Stage Detailed
The third stage will be a new
solid propellant rocket chosen
for its Simplicity" the Navy
said. 1t consists of a combustible
charge in a container, an igniter

gases. When it separates from
the satellite itself the shell will
follow along upwards of $500
miles above the earth until both
burn out like a meteor.

A WORD
TO THE WISE
BY MRS. FRANK COLBY

Charleston: Our English teach
er has told us that there is no
such word in the English Ian
guage as gotten" except in the
world forgotten. Will you please
discuss it?-R. P.
Answer: This same comment
has shown up in my mail sew
eral times lately. How and by
whom the idea has been spread
that gotten" is an improper
word is mystery.
Perhaps the answer lies in the
fact that in British usage got
ten seldom occurs except in
such words as ill-gotten. Any
American dictionary will show
that gotten" is the customary
past participle in the United
States. (See GET. page 1858,
Webster's New international
Dictionary, Second Edition.
OF course, got also is used
in America as the past participle
of get" But there is no reason
in grammar or logic why "gots"
is more proper than. or prefer
able to, gotten.
Either have got" or shave
gotten" is good American usage
in such constructions as these:
I have gotten tgot) well.
She has gotten (got) a new
dress.
would have gotten Cgot)
here sooner but for the rain.
Meanwhile. let me point out
that either got" or gotten" is
unnecessary in the meaning of
"own' or possess:
Avoid: "She has got brown
hair" Better: She has brown
hair,
Avoid. "He has got good dis
position. Better: He has a good
disposition.
Likewise. got" is unnecessary
in the meaning of must" or
should:
Avoid: She has got to leave
early" Better; She must tor
has to- leave early.
Avoid. He has go I to
apologize" Better: He must
thaS to- apologize.

you can't do it," Mr.. Cham
pion clustered. There's moth
ing to the hand except the heart
finesse. Either it's right and you
make nine tricks or it's wrong
and you don't. How can you set
three no-trump with club OPEN
ing?"
"Muzzy didn't open a club"
replied Mr.. Dale, patiently. He
led the ace of spades"
"Oh no." cried Mr.. Champion,
holding his head in his hands.
Wait just minute" said Mr..
Dale. 1T turned out beautifully.
Here's what happened: One the
deal before this one, Muzzy had
led fourth best from A-Q-8-5
against a suit contract.
In spite of the fact that it
got us a sensationally good re-
suit. Mr.. East saw fit to lecture
Muzzy on leading away from an
ace-queen. He said it should
never be done.
But Muzzy misunderstood. He
thought East was merely criti-
cizing the lead of the fourth best
card from such a holding and
recommending the lead of the
ace.
Anyway" Mr.. Dale continued,
"there Muzzy sat with another
ace-queen combination-and he
led the ace. Then he asked what
the contract was. Told it was
three no-trump, he appeared
quite upset. After some thought,
ne switched to the four of hearts.
THE effect of all this on East
was devastating. Natur ally
enough, he deduced that Muzzy
believed he was playing against
a suit contract and that he had
opened from an ace doubleton
in spades in the hope of getting
a third-round ruff.
EAST won the second trick with
dummy's king of hearts and led
a spade, finessing the nine from
his hand. Muzzy won with the
ten and led back the trey of
hearts.
"At this point" Mr.. Dale went
on, East was sure it was neces-
sary to keep me out of the lead
because he knew the ace OF
clubs was behind his thinly-
guarded king. He went up with
dummy's ace of hearts and took
another spade finesse. Muzzy
couldn't have another spade.
But he did. He won with the
queen. cashed the queen OF
hearts, put me in with the ace
of clubs and 1 cashed two more
heart tricks. Down three. How
do you like Muzzy's defense?"
Mr.. Champion couldn't answer
He appeared dazed.
They don't push me around,
said Mr.. Muzzy proudly.
