Frank Adams Family
Like Oklahoma Home

The Sentinel is in receipt of an
interesting letter from Mrs. Frank
Adams written January 28 from
Ardmore, Oklahoma, where the
Adams family has resided for the
past eighteen months. An excerpt
from the letter follows:
"Ardmore is dull as it is every
where else. We are all hunting
around the corners for Mr.. Pros
perity, who seems to keep we'll con-
cealed so far.
'The winter has been mild here.
But there have been buckets and
barrels of rain. 1 believe the Alas
ka rain has hunted us down here
and decided to visit us awhile to
keep us from getting homesick.
There has been no snow in this
locality. The Arbuckle Mountains
twenty miles north of us protect
us from the Northers. We had a
very hot summer. 1t was a hundred
and ten and twelve in the shade
at times. The heat in the day did
not bother us, but the hot nights
kept us restless. People slept out
on the lawns seeking relief from
the heat and some nervous people
kept the police busy investigating
dead men. Pop corn popped on
the cobs in the fields. However the
change has done us worlds of good.
We are in better health than when
In Alaska. Jane is growing tall and
Is going to school every day.
After living in Alaska so many
years 1t Is still a novelty to us to
get daily newspapers and mail de-
livered at our door every day.
Best wishes to all our old Wran-
CELL friends"

corner of America owe ra nation
wide hook-up.
Following his address, President
Hoover will be escorted to the East
steps of the Capitol, and will give

The great chorus gathered at
the Capitol will be conducted by
Walter Damrosch and will be &C
companied by the United States
Army, Navy and Marine bands
which will play as a unit under the

Delirium BeSetS
Man Lost in Woods

c. A. shorty Darrow who mas
spent the winter at the Smith IoA
ranch at Vank Island had a pucu-
mar experience last week.
barrow with J. q. Smith anu
Cap Anderson had gone to the
east end OF Vank Island to get d
wood log. When the men had secur-
ed the log and were ready to start
home barrow decided that as tue
water was so rough he would not
return in the roWboat, but Woulu
cut across the point, a twenty min
utes walk through the woods, to us
cabin near the Smith home.
When Smith found on Thursday
morning that barrow had not re-
turned he took mis- gasboat and
cruised around the island search
ing the beach but could find no
trace of the missing man.
Early Friday morning barrow
came staggering into Smiths home
in a delirious and exhausted con
dition and with two fingers anG
one toe frozen. In making the cut
through the woods on Wednesday
he had lost his way and evidently
fear and despair had gotten the best
of him as it grew dark for he be-
came possessed of all manner of
Authorizations.
He saw ladies in pink dresses
ascending and descending stairs,
which wasn't so bad but when he
thought he saw men hanging IRON
the trees he was afraid to go out
OF the woods and afraid to stay in.
Throughout the SO hours he was
lost he was never far from the Smith
buildings, but after becoming uo
lirious whenever he emerged from
the woods and saw the buildings
he fancied they were peopled by
enemies who would add him to the
list of men hanging from trees and
he went back into the woods.
barrow was given first aid treat
ment and was soon on his way to
recovery.

ever leaders enacted a squirt. Some
traders believe a new bull market
has been started.

The. old empress lives in the glor

past greatness.
Through the great power Of Miss

attempt Of the aged empress to re-

Here is powerful dramatic artiS-
try. Here is character work of the
finest and most intelligent style.
Here is emotional work that would
tax the endurance of even older
women, meaning older as to length
of experience on the stage. Here
is a gem of work that I will always
remember and there are a lot of
things on the stage that I want to
forget.

The Bidding

GilS LWO 4L1ulflOud1 INdSVcIS GOuIIld-
ment.
The Bidding
Frey held the South hand. We
were using the strong no trump
preference opening, therefore Frey
started the bidding with one no
trump rather than one heart, as
his hand is stronger led up to than
through.
West passed and I overcalled
with threei clubs. Frey now cor
rectly decided that the most i'm
portant cards he could show were
his three clubs to the queen, so
he bid four clubs.
His bid of one no trump had in
formed me that he had every suit
stopped. His bid of four clubs as
sured me of the queen of clubs.
1 also was quite confident that he
held the king of diamonds, so my
next bid was four diamonds, to
show him where my side strength
lay.
Frey then bid six no trump.
I responded with seven clubs, to
show a. long club suit ard Frey
went to seven no trump.
Two pairs stopped at six no
trump-one pair played the hand
at seven clubs-but top score on
the board was seven no trump.
There is no play to the hand
as Frey has thirteen cold tricks.
