It vii remain at the Capitol Theatre to. night and Tuesday.
 The grippingly emotional story opens with the author, Flaubert tried in French court of law ol the charge of having written al immoral novel and pleading hi. case for it's heroine, Emma Bovary described by the prosecutor as "s disgrace to France and an insult tt womanhood."
 AS Flaubert speaks; the life o. Emma Bovary is unfolded, begin ming with her stifled upbringing il 3 strict convent, her squalid exist snce on her fathers farm and hei marriage to the kind but unimagi- native Dr. Charles Bovary.
 Unable to appease her romantic longings even in motherhood, Emma entangles herself in two unfortunate .ove affairs, the first with the handsome, young law clerk, Leor Lupuis, the second with the worldly artist, Rodolphe Boulanger.
 Dupuis proves himself liar anc a weakling; Boulanger turns Emma away when she is most in need o1 lelp. In the end, disillusioned anC deeply in debt, unable to regain the love of her child, tortured by her faithlessness to the husband who has always forgiven her, Emma commits suicide.

OIL LIVER PLANT
 AT kETCHIkAN IS TO
 BE MOVED, AUBURN

Although work on transferring the liver oil plant of Alaska Fish Oil Extractors from Ketchikan to Auburn, Wash, will start soon, the company will continue to buy Alaskan livers as strong or stronger than previously, it is announced by Lyle Anderson of that company.
 Tn order to supply the needs oi our company, it is necessary to process certain types of flyers not available in Alaska. It appears to ce easier and cheaper to ship Alaskan livers down than southern livers up. Thus, although we are moving the plant we will be in a position to buy Alaskan flyers even more actively than before" Ander- son said.
 It is contemplated that work oi dismantling the Ketchikan plant will start this week and that it will be shipped around December 1.

Canada Geese Haven.

Months ago the far away honk Of
the Canada goose hoated to earth.
Those of us below hearing the oft
repeated sound, longed to go with
them to their, beautiful sanctuary,
Jack Miners Goose Sanctuary near
Kingsville, Ontario, Canada. Hun
dreds of thousands of Canada geese
fly to this haven every year, be-
cause they know there is protection
and food here for them.
It has taken the beautiful goose
q long time to replace fear with
confidence. Even today, sentinels are
placed on a slight elevation where
enemies can esaily be seen and a
warning given.
Jack Miner as a young boy, to-
gether with his brother, made a
living by supplying the markets with
Canada geese. There came q day
when he knew he could not kill
another handsome "honker."
From that day on he protected
them. Finally when he passed on in
4093, 4lC AldAS CCA OdA4 t3Aav 44Ao ~
loved geese would be fed and pro-
tected. Today, his eldest son is IN
charge Of the sanctuary. In oper-
ating this bird haven the cost runs
from $4,000 to $4,000 annually
Most of the cost is for food.
In 1909 Jack Miner placed the first
anklet on q honker. From then until
1915 over 10000 trapped, unharmeo
geese were tagged. These very light
aluminium bands placed upon the
legs of many different species OF
birds by authorized persons, carry q
serial or code number together with
information relating to the bird Of
name of the bander or organization
to whom the bird is to be sent In
case Of death or removal of band.
In this way much valuable infor-
nation has been collected. The
bands are often sent to the Biolog-
ical Survey and data recorded.
Canada geese are canny about
their domestic affairs. Usually. Z

Goren on BRIDGE

When. your partner opens the bid
ding and your right-hand opponent
overcalls with two clubs or two dia-
monds, your appropriate action may
not be clearly indicated where you|
have scattered values. In such cases
a double on suspicion will frequently
pay handsome dividends. Doubles
based on suspicion should be re-
stricted, however, to minor bids OF
two. We can hardly recommend
doubling two of a major on mere
hunch, for the obvious reason that
q slight misjudgment will present the
opponents with a game, whereas the
fulfllment of a two-club contract
doubled will hardly affect the dou-
bler's financial stability.
In today's apparently colorless
hand an enterprising West was able
to give the lie to popular maxim,
by making silk purse out OF a
sow's ear.
East opened with one spade and
South's overcall of two diamonds
was certainly conventional. West
was confronted with a problem.
Holding hand that was average II
high cards Go points,, he was reluc-
tant to pass, yet no convenient bid
was available to him.
He could not raise spades without
ANYTHING resembling normal trump
support and did not have the values
for a two-no- trump overcall and to
bid three clubs was obviously un-
sound, because it would force part
ner to bid again at a very high level
and would almost blindly lead the
partnership into game contract.
He reasoned that his hand would
probably develop at least three tricks
against the opponents and If his
partner could take three (the nor
NAL expectancy the contract could
be defeated. He, therefore, decided
to double, with the comfortable feel
ing that even if the opponents full
filled the contract they would not
score game.
The Jack of spades was opened.
East cashed the king and ace and
gave partner ruff. The three heart
tricks were then ratified off, followed
by a shift to the eight of clubs, the
finesse losing to Vests king. There
was still trump trick to be scored,
for net profit of 300 points,
That rather look upon as striking
oil. a windfall that was all the more
acceptable when one considers that
west and East could not have scored
game.
