Karl and Josef were in neighboring
villages in some instances, in the same

always the same:

Things Aren't Quite Same.

that the worst is over. Others feel
they are just having a breathing spell

Harlem To Get

New Plan

NEW YORK, Aug. Is Gas
surance that Harlem will be able to
elect colored Congressman, whesh--
er he be Democratic or Republican,
was given Monday when the Consti--
tutional Convention Committee, in
session at Albany, agreed to revise
the reappointment amendment to
increase from 16 to II the number
Of Assemblymen in New York
county, and give Harlem three as
semblymen instead Of two as at
present. Under this plan, Negroes
will be concentrated in the 18th,
18th and 18th districts, which will
together form q State Senatorial
and Congressional district. This
plan would also give Negroes a
State Senator. The plan was en-
dorsed by Kenneth Simpson, New
York county Republican leader and
member of the Republican National
Committee.

7 OUDEST Of the common noises one
hears Is thunder. Yet, strange
as it seems, no thunder clap has ever
been heard Enthusiastically more than
20 miles away.
Continual cannon fire, on the other
hand. has been heard definitely 100
miles distant. and on less reliable au-
thority from distances as great as 300
miles.
Natures greatest noise-a volcanic
explosion-can outdo any sound man
is capable Of making. Some have
been identified 5000 miles away.
Greatest man-made noise on record
was blast set off on the Arctic
Island OF Nova Zembla in December,
1888. 1t was detected more than 1000
miles distant at Berlin.
Strange as it seems, the sounds Of
thunder. of cannonfire and of a pin
dropping travel at exactly the same
speed. as the source or volume of the
sound has no bearing on its speed.

Winning Contract
BY THE FOUR ACES.
Take.0ut Double.

MANY players fail to realize that
~ the take-out double is the most
useful weapon available to the oppo-
nents Of the opening bidder. Like
wise, some players enormously believe
that double Is for take-out purposes
only when made by the player at the
left of the opening bidder. The take
out double serves a twofold purpose:
1t informs partner that the doubler
has an unusually strong hand, and at
the same time requests information as
to his strength and distribution The
following hand, played in a rubber
bridge game recently. illustrates this
point.
East, dealer.

With both sides vulnerable, East
dealt and bid one spade. South
passed and West raised to two spades.
North's powerful hand presented
problem. A bid of three hearts would
be extremely dangerous and many
players would have made q simple
overcall Of three diamonds. The take
out double solved the problem. North
wished to inform his partner that he
held powerful hand, and in par
ticular, support for hearts-the other
major suit. Note that South made
the proper response Of three hearts,
giving preference to his four-card
suit over his five-card club suit.
North's raise to game was slightly
risky, but 1t did not look as though
this contract could be severely penal.
lied even II his partner held bust.
Fortunately declarer turned up with
two vital cards-the king of spades
and the king of diamonds, so that he
had no difficulty in making his con-
tract.
At the end Of the hand North was
asked what he would have done if his
partner had responded with three
clubs. He admitted that he would
not have cared much for the club re-
sponse, and hence would have taken
out to three diamonds. Thus, he con-
cluded, his partner would still have
had an opportunity to show . four
card heart suit with the certain know
ledge that substantial heart support
would be forthcoming.

II seems difficult these days 20

any constructive thinking.
The spiritual phase Of our being

JUNEAU'S PROBLEM

Juneau is being suddenly blessed with public works Whether wants to be blessed to the volume the City Council now finds its lap remains to be seen At any rate Juneau no sooner has small boat harbor assured with the participating cost of S88OOo than comes the announcement of yesterday that the city application for $7OOOO for street and sewer inn provements also has been approved It appears that the city has killed many birds with one stone that it doesn't know how to pick them up.
 It is generally conceded that nothing must be placed in the way of the small boat harbor. With the War Department now ready to proceed with building the basin the city already pledged to participation must provide the terminal facilities. It not only must but it wants to and far the City Council has heard there isn't any protest against it. On the contrary, the entire community has been and is wholeheartedly back of the project The city antic- pated this improvement and is prepared to proceed raise the money.
 But on top of it comes approval to the proposal to pave Willoughby Avenue, widen South Seward Street and put in some sewers and sidewalks all much needed improvements But it calls for eX- penditure the part of the city of 55 percent of the total cost of $17OO0O and the city fathers are asking themselves how we going to raise the money?"
 Naturally enough, bond issue appears to be the solution if advantage is taken of the PWA project The city expects to offer bond issue for raising funds to build the boat harbor facilities But it would have to raise the amount appreciaby if also went ahead with the street improvements program. About the smallest figure the city estimate for the two jobs is around S14o000 which means that Juneaus bond debt if the taxpayers approved, would mount up again well the $300O0O mark It stands at 000
 In the discussion which is sure to follow city finances regardless of what is pursued it shouldn't be overlooked that Juneau is growing The
