Boy, it was sure worth the trip"
 That was the way Martin Itjen of Skagway, who started out four months ago in this famous street car" to see Mae West, summed it up last night on the Princess Norah when that vessel stopped here en route to Skagway with Itjen as a passenger.
 Yes sir, Mae is a swell little girl said the widely heralded sourdough. "and had great time. From Skagway to Agua Caliente, saw alt he sights, played the theatres, talked on the radio told 'em about the gold rush days, stayed three weeks at the Ambas- sador hotel in Los Angeles and had the best time I've had in 36 years. Now I'm taking the street car back to Skagway and start telling it to the tourists for the summer. Next fall I'm going out again, this time to New York, maybe"
 Itjen, who is the undertaken, Ford dealer, Standard oil represent ative. Goodyear Tire agent and lot of other things up in Skag- way, has his Ford fixed up like street car and shows tourists the points of interest in his home town. It was his street car" that attracted so much attention in the states, coupled with the genial Mar tins wit and ready humor.
 "Yes sir, the reporters met me at the boat in Seattle and the next thing knew was in all the papers with my street car" Alaska's street car operator No. explained. They asked me to talk at theatres and on the radio and I told em about the gold rush days and Alaska. They seemed to like it, too.
 In San Francisco with the CO., operation of some used car dealers and the theatres Martin published the one and only copy of the 'Klondike Musher" which was ped- dled on the streets under big red extra" and won warm reception. In it the colorful Skagway humorist is shown with Mae West and Jean Parker, movie stars, and it is filled with stories by San Francisco movie writers, who didn't overlook Mar tins act at the Orpheum theatre.
 But it was in Los Angeles that Itjen really had his best time. The luxury of three weeks of the best at the Ambassador hotel will live with him always, he declared, and Mae West was all advance notices reported, commented the Sage of Skagway.
 I've seen lot of shining stars in the North" he said, Like told Miss West, but none of 'em that shine any brighter than she does, and, you know. I think she kind Of liked that little compliment. l went through the movie studios and met lot of the big shots.
 No, I didn't get to go the Brown Derby tHollywood's famous movie restauranO I had to go to the races down to Agua Caliente that day. Didn't have much luck with the ponies though he commented as the Princess Norah blew the whistle for departure.
 Martin was out on the dock by this time greeting a grouJt of his Juneau friends. Heading for the gangplank he shouted, come mp

I had a pleasant surprise -the other day when Phil Leon of Cleveland walked into my New York office. As soon as I saw Phil, I knew he was going to give me one of those unusual hands of his.
 In the days of auction, the Ex- celsior Club team of Celevand, of which Leon was a member, was acknowledged the greatest auc- ton team of four in the country. They distinguished themselves one year by winning the two ma- jor auction events in both the American Whist League and the American Bridge League.
 In giving me today's hand, Leon said it came up in the re- cent Ohio state tournament. Leon, sitting in the West, took tho first three tricks and then had to resort to an unusual play to defeat the contract.
 The Play
 His opening lead was the king of hearts, on which his partner played the three. On the ace of hearts Leon's partner played the four and declared dropped the queen. This definitely marked East with the ten of hearts. Leon now led the ace of dia- monds, his partner played the ten spot, shouting loudly to con- tinue diamonds, but declarer dropped the jack. West now req soned that South probably held

five spades and five clubs, and therefore to continue with a dia- mond would do no good.
 West could also see that de- clarer had no possible in-card to dummy and, if he held the ace- queen of clubs, he would be forced to lay down the ace of clubs, whihc would capture Vests singleton king. Leon decided to make what generally is consid- cred a poor play.
 He laid down the jack of hearts, knowing that declarer could ruff in one hand and dis card in the other. But this was exactly what Leon wanted. De- clarer trumped the trick in dummy with the deuce of spades. discarding the four of clubs from his own hand. #
 Now. declarer felt quite satis- fled, because he had been won- dering. how he could get into dummy to take the club flnesse. He led the jack of clubs from dummy, allowing it to ride, and West won the trick with his singleton king, defeating the con- tract.
 West had planned avery clever trick, for which even the smart est of players would have fallen. .(Copyright 1885, NEA Service Incl
