"A S POINTED out in article No.
~ 13, no matter how many
values there may be in the
declarer's hand, if he names a suit
at least two of these values should
be in that suit. There are exceptions,
which we shall come to later, when a
hand may be too strong to pass up
the bid, and too good spake or
heart to risk no-trump. When the
four or more values are scattered
among three or four suits, the hand
is usually a no-trumper, which we
shall deal with in the next article.
When there are only two values
in the suit named, and only four in
the hand, the chief reason for the
call is to show the partner something
while it is cheap. 1t may require too
high bid by the time it gets around
again. There are four combina-
tions which are worth normally two
tricks, which may be easily remem-
bered by observing that they are just
one "sure" trick, for defense.
A @, A j, A, X @.
Some players estimate the A Q
combination as worth little more
than trick, because of the posi-
bility of winning two; but there is
also the possibility of losing the
queen to the king and the ace being
trumped or discarded.
AS between two suits, two values
in each, the safe plan is to call the
minor suit first if one is minor
There are two ways in which the call
may be useful. The more obvious is
in indicating a lead, in case the
opponents get the contract. The
other and much less obvious, is to
enable the partner to count up the
hand as containing tricks in some
other suit. If the partner knows, by
his own holding, that it is impos-
sible for the caller to have more than
two values in the suit he names, he
can often locate the other two values
by the bidding. This is one of the
finer points of the game, which few
players realize the Importance of

Question-If one player has nothing
left but a king and calls stop of his
opponent, what use is it? Does it draw
the game, or does the adversary go
right along &C. M. G.
Answer-By calling the stop, the ad-
versary is compelled to play the card
into the space that he has overlooked,
which may give the player with the
king an opening.

First American Edition of the Hebrew Scriptures Was Put In Type in
 Philadelphia.

The first American edition of the He brew Scriptures was put in type at Philadelphia by William Fry.
 The first translation of the Scrip lures into English by Jewish scholar in America was that of Isaac Leeser of Philadelphia in 1858. and the first English version prepared by group of Jewish scholars is that of the Jew ish Publication society of America, Philadelphia, 1917.
 One of the most important and wide ly used revisions of the Rheims-DOuay version was that of Archbishop Ken drick of Philadelphia. 1S51-62.
 Ben Franklin didn't think the Ian. guage of the King James version suffi- ciently up to date to suit the literatl of his time, and he tried his improving hand on the Book of Job with this re. suit:
 "And 1t being levee day in heaven. all Gods nobility came to court to pre- sent themselves before him; and Satan also appeared in the circle, as one of the ministry. And God said to Satan : You have been a long time absent ; where were you? And Satan an- swered: I have been at my country seat, and in different places visiting my friends"

WONDERFUL ANIMAL THE GNU
And Voice Would Seem to Be Not the Least of Hls Remarkable
 Qualities.

Few people know what a satisfac- tory animal Is the gnu. Quite num- Der of hoofed animals, like the ibex and the sacred OK, are mere tiresome combinations of Burbankism, but the gnu has qualities all his own. His head is homely as an unpainted barn fiat nose and very broad mouth and ears misshapen and uncouth His body Is that of an exceedingly powerful pony, with strong neck and rakish tail. His galvanic energy puts to shame the glorious abandon of a cat on a tin roof.
 When I arrive before his inclosure he has usually retired to the shed In which he sleeps and stands in the doorway with far-away eyes. Efforts to entice him forth are futile. I turn at last as If to go, and as I move he bursts forth with the most heathenish cry that ever clattered from an ami nal throat. If 1t resembles anything, It Is the trench klaxon that warns of an impending gas attack-a series of staccato shrieks which would shake the teeth from a band saw. I don't see how he can stand the noise he makes. Arm rabbit with the voice of gnu and lions will slink from his path.
 Reaching the bars of his inclosure in three or four astounding leaps, the gnu halts, with head averted and feet wide apart, ignoring me literally. When I move to right or left he re mains motionless until 15 feet are be- tween us; then he closes the distance with a bound, shrieks terribly twice or thrice, and once more affects to be utterly oblivious of my presence. When finally leave him the chatter of his fearful voice pursues me for hundreds of feet, drowning all other sounds Atlantic Monthly.

