Ia fellow Senator named Nicoll
The latter came armed with
dozens Of pamphlets. expecting
to speak for at least an hour.
He did not call a halt until he
had spoken for three hours. His

Walker rubbed the sleep from

A WORD
TO THE WISE
BY MRS. FRANK COLBY

Galveston: win you please ex-
plain why we speak Of the SD
card in the deck as the "joker"2
IT. H. C.
Answer: After q fruitless
search through my own reference
books I appealed to Ely Culbert-
son. the famous bridge expert
and commentator on world af-
fairs. He cites page 157 Of the
authoritative book, Playing
Cards." by Guerney Benham:
Joker Is q name given to an
odd card added to the pack.
sometimes ornamented with q
design slightly suggestive Of the
British ace Of spades. but includ-
ling frequently the picture Of q
Jester. lie Fou' (The FooD used
to be the extra card in the old
ITarot packs. and this no doubt
explains the name and the pres
Ience Of the Joker"
The Jester. of course, was the
court fool in former days and.
since the face cards are symbolic
of kings and queens, 1t seems
quite logical that the odd card
would be thought Of as le fou.
hence the jester. hence the joker.
Nantucket: Please give the
origin Of the term "pickaninny.' =
-. M.
Answer: Pickaninny. "a small
lcolored child" is not heard often
in these days. Negroes are said
to object to the term. although
Iit has no derogatory meaning
or implication. Pickaninny is
simply an American corruption
Iof the Cuban piquinini. from the
Spanish pequeno. little" and
Inino, child"
The word was introduced into
America by West Indian Negroes
who referred to their small chill
dren by the affectionate diminu-
tive piquinini. Americans. white
and colored. picked up the term.
lpronouncing 1t ''PIK-uh-NIN-
ee," hence the change in spelling
to "piccaninny" and. finally, to
pickaninny. The word. Of course,
has no connection with the term
I.ninny."

certainly don't mean to imply
there is anything wrong with
reading good textbooks on the
game. You can find out how to
handle practically every type Of
hand. But there are times when
there is no harm in using q little
individual judgment.
Take Mrs. Rhule's hand today.
for example. She had IA points
all right, but she didn't have q
good opening bid. ! would rec
ommend o pass on her holding.
Six Of her IA points are made
up Of queens and two Of those
queens are completely uI1sup-
ported. The queen Of hearts has
only slight support. Queens and
jacks. unsupported by other
honors and held in suit length Of
three cards or less, are treach-
erous values.
Mrs. Rhule's hand offered fine
support Of an opening bid by her
partner. but it was anemic for
an opening. except, possibly. at
match point duplicate.
Against the final contract Of
three no-trump, Mr.. Masters led
the jack Of spades. Mr.. Abel won
with dummys' queen and Mrs.
Fusty played the deuce. A small
diamond was led to the king and
Mr.. Masters won with the ace.
He noted that his partner played
another deuce.
Obviously there was no future
In spades and diamonds and.
since clubs looked hopeless. 1t
appeared to be hearts or nothing.
Mr.. Masters returned q heart
and he was careful to lead the
deuce. not the king. II he had
led the king, dummy's holding
would have stopped the suit. Mr..
Abel played the ten from dummy
and Mrs. Fusty won with the
jack. tIf dummy had played
small, Mrs. Fusty would have
won with the eight.)
She returned q low heart to
Mr.. Masters king and a third
heart lead through dummy's
queen made sure Of i've heart
tricks and a two-trick set.
If Mrs. Rhule had passed as
dealer, Mr.. Abel would have
opened the bidding with one dia-
mond. Now Mrs. Rhule, with
the potential value Of her lone
some queens much improved,
could have shown her enthusi-
asm by q jump to two no-trump.
Shying away from no-trump.
Mr.. Abel would say three clubs
and q club raise from Mrs. Rhule
would almost surely result In
reaching the cold game ct that
suit.
