and between them they were very glad
to get OF so oheaply as to lose only 100
points in honors. their adversaries soOr-
ing nothing toward game.
The adversaries soon found that IL
was not worth while to waste their
strength on such small gains The only
remedy they had was to get into the
bidding themselves, and so sure was the
dealer that they would bid something
IL they had the strength and third hand
passed. that the dealer took advantage
OF the new condition OF things thus brought
about. and gradually got into the habit
OF bidding one spade as a starter. no
matter what he had. confident that he
would have an opportunity to bid on the
full value Of his hand when it came around
to him again. Instead of bidding one
spade on nothing at all, the dealer would
bid one spade on anything short OF seven
or eight sure tricks in his own hand.
without any assistance from his partner.
It was only when he feared that no one
else had anything that he bid freely
himself
This evolved another complication,
because when the adversaries knew,that
one spade did not mean weakness they
passed. and left the dealer to play his
big hands with nothing but spades for
trumps when he might have gone game
with a legitimate declaration. The
dealers tactics being TO bid spades with
a view to shifting when it came around
to him again. the adversaries' tactics
were to refuse him this opportunity to
change and il became necessary for the
dealers partner to pull him out Of his
one spade bid. This led to the established
convention that il the dealer bid one
spade. third hand must overosii it, so as
to give the dealer chance.
II the third hand had anything he
named the suit. II his hand was very
bad he conveyed that information by
bidding two spades. While this opened
the door for the dealer TO shift. il also
shut the door on his refuge. because
the penalties on a bid OF two spades are
unlimited. IL the dealer let it stand at
two spades, having nothing. he was in
for a heavy loss. with no possibility OF
anything but the most trihing gain. as
he was laying odds OF rs TO on his ability
to get eight tricks out of two worthless
hands. n he shifted he often went
deeper into the hole as he had no idea
what he was doing. his partners bid
simply declaring weakness in high cards
without naming any suit in which he
might have at least length.

There is evolution in everything appar-

bridge seems To be undergoing q gradual

One OF the best evidences OF the charges
Is the fact that we are continually reduc-
ing the value of the rubber. which shows
that We are constantly eliminating our
mistakes. When H. II. Ward OF Boston.
captain Of the champion American Club
team and famous as the best bridge
player in the United States. first took
up auction he kept careful records Of the
results. He found that the average value
~ all the rubbers played during one
month early last year was q gain Of $50
points for the winners as against an aver
age gain Of 40 in bridge.
Since that time he has found that with
the growing experience Of the players, the
better understanding between partners
and more systematic study OF the tao
ties of the game the value OF the ru bber
has been steadily and surely reduced.
until now il is very little more than double

The Cause of Colds Good Advice Regarding the Prevention of Coughs and
 Colds

If people would only fortify and strengthen the system, the majority of cases of coughs. colds and pneumonia might be avoided. These troubles are freauently due to weakness. which pro- duces a catarrhal condition of mucous membrane. which is an internal skin of the body. When this skin is weak ened it becomes easily infected with germs which cause many of the dis eases to which flesh is heair. Healthy mucous membranes are essential safe guards of the body's general health.
 An excellent aid in the prevention of coughs, colds, pneumonia and such like infectious diseases. is a remedy that will prevent or cure catarrh.
 We have a remedy which We hone estly believe to be unsurpassed in eX- cellence for the prevention of coughs, colds and all catarrhal conditions. It is the prescription of a famous phy- sician, who has an enviable reputation of thirty years of cures gained through the use of this formula. We promise to make no charge for the medicine should it fail to do as we claim. We urge everybody who has need of such a medicine to try ReXall Mucu-Tone.
 1t stands to reason that we could not afford to make such statements and give our own personal guarantee to this remedy if we were not prepared to prove the rcasonableness of our claim in every particular. and we sec no reason why any one should hesitate to accept our offer and try it. We have two sizes of TceXan Mucu-Tone, prices 90 cents and t1. Sometimes 5o-cent bottle is sufficient to give marked re- lief As a general thing the most chronic case is relieved with an average of three large bottles.

THE "GYROm0PtAHE'
 FOR FAST TRAVEL
It Win Prove a Speed Wonder If Any
 one Every .lnvents It.

