CATHOLICS WILL. ST ART MISSION
 ON NEXT SUNDAY.
Rev. H. P. Bessette Ex- plains Purposes of Ap-
 preaching Work

A Mission Will begin next Sum- day. at the Catholic Church of < Nativity. The exercises of the Mission will be conducted by the Rev. H. P. Bessette. O. M. l., mem Der of the Mission Band of the English speaking Cblates of Can- ada, whose headquarters are in 1 Ottawa, Ont,
 l One purpose of Mission is to encourage faithful Catholics in the l fulfilling of their duties regularly in accordance with the spirit of the Church.
 | Tt seems, rather, it is difficult always to be good,s Father Bas- sette said in speaking of the Mis- sion. There are so many temp tations to go astray. The bad ex- ample of others around, the appar- ently happy life of many who are living wrongly, are a snare for those who endeavor to live rightly. A Mission is intended partly to encourage good people to contin-  ue the struggle.
 Chief Purpose of Mission
 The chief purpose of mission, however, is to try to recall to a sense of duty, those who have be- come careless or have fallen away entirely from the practice of re- hgion. It is call from God made particularly to them, to consider their spiritual position and repent before it is too late. It is great act of kindness and mercy on Gods part, testimony of the fact that Our Divine Saviour is still the friend of publicans and sinners, still the good Shepherd.
 Many fall away and refrain from returning because of fear. They are afraid to break away from evil companionship; they are afraid of the sneers of the crowd they move with; they are afraid to take the step necessary to reconciliation with God, namely Acknowledgement of their guilt.
 All Are Called
 ITO all of them, God is calling perhaps for the last time e-urging them to attend the Mission and be assured of His Infinite Love, Com passion, and Mercy.
 Next week is Holy Week, during which the Catholic Church recalls to mind the drama of Calvary and bids us remember that Our Divine Lord-the Victim of the Cross died for sinners, and ever pleads with them to talk advantage of His Redemption, and not permit His Precious Blood to be shed in vain for them.
 Tt is to be hoped, therefore, that all Catholics of this parish, both l those who are practical, and those who have strayed will take tn s 1 opportunity of profiting by the ex- ercises of the Mission to renew their allegiance to God and | strengthen their spirit of service.
 "Non-Catholics are welcome to attend the exercises of the Mission l and are assured that nothing will | ,oe said which will in any way hurt l the feelings of even the most sem sitive.
 The daily program for each day | of the Mission will be announced in | the previous nieht's Daper.

PRICE RISE SPURS
HOPE IN BUSINESS
For First Time Since 1929
Commodities Register
Seasonal Gains.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 4.-StudentS OF
business and trade trends have recently
received considerable encouragement
from the fact that the general level OF
commodity values, for the first time
since 1929, has been showing normal
EeaSonal advance.
In the four-month period from June
to September the United States Bureau
of Labor Statistics has found that in
only six of the past 80 years has an
advance in commodity prices failed to
materiaize. With the six exceptions,
during the Summer months the price
level has recorded an average advance
of approximately 5 per cent.
With but one exception, it is pointed
out, the six Summers were periods in
which business was in the throeS Of
basic readjustment. The price index in
the Summers Of 1880 and 1881 receded
28 and IL per cent, respectively. Farm
products dropped per cent in 1880
and per cent in 1881. Surveys now
indicate that commodity price levels. if
they are maintained, will finish the
Summer with the regular seasonal gain.
The better price tcne this year is said
to have started in the oil industry.
Other basic commodities which fol-
lowed, more or less timidly were sugar,
wheat, hogs and some other foodStuffs.
A few of the metals, principally lead,
indicated a degree of stabiliZation and
hides, rubber and cotton participated
moderately.
In addition to oil. the rise in hog
prices has done much TO bring some
light in the commodity darkness. In
the early part of June the average price
for hogs in the Chicago market was
1920 hundred pounds the lowest in
some 80 years. But at the end of June
hogs were quoted at $5 hundred and
the price has receded only moderately
since. The rise was attributedly almost
solely to decline in supply.

I once knew a middle-aged
man who claimed that he had
bean the victim of insomnia
since the age of 20, and was
convinced that it had not i'm
paired his health at all. He
declared, with some show Of
conviction, that he had not ex-
ceeded four hours Of sleep a
night during that time.
He usually went to bed at
10 to 10:30, and fell asleep
about IL. He usually woke UP
at 2, turned on his bed light
and read until about $3.50,
when he went to sleep again;
he woke up at $50. Then he
lay quietly and composed a
work on philosophy, or re-
peated to himself what he had
read during the night, until
$50 or z, when he arose.
He emphasized two things in
his experience. One was that
he had made up his mind long
before not to allow his in
Somnia to do him any harm.
The other was that although
he did not get much sleep, he
got as much rest in the "a
hours as anybody else.
The first part of the treat
ment of insomnia is to con-
vince oneself that those two
propositions are true. If you
know that the insomnia will

raised. Her obvious poverty,
her piteouS leanneSS, her ugli-
ness always disconnected him.
He would have liked her, he
thought, really liked her if he
had ever had an opportunity to
know her. She was like the
skeleton of a bird. Her eyes
we're dulled beads, her sharp
chin and nose would meet one
day; she picked at her food
with an exaggerated delicacy.
She was a wrath, unreal, not
wholly human.
Tears of Bitterness
Yet once, long ago, he re-
membered he had seen her
weeping bitterly. He had been
quite small at the time, he
had put his arms about her
and had tried to console her.
It was something his mother
had said to her-what, he
could not recall. Henrietta had
held him ito her flat breast,
to her frightened, unrevealed
heart. He had remained there,
a very gallant little boy, terri
fled at the sound Of the sobs
which shook him as well as
her, hating the musty odor of
her clothes, the unpleasant
fever of her breath. Then his
mother had taken him away,
had set him apart upon his
two small feet, had taken his
hand without a word and led
him into her room.
She had said nothing to him,
he remembered, but her hands
had passed lightly, ceaselesSly
over his little, velvet-clad body,
as though eraSing from it the
hot clutch of Henrietta's empty
arms.
Much later he had heard his
father talking to Henrietta, as
if he, too, were trying to COM
fort her. He had not seen her
again until the next morning
when she had crept to the
breakfast table, terribly nerv-
Gus, her eyes trimmed with
red, as they now were. His
father had said to him, later,
when they were alone, BE nice

