MA5TER OF LOST TRAWLER TAHOE
 VISITS JUNEAU
Almost New Vessel 0pen- ed Seams in Gale Near
 Kodiak Recently

A captain without a ship passed through Juneau southbound Satur-
 " night on the steamer Mt. Me- Finley. He was Daniel M. Brodehl of Seattle, whose fine, two-year-old vessel Tahoe valued at $32000, sank in a storm near Kodiak recently.
 Brodehl said he had left McCord, Sitkalin Island, for Kodiak when seams of the Tahoe opened in a 45-mile per hour gale half mile off Humpback Light, Long Island. Un- able to bail the vessel, Brodehl got off in a lifeboat and watched the Tahoe founder and go under.
 Tossed by the storm, the lifeboat finally reached shore, but was "com- pletely demolished" as Brodehl put it, when it was pounded on the beach, He was unhurt.
 Captain Brodehl made a casualty report to the Collector of Customs here.

From the start of written history,
we find words about the struggle
between the forces of good and the
forces of evil, between the powers
of light and the powers of darkness.
OF such we may read in the Bible,
and 5000 years ago the ancient
Egyptians told of the god Osiris
who was cut to pieces by Set, the
god of darkness.
So it has been down through the
ages Each country has had leaders
who followed good ways, and others
who brought damage to their fellow
human beings.
Many German leaders tried to
build up the republic after the de-
feat in the World War. 1t seemed
for a time that Germany would de-
velop the worthwhile things in her
national life.
Yet there were troubles. In 1928,
prices rose sharply. Wages were in
creased until a worker was getting
hundreds of millions Of marks each
week. That might seem vast sum,

The republic went on with It's

West opened the king of clubs
and continued the suit until South
ruffed the third round. Declarer's
only task, 1t seemed, was to draw
trumps and claim the rest; but West
found way to add to that task.
When South led the king of
hearts, at the fourth trick, West
declined to take his ace. South
then led the queen of hearts, and
West again held of, since taking
either of the first two trumps
would oblige him to discontinue
clubs.
Now South was helpless. If he led
another trump, West would win and
force out South'S last trump with
fourth round of clubs, and then
West would win two more tricks
the five of trumps and the fifth club.
In order to prevent this two-trick
set, South had to abandon trumps.
That allowed West to ruff with the
low trump, and the ace of trumps
was the setting trick.

Short-Chonge Artists
SwindIe Girl Cashiers

This much was known today to
two girl cashiers in restaurants near
the Capitol: They had been swim
died of $40 each by pair of fast
talking short-change artists. But
neither could quite explain how
they had been duped.
The victims were Rachel Gould of
the Library of Congress Cafeteria
and Anne Marie of the Capitol Hill
Cafe, located at First and B streets
Sc.
The short change artists en-
ployed the same method in each
place. The first one handed the
cashier a $40 bill to pay for his
lunch. While the cashier was
making change, the second ap-
peared with a $40 bill to pay for a
small purchase. They started argu-
ing over change and drew the
cashier int othe debate. They
finally departed, arm in arm, and
when the puzzled girls checked up
later found they were $40 short.
