Eliminating a Guess
There were several different ways
or South to make his contract if
le could guess which opponent
leld the ace of clubs; but the cor
ect play to the first trick made it
mnecessary to guess:
South, dealer.

The bidding:

West opened the eight of spades in
esponse to his partner's rather
habby overcall; and South had a
hoice of plays. If West held the
lub ace, a simple holdup in spades
could assure the contract. But
ust refusing to win the first trick
wouldn’t work if East held the club
ice, for that card would serve as
ntry to the established spades. So
he ‘‘normal'’ play was to win tne
irst trick if East had the club ace;
ind then dummy's spade queen
vould be a second stopper.
These assumptions were all based
>n the play of a low spade from
loth the dummy and East. But
South soon saw that he didn’t have
o guess the location of the club ace
f his first play from the dummy
,as the spade queen!
If East took the spade ace, de
larer would still have two stoppers
gainst a spade continuation. And
f East refused the first trick, the
lub ace could be knocked out safely
rhlle South still had the spade
:ing. That’s all there was to the
land—just the play of the right
ard at the first trick to eliminate
, guess.

Don't Take My
Word for It
By FRANK COLBY.
Jodhpurs
Noun. A kind of close-fitting
riding breeches.
Jodhpurs are named for the In
dian state of Jodhpur in the RaJ
putana agency. The name should
not be pronounced “JAHD-pers” or
“JAHD-fers.” The "0” in the first
syllable is long as in Joe; the second
syllable is exactly like the word
poor with an “s” added: “JOED
poors.”
(Note: Breeches should never be
pronounced “BREE-ches” to rhyme
with peaches. The correct rhyme
is with pitches, as "BRITCH-ez.”)
(Capitals Indicate syllables to be
eccented.)
Question: Is it correct to use the
word catty-cornered?
Answer: The word is properly
cater-cornered. It means diagon
ally. It is most often mispro
nounced “catty-cornered” or "kitty
cornered.” Other amusing varia
tions of the expression are: "ante
godlin; slaunchwise,” and "cata
wampous.”
Correct pronunciations:
1st choice—KAT-er-KOR-nerd.
2nd choice—KAY-ter-KOR-nerd.
Test your pronouncing I. Q. For
free pronouncing test, send a
stamped (3c), self-addressed en
velope to Frank Colby care The
Evening Star.

Answer to Yesterday's Puzzle
UNCLE RAY'S CORNER
—Salmon Eggs in Salt Water
Thousands of kinds of fish and
nlmals live in oceans, seas, rivers
,nd lakes. Many of them have ex
iting life stories, and it would be
lard to say which is "most interest
tig-”
The salmon Is among those with
,n amazing history. It also ranks
t, or near, the top In importance
a a food fish.
Most kinds of salmon spend part
f their lives in fresh water, part
n salt water. There has been a
itg question which goes like this,
Is the salmon an ocean fish which
las learned to live in rivers, or is
t a fresli water fish which has
famed to live in the ocean?
That question has not been
ettled. It anight be that salmon
ised to spend all their lives in the
cean, but left the salt water to
sy eggs in safe places. At breed
ng time, salmon eat little if any
ood. They swim up rivers, but
eldom do any more "feeding" than
A CLUSTER OF
SALMONS EGGS
A YOUNG SALMON ,
ABOUT TWO OATS OLD
snapping at a fly on the surface of
the water.
On the other hand, salmon may
have been fresh water fish, spend
ing all their time in lakes or rivers.
Some daring young members of the
family may have swum out into
the sea, to look for food. Finding
plenty of food there, they would
grow to good size.
It seems likely to me that sal
mon were fresh-water fish long,
long ago. In tests, salmon eggs
have failed to hatch when placed
In salt water. Eggs must hatch If
fish are to live I
Salmon eggs usually are laid In
rivers in the autumn of the year.
In some places, but not as a rule,
they are laid after the close of
autumn, in late December or even
January.
Most salmon lay their eggs In
the headwaters of a river, where
the water is shallow. There Is
not so much danger of enemies
finding and eating the eggs in such
a location.

leaflet entitled "Background of
European War” send me a 3-cent
stamped, self-addressed envelope