The marvellous weather we've
been having for football games
is somewhat misleading. 1t
tempts us to forget that there
will be more games during No
vember when the cold winds
will blow, when there may be bit
ter weather for the spectators to
cheer through. So all enthus-
lasts had better look to their
wardrobes, and see if they have
something good and warm to
wear, something that will keep
the cold and the winds out.
We've shopped for just that pnr-
pose, and the things we're
recommending today are moder-
ately priced, so that you can
add them to your wardrobe with
out running your budget.
ChamOiS Jacket
Nothing is warmer tn a n
leather, but it is also quite bum
glesome if you have a whole
costume of it. So the little
suit we've sketched with part
chamois jacket is a happy COM
promise, chamois for the main
part of the top, but knitted
sleeves, vest and waistband, so
that it will fit better, yet will
break the wind as it blows
against you. This costume is
splendid for golf, too, as it gives
perfect freedom to your arms.
The Upper front may be worn
up or down, and there's room for
another light weight sweater ur1-
derneath. It comes in brown
with natural chamois, gray with
red chamoiS, and green with
brown chamoiS, a good dark
combination for active sports
such as golf. The gayer colors
are smartest for football,
though. It's priced $10.75, in
junior sizes, and you may find
it in larger versions, too.
Wool Jerkin
If you want something quite
different looking, we recommend
the other costume. It's knitted
too, but in fancier stitch, and in
quite unusual colorS. There's a
tuck.in blouse of c meshy, waffle
type knit, and a skirt in plain
color, buttoning on the shoulder
and down under the arm just
as they did in Robin Hoods
day. The colors are marvellous,
brown skirt and jerkin with
blouse in a rather gay, rust
shade, blue with gray blouse, a
= dull American beauty with gray
blouse, or green with gray. The
scarf is on the blouse, and has
stripes Of the plain knitted ma
terial. This costume is only
$40, and is in junior sizes, but
the large sizes are so amply cut
that they will do for a person
usually wearing IS.

not harm you, and that the
rest will be just as valuable
as sleep itself, more than half
the battle is won, because
more than half the trouble
with insomnia is fear. Fear
of insomnia.
Actually, to overcome in
somnia and restore proper
hours Of sleep is partly a
matter of mental treatment
and partly physical.
For the physical part it is
comforting to know that all
the common.senSe things we
have always assumed to be
true, have been proved so by
science.
The bedroom is important.
Colors, such as blue and green,
have quieting effect. Red,
orange and yellow are excit-
ing. Glass painters using CO.
bait blue often fall asleep at
their work.
Noise is the most sensitive
threshold conditioner of sleep.
The bed should be wide
enough to permit Of muscular
relaxation. The most impor-
tant thing about the bed is
It's size. A bed may be too
soft and increase the accu-
mutation of bodily heat, giving
a sense of suffocation that is
not restful.
The Washington times., 1932-10-28

When A bid 4-DiamondS, b
closed with 5-Diamonds. -
When different suits have
been shown by partners, and
they have compromised upon a
third suit, usually the best open
ing lead is a Trump. z led his
Ace Of Diamonds, followed by a
small Diamond. Dummy was in
the lead with the j of Trumps,
with only one Diamond out
standing. The declarer should
have figured that the six miss
ing Clubs probably were divided
40, but they might be evenly
split. Declarer's sane method
of playing the hand is to win
two Club tricks with his Ace
and K, to ruff one Club, then
to give opponents one Club
trick, in case that suit does not
break. This safe method of
play gives the declarer an al.
most sure five-odd, which is all
that has been bid. g
Instead of playing his hand
like a sane person, the de-
clarer led dummy'S lone club,
and took a finesse, winning
with his ]. If the club holdings
of w had been reversed that
method Of playing the clubs
would have put the contract
down one trick. Had z won with
the @ of Clubs, he would have
led his last imp, thereby pre-
venting dummy from ruffing a
losing club. Two club tricks and
the Ace of Diamonds would
have beaten the contract.
AS things went, B led club
and trumped the lead in dummy.
Then he took two tricks with
his two Aces. Upon the Ace of
Hearts the declarer discarded
his last spade. Ruffing himself
in by leading a low spade from
dummy, and trumping with his
10, just in case 2 held no more
spades, the declarer led his K OF
diamonds to pick up the trump
still outstanding. C
B had twic- led clubs, so that
his Ace and K were ena- ed to
pick up the Q-1G held by Y.
Then the hand was spread for
A414N4~ IS 4Ian &NSf0tYc
B had lost the one trick
taken by the Ace of diamonds
on the opening lead. Having
lost no other tricks, his one
trick over the contract made
the declarer feel good. In fact,
B quite fancied his method OF
play. AS remark that B had
won an extra trick only because
he had been a fool for luck,
came like a blow in the face.
B had not, even a suspicion that
he had played properly-in fact,
extra cleverly.
We either laugh at the
kibitzer, who looks at three
hands then tells what should
have been done to win more, or
we feel annoyed when that
strange bird with the Yiddish
name tells us a valued truth.
On the whole, kibitzer plays an
important role in the education
of players who need coaching.
Keep him on his job.
