Geological Survey Undertakes
 Extensive Field Projects

thracite Ridge, considerable test pitting and other manual work will be required, which will call for the services of a number of laborers.. Some of the parties will maitatn their own camps, and others will be able to obtain accomodations for much of the time at the mines, or in the settlements. Thus the work near Fairbanks will be conducted mainly from that town as a' base, whereas the parties in the Kantisna, Copper Mountain, Valdez e@' Creek Chulitna, and Anthracite Ridge dis tricts will maintain camps supplied by pack trains. Although each re zion presents different problems, the work in. each will have theaeom- mon aim of supplying as much ~fn- formation as possible in answer to the question What quantity of mineral products appears to be available that might swell the rail roads business?"
 The Alaska projects that will be financed by funds appropriated di- rectly for Geological Survey. inVesti- gations as distinguished from those carried on for the Alaska Railroad are eight in number and are dis tributed geographically as follows: Topographic mapping near Wrangell in southeastern Alaska; mining in vestigations in southeastern Alaska; general investigations in the vicinity of Glacier Bay; topographic map ping in the Klutina Lake region of the Copper River Basin; geologic investigations in the headwater DOT tions of the Copper River Valley; general studies in the western part of the tract between the Yukon and Tanana Rivers; geologic and topo- graphic exploration and reconnais- sance survey of the Tikchik Lake re- zion north of Bristol Bay; and gen. eral field studies of mineral re. sources.

It will be interesting to AlaskRns to know of the formation of the Pacific Frosted Foods, Inc, by the General Foods Corporation and the Standard oil Company of California. This company is being organized, with unlimited capital, for the com mercial development of the Birdseye quick-freezing patents on the west coast and Alaska. MT. Ernest Walker Sawyer has been giving much att tention to the development of the new company, realizing that it's methods will prove of great value in the adYanpement of the reindeer products of the north, and as con- sequence furnish much additional freight for the. Alaska Railroad.
 The Natives of Nickolsky village have sent in a petition to the dele gate, asking that their fishing rights in Umnak river be restored to them, under the Commissioner of Fisheries Henry O'Malley, who re- gently returned from an extended trip to the.@ west coast, states that there has been no closure, and that there is nothing to prevent the Natives from taking salmon in this river for local food requirements or for use for dog feed.

MARY PICKFORD IN "KIKIr AND BUCK JONES IN THE TEXAS RANGER" AT STRAND

Laughter, droll situations and love-making in delightful madcap
 fashion characterize Mary Pickford's s new talking screen version of the
 stage hit "KiKi'' which opened a three-day engagement at Warner Brothers Strand theater this after noon, head1ining a brilliant double
 feature program.
 As harum-scarum girl In love with a handsome, divorced man, portrayed by Reginald Denny, Miss Pickford wildly tackles every obsta- c1e that stands in her way, partic-
 ularly the ex-wife, played by Mar garet Livingston, who is trying with all her wiles to get him back.
 Miss Pickford' has created a
 "Kiki" who constantly wins the sym pathy of the audience and keeps 1t through rollicking moments and oc- casiona1 touches of pathos.
 Her impersonation is impetuous,
 naive, and, in the desperate battle for the one big love, bit girlishly
 mad, just as one would expect of an aspiring gamin. It is truly delicious entertainment, exactly the sort that
 has held following of millions the world over for years. In m era I in which sex is Haunted as Q lure to | tHcALCE-BOCED tlAib COHNVNtAOAA OA AVvO and comedy Is indeed refreshing.

NORTH
Tine Bidding

At either auction or contract, South would start the bidding with one heart. At auction with Vests holding, some players prefer to dou- ble to show partner support in the other major, while others will over call with one no trump. East would then show the spade suit at auction and East and West would play the hand at spades.
 At. contract the writer prefers, with Vests holding, to overcall South's one heart with one no trump to show partner as good as an original bid. North would pass, East would jump to three spades and West would take the contract to four spades.
 The Play
 South's proper opening is the ace of hearts, dummy would play the deuce, North the eight spot and East, the declarer, false-cards with the ten. but South would come right on with the queen of hearts. Before playing to this trick from dummy the dec1arer must stop and count up his hand. He has already lost a heart he is sure of losing one diamond, and he has a losing club.
 Of course, if the king of hearts will hold the trick, he can go game, but if by any chance North is out of hearts and should ruff the king, the declarer would still have to lose a diamond and club and could not go game. Therefore he must not jeopardize the much-needed king of hearts. but should play small from dummy, granting his opponents the heart trick. North would signal dia- monds by discarding the nine, and the declarer would follow with the five of hearts.
 South would still try to force the king of hearts by leading the jack. Again the declarer should play low from dummy, North would discard the three of diamonds and the de- clarer would trump with the five of spades. The declarer leads two rounds of trump-the ace and jack, picking up the opponents trump and then leads small diamond, winning in the dummy with the ace. A dia- mond is returned, South winning with the queen. South returns a heart, dummy plays the valuable king, and the three of clubs is dis carded by declarer.
 Declarer leads a small diamond, rufiing in the dummy with the queen of spades and returns a club, win- ming in his own hand with the ace. The last diamond is trumped with the kind of spades In dummy and the declarer has two good trumps. By refusing to go up with the king of hearts on the second trick, there- by preserving 1t for needed dis card. the declarer has successfully made four odd at spades.

WHAT THE PRESS AGENTS SAY
GEORGE ARLISS IN 1.-THE MILLIONAIRE" OPENS AT STATE
 TODAY; DELIGHTS AUDIENCE

Everybody in Waterbury knows "Disraeli," "The Green Goddess" and "Old English" .. .. which means leverybody expects as great an i'm lpersonation of The Millionaire and they are not to be disappointed. Audiences at Warner Brothers State theater this afternoon received with hearty approval the shrewd, lovable and waggish character. so absolutely different from any of MT Arliss' other talking picture roles. MT Arliss plays the part of James Alden, a self-made millionaire auto- mobile manufacturer, who in the quest for wealth has depleted his health. His physician advises his going west for rest cure. This Alden reluctantly does, urged by his pretty daughter Barbara, and his wife who has social ambitions.
 Time hangs heavily, the claims of society prove irksome, and he is in fear that his daughter will marry one of the idle rich. To add to his Idiscomfiture an insurance agen: tells him that retired business men are considered higher risks than those who are still active. Alden determines to get busy. and with out his family's knowledge, an- swers the ad of the owner of a gas filling station.
 l He arrives at the address just after a likable young man, Bill Mer- rick. has paid all his capital for a half interest in the garage. Posing as working man with just small amount of cash. Alden buys the other half and becomes Bills part ner. The first customer for gas is his own daughter. He keeps out of sight, and notices with interest that the young people have met before No further part of the whimsical and amusing story need he told. II is enough to say that MT Arliss brilliant repertory contains no more delightful characterization. 'The Millionaire" is picture for the whole family.
 The cast includes Florence Arliss David Manners, Evalyn Knapp
 James Cagney. Noah Beery. J. C. Nugent, Sam Hardy. J. Farrell Mac Donald and Fully Marshall. An ex- cellent surrounding program accom-" panies the picture which is shown at 2:20. 4:45, 7:00 and 9:30 p. m.
