JOHNSON Tarifa, Spain, Nov. 17.—()—The Spanish government commission which has been testing the feasibility | of @ tunnel under the Straits of Gib- raltar to connect Spain and north Africa, is beginning to believe the project is less fantastic than it sounds. Luis de Pena, head of the commis- sion, has said that if the final analy- sis proves favorable, the engineering Gifficulties would not be so great as the problem of raising enough money to finance such an undertaking. He estimated for the Associated Press that several hundred millions of dol- lars would be required. Lt. Col. Pedro Jevenois, another member of the commission, has be- come an enthusiastic supporter of the scheme. He believes that con- struction of the tunnel is only a question of time. Project 75 Years Old The project was conceived about 75 years ago by a French engineer, Laurent de Villedeuil. It has. since been considered by engineers of Spain, England, France and some cther countries but in each case, when tests were made, there was wide divergence of opinion as to ac- tual experimental results. The pres- ent commission was appointed by the Spanish government in an endeavor to resolve these doubts, one way or the other. The commission laid out its work in two main fields. First, geological strata were to be explored and sec- ond, data was to be assembled re- garding water conditions in the Straits. In testing the rocks, two wells are being sunk: One is a short distance outside of this city while the other is about 18 miles away on the African side but within the bounds of Spanish Morocco. Whether the tunnel, if tween these two points remains to be seen as unfavorable currents and ground formations might force a de- viation. Water Now To Be Tested The well near here has reihed a Cepth of 300 meters (984 feet) but will eventually be sunk to 1,390 feet. The African shaft is to be identical and is being constructed by a Belgian company although all work is un- der a Spanish government subsidy. Geological experts will compare the strata tapped by the two wells and if they are identical the conclusion will be that the same ground under- lies the straits. Surface tests al- teady have indicated similarity. A boat with modern sounding aj Paratus is being rigged: in Copenha- gen to test the depths and currents of the straits. It is believed by Spanish engineers, following first tests, that the maximum depth of the straits is about 1,300 feet. Tis is considerably less than was formerly believed and should prove a favorable factor if construction work is ever commenced. ‘The tunnel, according to various schemes, has been proposed to in: clude a highway, pedestrian walks and railroad tracks. The problem of gauges of rails arises in this connec- tion since Spanish lines differ from those in Africa and France and a conformation would be necessary. But Colonel Jevenois does not be- lieve the difficulties are great beyond the tremendous cost of financing, Jevenois said that “Spain looks for- ward to the day when Europe and Africa will be linked.” Expenses Big Obstacle “We realize that the tunnel can be built only after tremendous work and expense,” he added, “but ’ with its vital importance as a commercial undertaking, other powers probably would be interested in it. Of course, Spain, if possible, would wish it as ®@ purely national affair.” Such a tunnel, he feels, would strengthen Spain's power in the Med- {terranean and would prove. almost {invaluable in war as a means of troop transportation. The risk of attack by submarines or airplanes would be removed, he says, and the tunnel would be virtually impregnable to depth bombs and mines. Government officials feel the tube would bolster their north African holdings and provide Spain with add- ed impetus in competing with French, British and Italian influence there. General Damaso Berenguer, pre- mier of Spain and former Spanish Moroccan high commissioner, wrote in a book by Colonel Jevenois that the tunnel would make Spain's mili- tary campaigns in north Africa “really fruitful.” 4 ——________ig 1 AT THE MOVIES | «ee aa FAR AMOUNT pagina e imaginative genius, to say ‘nothing of fie ecg genius, of Harold Lloyd are im- a> Spain Finding Gibraltar Tunnel Feasible ‘ . test well to determine the rock composition of the bed of the Straits of Gibraltar, erected near Tarifa, Spain, jown upper left.

