He then ruled dutnmy's last
spade. led his last diamond and
ruled IT. Only now did he
touch the clubs. He led the
i've from dummy and played
the 10 from his hand.
Mrs. Keen won with the Jack.
At this point her hand was not
stripped Of everything but
clubs. she still had q dia-
mond IN her hand. But the
effect was the same. On a
spade or diamond return Mr..
Champion would simply run in
dummy while discarding the
queen Of clubs from his hand
Naturally. the club return would

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

Milwaukee. Wis: We often
hear comedians on television
and radio say. THAT certainly
laid an egg" when one Of their
jokes does not get q laugh from
the audience. Can. you tell me
where this expression came
from? u. c. Heller.
Answer: Believe 1t or not.
this expression originated In
the very British game of
cricket. When q player failed
to score. he was said to have
achieved q ducks egg"-an al
fusion to the resemblance be-
tween a ducks egg and the
figure zero.
As baseball became popular
in this country. the term was
domesticated as ''goose-egg'
and, In the days when sports
page prose was more luxuriant
than It is today. you might
read Of Walter johnson setting
down the opposing team for
mine consecutive goose4eegs.
Gradually the goose"
dropped out Of the expression
and 1t became Q favorite Of
vaudevillians in such express
Sions as The new comic opened
in one and really laid an egg. I"
From vaudeville to radio and
TV was the shortest Of jumps.
In q recent column. the word
Ajax" for antiaircraft IRE was
discussed. in light OF the sug-
gestion by one reader that 1t
really could be traced back to
World War I. although none
of the standard language ref
erence books lists it as existing
prior TO World War II. / haz-
arded the theory that the term
may have been known to mill
tary professionals during the
earlier war but not popularized
until the air raids OF World
War II.
Several readers, including
Rear Admiral d. P. Tucker,
USN. retired, have convinced me
that this theory Is sound.
Writes Admiral Tucker: FLAX
did appear in World War I.
When 1t reappeared in World
War II. I remember making q
mental note that the British
we're using the old World War /
term. while we used the term
"A. A. Fire I think you are
correct in deducing that the
term was largely confined to
military people until World
War II" Many thanks, adj
miral. for this authoritative
confirmation Of my theory and
for your valuable footnote to
one record Of wartime additions
to our language.

The United Auto Workers
Union says IL will appeal q find-
ing by a National Labor Rela-

JAW members fired during the
marathon Kohler Co. strike
have no claim to reinstatement.
But o JAW spokesman lndi-
Gated the union generally APP
proved the findings Of Examiner
George A. Downing. who held
yesterday that the 3ia-year-
old JAW strike against the
Kohler. Wis. Arm had been
prolonged by unfair labor prac-
tees on the part Of the COM
pany.
The company had no imme-
date comment.
Mr.. Downing said Kohler had
failed and refused to bargain in
good faith most Of the time
since June l, 1854. He also held
that nearly all strokers whose
Jobs had not been filled by June
!. 1854. should be reinstated
upon application when the
strike ends.
Firings Called Unlawful
The examiner found the COM
pany lawfully dismissed 80
strikers for misconduct, and
the Is members Of the union
strike committee for directing
mass picketing at the plant.
The committee included all
principal officers Of the local.
But. Mr.. Downing continued.
IS other strikers released for
! misconduct had not been en-
! gagged in activities Sufficiently
serious to warrant discharge.
His findings now go to the
full NLRB. They may be APP
pealed within 20 days.
In Detroit. the JAWS Secre-
tary treasurer. Emil Macy,
said the examiners findings 'is
100 per cent confirmation of
the unions position that this
company was and is engaged in
unfair labor practices"
But. he added. the union will

|. that q small number Of mem
bers Of our local union have no
claim to reinstatement.
Ready to Resume Talk
In the meantime we hold
ourselves in readiness for a re-
! sumption Of negotiations and
we would hope that the COM
pany. IN view Of this decision,
would be prepared to meet with
Us in collective bargaining on a
more sane and rational basis
than exhibited In the past"

George Bowers, who re-
tired from the auditing depart
ment last January. Is really
enjoying his leisure. He says
there aren't enough hours in
the day to do everything he
wants. He has his hands full
ct the moment remodeling his
bathroom. When he's not
busy with that and gardens
Ing. he plays with his grand-
children and watches tele-

This little story appeared
the other day IN q corporations

ture Of George. dressed In his

they have added TO your belief

Here are the details behind
this one particular ease OF
George - whose name has
been changed. They aren't the
same for every man who gets
his picture in the company
magazine. but they are fairly
typical.
Retirement Income
George walked Oh his lob,

In return George decided the
house TO the three children, e.
fective after Nom died.
Sick Of Job
George was sick to death OF
the bathroom Job. which Nom
had been nagging him about
since he retired last January,
At the time the story about
him appeared he would have
been quite happy 70 swap the
whole bathroom for Q back
yard privy.
The gardening had been In
teresting up until early August.
Then he LET the bugs have il.
As for the grandchildren,
whom he loved. he was Begin
ming To find that TO play with
them meant 10 tend them.
Whenever he went over TO see
them, he found their mothers
always remembered IS minutes
later that they had an errand
to do. and would be back soon.
George didn't hurt anywhere,
50 was not going 10 q doctor for
periodic checkups. WHY that
expense? He had turned down
. chance 70 go to work part
time with q tax lawyer for $50
. week. 'And give UP my So
cial Security"
Wasn't Dreaming
He had no plans. and he
wasn't dreaming about any
thing. He was bored much Of
the day. Friends who were
still working had no time for
him. Those who had retired
had drifted away.
He was something Of q prob
lem to his wife. and frequently
went out for walks TO get out
Of the way. He felt secure
enough. He didn't have the
energy or the courage TO lift
himself out Of hig retirement
nut.
The moral Of all this: Don't
be led into believing that
bathrooms and grandchildren
are the golden years. Don't let
social security become q disease

can make more money else
