WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
By WILLIAM MORRIS

Question: Is the word "chaw"
in the English language? While
playing Scrabble. my friend used
the word. l could not find 1t in
my dictionaries, but she said
she could find it in hers. If so.
is it an accepted word in our
language? Mrs. Ruth Toni
nello, Chicago, III.
Answer: There is indeed such
Ia word in English-and it has
been SO since 1880, according to
the Oxford dictionary. It means
to chew, especially to chew some
substance which is not to be
swallowed, such as tobacco. 1t
also appears as a noun in such
phrases as "a chaw of tobacco. I"
The dictionaries variously label
chaw as "inelegant" or vulgar"
but since 1t is not labeled "slang, :"
l should consider it acceptable
in game of Scrabble.
Question: If remember COR
rectly, 1t seems to me that in
high school we learned that one
should say plan to come" and
try to come" and not plan on
coming" or TRY and come" We
were taught that these last two
were incorrect English. yet now
adays one hears them quite
frequently. Has constant use
made them correct? After all,
a lot can happen in 80 years.
E. A. c., Milwaukee.
Answer: A distinction is made
nowadays between formal and
informal usage. Formal English
is appropriate for speeches. SER
mons. serious writing and the
conversation Of educated per-
subsequently, when dealing
with topics of a serious nature.
Informal or. as 1t is sometime
called. general" usage includes
ordinary conversation and all
writing Of nonformal nature
letters, newspaper articles and
so on.
The phrases plan to come
and try to come" would now bel
classified as formal" while the
other phrases-far from being
"incorrect"-are perfectly ac-I
ceptable in an informal con-
text. 1t is worth noting too that
the formulation TRY and" may
be found even in the writings of
such authors as Matthew Arnold.
Verdict: II you're writing al
formal report or addressing a.
serious meeting. use the TRY to-
or plan to" form. II YOU'RE
chatting with friends. use the
informal try and" or plan on.

spade from the board, hoping
to get in by ruffing a second
round of that suit. Mr.. Muzzy
finally did something right,
barging in with the king of
spades and returning a club,
which Mrs. Keen ruffed for the
setting trick.
There are some hands where
no line of play offers complete
safety and you just have to dc
the best you can. Mr.. Abel's
best shot was to try to cash
three club tricks. beginning at
trick two. Admittedly this in
volved some risk. but some risk
had to be taken on the hand,
AS the cards were distributed

and then leading a diamond
almost certainly would have re-

contract.

"UPsET THE APPLICANT.

FARM RACE: This phrase
was widely used around 1896
when farmers in England began
a race to get their fruit to mar
ket before others so that the
selling price would be higher.
Special carts were made for
carrying apples. but at night
farmers would knock over carts
to prevent competition. We now
use the phrase for interfering or
plans. George Bernard
Shaw revived its use in modern
times in his play THE Apple
Cart" Oddly enough. the
Romans had a similar saying.

CONTRACT
BRIDGE
By EAsLEY BLACKWOOD

Today's hand involves some
good and bad bidding as well as
some very bad playing. Ger
tainly Mr.. Muzzy should have
decided to raise his partners
spades rather than to "show his
diamonds" He never did get
around to supporting spades and
so his side missed what would
have been a profitable sacrifice
at four spades. In fact if Mr..
Muzzy had raised his partner
Immediately 1t is quite possible
that Mr.. Dale would not have
been able to enter the bidding
and two or three spades might
have been the final contract.

SElBY Wins POLICE AWARD

Sergeant Gordon Selby be-
came the twentieth Phoenix po-
lice officer to win the annual
"Officer of the Year" award OF
the Luke-Greenway Post of the
American Legion. Presentation
of a coveted gold badge, Slgnl-
flying the honor, was made at
a dinner given at the Post on
the evening of April 16. Selby,
who joined the force in 1916,
won the award for his OutStand-
ing police work in stalking out"
a counterfeit operation more
than a year ago while assigned
to the detective division. This
and the fact that Selby has been
the departments pistol cham
pion during the past three years,
and is leading the 1857 compe-
tition. were the factors leading
to his selection. In winning the
1856 championship, he scored
997.2 out of a possible 1000
points. The near perfect score
is recognized as the highest re-
ported to the National Rifle AS
sociation. Selection was made by
a committee of five fellow Of

Blooms Greeting Spring
In National Capital Parks

Indications of early spring
Towering among plants and
shrubs in the National Capital
Park system have been noted by
park foremen and should attract
public attention this week end,
Park Supt. Edward j. Kelly said
Friday.
The most profuse bloom will be
seen in the pansy beds of West
Potomac Park near the Tidal Ba-
sin Inlet Bridge. During the
heights of blossom. park officials
estimate that as many as $780, 900
blossoms are visible in these beds.
There is also a scattering of
pansy blooms in Lafayette Park.
Jonquil beds along the Rock
Creek and Potomac Parkway are
beginning to show color, and for
sythia bushes scattered through
out the park reservations are
partially in bloom. In Meridian
Hill Park, the fragrant bush
honeysuckle and white Pierce
Japonica are coming into flower.
There are also blossoms on the

called. in MOntrOse Park and

Arboretum
Aids Huntfor
New Trees

A number of new and highly
desirable shade and ornamental
trees for home and street plant
ing are now being developed in
nurseries and botanical gardens
throughout the country. says DR..
Henry T. Skinner, director of
the Department of Agriculture's
National Arboretum.
Many such excellent trees on
the market are limited in use
because they require special
soil and climate. For example,
trees such as the honey locust
and English hawthorn do well
through a broad section of the
Midwest but do not thrive in
some sections of the East.
Towering dogwood, a popular
small ornamental. flourishes in
acid soil but will not grow under
alkaline conditions or in heavily
compacted clays.
New controlled breeding pro-
grams promise to produce more
adaptable trees for the future.
One of the first products of such
a planned tree-breeding program
at the national Arboretum is a
narrow. pyramidal hybrid of red
and silver maple. which scientists
hope will carry the good qualities
of both.
Other sources of new trees in
clude imports from foreign coun-
tries, selections from botanical
collections in this country,
chance seedlings. and chance
sports which sometimes develop
on single branch Of an other
wise normal tree. New tree Sc
lections now being propagated
from these sources include lower
growing naples. columnar cherry.
globe linden. golden sycamore.
and eucommia "a hardy rubber
tree.
Short supply of propagating
material slows down the increase
Of these new tree selections. 1t
will be several years before any
of them are generally available.
In many cases. a new selection
is often represented by a single
tree. so that in any one year
there are only a few cuttings or
grating scions available. Some
trees will not produce true to
form from seed. Others produce
seed which does not terminate.
Even when seed propagation
works, it takes at least or S
years to produce salable tree.
