no simple affair for Sherrylyn

She put a finger in a steel

Her parents called police who
tried for half an hour to loosen
the finger with grease. Next
came a plumber who got the cap
off the tub after Is minutes, but
it still was on the girls finger.

Word to the Wise By Mrs. Frank Colby

or rule, while the class, in its
timid treble, would go through
the Latinized routine, ending
with land per Sc and" (& stands
for "and"). In the childish
singsong of the recitation, land
per Sc and" always came out
"am-per-sand."
It was thus that innocent
youngsters were awakened to the
alluring beauties of England,
thus their uncertain and reluc-
tant steps were gently guided
into the path of humane learn
ing!
@. We want to name our
daughter Rosemary. Are we
correct in believing that the
name means "rose of the Virgin
Mary"?-Mrs. D. w.
A. This is the common sup
position. However, the name is
from rosemary, the flower. which
is a corruption of the Latin
rosmarinus, "dew of the sea"
Rosmarinus entered old French
as rosmarin, which entered mid
die English as rosmarin, changed
to rosmaryn, and finally lost
the final "n," to become "rose-
mary" However, the rosemary
has long been the symbol of
faithfulness. Shakespeare wrote,
There's rosemary, that's for
remembrance"

@. Has the character "&" a
name?-J. G. D.
A. 1t is called "ampersand, "
pronounced AM-per-sand. Here
is how it got its curious name:
The character "&" evolved as
a sort of monogram or sign of
the word ct, meaning "an." It
was once considered as the last
letter of the alphabet, as a.. x.
Y, z, g."
In olden days. now fortunately
past, toddlers on beginning school
were set to studying Latin Is and
6 year oldsD. Even in learn
ing the English alphabet they
were required to repeat the let
ters in unison, thus: "A per Sc A,
B per Sc B, c per Sc c." etc. (Per
Sc is Latin for "by or of itself" t"
Hence, "A per Sc A" was the
method of impressing infant
minds with the fact that "A
stands for A!")
So, the schoolmaster, stern,
scowling and Grabbed, would
beat time with his dreaded stick

ters around money known as the
franc. A French franc is of small
value, being worth less than a
third of a cent. These francs
usually pass around in the form
of paper money. A 100-franc
note is worth less than 80 cents.
It cost me 1000 francs to buy a
meal on the railway train which
brought me from Boulogne to
Paris.
The story Of the franc goes
back to- Teutonic tribesmen
known as Franks. Fifteen hun
dred years ago these tribesmen
obtained q foothold in this area.
The Franks provided a new
name for the country-France,
the "land Of the Franks" In
addition. their name was given
to the standard French coin, the
franc There was q time when
q French franc was worth a solid
40 cents. or one-f1fth Of q dollar.

CHANGE E-During his
years as publisher of the
Marion (Ohio) Star, Presi-
dent Warren G. Harding
was called upon frequently
to adress small groups in his
church. On such occasions,
the church choir would sing
after he had finished his
speech.
The choir had both man
and woman singers. At one
time, however, it was de-
cided to replace the women
with boy sopranos. Harding
observed the change and
commented to the minister:
81 see you have abandoned
women in the choir!"
The reverend was shocked.
"Oh, no." he protested.
"They are all highly respect
able, I assure you!"

Grace Moore was in a road

She and a friend returned to
New York with exactly Is

They decided to first rent
a room in a cheap lodging
house and then to look for
work. Their search for a
room, however, met only with
failure. Cautious landladies
demanded payment in ad-
vance.
Finally, after trudging the
city streets for hours. the
girls had a bright idea.
Brushing the dust from their
clothes and applying fresh

