pines and oaks. The hooking
birds MARBLE and the blue
Jays make fancy turns against

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
By WILLIAM NORRIS

There used to be a rule Of
speechmaking to the general
effect that the successful
speaker followed the rule of
three: He told his audience
what his message was going to
be, he then delivered the mes
sage. then told the audience
what the message had been.
BY thus making his point three
times, the theory went, q
speaker would drive home the
message effectively. Presumably
the method works but an APP
palling number of boring
speeches have resulted from the
application Of this theory.
Advertisers have now made
this three repeat" technique
seem naive and old-fashioned,
though. Almost any hard-sell
TV commercial assaults the lis
teners six or seven times with
the same message in the course
Of single minute. One Of the
side effects Of this everlasting
repetition Of slogans is that the
public at large is becoming so
accustomed to repetition that
many unconsciously repetitiois
phrases are creeping into the
language.
Here, for instance, is a clip
ping from a Pittsburgh news
paper suggesting improvements
In mailboxes. One suggestion
is that they be designed so that
pedestrians can open them

A correspondent - perhaps
overexcited suggests that
foot pedals are springing up
everywhere. Perhaps you can

Webster. So foot pedal" is GER

Why Attempt

When an opponent over

Never send a boy to do a

you should not have tried To

Opening lead: Diamond king.
West takes the top diamonds,
and East signals for a con-
tinuat:on by playing the five
of diamonds first and the three
of diamonds next. West then
continues with the jack Of dia-
monds.
If South ruffs. in dummy,
East will overruff no matter
how high the dummy ruffs.
East may sneer at declarer.
and declarer may retort that
any ruff at all would suffer

Any such conversation may

Declarer goes down If he does

South makes his contract If
he discards a heart from

diamonds. This allows West to
win the third trick, but puts
South In position to ruff a
heart in dummy later on.
South eventually loses a club

trumps so as to pick up East's
king.
