Capt. H. A. Yeager. who Is
Admiral Holloway's assistant for
special projects, made clear that
a lot of other details were
thought Of before the train
showed OF.
The railroads, for example,
agreed to assign their most ex-
perienced crews. Two dining cars
are filled with the finest in foods
and the nurses are supervising
preparation Of baby formulas
and special diets. Meals are
served at reduced rates.
Fun En- Route.
There's ample entertainment.
One car is fitted out as COM
bination playroom and movie
house. with decorations from the
Walt Disney shop and movies
furnished by him. These are
shown several times q day.
There are comic books galore,
plenty Of ice cream. candy and
toys. And extra diapers are
available.
Children are not permitted to
leave the train for q ''breather"
unless accompanied by an adult.
En- route. the Pullman doors are
securely bolted.
Crates for Pets.
Pets are being carried, too
Grated and cared for In bag
gage car behind the diesel en-
gines. Advance precautions were
taken to guarantee electricity,
heat and water in the unlikely
event the train is halted by se-
rious snow drifts.
All Navy personnel on the trip
both officers and enlisted-are
volunteers who had to go west
anyway on special assignment
or report for new duty there.
So there's no joy-riding junket
and no extra cost involved.
For Navy wives who chose this
means of going west, the train
Is a great relief.

to ship our household furnish-
ings several weeks before we
make a move. This time, we kept
everything intact until couple

parted. The Navy had the NOV

bands are taking through the

But the greatest relief, per-
haps. was summed up by a for
mer Washingtonian. Mrs. Robert
r. Craighill, whose husband used
to be stationed In Washington In
the Office of the Navy controller
and now is captain OF the u. s. s.
Rolette. She said:
ITS a lot different riding the

There were problems arising
for everyone. Take the case Of

The Gavins sighed because
their car was to have been loaded
aboard ship within three hours
for shipment to the West Coast.
But the watertender did not give
up.
He went out and pulled the
tenders of the wheels SO he
could drive into the Naval Base.
At the dock he got permission to
load his car q little late. Then
he drove into town, got an esti-
mate on damage and arranged
with insurance agents to have
the repairs made in California.
He took the car back to the base
and had it put aboard.

A WORD TO THE WISE

which may some day be accepted
as an idiom. Slang, as I have
remarked before, is idiom in the
larval stage.
Des Moines: Please tell me
why the word women is pro-
nounced "wimmen." Have asked
high school teachers. and they
can't answer the question:. F.
AnSwer-It is a curious sur
vival from the ancient spelling
"wimman" for the singular, and
"wimmen" for the plural. The
word woman originally was the
Anglo-Saxon wifman, literally
"wifeman." It evolved thus:
Wifman: wimman; wumman;
woman.

Did you ever see Mr.. Dale's
hand in a book? He had never
seen it before. either. What is
his correct response? Should he
bid two diamonds or three
spades? How about Mr.. Abel's
rebid? After the three-club call
on his right. should he bid three
spades or should he pass?
Mrs. Keen had a problem. too
Should she sacrifice at five clubs
or take a chance on setting four
spades?
Mr.. Abel became the declarer
at a contract of four spades. but
he failed to make his bid even
after he got the opening lead Of
the king Of clubs.
He ruffed in dummy and i'm
mediately finessed the queen of
spades.
Mrs. Keen won with the king
of spades and switched to the
queen of hearts as her only hope.
The defenders won three quick
heart tricks to put the hand
down one.
At trick two Mr.. Abel should
have played the ace of spades.
AS 1t happens. this would have
given him all 13 tricks.
If Mr.. Champion had started
with the guarded king of spades,
there was no danger in losing a
spade trick to him.
If both opponents followed suit
to the ace of spades, that would
leave only the king outstanding
and then. regardless of which
opponent held the king, Mr.. Abel
was safe as long as both de-
tenders had to follow suit att
least twice to diamond leads.
On the third lead of diamonds
he could ditch a heart and then
he could lose only a spade and
two hearts. In addition to all of
these advantages, there was al
pretty fair chance of dropping
the king under the ace.
