ARE THERE ENOUGH

WHEN YOU think about bid
ding a slam, two basic problems
must be in your mind. Can you
get in the lead before the defend
ers have taken the setting trick?
That is the first one. but the sec
ond is equally important. Once
you get in the lead. can you then
take the necessary number OF
tricks. without having to give up
the fatal one? Experts who refuse
to use artificial ace-showing con-
ventions will grant you that those
devices are more accurate to settle
the first problem. In sticking to
natural bidding. however. they
gain a certain amount Of greater
accuracy in diagnosing whether
your side has enough trick-takers.

The findings and decision of the Maritime Commission, dated Aug ust 28. 194l, were based upon op- erations ending in 1940. An ex- animation of the record in these proceedings, shows that the car riers were all fearful that 194l would prove disastrous to them on account of increased labor costs higher insurance rates. loss of busi- ness and various other causes.
 True, operating expenses rose sharply during l94l, but so did in come, and the actual profits dur ing that year were considerably higher than those of l940. Appar- ently the carriers were satisfied with their returns up to December 2. 194l on that day the United States became involved in war.

"p0T O. GOLD" E FEATURED
 AT CAPITOL

There is music, merriment, fun, laughter and romance in James 3oosevelt's first Hollywood produc- tion, Pot O'Gold" which stars James Stewart and Paulette God lard and is now playing at the Capitol Theatre, through United Artists release. The picture was iirected by George Marshall and its story hinges on the whims of m eccentric millionaire who sells yitamized foods, has impecunious nephew and an equally impecunious dance band which practices its .unes atop a boarding house roof.
 Charles Winninger portrays the dncle, Jimmy is the nephew, Paul. stte Goddard is the comedy board ing house lass and Horace Heidt md his band of radio luminaries provide the gay and light-hearted tunes.
 Providing Jimmy Stewart with his make-believe home was simple. Jimmy is the impractical proprietor of a small-town music shop who lives in the rear room of his store, a barely furnished room with a cot, gas-plate and a sink hung on brackets. To give Miss Goddard 0 home it was necessary to build an entire tenement street, three blocks long AS the daughter Of a boarding house keeper, Paulette gets mixed up with the chief ten- ants, the impoverished members of Horace Heidt's band.
 Charles Winninger's home was luxuriously furnished by the studio with library, drawing room, two bedrooms, a furnace room, card room and pantry. A spacious col onial structure was photographed to represent the exterior and to match the elaborate interiors.

ALDRICH FAMILY BRINGS FUN TO
 10TH CENTURY

There's riot of laughs in store for you at the 20th Century The atre where the Aldrich Family in Life With Henry" opened Sunday night before enthusiastic audiences. Although laughter was the keynote there were times when Jackie Coopers acting brought a tug at your heart. as only he can do
 The well-meant misadventures of hapless. Henry Aldrich commence when he decides to spend his va cation in Alaska instead of hang ing around Centerville and getting himself in wrong with the com munity. All he has to do is to earn one hundred dollars, forward it with an application blank and three letters from responsible busi- ness men to Chicago philanthro- pist. It's all very simple, but not for Henry. He tries to earn the money playing bank night at the local theatre and just misses. He and Dizzy take to making soap and selling it to neighbors. Instead of cleaning, it eats the materials.
 His father and the leading citi- zens are trying to promote the building of factory for canning mushrooms and invite representa- tives to get together dinner at the Aldrich home. But Henry and Dizzy are hard at work in the cell lar on their next batch of soap, the soap and the mushrooms get mixed and the businessmen think they are being poisoned.
 It takes all of Henry's hard earned money to square the soap misadventure. But he still doesn't lose hope in getting to Alaska and hitch hikes to Chicago to see the banker in person. He gets in wrong here and returns, followed by the banker, who goes through some rough treatment before things are finally strengthened out It seems that he is also the head of the canning company.

 Since 1924 Miss Davis has made her home in Washington, D. C., and ives in one of the older houses in Georgetown, the oldest residential section of the city. She is enthus- iastic about her home and said that though not large. it has many fire places and the charm of age com- bined with modern convenience. Before going to the Interior, Miss Davis will spend a short time in ESitka. Upon her return she will go to Fairbanks by air and from there to Anchorage, either by AL aska Railroad or plane. Beyond that her plans regarding Alaska travel are indefinite though she expects to complete it within three or four weeks.

A family of four needs some- thing more than flour and beans to maintain itself, and the sur- charge on such articles as fresh fruit and vegetables, furniture, fuel oil and coal, supplies shipped in cold storage, stoves, electric ranges, washtubs, refrigerators and many other items comes very high.

Note: From the foregoing tabu- lation it must not be concluded that the Northland Transportation Com pany has not earned handsome profit from its operations since 1t started. While its Alaska business for the year 1940 showed return of only 3,68 percent on the fair value of it's Alaska investment its total net returns in percentages surpasses those of the Alaska Steamship Company; these heavy returns were earned by it from chartering its ships to others.
 The Commission found that 75 percent constituted a fair return on the respective investments and that from the above calculations it was evident that during the year l940. the Alaska Steamship earned 0.47 percent in excess of the fair return allowed; Northlandl Trans portation earned. 3.s2 percent less that 7.5 percent; Alaska Transpor- tation Company had no net income and Santa Ana, operating from &c., attle to Bethel. earned 2l.99 per cent in excess of the fair return In it's final decision, the Maritime Commission concluded;
 Considering all factors, we con clude that Alaska Steamship Con- pany's rate structure, as a whole Is not shown to be unreasonable from the standpoint of the fair value test"
 Report Rates Fair
 With reference to the Santa Ana operations the Commission after considering testimony submitted Ly representatives of the Santa Ana Company claiming that 1941 op- erations would. show. considerably less income than l940, the Con- mission stated: Tn view of the unpredictable loss of revenue in l94l, and its effect on net income and in the absence of complaint from any of the affected shippers we conclude that Santa Anas rate structure has not been shown to be unreasonable"
 The finding of the Maritime Commission, sustained the conten- ton of the carriers that their rate structure as a whole was not un- unreasonable; small refunds were ordered to be made on account of unfair practices indulged in and the carriers were directed to abstain from giving preference to any ship pers and suggestion was made, that Alaska Steamship Company cancel existing. joint rail and water rates maintained with the Alaska Rail- road, and in lieu thereof, publish ship Company
