Bruce Allison has come across
numerous "lunchers"-persons who
carry their own lunch into an eat

So he wasn't too surprised when
two women sat down in a booth
and unwrapped lunches.
But a short time later, Allison
noticed steam coming from the

We have reason to believe that
the first maps were made many
thousands of years ago, by peo-
pie who lived in Europe or Asia
during the Stone Age.
American Indians knew how to
make crude maps. These were
sketches which they painted. or
otherwise marked, on the hides
of animals, birch bark and other
substances. The sketches showed
hills, mountains, rivers and trails
of one district or another. BY
making them, the Indians helped
to guide fur traders and other
white men in early days.
Maps Of a somewhat better
kind were made in ancient Egypt
and elsewhere. Outlines Of the
Nile Valley were drawn.
A sketch called "the earliest
known map" was made on clay
by some one who lived in Baby
lonia about 4.300 years ago. The
clay tablet still exists, but has
been damaged. We have trouble
telling just what the map was

Take Nv Word for 1t syF,o"t Colby

Much has been said and writ
ten about the dangers Of pleo-
nastic phrases using too
many words. Pleonasm is q
Greek word. pronounced: PLEE-
uh-NAz-'m. and means "too
muchness."
Little has been said about the
use Of pleonasms which are ac-
ceptable because centuries Of ira
dition have made them an in
tegral and perfectly proper part
Of our language.
An attorney brought this ques-
ton to mind when he asked for
the reason for such redundant
expressions in English as laid
and abet; act and deed; law and
order; love and cherish; ways
and means: lord and master; ac-
knowledge and confess; last will
and testament; any shape or
FORM" Legal language. he OBJ
served. abounds in such phrases.
Evening star., 1953-03-02

These phrases have q curious
and ancient origin. After the
Norman conquest, in 1866. VIII
liam the Conqueror abolished
Anglo-Saxon. In the schools the
children studied Norman French,
the language Of the court and Of
society, and all laws were framed
In that language. The mass Of
natives, however. clung doggedly
to their own speech-English-
even though it was looked upon
as barbaric and obscene tongue.
and they refused to learn the
language of their masters.
Thus, the laws and legal IN
Struments were unintelligible to
the conquered English. Gradual
ly the practice prevailed of join
ing two words, one native, claw"
(Anglo- Saxon lagu), the other
French, order" (ordre).
Such word pairs have survived
by the scores.

One reason was found in the
shadow on the moon during a
partial eclipse. The thinkers said
that this shadow must be cast
when the earth blocked the sun
shine. Since they saw a curved
shadow, they said that the earth
must be curved.
Several Greek teachers put
forward that idea, and some Of
their students believed them to
be right. It would be a mistake,
however. to suppose that all Of
the ancient world was converted
to the idea of q round earth.
The fact was far from that.
Some learned men believed the
earth to be round, but everyday
people believed what they saw
an earth which looked fiat, ex-
cept for hills, valleys. mountains
and so on.

The bidding:

Pass
BY crossing his level" I mean
making a bid Of two in a suit
which is higher in rank than
partners suit. If partner has
opened a minimum and had
planned simply to rebid his orig
inal suit at the two level, he is
now forced to come in at the
three range.
This may be disastrous-un-
less, of course, he has a really
fine hand. But in that case, he
would rebid anyway - even
though you had passed on the
first round.
Take today's hand. for exam
pie. To many, Mr.. Dale's pass
after the spade overcall is some
what on the sensational side.
But it was a correct call and
based on the following reason
ing. If Mr.. Abel had a mini
mum opening. he probably
planned to rebid two clubs or
one no-trump over any bid Of
one In a suit by Mr.. Dale.
But the one-spade overcall up
set the normal" course of the
bidding. Mr.. Dale could no
longer make a bid Of one in a
suit. And if he bid his own suit.
hearts. at the two level, Mr..
Abel would have to rebid three
clubs or two no-trump.
Having opened the bidding
first hand, Mr.. Abel was obli-
gated to keep the bidding open
over any call from his partner
except one no-trump or a single
raise in clubs. Suppose he elected
to bid two no-trump over a two
heart call from Mr.. Dale. Since
he had to bid something, Mr..
Dale would not know whether
that bid showed additional val
ues or whether it was made in
desperation.
Mr.. Abel's level for a minimum
rebid was two clubs. Mr.. Dale
refused to cross that level. He
passed-and by doing so lost the
tremendous sum of 80 points
when Mr.. Champion took exactly
seven tricks. Contracts of three
no-trump or four hearts or four
clubs on the North South cards
would have been murdered.
To cross partners level you
need a good opening bid in your
own hand or a solid suit of your
own or a good fit in partners
suit.