McKENNEY (Secretary American Bridge League) Where is the player who does not receive ® thrill when he has success- fully executed a squeeze play? Un- doubtedly the most interesting squeeze is where you force one oppo- nent to squeeze che other. An ex- ample of this play is given in the fol- lowing hand: WoRTH S—)-9-7 Se) SEReed: gone S—A10- - S—K6-2 8-5-4 C—0-8-6 H—0-10- H—16 82 D—9-8-7- o-) 3 C—K-)- C73 sourn—peaten 95-2 $03 H—A-94-3 D-A-0-6-2 C—A-10-4 “ The Bidding At auction, the bidding would be South one no trump, all pass. At contract, although the hand does contain a four-card diamond suit that is biddable, the possibili- ties of going game are far better in no trump in a suit declaration, there- fore South should bid one no trump, North would take his partner to two no trump, South threé no trump, which would close the contracting. The Play West's longest and strongest suit is spades. The five spot, the fourth best spade, should be opened, dummy cov- ers with the seven, East winning the trick with the king, declarer plays the ventures in which Harold poses as a young man of wealth in order to im- press Barbara at a society ball, he one day finds himself on board a liner bound from Honolulu on which are also McWade, Miss Leighton and Barbara. There follows a veritable barrage of Lioydian fun as Harold tries to “crash” a social event aboard | the ship. three. East returns the six of spades, declarer plays the queen. West should refyse to win this trick. As he has no in-card, he must hope for his partner to get in and return the spades to him. Therefore, the four is played by West, dummy play- ing the nine. Declarer now runs four diamond tricks, winning the last trick in dummy with the king, East follows \with the jack of diamonds and dis- cards the deuce of hearts and the deuce and five of clubs. The declarer has only eight tricks jin sight—four diamond tricks, a spade, two hearts and a club. He has a fair count on the East hand. He |realizes that East must hold another spade, otherwise West would have won the spade trick. This would leave East with three hearts and jthree clubs. Declarer’s only chance to go game is to throw West in the lead ; with the jack of spades and force : West to squeeze his partner. Declarer discards the three of hearts on the spade lead, West winning with the ace. West leads the ten of spades. dum- my discarding the five of hearts. East is now forced to discard the nine lof clubs‘and declarer discards the four of. clubs. West continues with the eight of spades, dummy discard- ing the six of clubs and East is help- less. If he discards a heart, the de- clarer will discard the ten of clubs and-all of his hearts: are good: If East discards a club, the declarer will discard a heart and cash the four re- maining tricks.

CAPITOL THEATRE Critics who think that Amos 'n’ Andy are merely two voices offering Finally he gets ashore only to en- | the cleverest and most human negro counter’ fresh thrills on the top and sketches ever spoken are due soon to deliver some amaged cheers for two great actors as well. ‘ First flashes of “Check and Double Check,” the initial all-talking feature picture starring Amos ’n’ Andy, to be shown at the Capitol theatre, prove that Amos ‘n’ Andy are not a radio miracle but two screen players of rare talents. It is small wonder that Freeman F. Gosden and Charles J. Correll, Amos 'n’ Andy on the air to millions. are expert at play-acting. For years they were on the stage in sketches of various sorts; as actors, as singers, in a team; but forever before the pub- lic. Such training has given them assurance and ease and a thorough knowledge of the technique of panto- mime without which acting is a mel- ancholy joke. It was just that. The real genius for acting before the camera which radio broadcasting’s two greatest stars displayed caused Brown to compare them with Chaplin. “My comparison,” he said, “rests solely on a difference. It's this Chaplin’s art, great as it undoubted- ly is, was based entirely on the most. perfect pantomimic art the screen has even known. But my theories have been confounded by Gosden and Correll. Here are two artists who are not only required to pantomime in the highly expressive and individ- ual manner of the negro characters they portray, but must coordinate these physical interpretations with the famous phrases and expressions that are part and parcel of their insight into negro types. “They have done this to so fine a degree that I honestly believe it has been a greater feat and a greater ac- complishment than even Chaplin's eplendid but silent characterizations.” Golden Valley ‘Dads’ Purchase Snow Plow Bach, N. D., Nov. 17.—A tractor and snow bucking appliance have been purchased by the Golden Valley coun- ty commissioners at a cost of $7,551. An old tractor belonging to the coun- ty was traded in for $2,090, making the net cost of the new equipment $5,461. The outfit, purchased from a Glen- dive, Mont., firm, includes a Model 60 Wasau plow, complete with wings and @ mechanical hoist operated from the cab, and a Model 60 caterpillar tractor with cab, standard track, 16 inch grouser track shoes, engine cov- er, and rear fuel system, electic lights, dariator guard and curtain. BEACH CURFEW SOUGHT Beach, N. D., Nov. 17.—Beach’s city council will be asked to pass a curfew ordinance by the local Parent-Teach- jee association. OUT OUR WAY Pressively paraded before the eager public eye and ear again in “Feet First,” the new Lloyd picture at the Paramount theatre, where it will run four days following great reception by audiences there this afternoon. There is no doubt of the popularity pf Lloyd among: young and old alike. And there “ no reason why there should ever anything but @ pro- gressive increase in that popularity with .each succeeding picture—for Lioyd is one producer-star who knows the public taste for fun and knows how to appease that appetite. True, he produces only about one picture @ year—but therein may rest his sagacity. That one picture never falls short of the “wow” class. “Feet First” is a rollicking, breath- | taking production.

