very bad bridge. His failure to
switch to a heart when he got the
discouraging signal Of the 6 and 7
from East, gave South a chance for
his contract, but he fumbled it. He
trumped the third Club with the 8
and then was utterly unable to
avoid the loss Of two heart tricks.
Had South ruffed the third club
with the spade 10, and hoped for a
drop of the @ on two top spades,
he then could have cashed his two
high diamonds and used the spades
to the spade-9 as an entry to
dummy to run three more diamonds

Just Relax!
Cincinnati Enquirer)

From the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, we gather that the safe thing for great country to do in a crisis is to face in the other direction pull up ones coat collar little, and just wait This ostrich
 like tactic followed for long by Great Britain to her sorrow is the most that majority of the Senate group suggestto the gravest foreign emergency of years
 Rarely have the American people been treated to such spectacle of caous disregard for their most vital interests If many Senators preferred different neu- traity policy than the written into the Bloom bill, they might have waged fight to put it into law. In stead they blocked any action permitting our policy to depend on the grossly inadequate of 1887
 Cautiously enough, many who opposed the Bloom bill agreed that it's provisions sound But they said they disrusted MT Roosevelts foreign policy" What they have done to leave the door wide open MT Roosevelt if he chooses to facilitate the sale of all strategic commodities to belligerents If the President did want to draw us into European war, which he obviously does not the Neutrality Act it stands makes tha. easier than would the Bloom bill
 One could only admire the extreme isolationists in the Senate however anquaed their ideas, if they had chosen to fight for a law conforming to their ideas They have done this Out of pique out of partisan rancor of sheer stubbornneSs small group of them has succeeded in blocking any action
 Because they had nothing tangible to offer except the quaint plan of ignoring Europes existence. they have condemned the American people to the risks of the of world crisis. They have kept the arms embargo which is fimsy and deceptive shield But they have blocked the cash-and carry plan which would have kept American ships out of war areas and would have reduced to almost nothing the stake Americans would have in cargoes lost in blockade operations.
 Spiting the President these men have exposed the American people to risks far greater than were en- tailed in the Bloom bill

NO VIRTUE IN ALASKA?

This title, without the question mark, appears over a news story in the Hutchinson Kansas, News. The second bank of the headline reads Woman of Easy Morals Can Grow Rich" After that the article looks worse and worse, to Alaskan the farther he reads It isn't a story about Alaska whole but about our own Juneau and it's wrong it's funny.
 It seems a red-haired young named Donald Farrow of Hutchinson quit his job driving laundry wagon and headed for Alaska ito make his fortune" He pushed his way northwestward to Juneau which must have seemed about the farhest frontier outpost of strange land to judge by the interview he gave to his little Kansas newspaper when he returned home
 Here are few choice paragraphs from it:
 Alaska to the Hutchinson man always will Juneaua usty village of 5000 persons, 2OOO of them on relief
 "A village with two natural sources of wealth gold mining and fishing Juneau is the most remark able town Farrow
 "'It has absolutely no morals he asserted. There are about nine for every woman and a could go up there with the sweetest wife in the world and they wouldn't be married inside of two years
 You can get a divorce just about for the asking and it's shame to say it. but woman can make about $l50OO year from those fishermen.
 Eating was no cinch Farrows money supply ran low.
 "You go into hotel and eat a meal that would cost you a quarter here Gin Kansas)-the bill comes to S135'
 Fortunately for Farrow he obtained a job help ing install a hotel for business.
 The hotel business is almost racket he de- clared The cheapest room with narrow bed no better than cot comes to $3'' -.s.s
 So MT Farrow went all the way back to Hutchin- Kansas, granted interview to the local news paper and opened popcorn shop
 No more Alaska for me" he is quoted in his story, unless it's to go there on a vacation"
 And more Farrow for us no matter what

 Relief as permanent drain upon taxpayers is to be recognized more and more clearly as the summer wanes and autumn plans come un- der consideration. Novel ideas for compelling labor from work dodgers will be entertained, but slow solu- tion of problems concerning the in- digent is prognosticated.
 Mines and mining come under promising rule today. Science is to aid prospectors who will substitute modern inventions for the old time pick and shovel
 This is an unfavorable date for beginnings of any sort and especi- any unlucky for romance. Young folk need not count on success in winning new friends this evening. Social affairs may be dull.
 Summer resorts will profit great ly, especially those that attract visi- tors to the mountains. Hunting and fishing will be popular this month.

HERRING STUDY @a s URGED; SALMON
 CREWS UNEASY
Bates Speaks al Chamber Meeting Here-Sifka
 Is Up in Arms ,, .

An exhaustive study should be made at this time of the value of herring as a food fish for salmon, William A. Bates, Ketchikan and Sitka banker. urged at today's Ju- neau Chamber of Commerce meet- ing.
 Sitka fishermen are much exer- cised about herring operations in that district, he said, urging that "a careful study be made to settle the much debated question "once and for all"
 Bates said he was told at Sitka that Is smoke boats" are operat-- ing there, fishing in confined area with from 50 to 60 trollers fishing for salmon right around them. This indicates, at least to the satisfaction of the salmon fish ermen, he said, that salmon feed on herring and can be caught where herring abound.
 NeW Sltkd bdnK
 Bates is Cashier Manager of the Miners and Merchants Bank at Ketchikan and one of the founders of The First Bank of Sitka, which is to open it's doors soon.
 Remarking on the change-of- time controversy here, Bates said that Ketchikan has been on Seat tie time for IA years and has found it so convenient that it wouldn't go back for anything"
 T believe it would be an inn portant step forward for Juneau to go on Seattle time" he said.
 Other Chamber guests today were c. R. Wright, Hoonah, contractor; Dr. s. M. Bredlie, Fairbanks chi ropractor, and Lieut. . Commdr Noble G. Ricketts, in charge of the Coast Guard cutter Haida for the past three years and who is leav- ing soon for Norfolk, Va.

The Rabbit Turns
(New York Times)

The rabbit story which Lee Hartman and Roy Caldwell circulating in Des Moines Iowa may or may not be a straw in the wind It may have no significance at all It does, however, have moral which may be worth the attention of eminent per- sonages who have been going the theory that worms don't turn and that rabbits not pugnacious.
 MT Hartman and MT. Caldwell, according to The Associated Press, stopped their somewhere the Iowa prairies to find out what the rabbit up to- "The rabbit" the dispatch continues was giving battle to fve-foot bull snake that had attempted to swallow of her young The men said they watched while the rabbit seized the snake shook it and killed it." Presumably MT. Hartman and MT. Caldwell then went back to Des Mones, almost any one would do under the circumstances.
 Perhaps conclusions should be drawn until re- ports in from some trustworthy old-fashioned fishermen few reliable early birds. Still the situation is worth watching.
