless you have one which
outranks his and you are willing
to go all the way to a grand slam.
However. if you can play his suit;
raise him once with fair to good
hand. With powerhouse, give him
q double raise. In todayiS deal
Mr.. Dale forgot all about his two
major suits and raised Mr.. FuSty
to flve clubs. Six clubs became the
final contract.
Fortunately for himself (and his
partner) Mr.. Fusty'S play is better
than his bidding. He won the
opening lead of the queen of dia-
monds with the ace and paused to },
look the situation over.
The easy (and careless) way to
play the hand is to pick up the
trumps, then lead the ace and an
other spade, hoping that suit
breaks %. If it does, you are in.
II it doesn't, you are down one.
Mr.. Fusty didn't put all his de-
pendence on the spade suit break
ing evenly. At the second trick
he led to the ace of hearts. re-
turned heart and ruffed it. Then.
he cashed the ace and king of
clubs, led third heart and ruffed it.
He picked up the last outstanding
trump and led a spade to dummy'sl
ace. Since the hearts had broken
4-5. dummy's king and seven of
hearts were both good an pro-
vlded a parking place for two of
MIR. Fustys small spades.
Thus he won six clubs. two dia-
monds, three hearts and a spade.
Note that his line of play gave him
an additional chance for his con-
tract. In other words, if the hearts
had not broken 4-3, he still had
the spade play available.

VA Clarifies Education Pay
For Veterans Of Korea

The Veterans Administration
ruled today that Korean veterans
who are taking educational bene-
fits will be paid from the time
they entered classes.
It was explained that the law
states they are to be paid from
the time the schools were ap-
proved by State agencies. How
ever, in view Of the delays in
approvals, the VA has taken a
practical view of the matter.
When the approval finally comes
in, the veteran will receive retro
active pay from the time he started
