Word to the Wise By Mrs. F'o"t Colby

A SIREN is a device that sends
forth shrill wall of warning.
How did it get its name?
In Homer's odyssey" the
sirens were sea nymphs, daugh-
tiers Of the sea god Phorcys. BY
their sweet singing from the
rocks of their island home they
lured mariners to destruction.
But Odysseus sailed safely past,
for he had stopped his sailors
ears with wax and had himself
bound safely to the mast.
Siren should never be pro-
nounced "sy-REEN." Accent the
first syllable and rhyme the
second with hen, men. Say:
SY-rep.
Odyssey is pronounced ODD
uh-si: Odysseus is either OH
DISS-i-us or oh-DISS-yooss.
(The Latin name Of Odysseus is
Ulysses, pronounced yoo-LISS-
eeZ.)
Penelope (pee-NELL-uh-pee)
was the faithful wife of Odysseus.
The name means "a weaver. "

News spread through the Toma
tribe that the white men were
learning the secrets of WITCH
craft and there were angry
words. The chief witch doctor
feared that he would be pun

secret society.
At this point Pierre Gaisseau
asked to be tattooed. This re-
quest was of special importance.
Any one who took such treatment
would be classed as a member
of the Toma tribe.
At last the chief witch doctor
and his helpers agreed to per-
form the tattooing. Gaisseau and
his three companions were awak-
ened at 3 o'clock one morning

they learned had never been told

The chief witch doctor Of the

for such medicine IRE human
hair and the fat bodies of queen

Witch doctors in the tribe have
a close knowledge of many

clans meet to decide whether a

they decide to commit the crime.

CRITIC: Theatrical Pro-
ducer John Golden was a
song writer in his younger
days. In 1915 he was reading
the speeches of Woodrow
Wilson and was so impressed
by the lyrical quality of the
Presidents language that he
incorporated a few favorite
lines into a song. for which
he also wrote the music.
Some weeks later he was
invited to the White House
to play his song. Wilson lis.
tened with obvious enjoy
ment. When Golden had fin
ished. he turned to the Pres
ident and asked:
How did you like it. Mr..
eresident?"
II don't know much about
music" replied Wilson, so
I hesitate to venture an
opinion about the musical
quality of the song. But !
can tell you this, Mr.. Golden,
the words are superb"
GENIUS: At a gathering
one evening Oscar Wilde's
wit was more dazzling than
ever.

VI course an OVercall SnOulQ
not be made without certain
values, the principal value" be-
ing a good suit. Entering the
auction after the bidding has
been opened by an opponent will
sometimes cost you a substantial
set or give some other kind of
aid to the enemy.
However, aggressive overcall-
ing on reasonable values will
help your side more often than
1t will help the opposition. That's
all you need-an edge or per-
centage in your favor. You cam
expect to get soul-satisfying
result on every hand.
It is we'll to remember that
an overcall of two clubs or two
diamonds is more likely to get
doubled than any other overcall.
The reason for this is that these
are the highest possible con-
tracts which do not equal
a game even if made, doubled.
Therefore a player can double
such a contract without much
risk.
A corollary of this is that when
you have a good partner and he
overcalls at the two level you
know that he is not in there on
a trashy hand.
In today'S deal Mr.. Dale took
no action at all over the open
ing heart bid and yet on the
next round he jumped into a
game contract at no-trump.
This seeming inconsistency
was entirely justified. His two
honoAs in clubs made it reason
able to assume that clubs were
solid. He felt sure Mrs. Keen
had a six-card club holding with
some outside high-card strength.
Lacking that much, she would
not have bid two clubs. It was
that simple.
Note that there were only 81
points in high cards in the part
nerShip and yet three no-Crump
was easy. Mr.. Masters led the
ace of hearts and shifted to a
small diamond. Mr.. Dale won
with the ace of diamonds in
dummy and promptly led a spade
toward his king. After Mr.. Mas
ters turned up with the ace OF
hearts, Mr.. Champion practical
ly had to have the ace of spades
for his opening bid. He did and
the contract rolled home.
