site of the university. The doc
tor knew them we'll for three
years.

enable them to level off the score
with one grand slam bid.

ministration of the immigration
laws, Secretary of Labor w. N.
Doak declared today in his first
annual report. These laws have
a two-fold purpose. he said.
The first is to protect the
social and political structure of
American civilization. The second
is to give economic protection,
particularly as to available en-

Doak declared humanization of

the benefit of the peoples of

those of the United States.

NEW DIRK, Dec. 10
(IN.S. - took advantage of
the first pause yesterday in
the bridge battle of 1,OO1
hands, in which my husband
and | are engaged with Messrs.
Sidney S. LEM and Oswald
Jacoby, testing the respective
merits of the approach-forcing
and official systems of con-
tract bidding, to attend the
theater.
The play was interesting and I
enjoyed the change of scene, but
1 confess that many times my
mind wandered to the bridge
table, analyzing and reanalyzing
the hands. So much so that
after the theater. stopped at the
Cavandish for a few rubbers of
bridge.
Even On Kings
1 have just completed the
analysis of the cards held in the
first ten rubbers, which, by the
way required SO hands. I find
that in these rubbers we held, all
told, ia aces as against 122 held
by our opponents.
Peculiarly enough, the statistics
revealed that each side has held
118 kings. These figures are in
measure significant of the drop
of the cards. ....
For instance, Tuesday night we
held "a aces and 73 kings, while
Messrs. Lenz and Jacoby jointly
held 10 aces and II kings. The
difference in score on that eve
ming was $50 points, which was
accounted for by the fact that
our opponents bid and made a
slam.
On the first evening of play
Messrs. Lenz and Jacoby had a
marked preponderance of the
aces, holding So to our 40 and
Al kings to our As. We were
fortunate indeed to escape with
a defeat of only LIS points in

WASHINGTON, D. C., June P. P)-An effort has been made to have the Treasury Department purchase the block of ground op- posite the new Federal and Ter ritorial building in Juneau, from which it is separated by road but 30 feet wide The Territory owns a lot upon which stands the building that was used for office purposes, and is willing to trans fer this to the government. The balance of the property on the block would cost about 85,000, the greatest cost being the zynda ho- tel property, which is valued at $45,000. The matter has been con- Sidered several times by board composed of Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury Ferry K. Heath, Special Assistant Leo c. Martin and Supervising Architect James A. Wetmore. They first decided that under existing law they were not authorized nor did the Treasury Department have the power to buy this adjoining land, and later decided that they would not rec ommend this purchase to the Di- rector of the Budget, so that, as it now stands. authorize ton for the
