WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
By WILLIAM MORRIS

Readers Of this column need
not be told that your word man
regards the words get" and
got" as among the more sorely
abused and overused words in
our language. Comment to
this effect recently brought the
following note from Mrs. Helen
Burbank Of San Bernardino,
Calf. Il got the usual pleasure
out Of your recent gotten
article" she writes. $50 I went
and got this exercise and am
getting 1t into the mail. as
soon as I can get q stamp. I
hope your readers will get as
much fun as I got trying TO get
rid of the gets"
The exercise" Mrs. Burbank
mentions runs in part like this:
ZONES is not getting along in
the job he just got. is he? He
doesn't get his work done and
he gets angry If you try TO get
him to get more help. He gets
down early and is the last to
get away at night but he won't
get any thanks for working so
hard. He'll merely get sick.
get behind in his work and
finally get fred"
That's enough. ! think. to
prove two things: First. that
get" is a very valuable and
useful word; second. that it
can become appallingly boring
when used to excess.
So q good rule in writing and
in speech is to glance back over
what you have written or pay
close attention to what you
have said. asking yourself:
Has get got me?"
II you monitor your speech
and writing with this easy-to-
remember question. you'll soon
find that you'll be holding the
gets" and "gots" down to an
acceptable minimum-and your
conversation and letters will be
brighter by far for the elimina-
ton Of the repetition of mo-
notonous get" got" and

Opening lead: Spade queen.
Mr.. Champion. who never
makes an error the never adj
mitted one. anyway. had COM
Inented: "You never make any
differences from the fall OF the
cards, Muzzy. In fact you pay
absolutely no attention to what
your opponents play"
This remark was put to him
n a somewhat embarrassing
position after the play Of to-
days deal.
The queen Of spades was
opened and the defenders
quickly collected three tricks
in that suit. At trick four the
shift was to q diamond and
Mr.. Champion won on the
board with the king.
Clearly the only remaining
problem was how to avoid the
loss Of q trump trick. Mr..
Champion gave q lot Of thought
to the possible distribution of
the outstanding hearts. He pic
tured himself as the hero in
making one of his favorite
plays. This dream involved
leading the deuce Of hearts
from dummy and finessing the
queen.
The queen would hold and
he would then 60 to the board
with the ace Of clubs and lead
the jack of hearts. That would
be a killing play, simultaue-
ously trapping the lone ten en-
his left and guarded king on
his right.
But this was all q waste of
time. When the deuce Of hearts
was led at trick i've Mr.. Dale
promptly played the king.
Unlike Mr.. Muzzy, Mr..
Champion does pay attention
to what the defenders play. II
Mr.. Dale had started with the
lone king Of hearts. then Mr..
Masters had three to the ten
left in his hand. So, after win
ming with the ace of hearts.
Mr.. Champion led q small
heart and finessed dummy's
nine. Mr.. Dale won the setting
trick with the ten spot.
There was dead silence for
Q moment. Then Mr. Muzzy
asked: "Is this q typical ex-
ample Of what happens when
you pay attention to what the
opponents play?" He turned to
Mr.. Dale and continued: Hes
making differences while you're
making singleton tens. Nuts.

Ray Right Sues
Town OF Mt. Lake
For S2O,OOO.O0

Ray Knight of Mt. Lake Park,
through his attorney, E. J. Ryan,
of Cumberland, has sued the Mayor
and City Council of Mt. Lake Park
for 10000 charging the latter with
communicating his property with
sewage.
The suit was filed Saturday in
the office of the clerk of the Cir
cult court, Richard L. Davis.
In his declaration the plaintiff
contends that around July 10 the
Mayor and Council by their agents,
while installing and repairing a
sewer line which carried sewage
from a great number of properties
in the municipality, failed to
make arrangements for handling
of said sewage during the period
of said repairs and installment of
new sewer lines, and that without
leave or authority from the plain
tiff and in direct violation of his
rights, the Mayor and Council
turned all of said sewage into the
lake belonging to the plaintiff, and
have allowed a great amount of
sewage, filth and garbage and
other refuse to flow into the lake
and have contaminated and cor
rupted waters thereto and has
created a condition which has been
detrimental to the health of per-
sons using the lake"
He further declared that as a
result the health officer has or
dered that swimming cease in the
lake and that fishing also be
halted.
He says he will be put to con-
siderable expense to attempt TO re-
move the debris and corruption
which has been placed there.
Knight owns the area commonly
called mt. Lake" which he says
for many years has been used fol
fishing and bathing purposes and
yields a substantial income.