A Phoenix man who has no money and very few friends, stood on the cor ner yesterday and indulged himself in telling what he would like to do if he had both. or either He knows how to make a fortune if he only had little shelp. through the invention and perfection of what he calls the "Syromo- plane" utilizing the best features of the gyroscope, the automobile and the aero plane. He says the machine would surely be a winner and would clean up everything yet invented for racing, while it would discount all three of the prcscn machines for safety and speed.
 The foundation of the machine would be of the automobile type. That is. 1t would have an automobile frame and in all essentials be an improved automobile. The framework would be stronger than most machines, of a ne- cessitv. though it would probably be found that three wheels would be pref erable to four as the single wheel would permit the operator to handle i, better on curves or in an emer- gcncy,
 on either side would be d gyroscope. built as lightly as safely could be done to serve it's purpose. which would be to insure equilibrium in fast travel ing. At an ordinary rate of speed the three wheels would be ample for that purpose. Ease of manipulation and assurance of equilibrium would be almost perfect In front of the ma chine would be affixed a box plane such as Curtiss uses on his machines for elevating aeroplanes in the air and controlling elevation. IL would not be the purpose of this device to lift the machine entirely off the ground but only to partly lift ii, or relieve the great weight on the ground. thus at the same time lessening the friction between the three wheels and the road. The faster the machine travelled the more easily 1t could be elevated. as Tn the case of the airship. When a bad piece of road is encountered. little sand for instance, or. a rough place all the driver would have to do would be to tilt his planes up a bit. put on the power and skip along skimming the ground with half the weight held up by the plane. which would be prop eriy proportioned in size, through eX- pertinent.
 And then, said the dreamer. | would equip this strongly built frame work with a 50O-horsepower engine and the way I would burn up things would put
 a gas meter to shame.

 Forecase till D. m.. Thursday. mountain time:
 For Phoenix and Vlcinity-Fair to- night and Thursday.
 For .Arizona-Tonight generally fair; colder north portion; Thursday fair.
 Weather Conditions.
 The severe cold wave in attendance upon the high pressure area located oyer the Pacific northwest at the last charting is progressing rapidly east ward across the upper Missouri and upper Mississippi valleys, having caused a general reduction in tempera- ture of Is to 26 degrees over the Rocky mountain region. the central plateau and the Mississippi valley. Minimum temperatures of Is to 20 de- grees below zero were recorded at sta- tions in Minnesota, the Dakotas. Wy oming and Montana A secondary at- mospheric depression, or storm cen- ter. has developed over northern New Mexico. and is causing moderate to brisk winds over the southwest. The primary depression moved rapidly eastward from Nebra ska to northern New England. with decreased energy. having produced general. though light. precipitation over the southwest. the central valleys and the lake region. Temperatures are somewhat higher over the east gulf and Atlantic states. Clear weather prevails over the Rocky mountains and the Pacific states; cloudiness elsewhere.

If nays to advertise. There was never a finer illustration of this world wide and all- time truth than was fur nished in the experience of real es- tate agent of this city day before yes terday
 Preliminary to statement of that exnerience it IS necessary to allude to q noculiaritv of the Osborn school dis trict. that is of all the people of that district. To a man, woman and cnlid' they believe that they have the pest school in the entire public school sys- tenn of the United States. They have not made studious effort at the con cealment of their impressions regard ing the excellence Of their school They not only frequently speak of 1t them selves. believing that they are violat- ing no confidence, but through the columns of The Republican which IS alluded to in that neighborhood as the organ of the Osborn district. they have published to the world that the Osborn school is the permanent wearer of>the blue ribbon. Tn this way. the views or the Osbornites regarding their scnooi have been widely diseminted.
 Now comes the experience of the real estate man. A gentleman who latelv arrived from the east with the intention of making this valley his home had decided before he came that he would locate in the osborn district He was driven by the real estate man all over that part of the country ana the other day he found place north Of the city that suited him. The price was also satisfactory but the agent could not tell him whether the farm lay m the Osborn district. The pros pective purchaser insisted on knowing that before proceeding further.
 The agent made inquiry and learned that the farm was not in the Osborn district but was so nearly in 1t that it touched it on the south. The deal seemed about to fail when the matter was brought to the attention of the trustees who came to the relief of the agent They urged that the intending purchaser might send his children to the Osborn school.
