TWO CONVICTED AT JUNEAU
 FOR BEING DRUG ADDICTS

Dewey Sharp, alias Bud Will Hams, and Lawrence E. Hill, alias Ray Momeny, entered pleas of glil- ty at Juneau to charges of being drug addicts after arraignment be- fore Judge J. F. Mullen in the local U. s. Commissioner Court. Each man was sentenced to 45 days im- prisonment in the Fedora. jail.
 The men were arrested by Feder- al deputies. Home made needles and three ounces of morphine were found on them. Both readily admit ted they were addlcts and Sharp de- c.ared he had been pron1n ed in curable.
 Sharp has a long record of petty crimes stretching from Fairbanks 10 San Francisco. beginnlng at ket- rhjkan in 1923 He is said to have served a two-yce" term in McNeil Island Penitentidry for breaking aLd entering q tore at Ketchikan in 1880. Prescrlprlon blanks, steien .rom offices of Iuaeau physicians and forged by the two men from time to time led to their arrest. Druggists, whose suspicious were aroused, reported the matter to the authoritie who investigated. Spoons used in cooking dope, bypodermics and a small quantity of morphine were found n their possesSion.

tion. We, as Americans, ought es- pecially to find it interesting since it presents the life of the Swedish people not only in history and TO- nance, but in the practical work ing out of such problems as we are now facing in the New Deal. The discussion of these modern develop ments in no way overshadows the fascinating presentation of this picturesque country which Count Keyserling has called 'one of the most civilized countries of Europe.
 My Russian Neighbors" by A. Wicksteed: This book I re straight through at one sitting. The author, a Britisher, tells simply and informally of his experiences in Russia where he has lived now for ten years. While 1 do not agree with some of his views, l found every word in the book interesting and heartily recommend it to those who care to read the honest ex- pressions of a genuine admirer of the Russian system whose eyes are not closed to it's many defects.
 Undiscovered Europe by E. A. Powell: This book deals with a number of the small countries which rarely figure in the inter- national news of the press, but which are familiar to us all. The very names Liechtenstein, Andorra, and Monaco arouse our curiosity. There is, so far as l know, no other one book which treats of all these picturesque and unusual lit tie kingdoms and republics and we are fortunate to have this book to include in the Alcove collection. Each chapter is a story in itself, although the whole book can easily be read at one time.
 "Government and Politics of It ly" by H. R. Spencer: We are all interested to learn about Italy, but are perplexed by books which are either given to indiscriminate praise or bitter criticism of condi- tions now prevailing Tn that coun- try. This book is a fair analysis of the present government and poli- tics of Italy and is written in clear and simple language which can easily be understood by the general reader.
 In addition to the AlcoVe books, Miss Jones sent the Wrangell li- brary an extra book on Australia and New Zealand for the regular library shelf, "The Call of the Southern Cross" by A S. Wadia.

Local D. A. v. Auxiliary h NationlOide Canlpdign

Under the leadership of Mrs Isabelle Marton. past commander of the Disabled American Veter- ans Auxiliary, and national mem bership chairman of the organiza- tion, a national membership drive has been formally launched.
 As the first step in the local campaign, five new membehs were initiated last night at the meeting of the Waterbury chap ter by Mrs Helen Brophy, Com mander of the auxiliary chapter.
 Mrs Marton was elected to the national office at the 1894 annual convention in Denver, Colorado, and is in contact with other na- tipnal heads of the organization and members of the committee, who are cooperating on plans to make the current campaign the most effective of it's kind to be sponsored by the D.A.V. in the his- tory of the association.
 The campaign will be carried directly to the various states through the work of state commit tees and officials, who will work under directions from national headquarters. At an enthusiastic gathering of the state committee of Connecticut, and interested members Wednesday night plans were made to double the member ship attained in last years drive.
 The campaign will be carried through into 1885 and final reports given at the next national conven- tion, which will be held in New Haven.
 Arrangements were also made at last nights meeting for participa- ton in the Armistice day parade, and 1t was announced that the auxiliary would enter a float.

A new name is on the list of the outstanding contract bridge players of the country-Aaron Frank of Cleveland. Not only is the record that he and his partner. Jeff Click, established this year. remarkable, but the experts who have played against him acknowl- edge that he is One of the finest of card players.
 I am afraid I cannot do him justice in explaining his defense in today's hand. It was one that brought him many congratula- tions, when it was played in the recent Masters Team of Four championship. Frank held the West hand.
 The Play
 His opening lead against the three no trump contract was the six of hearts, which South won with the ace. A diamond was led and the finesse taken, East win ming the trick with the king. East returned a heart, declarer played low and West won the trick with the jack.
 A heart was returned and South was fcrced to win the trick with the king. Now, when West returned heart, he definitely marked himself with re-entry; otherwise, why would he try to establish the heart suit?
 After winning the heart trick,

the declarer led diamond and here's where Frank had to make his decision. He could see that he would have to make five discards
 If he discarded down to the blank cace of spades, the declarer would be able to make an end play on him and force him to lead away from his king of clubs, and if he discarded spades, the de- clarer would immediately know that he was trying to protect the clubs. So Frank realized that his only chance to defeat the contract was to out-think the declarer. His first discard was a small club. Another diamond was played by the declarer and without mo ment's hesitation, Frank discard ed his other small club, blanking down to the bare king. Of course. on the remaining diamonds, he discarded spades, but in discard ing the clubs, as he did, he. gave the declarer a false picture of his hand. ..s
 Naturally, the declarer would not figure Frank for biankfng his king of clubs, so the nesse was taken in clubs and when, Frank won with the kingr he cashed the remainder of the tricks, setting the contract two tricks.