The leaflet calls attention to the law provisions for teaching tlie sub- Ject of temperance and alcohol in the schools and suggests matter for pre- senting lessons on the day set aside for the topic. There are quotations from eminent men and women— Shakespeare, Edison, Roosevelt—and the Bible, while several of the lead- ing athletic coaches are quoted against the use of tobacco, especially cigarettes. Dr. Haven Emerson, of New York, is quoted in seven indictments against the use of liquor, as supplying thoughts to be taught the children on this day. There are also a lot of questions to which teachers are ex- pected to supply answers in the form of instruction. Questions suggested for discussion in the schools are: Does drinking alcohol make men better socially? mentally? morally? Does drinking alcohol make a doc- tor more skillful? Does drinking alcohol make a teacher wiser? rs Does drinking alcohol preacher more spiritual? Does drinking alcohol make an edi- tor more clever? Does drinking alcohol make a me- chanic more skillful? Does drinking alcohol make a bank- er more businesslike? Does drinking alcohol make a mo- torist have better judgment? Does drinking alcohol make a sailor see farther? Does drinking alcohol father more loving? Does drinking alcohol make a hus- band more kind and thoughtful?

Editor of The Tribune: Mergers, ‘consolidations, “write-ups” of Public Utilities, and remote con- trol, concentrated in fewer hands from year to year are some of the fads in the business world, ingenuous and cunningly promoted, with the poor fish “public” taking a back seat. The worst of all these monopolies and trusts is the Group Banking holding company, and the Northwest thas been invaded by one holding company in Minneapolis and one in St. Paul, each taking over the “con- trol” of approximately 125 banks, and when you think of control, just say good bye to local representation, for if there are any they are cowed into! submission to the authority of the central bunch. | Those holding companies put out propaganda as to how wonderful it} will be, when a community needs help, that they will handle the situa-! tion so much better than before, but; make a make a tral jack pots? Ours in sur own com- munity and bossed by a foreign au- thority. Do you think you can put absolute confidence into such a scheme, that you will fare as well as an individual, or community by sur- rendering all your rights to control your own wealth? We must be ‘get- ting gullible to even permit such brazen and bold seizure of our wealth. Hoover, in a message about a year ago, mentioned group banking and questioned the wisdom of distant! companies controlling wealth which they had no natural right to control. Still, it goes on every day, but there must be a “nigger” in the wood pile. You don’t see any great bunch of capitalists rushing around and merg- ing @ lot of farmers by direct pur- chase, although they merge enough of them by mortgage. It is quite often rumored, and not idle talk, of those holding companies paying three to one for stock control. Someone will pay the bill, perhaps some of the foolish public in investing in the stock of holding companies of banks, The Sherman Anti-Trust law might be employed one of these days to give them a day in court, as to whether one holding company has the legal right to monopoiize the control of banks in various states. A holding company in the business world compares with a racketeer or a gangster, in that they want something they are not entitled to in the fair; dealing between citizens. Jesse James might have been a bad actor, but a town would soon rid it- self of one attempted hold up, but perpetual control to foreigri authority is @ permanent Jesse James. An outbreak of a dread disease would be a sad thing if it struck any town or community, byt a holding company dictating and bossing each penny and dollar your citizens have in the bank is one hundred times worse. It's just about the climax of scourges. Now, let’s hear from the propagan- \dists wanting some more of our banks. MR.
