Austin Cromer, occupying third
place among the male vocalisis,
called the Tribune theatrical de.
partment late Monday asking 10
be withdrawn. The poll has been
in progress since March 9th, yet
he waited IA weeks TO have his
name withdrawn. When asked
about this he said he had been
out OF town.
Newspaper advertisements and
placards around town indicate he
has been in Detroit most OF thai
time if not all that time. When
asked point blank, Why do you
want 10 withdraw? he answered:
Il think its silly"
II is not too rare to have an
entry attempt 10 withdraw on the
eve Of a contest closing for fear
of being defeated. Little thought
or consideration is given to the
many people who worked untlr'

barred from consultative status
with the U. N. Economic and
Social Council and the United
States is preparing to expel its
British representative here. She
is an ex-wife Of Earl (Bertrand)
Russell, British philosopher

The Soviet bloc campaigned
for recognition of the Women's

against it yesterday was 9-5,
with four abstentions.
The British woman delegate is
Mrs. Dora Grace. who was adj
mitted to the United States on
ECOSOC business but restricted
to only a part of Manhattan
Island. This was the closest re-
striction made on any visa
granted on the claim of U. N.

After the council action, a
United States source said, 1.-THE
reason for Mrs. Grace's stay here
has ended. She will be given a
reasonable time to close out her

DEAR MISS NISSEN: Iii ali
my years Of marriage-lO to be
exact II have yet to. find out
what is love. My home is COM
piete In every respect: it's q
pleasant place, well furnished,
with happy children and q won-
derful husband. Nevertheless, I
still do not know what love Is.
Is 1t word. q figment Of the
imagination. or something real?
MARY C..
ANSWER: You are the person
best qualified TO define love for
your own satisfaction. Surely
you haven't maintained q happy
home for 10 years without love;
1t dominates every day Of your
lives together, 50 you must un-
derstand ct least some of the
facets it has for you and yours.
Since love means different. things
to different people, the defini-
tion that might suit you wouldn't
quite at somebody else. 1t has
many aspects. and each has
many expressions. Love of God,

WORD GAMES
Mrs r. =. s., Washincton)

iMTs .F. =. s., WGShington)
In response to the request
from Mrs. E.C.H., Hyattsville
for ways to amuse two girls
on Q trip. the following games
our 7la year-old enjoys and
we save them for automobile
trips. These were printed in
an article called, 'But You
Can Talk, Can't You?"-- word
games to play when your hands
are busy but minds are free,
printed In the May 1858
"Woman's Day"
Spelling Families: Start with
Q word. let's say r-e-a-l. The
next person might add m-e-a-l.
and so on, each taking q turn
with any other words that are
spelled similarly. II there are
homonyms-words with sim
liar sounds. but belonging to
a different family. we follow
with s-t-e-a-l. r-e-e-l. and into
another family. s-p-e-i-l. This
leads TO the game where each
gives q word. spells it. and sup
plies another word that sounds
like the first but is spelled diff
ferently-ate and eight: hear
and here: to- and two, etc.
Poems: Not only must the
words rhyme. but they must
form thought that makes sense
"a little anyway. Such as:
The trafae light
Is very bright.
Certain letter Words: Start
with any letter and see how
many words you can say start
ing with that letter. One varia-
ton is to start your word with
the last letter Of the preceding
word. such as our, real. lake,
ear. etc. Another word chal-
lenger lists words starting
and ending with the same let
ter. such as ruler, regular.
loyal, etc. This is much harder,
and as the article says, "here
we go even more slowly and
invariably the games are
shorter"
Buzz: This is the game Of
counting consecutively, each
player in turn saying one num-
ber. When q player hits q fig
ure that has q z in it. or can
be divided evenly by Z, he
must say 'sbuzz" instead Of
that figure. For instance. II,
13, buzz. Is. Is. etc. When
you come to q figure like II
or 81. you also buzz. When
we come to the 70's we say
buzz /. buzz 2. buzz 3, ETC..
with buzz-buzz for n.
Hope some Of these will
prove helpful. and that this
is in time for your trip.
