DEFICIENCY NOTED
IN BARBECUE AND
CHiTTLINS IN D. G.
BY BILL WHITLEY

This is top secret stuff, but it's
a fact that there's a place in
Washington where you can get old
fashioned chittlins.
Now there's a vast difference
between the old-fashioned variety
and those peddled through the
meat-packing houses. Unless you
can run into Carolina hog-killing,
it's hard to find a mess that
doesn't taste washed out-as if
they'd been cloroxed.
The only mysterious thing about
this one place in Washington that
handles chittlins is the fact they
serve potato salad with them,
which is probably subversive and
should be Investigated.
1t seems that the owner of the
joint comes from Alabama, or some
far-off place, and he says all the
folks down his way always eats
chittlins with potato salad. In fact,
he said he'd never heard of any,
body eating turnip greens and
baked sweet potatoes with them to
help temper the richness.
But just to keep peace, and to
help business, he promised to fix
up bitch in keeping with the best
traditions. And for good measure,
he's agreed to throw in a big slab
of cornbread.
Barbecue. There's another honest
complaint that can be filed against
this city living. Folks around
Washington don't know what
you're talking about when you ask
for barbecue.
Of course, they've read these
,ancy recipes in the women's
magazines about how spare ribs
and chickens should be allegedly
oarbecued in out-door-fireplaces
over charcoal, but plain ordinary
pig barbecue is beyond them.

A WORD
TO THE WISE
~ MRS. FRANK COLBY

When . person has been
wounded. does one speak Of
his wound" to rhyme with
wound to rhyme with
rhyme with found?
| Well, the "wownd" pronuncia-
Ition Is heard occasionally: but II
has never prevailed In modern
English. Noah Webster preferred
"wownd" In his original diction-
larry (1S2B). but most Of his con-
1temporaries pronounced II
awoond.n The rhyme with
found" was obsolete even ir
Webster,s day. We may regard
lit now as archaic.
Early In the last century, q
certain professor. while In con-
|versation with Q woman Of gentle
birth, repeatedly used the
l"wownd" pronunciation. why
she asked. do you not call
that word 'woond'? Fixing hel
with Q stern and learned eye. the
lpedagogue replied: Because
madam. I have never foond SUI
lficient groond that 1t should
have that soond."
Nevertheless, II the professor
Ihad gone into the origin Of the
WORD. he would have found that
1.-THE "woond" pronunciation Il
historically correct. for the ORR
lginal word was the Anglo-Saxor
wund, which was pronounced
with the zoo" sound. Wund Their
became wunde EXACTLY like the
German word for wound). II
Middle English the letter 90
WAS introduced for some reason
THAT Is not now clear: wounde.
i In time the final &c" dis.
appeared. and the noun wound
IAN injury" came to be spelled
exactly like the past tense ol
wind. And II Is likely that thu
resemblance Of wound tinjtfyl
to the verb Che wound the clock)
brought about the one-time cur
trent pronunciation "wownd."
But, as have already pointed
lout, the "wownd" pronunciation
is obsolete. 1t is not shown BY
Dorland's Medical Dictionary
Those standard dictionaries
II which mention the "wownd" pro.
nunciation describe IL as rare
