The bidding:
South West North East.

3 NT Pass Pass Pasa
Opening lead, two of hearts.
In almost every no-trump contract
declarer is faced with the problem
of which suit to attack in the hope
of developing a sufficient number
of tricks to fulfill his contract. The
oroper selection depends upon a
. ariety of circumstances. Very fre
quently it is vital to keep one of
he opponents out of the lead and,
herefore, the selection of the suit
o work on will be determined by
hat factor. In other words, finesses
vill be taken so that if they lose
he trick will go to the other hand.
•Vhere everything else is equal de
•larer should, as a rule, attack the
suit that will provide the greater
number of tricks.
In today s hand we have another
factor. That is the ability to try
both suits, if they are tried in the
proper sequence. Two chances must
be better than one.
West elected to lead the two of
hearts, East followed with the king
and South saw no point in holding
up since it would be impossible to
exhaust East of hearts. He was
faced with the problem of whether
to attack spades or diamonds. Since
the spades had more body, he en
tered dummy with a diamond and
finessed the jack. This lost and
three heart tricks were cashed.
When the spades failed to break de
clarer was not able to develop his
ninth trick. “Tough luck, partner.'*
ne was heard to say, "I had two
chances, either the spade finesse or
the spade break Both went wrong ’*
This complaint against fate was not
fully justified. There was another
chance open to him which he had
not tried.
There is a good chance that tha
diamonds will break three-two. A
diamond should therefore be con
ceded at once and the enemy will
cash three heart tricks. Now if the
diamonds fail to break declarer may
fall back on the spade finesse as
an additional chance.
The objection might be raised
that the opening lead of the deuce
of hearts may be a false one and
that West may be leading from a
five-card suit. The way to check up
on this is to pass the first trick
and notice which heart East re
turns. If it^ is a low one, as in this
case the six, you are entitled to as
sume that East is returning from
four and that the opening lead was,
therefore, honest.
It should be noted that while the
location of the queen of spades was
a 50-50 chance the odds were defi
nitely against the spades breaking,
because an even number of cards

Odds and Ends.
Grand Junction: Please give the
origin and pronounciation of the
word khaki.—M. A.
Answer—Khaki is a Hindu word
meaning ‘dust-colored." Uniforms
of dust-colored drill are said to
have been first worn by British and
native troops in India in 1848. To
day any drab or green-grav uniform
is called khaki. In America khaki
is universally pronounced: KACK
ee. to rhyme with "wacky.” But our
dictionaries still naively list the
word with the British pronouncia
tion: KAH-ki, the “i” short as in
"kit.”
Toledo: Which is the correct spell
ing, "pernickety" or "persnickety”?
—D. A.
Answer—The expression "per
nickity" is listed in Farmer's Dic
tionary of Americanisms <18891 as:
"A New England colloquialism sig
nifying fastidious: overparticular.”
It perhaps was coined from "partic
ular" plus "finicky." It is my belief,
however, that the form "persnickety”
<’or "persnickitv”) prevails today
among the relatively few persons
who use the expression.
Monticello: A nationally known
news analyst pronounces Miami as
"mee-AH-mee.” Correction, please.
—V. S.
Answer—Correct, my-AH-mee.
Camden: What is the origin of the
! word Baptist?—Mrs. M. P.
Answer—Its from the Greek word
baptein, "to dip in water.”
Troy: You say “heinous" is pro
nounced "HAY-nuss." Wow! From
now on. then. I’ll pronounce “ei" as
ay" in such words as height, heifer,
ceiling, receive.—Reader.
Answer—The digraph “ei" does
spell "ay" in many words, such as
weight, freight, neigh, neighbor,
sleigh, deign.

Print the letter opposite the word from
