A WORD
TO THE WISE
By MRS. FRANK COLBY

Denver: Now take the word
forehead. Shall I continue to
rhyme it with "horrid," or should
I rhyme it. as scme announcers
are doing, with fore red?
H. C. D.
Answer: Dictionary consensus
strongly favors ";orrid" or for
red" Two or three. however. list
fore-head" as second or third
choice. While I haven't yet made
a comprehensive check of the
pronunciation, it is my belief
that "fore-hed" is rapidly gain
ing ground in America. 1t may
soon prevail; perhaps it already
prevails. At any rate. fore he'd
cannot be held as wrong" if the
people want it that way, for
"f-o-r-e-h-e-a-d" certainly spells
fore he'd" doesn't it?
Detroit: Is the word lief" good
usage. as I'D lief do it that
way? -G. D.
Answer: It's good usage: but
it is not heard as often as for
merly. Nowadays it is more Gus
tomary to say I'D just as soon
do it that way" or, I'D rather
do it that way"
Jueblo: A friend sent me a
copy of an English newspaper.
In an article young woman is
spoken of as a "mannequin. "
Will you please discuss?
Mrs. D. T.
Answer: She's a model-that
is, she models clothes for a liv-
ing. This usage, common in
Britain and France, does not
occur in America.

Maryland I oxpoyers
To Get New Schedule

BALTIMORE, May 81 (P.-
Maryland wage earners who
make $40 per week or more, will
be taking home little less pay
after July /. but they'll be COM
pensated by relief from the an
nual headache Of paying their
State income taxes each spring
Maryland's new withholding
system of paying State Income
taxes goes into effect on July /.
It will not apply to District firms
nor to Federal installations out
side Maryland.
The relief from the spring
payof won't be felt in its en-
tirety until next year, however
There will still be the task of
paying income taxes owed on
the first six months of the 1855
calendar year when next April
IS rolls around.
In addition, the taxpayer will
continue to meet his quarterly
payments this year. In effect,
he will be paying % months OF
taxes he owes in a 10-month
period from July of 1855 to April
of 1856.
After that date, the State and
the boss will do all the work,
withholding a little from each
pay check.
Worse Than Usual
And the headache next April
Is will be little worse than
usual for those accustomed to
paying State income taxes in
quarterly payments.
The State wants that six
months period Of taxes due all in
one payment. In other words,
those who pay quarterly and
earn about the same this year as
they did last year will have to
make a single payment which is
about twice the size of the quar-
terly payments being made now
For farmers, self-employed
taxpayers and others (such as
Maryland residents working in
the District or Virginia) receiv-
ing income not subject to with
holding, the State will require
an estimate of their 1865 income
by September Is. At the same
time a quarterly payment wiki
be due.
These same persons should
make another declaration Janu-
ary IS, 1856, along with another
quarterly payment. The re-
mainder of their taxes for the
first half of this year will be due
April Is.

By EAsLEY BLACKWOOD

The opening lead was the jack
of spades. Mr.. Champion cor
rectly guessed that the only
chance he had to beat the con-
tract was to make one OF his
small trumps by ruffing club.
So he overlook the jack of spades
with his queen and led the lone
seven of clubs.
His plan was that when he
got the lead with the king OF
hearts. he would underlead the
ace-king of spades. hoping to
put his partner in with the ten
spot. If this worked out, he
could ruff the club return for
the setting trick.
This was very good planning
and at first glance it appears
there is no way for Mr.. Masters
to make his contract against
such brilliant defense.
But Mr.. Masters countered
with a plan of his own. He felt
pretty sure the seven Of clubs
was a singleton. If so. it was i'm
perative to keep Mr.. Abel out
of. the lead.
He won the club trick with
dummy's 10 when Mr.. Abel
played a low one. Then he
cashed the ace and king Of dia-
monds led a small heart, and
went right up with dummy's ace.
Now a small heart return at
this point would clear the suit
If the adverse hearts were
divided %. But Mr.. Masters
was not willing to stake every
thing on that distribution.
He was not yet ready to sur
render the lead to the opposi-
ton. Instead, he led the jack
of diamonds from the board
and was happy to. see Mr..
Champion play the queen. He
did not ruff this trick but mace
the fine play of dropping his
last spade.
Mr.. Champion was stymied.
The only possible way he could
reach his partner was in the
spade suit. a suit in which Mr..
Masters was now void. Desper-
ately, he led a low spade, hop
ing Masters had started with
three cards in the suit. But this
lead was ruffed in the closed
hand and the only other trick
the defenders could win was the
king of trumps.
Sometimes you can even make
a loser work for you. The trick
is to lose it at the right time
and to the fright" opponent.

Want to make q million doll
lars?
There's q new pocket-size
book out which tells exactly how
to do 1t. Sounds as II the form
ula might work. too. If any Of
us had the sense and stick-to-it-
jveness to follow 1t. A little luck
might help some. too.
Marvin Small is the author of
this book, titled "How to Make
More Money" He made enough
money himself out Of such things
as deodorants to retire at IS.
Basically. Mr.. Small's formula
is so simple that you wonder
why he wrote book about 1t.
Find out what a lot Of people
want and then give 1t to them"
is about what 1t adds up to-
which sounds pretty much like
an old wheeze about building Q
better rnousetrap.
But Mr.. Small goes on to cite
case histories--such as that of
Leo Gerstenzang. who watched
his wife bathe the baby, saw
she was having trouble twisting
cotton around the end Of q
toothpick, and invented Q-tips
then and there.
Sound Advice
tMr. Small doesn't point it
up, but there's another lesson
here: Always let your wife bathe
the baby. II Mr.. Gerstenzang
had said. "Here. darling, let me
do that" the chances are dim
he would have the high Dun &
Bradstreet rating he enjoys to-
day.
"All right" you say. "but this
fellow Gerstenzang must have
had q knack for inventing
things. Me, I'm not smart
enough to put q box of paper
matches under a wobbly table
leg. Doesn't that bar me from
the millionaire class?"
Not on your life. Capitalize
on your own defect. Mr.. Small
tells the story Of q young New
York East Slider who was 50
gawky he couldn't get out OF
the way Of his own feet. But one
day Q brash young lady dragged
him out on q dance floor and
the next thing he knew he was
dancing like Arthur Murray.
This Is not too surprising.
really. because the young man
was Arthur Murray. He figured
that, by golly. If he could learn
to dance anybody could-if
properly taught. And he became
the man who did the teaching,
at a highly satisfactory profit.
Well, now, says Mr.. Small,
there's an old Chinese saying
to the effect Of "fu yu mu vi
WI tzu su," which he translates
as "papa's having and mama,s
having is not the same as hav-
ing 1t oneself" In other words:
More power to Mr.. Murray and
Mr.. Gerstenzang---but how do
I get in on the act?
Play the Game
Mr.. Small knew you were going
to ask that. and he has an an
swer ready--borrowed, he cheer
fully acknowledges, from adyer-
tiSing tycoon Alex Osborn. It'sI
a little game called 'brainstorm-
ing" You play 1t this way:
You look at any object-one
of Mr.. Murray's dance charts.
for instance. or one Of Mr.. Gers
tenzang's Q-tips. Then you ask
yourself q whole series Of ques-
tio1s about 1t: Is there a simpler
way OF doing or making this?
Can 1t be adapted to other uses?
Can 1t be made portable?
tNot all these questions will
apply TO every possible object.
It's hard. for example, to imagine
anything more portable than a
Q-tip.)

series OF such questions. He does
