A Word to the Wise sA'. f'o"t Coll

Frankfort: Our English class
would like you to explain why
we speak Of a pair of pants; a
pair of glasses. a pair of scis-
sors," ETC.. when only one article
is involved. Will you please
clarity it for us?-J. S.
We say a pair of glasses,
scissors. trousers" because they
consist of two things joined
together. Originally, if you'll go
way back in your history, men
did not wear trousers" as we
know them. today; they wore
long stockings which reached to
their hips. They spoke then Of q
pair of CATERS. Later when they
were Joined together to make
trousers" or pants" they were
still spoken of as a pair. The
same thing happened to glasses.

In these modern days, people
would think it strange if they
saw q newspaper headline like
this:
AIRPLANE FLIES ACROSS
ENGLISH CHANNEL.
Thousands of planes now
make longer trips than that each
hour of the day and night. Even
an ocean crossing by airp.ane
is a little thing from our pres
ent viewpoint.
Early in the present century
a different viewpoint existed. No
pilot had flown a plane across
the English Channel. The Wright
brothers, and others, had flown
planes but an airplane trip never
had been made across a good
sized body Of water.
In an effort to bring about
such q trip. q London daily news

Planada: In order to settle an
argument. we would appreciate
knowing: Is there such a word
as "irregardless." and if not,
what would be the proper word
to use.-Mrs. G. O.
'Irregardless" is what is
known as a double negative. The
prefix ir-means mot" and
less means without; hence, the
actual meaning of irregardless
is mot without regard" which
is the opposite of the meaning
intended. Correct: Regardless,
without regard"

The bidding:
South West North East
1 club Pass diamond Pass
2NT Pass 3 Mt All Pass
OF course the bidding, play
and defense of every hand is in
fluenced by what has gone be-
fore and this was no exception.
On several previous deals Mr..
Champion had given Mr.. MuZzy
q verbal lacing for failing to use
the hold-up play. Failure to
hold up had lost the contract in
each case.
Finally in today's deal Mr..
Muzzy was determined that he
would suffer no more abuse for
this reason. Mrs. Keen led the
six Of spades, Mr.. Abel played
the queen and Mr.. MuzZy laid
the trey firmly on the table.
Mr.. Abel returned the nine,
which was covered with the jack
and won by Mrs. Keen with the
king. Another spade lead cleared
the suit and, since Mrs. Keen
held the guarded king Of clubs.
she was bound to get in to cash
two more spades and defeat the
contract.
OF course Mr.. Muzzy should
have won the first trick with
the ace of spades. At least three
club tricks had to be won to
make the contract and the club
finesse had to be taken toward
Mrs. Keen.
If she got in with the king of
clubs she could not continue
spades without setting up Mr..
Muzzy's jack.
To give Mr.. MuzZy all proper
credit. he probably would have
made the right play under nor
NAL conditions. But, owing to
pressure from across the table.
he was more confused than
usual. In placing the blame for
the error at trick one. don't
overlook charging a sizable por7
ton to Mr.. Champion.

uncertainty over price supports next

Until Congress has decided whether
80 per cent supports are to be contin-
ued, wheat growers won't know what
their price floor will be- Level of sup
port, conceivably, could change the
vote.
If quotas and allotments are rejected,
there will be no curbs on next years
production-but price support would be
only so per cent of parity. If the Ad-
ministration's price program were put
in force next year wheat support might
be at 70 per cent of parity. Under the
farm law now on the books, providing
for automatic ''fIexibility'' in supports
starting next year, wheat support prob
ably would be at rs per cent of parity.
In announcing the controls program,
Benson told reporters that the depart
ment probably would have to exercise
rigid controls for a time, even at rs
per cent of parity, to bring SURPRISES
under CONTROL
