MELBOURNE, Nov. 28.-You

Stan Tinkham, has definite ideas
of spelling the Olympic Games

Considering that the Aussies
are staging the biggest: noisiest
and undoubtedly the best Olym-

attitude of Tinkham borders on
being downright unkind.

So All pass
The king of diamonds won the
first trick. The ace of diamonds
followed and Mr.. Masters ruffed,
He led clubs and was disap-
pointed when it took three leads
to clear the suit. On the second
and third club leads Mr.. Dale
discarded two small diamonds.
Now a casual glance at the
spade setup makes two losers
there seem almost certain, un-
less one opponent holds king
queen doubleton. If there is such
a holding outstanding, the lead
of the ace and another spade
will set up the jack for a third
round winner and make the con-
tract.
But Mr.. Masters knows his
card combinations. 1t did not
even occur to him to lay down
the ace. He realized that there
were other divisions of the out
standing spades which would
also give him an excellent play
for his contract.
For example, if Mr.. Dale had
any doubleton holding that in
cluded the ten, eleven tricks were
possible if the true situation
could be guessed.
Therefore, Mr.. Masters next
play was a. small spade. When
Mr.. Dale followed suit with the
five, the nine was played from
the board. Mr.. Meek won with
the queen and, after consider
able frowning and worrying, re-
turned a small heart.
This was won on the board
with the queen. Mr.. Masters still
didn't have much to go on ex-
cept that Mr.. Meek had studied
over his return and had refused
to lead back a spade.
Mr.. Dale probably had as many
as seven diamonds for his
pre-empt and therefore was like
~ to be short in any other suit.
If Mr.. Meek had both the king
and ten of spades left, the hand
was hopeless. But surely he did
not have the ten or he would
have used it to win the first spade
lead.
There was no doubt that the
ten was in Mr.. Dale's hand and
if it were alone at this point
Mr.. Masters decided to lead
the jack of spades from dummy
and when this smothered Mr.
Dale's ten, the eight of spades set
up for the game-going trick.

A WORD
TO THE WISE
By MRS. FRANK COLBY

These three words usually
suffer dislocation of the accents:

EXQUISITE
INQUIRY
Conversant: The pronuncia-
ton "kun-VER-s'nt" is obsoles-
cent. All authorities now place
the accent on the first syllable.
which rhymes with DON" thus:
KON-ver-s'nt.
Exquisite: Not "ek-SKWIZ- it"
Be sure to shift the accent to
the first syllable, thus: EKS-
kwi-sit.
Inquiry: OF nine dictionaries
consulted. only Merriam Web
ster's lists the commonly heard
"IN-queer-ee," and as second
choice. Websters first choice
and the only choice of the
others, accents the second syl-
liable, which rhymes with by
my" thus: in-KWY-ree.
The word LARYNX, the voice
organ, is commonly mispro-
nounced "LAHR-niks." But
note that the ~" comes before
and not after the IN" Also, the
"a" should be fiat as in carrot,
arrogant. Say LAIR-inks.
Note. The larynx is commonly
referred to as the Adams apple,
a name that arose from an old
superstition that when Adam
tried to eat the forbidden fruit
the first bite stuck fast in his
throat. Thenceforth. all men
have had Adams apples as a
reminder Of the original sin.
BRONCHIAL is not "BRON-

The house sounds like an
ideal honeymoon spot. At the
east end of the island, it's
about three miles from town
and faces the water. Built of
white masonry with big COL

flavor. A 500-foot sloping
green lawn separates it from
