In view of VS. bid and rebid OF the

The heart suit looks like one OF four
cards, while the diamond suit should be
one OF seven or more. A bid OF four
spades or FIVE clubs, OF course, Is out OF
the question. Il is a case OF taking loss
on either four heart or FIVE diamond
bid, but the latter will undoubtedly be
the lesser of two evils. In the actual
hand, the contract was defeated 600
points at four hearts. while at FIVE dia
monds w would have lost only SOC
points - quite difference.

En- estados como ell de Chihuahua, la ensenanza, unifcada dnGa-

En- la Baja California, 10 razonable sera la agricultural, ensenanza

sucesivamente tomando en- cuenta las condolences que caracterizan a

Lo primero, para poder contar con genie it'll, que es 10 que la

que en- nuestras escuelas los alumnos saben al dedino los limites de
Europa y desconocen los lmnes de su propio estado.
Las Entidades Federativas de Mexico son tan grandes Y cuentan
con recursos tan diferentes, que la miicacon de esas desarmonias, no

Por las razones expuestas, llegamos a la conclusion de que las
