A WORD
TO THE WISE
BY MRS. FRANK COLBY

It is surprising that so many
people, including those OF bet
ter-than-average education. la
Dor under the delusion that AN"
should be used before words be-
ginning with "h," if those words
are accented on the second
syllable. as: An historian. an
historical, an heroic.
In the first place the accentu-
alton of a word has nothing
whatever to do with grammar,
or grammatical rules.
In the second place there
never was such a rule"
The rule, established by
American and British usage is:
Use "a" before words beginning
with a consonant sound; use
IAN" before words beginning
with a vowel sound. In Eng
land it is more or less custom
airy to say IAN hotel. an hostler.
an historical novel," etc. but
this is due to the British habit
of dropping the initial "h" of
such words. as: an 'otel, an
'ostler, an 'istorical novel. But
no American dictionary lists
such words with silent, or even
a semi-silent "h."
Now to get back to our rule:
Use "a" before words beginning
with a consonant SOUND:
Not: I'VE stayed at an hotel"
The "h" is clearly pronounced;
therefore: We stayed at a hotel.
Not: HE is an habitual
smoker" Better: He is habit
ual smoker.
Not: He is an European.
European begins with a vowel.
it is true: but the first syllable
is pronounced "yoo'; it there
fore begins with a consonant
sound: A European.
Use IAN" before words be-
ginning with a vowel SOUND:
Not: II had egg for break
fast" Correct: an egg.
Not: II consider 1t a honor"
Initial III in honor tAHN-er)
Is silent. Therefore: I consider
1t an honor.

GAAA paws
may as well get in the act
too, and I hereby devise the
Rule of g." The others are
undoubtedly helpful in certain
situations, and especially the rule
Of IL, but the rule of 26 applies
TO all bidding and all play.
I confess it's not my rule. but
the rule of all good bridge
players. I'm merely calling it to
your attention. It is simply this:
When you bid a hand or when
you play a hand. either often
sively or defensively, you should
think and act in terms OF 26
cards, not just your own Is,
Think of your partners hand
and yours as one unit.
There are many angles to this
question and here is one OF
them: Many players. holding a
weak hand, fail to realize how
strong partners hand may be.
It works the other way, too.
Holding a very strong hand, they
cannot visualize how weak part
ner may be.
Consider today'S deal. Hold
ing the South hand, would you
90 on to six diamonds as Mr..
Masters did? Although he held
Just one king and one queen, no
aces and no singletons, he felt
the slam bid was automatic,
And he was absolutely right.
He merely used his magma
ton. His first two bids were
forced by his partner and
guaranteed nothing in the way
of high cards. Therefore Mrs.
Keen's five-diamond bid said
this: Partner, I am willing to
contract for II tricks. knowing
nothing about your hand ex-
cept that it probably contains
at least four diamonds and four
clubs-any four diamonds and
any four clubs"
Mr.. Masters looked at his
hand. He had more than four
diamonds. He had five. Also,
he had the king Of diamonds.
Mrs. Keen must have counted on
losing a trick to that card and
zen vr,inp;ou ~ The nlyeen 0f
clubs was an added value, un-
known to her.
As q matter Of fact. although
she had a fine hand. she had
little enough for the kind Of bid
ding she put out. In any case,
Mr.. Masters was able to throw
his losing spade on dummy's
fifth club and easily fulfill his
slam contract.

Wins Reversal
.0fConviction

The U. S. Court of Appeals
for the District today reversed
the conviction of Louis Wein-
stock. second-string Communist
leader, on a charge of making
/ false statement to the Gov
lernment.
Weinstock had been sentenced
last February to serve one to
five years. He had been con-
Ivicted of falsely denying the ex-
istence in 1853 of a group known
as the United May Day Com
mittee.
That such a committee ex-
listed had been alleged in a pc
tition by Attorney General
Brownell who was seeking to
require the committee to regis
ter as a Communist-front Or
ganization.

Mr.. Brownelps petition had
been presented to the Subver-
sive Activities Control Board in
an effort to require the May Day
Committee to register. Mr.
Weinstock's affidavit pertaining
Ito the organizations name also
had been filed with the board.
Weinstock had said that dur
ling the years 1885 to 1858 the
names of the committee had
varied and that the last name by
which the committee had been
known was the United Labor
and Peoples Committee for May
Day"
In reversing the conviction,
the appellate court held that the
name of the committee was not
material to the Attorney Gen.
ERALS petition.
I'VE think no tribunal, in pass
ling either upon a petition .
would have been influenced in
THE slightest by the name by
which the committee was known,
either on May s. 1858 or at any
other time. whether the name
was United May Day Committee
or United Labor and Peoples
Committee for May Day."
