LIMIT ON ROAD FUNDS ANOTHER
 YEAR PROPOSED
House Subcommittee Rec ommends Curtailment of
 Forest Highway Money

That there is strong proba- bility of continued limitation of Forest Highway funds for Alaska during the next fiscal year was indicated in advices received here today from Washington. These said the House subcommittee on the Department of Agriculture supply bill had recommended not more than $35O,000 be made available for expenditure in the Territory for the year beginning July 1, 1883.
 A similar provision was written into the Dill last Spring, upsetting the entire road construction pro- gram in National Forest sections of Alaska. It effectively prevented the regular allotment being made to the Territory, which would have amounted to more than $S00,000, this year.
 It also tied up an accumulated fund from previous similar appro- priations, fund that was in ex- cess of $80O00O. The bill last Spring prohibited the expenditure of more than $35O000 from unexpended balances of other allotments and the allotment of 1932-33. Repre- sentations were made to the House Committee at the hearings that Alaska did not cooperate in either

THOMAS BUXTON IS RESCUED BY. SEARCH P ARTY.
Missing Local Man Found III with Influenza in
 Seymour Canal Camp

After five-day search in the Seymour Canal district, Thomas Buxton, local Indian, who was re- ported missing on December 10, was found last Thursday about 12 miles below the head of the Canal by Capt. A. c. Hayes and c. o. Barker.
 Buxton was suffering from in fluenza and had been ill about two weeks. He had been living on clans and other sea food for several days and was in bad shape. Sup plies were left with him by Hayes.
 He was camped in fairly conI- fortable spot at the head of a small bay on the Glass Peninsula side of the Canal. AS all bays were heavily iced in, Hayes and Barker were not able to move him to their own camp on barge in Oliver's Inlet. They returned to their own camp for additional supplies which they took to Buxton last Saturday, and on account of their own boat getting iced in, were forced to mush back to Divers Inlet. They reported today to United States Commissioner Charles Sey, saying Buxton needed more provisions and probably would be able to be nov ed in about two weeks.

 Stric ken in House

Acting on the suggestion made by Delegate James Wickersham, the Juneau Chamber of Commerce has telegraphed the Senate Fl- nance Committee urging continua- ton of appropriations for geologi- cal investigations in the Terri tory, it was announced today. The funds for this work were elimin- ated from the Interior Department supply bill last week by the House Appropriations Committee.
 The Territorial Chamber of Com merce has wired all its members in the Territory urging them to take similar action without delay. Aid will also be sought from Se- attle. Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles Chambers.
 Tn it's wire to the Senate Con- mittee. the Chamber said:
 Respectfully request continuation Of Alaska mineral resources. Dis continuance would seriously retard development of Alaska as they are highly valuable to companies and individuals. Mining is attracting more attention from investors than any other industry at this time. WoIld like you to restore at least part of total to keep organization together but there really is justi- fication for total appropriation. We agree as to necessity of cutting un- important items but this is not in that class"

Long Political Career Re, gently Halted by

SEATTLE, Dec. 19.-Tne long career of State Legislator Fred Hastings, who represented the Queen Anne Hill district since 1911, has been ended by his sudden death from pernicious anemia.
 Death came while he was plann- ing to contest his recent defeat, the first in his career, to the coming Legislature. He was beaten by George Loveioy, a Democrat, by IT votes.
 Hastings lost his suit in the Superior Court to force a recount.

by state governments and pay ments on coffee loans.
 To Prune State Debts
 To meet the problem of state and municipal foreign indebtedness which takes up more than 40 per cent of the lump sum. a govern men commission has suggested that the Federal government sane ton agreements between creditors and debtors in line with financial and economic possibilities of debt or states"
 The proposal was advanced by Major Juarez Tavora, who has stu died the state foreign debt ques- ton for the Federal government.
 He has pointed out that reve- nue of some states does not equal interest charges on defaulted ob- legations.
 Pay Rothschilds First
 Refunding and other agreements are proposed as cures for state and municipal issues which re- quire such surgical methods.
 The Federal government, by drastic exchange control, has concentrated on paying off $-0,- 100000 debt to the Rothschilds of London and then proceeding with it's funding plans When payment of the Rothschilds obligation is completed, the treasury will be in a much better position to tackle it's foreign debt problem as a whole.

low the line. The remaining 70 points
must be scored above the line.
Again, let us suppose that we bid
three no trump and made seven. The
total vaule of these tricks would be
24O points, but we can score only the
value of the three bid tricks, name
ly, 100 points, below the line.
The balance Of 140 points would
be scored above the line.
=
CUPPOSE we make one no trump
~ and then make one no trump
again on the next hand. Does the
second trick in that case count 30
or 40 points?
In that case, each trick counts
80 points, for each. trick is the first
trick of that hand.
Therefore, it is perfectly possible
to make one no trump three times
in succession and still not make
game.
This appeared little strange,
and so it is, but few of us can re-
member case where exactly one
no trump was made on three sue
cessive hands.
One no trump plus two no trump
does produce q game and we have
the peculiar anomaly that one plus
one plus one does not equal one
plus two.
The basis of all undertrick PEN
alties is the following series of num-
bers: 100. $50, $50, 700, 1000.
The player who has memorized
that series need have no trouble
figuring out any penalty he is likely
to encounter.
They give these penalties for /,
2, 3.l4 and undertricks, respectively,
when doubled and not vulnerable.
The penalties for undoubled, vulner-
able, are exactly the same.
Use double the amount for dou-
bled, vulnerable. or redoubled, not
vulnerable, and four times the
amount for redoubled, vulnerable.
BY using these simple memory
aids, any one who understood the
old scoring should have no trouble
with the new.

There was a moments silence.
Linda felt suspense vibrating in the
still air. Shaughnessey had spoken
courteously, but with determination.
Tom now must make up his mind
whether to answer with perfect
frankness or whether to continue
his policy Of seeming to tell every
thing without giving certain definite
information.
While he hesitated, the Irishman
leaned forward and as a match was
struck Linda caught the CLEAN in

was defiance in them-almost bra
vado-and in the twist Of his lips,
too.

the line for him to take; if inno-

had brought them on his way out

THIS new contract scoring has

one who claims to keep abreast of
the times in his bridge

proper information when he most

receive a great many letters
every day inquiring about the new
no trump count and many Of my
readers are not quite sure when a
trick counts 80 and when it counts
40.
The new undertrick penalties also
are difficult to remember, for no
two tricks have the same value.
Today I am going to suggest a cou-
pie of mathematical short cuts
which should be of assistance in re-
membering the new count.
n n
THE new no trump scoring be-
Il comes very simple if we handle
it in the following way: Just score
the no trump tricks at the same
values as before, but drop the last
five whenever it occurs.
For example, one no trump counts
80 instead of 35; three no trump
counts 100 instead of 105; five no
trump counts ITO instead of IT'S.
Two no trump, four no trump and
six no trump do not end in five, and
therefore count 70, 140 and 210, re-
spectively, as they always did.
There is a complication where
part of the tricks are bid for and
part of them are overtricks, but
this also can be handled simply.
Let us suppose that we bid one no
trump and made three. The total
value of the tricks is 100 points. but
of that only the value of the one bid
trick. namely, 80, can be scored be-