Here's what happened. Mr..
Champion led the seven of hearts.
When this lost to the nine spot
in the closed hand. he swore
softly and bit his lower lip. But
this was only a part of the grief
he was to suffer.
Mr.. Dale realized he probably
was still over his head in spite
of his good fortune on the open
ing trick. There was a chance
for the contract if the ace Of
clubs were on his right but, on
the bidding, that was very un-
likely. He had eight tricks in
sight outside of clubs and it ap-.
peared to him that his best bet
was to try to throw Mr.. Cham
pion in at the proper moment
and force him to lead away from
the ace of clubs. AZ -
With this plan in mind he
cashed four spade tricks. On the
last spade he dropped q small
club. Mr.. Champion had to
make two discards and he chose
the seven of diamonds and the
jack of clubs.
Now Mr.. Dale cashed the ace
and king of hearts. His plan was
to follow with the ace and another
diamond, hoping Mr.. Champion
would have to win the second
lead of the suit. 1t was a good
plan but on the ace of diamonds
Mr.. Champion unhestitatingly
threw the king.
The fine play arranged it so
that Mr.. Muzzy. if he held the
queen, would be the one to win
the second diamond. He could
then lead a club up to Mr..
Champions ace-queen.
Played that way, the defenders
would win two clubs, two hearts
and a diamond. Mr.. Dale knew
he was licked. Sadly he led the
second diamond.
But wait. Mr.. Muzzy played
the Six-and Mr.. Champion was
in after all with the jack. He
cashed two hearts but then had
to give Mr.. Dale a club trick
which was all he needed for
game.
why wouldn't you play the
queen Of diamonds, Muzzy?" Mr.
Champion roared. Didn't you
see me drop the king?"
What king?" asked Mr.
MuZZy.
Mr.. Champion held his head
in his hands. What king" he
echoed.
Incidentally" added Mr.
Muzzy, "if you hadn't made that
lousy opening lead we'd have
beaten them"

Traffic Interchange
In Northeast Road
Network Approved

The District Commissioners
yesterday approved construction
OF the Unexplained $1.2 million
traffic interchange at Kenilworth
and Deane avenues NE.
It was formality. but an i'm
portant one since the project is
imperative in the highway COM
pick that involves meshing the
Baltimore Washington Parkway
and the Annapolis Freeway with
the new District road network
Including East Capitol Street
Bridge. New York and South Da-
kota avenues.
Other links being pushed to
completion are structures at the
intersection of New York and
South Dakota. paving of both
those thoroughfares, widening
Kenilworth between the District
line and Benning road, an inter-
change at the Benning- Kenil-
worth juncture. the East Capitol
Street Bridge itself and small
bridge over Watts Branch.
The latter project. costing
$128.733. is jut few yards south
of the Deane and Kenilworth
avenues intersection. It must be
completed. SO that traffic may
temporarily be detoured, before
the Deane-Kenilworth inter-
change can get under way about
mid October.
Complaining the interchange
project is the necessity for in
cooperating into plans a Capt.
tai Transit Co. rail spur leading
from the East Washington Rail-
way Co.. to the Potomac Electric
Power Co. power plant. This
line has been in existence for
many years. Its continued exist
ence is guaranteed by Congress,
unless the transit company de-
cides to abandon the operation
and sell the property to the city.

Fnemen Seek Food, Clothing
For IT Homeless After Blaze

A family Of II, left homeless
by a fire yesterday, spent the
night with relatives in the Rock
vile area and today planned 10
get together to decide what they
are going to do.
The blaze destroyed their
home on a lane off the Derwood-
Redland road north of Rockville
taking with all their clothes and
food.
Il guess it means working "a
hours a day instead Of 49," the
father, William Duvall. house
painter and carpenter, said
today. "But we'll work out
something"
The family had been visiting
relatives yesterday and the blaze
was discovered about 7 pm. by
one of the children. Larry. II,
when he returned home. The
two-story frame structure was
burned to the ground.
Food and clothing for the
family was being collected today
by firemen at Rockville, Gal
thersburg and Silver Spring.
Mr.. and Mrs. Duvall have 13
children. The nine still at home
range in age from six to II.
The two older boys, Larry
and Bobby, 16, have had to quit
school ito help put food for II
on the table three times a day."
Mr.. Duvall said. The blaze took
the weeks supply that the family
had put in the house Saturday.

That amounted to q $65 trip to
the grocery.
Also destroyed were Christmas
presents promised the younger
children by Larry, who had been
saving money several weeks from
his job with a construction COM
pany. He and his monther had
bought the gifts Saturday.
The flames took 5000 in cash
which did not belong to Mr.. Du-
vail. He had been given it to
buy materials for a porch he is
building in Silver Spring.
