''Is two no trump bid always an absolute. force, and what are the proper responses?" is a ques- | ton asked of the writer. & I prefer to call on original two no trump bid forcing bid. How ever, this might be subject ito some criticism.
 If. my partner held an absolute Marlborough, which is a hand con- taining no cards higher than a nine, and if the distribution were 4-3-3-3, would not wish him to respond to my two no trump bid -I would prefer that he pass. But being optimistic, prefer to think that will never get a partner who will hold such a mis- erable hand when am dealt a two no trump bid. In other words. 1t is so seldom that an original two no trump bid can be passed that one is practically safe in treating it as an absolute force. The weakest responses are three of a suit, and when partner bids three no trump, to bid four in that suit. This was explained in my last article.
 TO bid three no trump simply says to partner that while you are taking him to game, you have no suit that holds forth any hope. and are not in any way inviting him to continue. si
 To invite a siam,. after a. two no trump bid, partner should have we'll balanced hand with about two, tricks and some scat tered protection. Many players make thei mistake of Inviting a slam by showing suit. Take for example the following hand: s Spadcs-A-Q.4 Hearts--K-J-8 Diampnds-~-A-K-Q-s,2
 Clubs---A-J s...i. 5 < The hand contains a biddable fiye-card suit, but the greatest advantage comes to the hand from the opening lead, and it is an ideal combination to open up with two no trump. Supposing part ner held the. following hand: Spades-J.7.0 Heartfs-A4
 DlanOnds--0-4-3
 CIubs--K-Q-1O-7-3
 What would your response be?l Not three clubs, as that might be showing weakness. Three no trump? No encouragement.
 The hand contains great deal of strength and an invitation for q slam should be made. Many players, however. would make the mistake of bidding four clubs

STRAY CATS AND DOGS

The zeal Of those who stress the i'm
portance of kindness to animals may some
times appear to be manifestation of sem
timentality, yet there is generally behind it
a sincere and laudable impulse.
While it may be argued that the SIM
pathy and effort expended on unfortunate
animals might better be exerted in behalf
of human beings, the fact is that those who
consideration are more likely to exhibit a
similar attitude toward their fellowmen
A New York womens organization re-
ports that during a single year it found
homes for 667 homeless dogs and $40 stray
cats, while 68 dogs and 10 cats were re-
tags on collars. Bronze medals were pre-
sented to two men who saved dog at con-
siderable risk to themselves.
An important work of such an organ
ization is the humane education of children,
many if not most of whom have an APP
parent tendency to make life miserable for
helpless animals, particularly those not
their own. In some cases the mistreatment
of animals is merely the result of thought
lessness and may be checked by kindly adj
1nonition, in others there appears to be a
tendency toward wanton cruelty, which
sterner measures are necessary to repress.
The teaching of kindness to animals
should have place in the training of every
child and it can be taught better by per-
sonal example than in any other way. To
befriend stray cat or dog is to teach
lesson in humaneness to all who observe the
act. And such lessons are worth while.

A $12O,ooo BIBLE

An idea of the amazing amount of
money represented by literary and art
treasures brought to America during the
recent years may be suggested by the price
of $4,000 paid by an American collector
for Gutenberg bible, printed at Mainz,
Germany, on the worlds first printing
press.
This is said to be the highest price
ever paid for a single book, but within a
few years it may bring great deal more.
A similar bible sold for only $4,000 about
80 years ago.
When j. P. Morgan, the elder, died in
1918, his art treasures were valued at close
to 500, 100000. His manuscripts included
the originals of nine novels by Sir Walter
Scott, Dickens 1.-THE Christmas Caro-"
Thackerays Vanity Fair" and many
works by Keats, Poe, Whittier, Longfellow
and others A single purchase of TOO books
by Mr. Morgan in 1902 cost him a million
and a quarter dollars.
The late Henry Huntington left col
lection for which he had paid about twenty
millions. The finest collection of Shake
speare's works in existence is in the Folger
library in Brooklyn.
Europeans have long deplored the ac-
ouisition of their library and art treasures
by Americans, but so long as they are
highly priced by our wealthy men, they
will continue to come to our shores.

CITY OF FIVE FLAGS

The distinction of having been under
five different flags belongs to Mobile, Ala.
I'm fact, it has changed flags seven times,
as brief account of its strange record VIII
show.
Founded by d'Iberville in 1902, Mobile
was in French possession until 1853, when
it passed to England by the Treaty of Paris.
It was taken by Spain in 1880, captured oy
the United States in 1913, taken by the
English in the same year, and restored 10
the United States by the Treaty of Client III
1915. It flew the Stars and Bars of the
Confederaey during the Civil War, after
which it again came under the Stars ana
Stripes.
The Battle of Mobile Bay, on August
5. 1864, in which Admiral Farragut de-
feated the Confederates, was one OF the
principal naval engagements of the war;
costing the Federals 335 men, while the
Confederate loss was 10 killed, 16 wounded
and $50 taken prisoners.
Mobile was in serious financial dlffi-
culties during reconstruction days and lost
its charter in 1876, when commission vas
established to liquidate its debt of two and
a half million dollars A new charter was
obtained in 1886. In recent years the city
has made much progress and in 1880 had
8 population of 68,202.
Pensacola, Fla, has also been under
five flags. It's history in that respect closely
paraileling that of Mobile.
