A WORD
TO THE WISE
ROUSoN
BY MRS. FRANK COLBY

The letter 81" is one of the
bad boys of the alphabet. We
are seldom sure if he should have
the long sound as in turpentine,
the short sound as in discipline,
the sound of &c" as in machine,
or the sound Of III" as in sir, fir,
stir.
This is especially true in these
three words: IODINE, QUININE,
VITAMINE. And the diction-
aries are not sure either, for
they show three recommendations
for each Of the words. We may
be fairly certain, however, that
in each case the pronunciation
first listed is the one that is
preferred by the majority of cul-
Itured speakers.
Iodine
First choice: EYE-oh-dyne;
Second choice: EYE-oh- din;
Third choice: EYE-oh-deen.
Quinine
First choice: KWY-nyne;
Second choice: kwin- ZEN;
Third choice: KWIN-in.
Vitamin
First choice: VY-tuh-min;
Second choice: VIT-uh-min;
Third choice: VY-tuh-meen.
The river that marks the
boundary between Texas and
Mexico is not the "RYE-uh
GRAND, REE-ah GRAND" nor
the ''REE-uh GRAN-dee." Also
note. Rio means river" hence,
it is redundant to speak of the
Rio Grande River" In Spanish
Rio Grande is pronounced: Rec
loh GRAHN-day. The American
pronunciation is either: Rec oh
GRAND, or: REE-uh GRAND.

you're crazy" Mr.. Muzzy
stated. Il can't see through the
backs Of the cards"
"You don't even do we'll look
ing at the fronts Of them,
snapped Mr.. Champion. IF
you'd got a count on the hearts,
you'd have got a count on the
club suit automatically.
"A likely story" said Mr..
Muzzy, who couldn't think of a
better answer because he had
no idea what Mr.. Champion was
talking about.
This is how Mr.. Muzzy played
the hand: The opponents won
the first two tricks with the ace
and king Of spades. At trick
three. Mrs. Keen led the queen of
hearts.
Mr.. Muzzy won on the board
with the ace, took two rounds Of
trumps, then played the ace Of
clubs and followed with the jack.
When Mrs. Keen showed out on
the second club lead a one-trick
set was inevitable.
Mr.. Champion was right. There
was no hurry about taking the
club finesse. 1t should have been
postponed until every possible
piece of information about the
opponents distribution had been
gathered.
After winning the third trick
with the ace of hearts Mr.. Muzzy
should have led a low heart and
ruffed it high in his hand.
Two ROUNDS of diamonds, end
ing on the board, would have
exhausted the enefny's trumps.
Next he should have cashed the
ace of hearts, discarding a small
club from his hand.
When he then led the last
heart from dummy and ruffed it,
Mr.. Dale would have shown out.
That would have proven that
Mrs. Keen had started with five
hearts.
A five-card spade holding
could have been inferred from
her spade overcall. She had fol-
lowed suit to exactly two leads of
diamonds. That's II cards.

AND GIRL

Therefore she must have only
one club.
The club suit should have been
handled by cashing the king first
and then taking a flnesse toward
Mrs. Keen'S hand.

Dead Sea Scroll, the last Of the
famous writings to be unrolled
and translated.
DR.. Yadin, who a few years
ago gave up his post as chief Of
operations Of the Israeli defense
army I'd work on the scrolls,
spoke in CASTOR Hall at George
town University. His appear
ance was sponsored by the
Georgetown University School Of
Foreign Service.
The last of the 2,000-year -old
scrolls, poorly preserved and ex-
tremely brittle, enlargeS on
hitherto known Biblical tales on
Lamech, Enoch, Noah and Abra-
ham. Included is a considerable
expansion on the Bibles version
of Abraham's sojourn into Egypt
with Sarah, described in the
scroll as very fair"
Explains Expansion
DR.. Yadin, who helped with
the unrolling and translation,
referred to that expansion to
make his point.
The Biblical account, he ex-
planned has led some theologians
down through the years to sus-
pect Abraham of Sacrificing his
wife's honor" to save his own
skin. Some, he said, have
thought Abraham "ungallant"
because he suggested to Sarah
that they pose as brother and
sister SO Egyptian King Pharaoh
Zoan. who heard of Sarah's
beauty and coveted her, would
not kill Abraham to get her.
The scroll, the contents Of
which were made public early
last month in Jerusalem, paints
a sligtly different land tremen-
dously enlightening" picture. DR..
Yadin said.
He said It tells OF a dream
Abraham had in which a cedar
tree, stading near a palm, was
threatened with the ak. It was
left standing however, at the
request Of the palm.
Seen as Her Idea
The scroll says Abraham told
Sarah of the dream and asked
for an Interpretation. She said
he was the cedar and she the
palm and came up with the plan
that they pose as brother and
sister.
1T makes it quite clear that
the idea was hers, not his" DR..
Yadin said.
The king later ordered Sarah
brought to him, land he looked
upon and marveled at all her
loneliness and took her to him
to wife" Abraham was spared
because Sarah described him as
her brother.
According to DR.. Yadin, Abra-
ham fell to grievous weeping"
and prayed to God for swift
judgment of the king.
It came in the form of a
pestilential wind and afflicted
