Subject: straight


    Members of Washington's Russian colony are avid and earnest students
of the English language.  In a recent English, class the teacher asked:
    "What is the meaning of the word 'straight'?"
    Up shot the hand of one of the more studious Russians.  He laboured a
moment, then replied:  "Taking whisky without soda."