There was a joint celebration of Alaska and Columbus days in the assembly last Friday. The officers of the freshman class pre- sided over the assembly. There was a program given by the freshmen, followed by patriotic songs. At the close of the as- sembly there were quite a num- Der of interesting speeches made by the visitors. The visitors were Mrs. Mccormack, Mrs. Paul, MT. and Mrs. Johnson, Mir. Bromley, and MT. Carruthers.
 The first basket ball game of the season was played last We'd nesday evening between the Lazy Five and Wrangell High. The Lazy Five defeated the Wrangell High by one point in a fast and very exciting game.
 Miss May Crosno received a letter from the Northwestern Di- vision of the Junior Red Cross. It stated that the Wrangell school was the third to respond to the roll call out of Washington, Ore. gon. Idaho, Montana, and Alaska. Ketchikan was the first.

They All Wondered
 When Slavens Made
 Advent in West End

The residents of Adams street were all excited. A man had moved bunch of used cars onto a big vacant lot bounded by Adams street, Fourth and Fifth avenues. Was he nutty? Did he imagine he could eyer get any business away out there?'
 They grinned as they asked these questions Many felt pity for him. Automobiles whizzed by without stop ping. You've got plety of room here, anyway" people said with heavy ac- cent on the room"
 That was only seven months ago. Today the Auto Salvage company has croH ded the vacant lot with hundreds of cars and many tons of parts fill the orderly bins that have arisen there as if by magic. Instead of whizzing by the cars now stop in great numbers and the street curb that had never be- fore been occupied except by weeds is now crowded all day long with parked autos. From the once vacant lot now go daily packages by express and par eel post to all parts of Arizona.

 ANIMAL HOSPITAL

The average man who loves a dog will experience a tug at his heart strings if he visits the Veterinary Sanftarium" conducted by Dr. J. C. McGrath in the rear of his office and home at 401 West Jefferson street, in the old Sam Sneed house.
 Dr. McGrath served with the Elev- enth cavalry at Fort Oglethorpe during the war, after having graduated from the San Francisco Veterinary college in San Francisco in 1914
 A resident of Phoenix since 1892, he is now secretary of the Arizona Veteri- nary Medical association and a mem Der of the American Veterinary Medical association, with headquarters in Chi cago.
 Much of his local practice consists of dog patients, although he is con- tinually called by ranchcrs owning cat tie or horses who have been injured or whose maladies baffle the ordinary home remedies

are contemplating the erection of new buildings in the west end.
 At the present time there are no less than a half dozen new buildings under course of construction in that section of the city. Practically all of them are of concrete, fireproof and embodying new and up- to date features, making that section of the city one of the most desirable.
 There is. nothing small about the west end of Phoenix. Some of the in- stitutions are the largest of their kind in the state. For instance the Manu featuring Stationers on West Adams street has the largest job printing shop in Arizona. with a number of depart ments which cannot be found any where else. The Allison Spring com pany is the largest blacksmith shop in the state. The Phoenix Trunk factory is the leader in it's line in Arizona, and the Auto Salvage company heads the list in wrecIing cars and salvaging parts. The w. F. Gardner company which distributes the Marmon, Cleve- land and Chandler cars, has contracted for s2,00o,0C0 worth of machines for the coming pear said to be the largest contract of it's kind entered into in Arizona.
 And so the west end' has come into it's own. The merchants and heads of the various organizations are prog ressive and .l<now that the future IS we'll stored with prosperity for them. They are in a comparatively new sec ton of the town and they believe that it has a wonderful future, that in course of time they will be in the new est And most up to date section of the city and in keeping with this move ment they are doing everything in their power to make their places of business attractive. They want the people of Phoenix to realize they are on the map. and they intend that they shall know it.

 The oldest business west. of Second avenue has been in the same place for 25 years. When it was established in the same building which it now oc- oupies the founder was told he was told he was foolish, that the rest of the city would never reach him, and that he would be isolated for the re- mainder of his existence. For 20 years it looked if the others had been right. but a few years ago, the west ward trend started and today he is surrounded with prosperous and. thriv ing business houses on every side. As a matter of fact his factory is almost in the center of the district.
 And great things are to be expected of that west end" They are close to the railroad tracks, with ample ware house facilities on the south. They have plenty of room in which to ex- pand to the west and to the north, and above all things every street in that section of the city is paved
 The automobile industry first start ed the movement which has culminat- ed in the building up of that section.
 Forced to seek larger quarters, the Overland Arizona, the W. E.. Gardner company, Cal Messner, the Motor Equipment company, the Southern Border Motor compahy, North Broth CTS company, the Auto Salvage cora- pany. the Dunbar Spring company, and the Allison Spring company, have all established themselves in that sec- tion of the city.
