A WORD
TO THE WISE
By MRS. FRANK COLBY

Omar Khayyam was not a
tentmaker, his name was not
Khayyam. and he was compare
lively unknown as a poet. His
father was a maker of tents;
and Omar was renowned as a
mathematician, astronomer and
free thinker. His fame in the
West as a poet came centuries
after his death. To his father
and mother. he was Ghiyathud-
din Abulfath Omar Bin Ibrahim
Al-Khayyami.
In Persia Omar,s most IA
nous writing was a work on
algebra. He also aided Sultan
Malik-Shah in reforming the
calendar (1709.
1t may surprise many ardent
admirers of Omar's verse that
Rubaiyat is neither a mystic
nor ineffably romantic name.
Rubaiyat is simply an unexcit-
ing Arabic word that means
composed of four" The title
was given to Khayyam's collec-
ton of epigrams because his
stanzas consist of four lines only,
quatrains.
Omar rhymes with Homer;
the "a" in the second syllable of
Khayyam is broad (ah): OH
mer ky-YAHM.
= NEANTERTHAL man refers
to the species of primeval man
widespread in Europe during
the paleolithic period (paleo-,

was named for the Neanderthal
Valley. near Dusseldorf. Ger

skull and other parts of skele-
ton were found in a cave.
The Neanderthal man is esti-
mated to have lived during the
middle of the Pleistocene period,
about 10000 to 10000 BIC. He
was ape-like in posture and ap-
pearance, but possessed a fair

since he gave his dead a respect

the use of flint instruments. He
was a true cave man.

Let's follow his reasoning.
Against the grand slam con-
tract Mr.. Abel led the king of
spades and dummy's ace won.
Now, how is Mr.. Champion going
to dispose of his losing spade?
He can discard one of dummy'S
spades on his own king of dia-
monds and another on the third
round of clubs. Not enough. He
needs one more discard.
How about finessing the jack
of diamonds for that extra win
ner? That would work if the
queen of diamonds were in Mrs.
Keen's hand. Normally that
would be a $3.50 shot. But in
this deal Mr.. Abel had over
called, and since only two queens
and a king were outstanding. it
was much more likely that he
held all three of those cards.
So. Mr.. Champion correctely de-
cided that a squeeze was his best
bet. 1t was practically certain
that Mr.. Abel had the queen of
spades. Therefore he needed to
hold that card to prevent
dummy's jack from winning. The
queen of diamonds is the third
highest diamond Therefore.
Mr.. Abel had to hold three dia-
monds. A total of four cards.
One trick had been played and
MIR. Champion was in a position
to win the next nine in suits
other than the suits in which he
hoped to develop the squeeze.
Total, ten tricks.
After the running of ten tricks
Mr.. Abel would have to be down
to three cards. But we have al
ready determined that he had
to hold four cards to protect
spades and diamonds. Obvious
" he couldn't do it.
!. Beginning with the second
trick. Mr.. Champion took three
. rounds of trumps, leaving the
ace in dummy. He cashed three
club tricks, discarding a spade
from dummy on the third round.
Then he led all of the hearts.
With three cards left, dummy
was down to spade jack, Z and
diamond jack. In the closed
hand were diamond ace, king, 10.
Poor Mr.. Abel clearly had to
hold on to his queen of spades.
so he discarded a diamond. The
ace and king of diamonds then
dropped his queen and the ten
of diamonds won the last trick.

Bass fishing up the Potomac
was fairly good last week end,
but bluegill fishing was the best
of which we had heard in many
a day. One of our friends took
fourteen bluegills Of large size
on one hellgrammite, and then,
shifting the position of the boat
and using a spinning rod and
Mepps spinner, he landed 10
large bluegills on 10 casts.
Largemouths in ponds were
biting nicely, judging from those
caught this past week end in
one pond. The fish hit surface
lures best, and in the late, after
noon and after dark. Algae in
ponds is bad this year and a
problem in many.
