there are skiers in such remote
and unexpected places as Mount
Kilimanjaro in Africa, the
ancient Cedars of Lebanon,
Morocco, Kashmir, Hawaii and
Japan.
Skiing for many has become
a fundamental part Of winter
existence. You can hardly avoid
meeting skiers, who will insist on
comparing notes.

be called a handful of faddists.

ton and incidentals.
In the early 193Os. the average
citizen looked on skiing as a
Scandinavian form of suicide.
When the railroads launched
their special snow trains to the
Northlands, just few of the
fanatics made the trip.
With the arrival of the 1882
Winter Olympics at Lake Placid,
bringing to the Adirondacks the
worlds foremost skiers; with the
invasion of foreign ski instruc-
tors to teach the sports funda-
mentals in the mid-1930S and
the subsequent opening of slopes
and trails and the introduction
of lifts and lows, skiing really
began to grow.
Today, skiing is big business.
From the White Mountains of
New Hampshire to the Sierra
Nevadas in California, the coun-
try's snow belt is dotted with
resorts. both lavish and informal.
Even farmers have seen in
snow an added source of revenue
for the off-season. They have
hoisted inexpensive rope lows on
upper stretches of pasture slopes
and chase the cows out of the
barn so that skiers can have a
place to drink and eat.
No longer are the snow trains
alone hauling many thousands of
skiers to the popular snowlands.
Motor transportation, too, is re-
Isponsible for the influxes.
Long before the ski sport was
even known in this country, the
late Fridtjof hansen, ski his
torian, humanitarian and states
man of Norway, wrote (1895):

From the above, the case for
skiing is drawn up so that those

facts before them. Then, if they

one can doubt them, no one, that

was nothing better to try, so he
led dummy's Jack of diamonds
and got rid Of a club.
Pleased that everybody had
followed suit, he now switched to
a trump. But Mr.. Muzzy proved
to have two sure trump tricks
and these, with the ace Of dia-
monds and a club trick, set the
contract.
OF course Mr.. Abel should
have led the last diamond from
the board at trick four and dis
carded his last club. This play
could not lose and, in this case,
would have gained a trick. 1t
was a safety play against the
possibility that Mr.. Muzzy held
all four outstanding trumps.
The effect of 1t would have
been to deposit loser on a loser
or, in other words, to get rid of
two losers on one trick.
Here was a case where good
defense would have put the con-
tract down two. The opening
lead and Mr.. News return gave
Mr.. Abel chance to pick up one
trick but, as Mrs. Keen re-

A WORD
TO THE WISE
BY MRS. FRANK COLBY

Waco: Is there any difference
between the recommendations OF
the word 'lived" in these two
sentences: % He has long lived
in this city. (2) He comes Of a
long-lived family.-G.E.
A. In the first sentence "lived"
is verb. and has the short 81"
sound as in give" In the second
sentence 'long-lived" is an adj
Ijective meaning 'having q long
life" The 81" Of lived" is long
as in "dived, strived," therefore,
say: long-LYVD.
Milwaukee: In my English
class I was asked to flnd the
meaning Of "potboiler" as used
in connection with books. I've
been unable to do it. Can you
help me?-R.A.D.
A. A "potboiler" is a book
written quickly. turned out hur-
riedly, to hit a profit on the
market. Specifically a potboiler
is a book, painting, musical COM
position or the like, which is
hastily done in order to keep
the pot boiling: that is. in order
to keep abreast Of current ex-
Ipenses, instead of with any idea
of creating something of endur-
ing worth. Such an "artist" is
also spoken Of as a pot boiler
one whose main objective is to
keep the pot boiling.
Ossining: Which is preferred:
"a raise in salary" or "a rise in
salary"?-G.T.
A. Best American usage pre-
fers: A raise in salary.
