Not long ago. geographically, the

Pc basin in this old gulf is filed with

NUMBER OF DUCKS

Hikers, who walked out the beach to Lowell Point and on to Tonsina Creek Sunday, report that large number of ducks are wintering in that area. The ducks are said to lie extremely fearful of humans and will take to wing as soon as they spot a person. This probably accounts for the reason why they escaped the hunters gun during the last open season on ducks.

In The Local
 TheaterS
REAL LIFE ROMANCE WITHIN ROMANCE IN NEW PICTURE AT POLL PALACE TODAY.

Hollywood sends a romance within a romance today to the Poli Palace theater, a story of deep pathos and humility, poignant tale of two young lovers facing life and its eternal problems alone and a bit afraid, in TlKO-Radio Pictures "The Age of Consent" which must, if you still like to see two clean youngsters holding hands, remind you of your own young loves and dreams.
 It is a picture that must appeal to al ages and to all persons be- cause of the wholesomeness of its theme, the lifting, dream-like quality of it's romance, and be- cause it's cast is natural and fresh.
 The players acting is natural, fresh and untainted by affecta- tions. Particularly is this true of Dorothy Wilson-and all the more remarkable-since she was lifted Cinderella-fike out of typist's position at the studio into the lead of the picture.
 Miss Wilson, judging by her su- perb work, is the type of girl any parent gladly would claim as daughter. Her wholesomeness is genuine, her moral outlook purged of sophistication.
 You also see. Richard Cromwell, with only a few pictures behind him, give a superlative' perfor- nance of young manhood at the crossroads of life
 "The Age of Consent" which Gregory La Cava directed with deep understanding of maturing boys and girls, is the story of two youngsters attending college who cannot decide, whether to marry or pursue their scholastic careers
 As a college picture it is gen timely different and refreshing. There are no football games. no sweatered romeos-it is nothing less than a truthful depletion of the deeper campus life, with it's budding romances, its illustrations, noble resolves and immature nib blings at forbidden joys.
 The co-feature is Drifting Souls' with Lois Wilson, Theodore Won Eltz and Bryant Washburn. It is one of the more dramatic of the seasons new offerings. Fox Movie- tone News rounds out the big program.

The Bidding

South, the dealer at most tables, opened with two no trump. North responded with three hearts. South bid five hearts, North bid six clubs and South went to six no trump.
 The Play
 At practically every table the fourth best diamond-thef five spot was the opening lead. The ten was played from dummy, East playing the eight, and the declarer won the trick with the jack.
 Does the drop of the eight spot convey a message to you? Apply ing the rule of II, five (the card led) from II leaves six diamonds higher than the five spot in the de- clarer. dummy and East hand. The declarer holds three, there is one in the dummy and East has played one, therefore East has only one card higher than the five spot, and evidently has none lower as he has played the eight spot. Thisi nfor- nation the declarer stores in the back of his mind and now leads the king and queen of clubs, and West shows out, discarding the four of hearts.
 With two top honors in one hand and one in the other, the proper play is to lead a small one to the two top honors, therefore the de- clarer leads the deuce of hearts, winning in dummy with the king. As West has discarded a heart, de- clarer now knows that the heart suit will break, but in order to get a better reading on the hand, de- cides to continue the heart suit and returns the queen from dummy and then the ten spot. When East plays the jack, the declarer wins with the ace and West discards a diamond.
 The nine of hearts is then played and East drops the nine of spades. As this nine of spades is a high card, 1t is a comc-on card and con- veys the message that East honds the king of spades.
 The declarer knows that East holds two more clubs. the king of spades, and oned iamond. He has only one possible chance of making his contract and that is to pull that diamond out of the East hand. so he now leads the ace of diamonds and discards q spade from dummy which catches East's nine of dia- monds. The deuce of clubs is then returned and the declarer must not take the finense. but must go right in with the ace in dummy and then return tho eight of clubs from dummy. Thus East Is forced to win
