the chorus is smooth, far-reach-
ing and truly musical.
The singers are not more than
an inch in length. Their color
varies from fawn to dark brown
with a V-shaped mark between
the beautiful bright eyes. On
the small bow legs are dark bars.
The females are slightly larger
than the males.
One of the best times to cap
ture one of the singers is at
night when you can see their
white inflated threats. During
the day they shout from under
leaves or moss but at night they
do not hear your footsteps.

orally they are fastened in small

@. A promotion sheet describes
a noted pianist as "a soloist OF
broad gauge" Can that be?
A. Webster defines broad
gauge as "any gauge wider than
4 feet 81a inches" Could be,
but I'd have to see it.
@. Why is the adjective form
of the name oxford "Oxonian"?
B.
A. The original name of OK
ford was the Anglo-Saxon Ok
naford. which means "oxen's
ford" In middle Latin it was
written "Oxonia." Later the
modern spelling oxford" was
adopted, but the adjective is
still "Oxonia" with IN" added
for euphony.
@. For the word anemic I say
"uh-NEE-mik":: a friend argue!
that it should be pronounced
"uh-NEM-1k." Please settle.

A Word to the Wise nMs f'o"k Cobb,

A. The customary pronuncia-
ton in America is: uh-NEE-mik.
The British "uh-NEM-ik" is OBJ
solete in American usage, though
still to be found.
@. I have heard "noisome"
used as though it means NOISY.
but I believe that is wrong. Can
you give us the derivation?
A. Noisome means offensive;
disgusting" 1t is the modern
spelling of "noysome." which is
from an old word "noy." short
for annoy" Noisome has no
connection with noise"
@. Should "gherkin". have q
hard "g" sound as in "got," or a
81" sound as in "jerk"?
A. All words beginning with
"gh" have the hard "g":: ghost

Famous Fables
By E. E. Edgar

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
dian w. c Fields was a
shrewd businessman who
could hold his own with the
studio brass. During the de-
preston of the '30s, he was
summoned to the front office
and asked to accept a cut in
pay. Fields didn't favor the
idea.
But it's for the good of
the industry" pleaded the
studio boss. "We're all taking
cuts. We must, to keep
Hollywood going. I know
you've got a contract, but
you won't be able to collect
a cent If things get any
worse"
Fields thought this over
for a few moments. then
said:
It'll talk it over with my
agent"
And if he agrees with me,
will you accept the cut?"
No" replied Fields firm
ly. but I'll change my

Dizzy Dean was exposed
briefly to formal education,
but he found the experience

well, I didn't exactly quit.
The second grade was SO
much easier than the first.
I figured there was nothing

RATT1RnAY, April, IN. 1854

After a hand is played and the
contract defeated by a brilliant
and imaginative lead, any one
can see the logic of that lead.
There is nothing complicated or
difficult about it when you can
see all SO cards. You are in
clined to say, How could you
lead anything else?"
North dealer.
Neither side vulnerable.

The bidding:
North East South West
club Pass heart spade
2 hearts Pass 4 hearts All pass
The trick, of course, is to select
the lead before you can see all
the cards. This requires not only
imagination and logic, but cour-
age. have a theory that thou
sands of players who never made
a, lead like Mr.. Masters made to-
day. are capable of doing so.
They fail either because of
sort of mental laziness or be-
cause of a mawkish and trance
like hero-worship of "the ex-
perts." The fact is these players
are better than they think. I adj
wise them to stop incoming over
the exploits of the top players
and concentrate their energies
on improving their own capabil-
tiles.
In today's hand Mr. Masters
led the jack of diamonds. When
Mr.. Abel saw the dummy he
looked very happy. Obviously Mr..
Masters had the ace of spades
and apparently the only pos
Sible losers were spade, heart
and a club.
He won with the king of dia-
monds and took the heart fin
esse. Mr.. Masters won and re-
turned the queen of spades.
Many would consider this a
sensational lead, but not, I think,
If they took the trouble to reason
as Mr.. Masters did. His side
could have only one possible win
ner in clubs, none in diamonds
and certainly no more in hearts.
Therefore two spade winners
were necessary to beat the hand.
Now If Mr.. Abel had only two
spades, this was hopeless. The
only hope was that he had three.
The lead of the ace and another
spade or the lead of a low spade
would be fatal to the defense if
Mr.. Abel had the jack, three
long.
But since the contract could
not be beaten unless Mr.. Dale
held the king of clubs, there was
no hurry about winning the
spade tricks. So Mr.. Masters led
the queen. Dummy's king won
and Mr.. Abel picked up the
trumps and took the club finesse.
Mr.. Dale won and returned a
spade. enabling Mr.. Masters to
take the setting tricks.

Spring peppers.

There are q very few people
in the Eastern United States who
do not know the voices Of the
spring peppers. Although they
may only guess who these singers
may be, they recognize the chorus
Of tiny tree frogs.
In April the chorus often
originates in the marshes or in
the marshy land in the woods.
It. can be heard a quarter of a
mile away. Later in the season,
