SOCIAL CHANGES
CALLED NEED

Pleading the cause of the unem-
ployed, the Right Rev. James
Hugh Ryan, rector of Catholic
University, yesterday asserted the
need of a new social order to
insure endurance of modern civili.
zation. He spoke in a sermon
broadcast from the Church of the
Immaculate Conception.
Neither economic or spiritual
unrest would prevail today, he
said, had there been the universal
acceptance of The principles of
Christian justice and charity.
The principle of the new social
order, the Rev. Ryan continued,
must emanate from the universi-
ties because the university is the
great power house where the
currents of national energy and
character are stored up and from
which they flow out to vivify and
strengthen the national life.'
The Rev. Francis j. Hurney,
pastor of the church and director
Of the broadcast services, presided.

WASHINGTON FASHIONS

This is the year that you can
pay your own price for clothes.
You can get them as low
priced as you wish, or you can
pay more and get better
things. But be sure if you
want them better, you must
pay at least a part Of what
you used to pay before prices
dropped so amazingly. You
can get pretty good clothes at
very low prices, quite good
clothes at moderate prices, and
for prices much lower than
they used to be, you can get
excellent things. But don't
forget that you really get what
you pay for, and if you want
your clothes to look we'll through
the season, you must pay
enough to get quality Of mate
rial and workmanship, and good
fit.
Quality Pays
Many women who have
bought very cheap washable
clothes, and have had them
pull out at the seams, shrink,
or lose their color in the first
laundering. have decided it's
well worth while to pay a little
more and get something better
that can be depended on for
the whole season, and perhaps
hold over into another summer.
So right now there's a demand
for cottonS and washable silks
Of a little better grade. Ap-
proximately IS buys q good cot
ton dress, but if you pay SO you
get a so much better dress that
you can easily see the differ
ence, and will get the longer
wear as we'll. So today we're
sketching a SO cotton, in the
hope that you can see how
much better it is, and perhaps
be influenced to spend your
money for more worth.
A Separate Cape
This dress is an eyelet batiste,
a. fabric you can get in prac-
tically any price range, but one
that shows quality very easily,
as the cheaper grades are rag
ged looking, do not hold their
embroidery very well and are
not as interesting in design. It
is beautifully embroidered and
comes in white or the popular
paStels. pink, blue, green or
yellow. The white dress has
woke effect and sleeves in color,
the paStelS with white. AS 1t
has sleeves, it can be worn
without the cape. but for street,
it is very smart and suitable
with the separate cape jacket.
There is a good quality kid belt
on II, and o bouqNet OF smart

Apparently bidding went alike
at all tables, in any event Y
played the hand at 4-Hearts
in every instance. The COM
mon procedure was: z. 1-Spade;
Y, 2-Hearts; z, 2-Spades; Y, g.
Hearts; z, 4-Hearts. Nobody
doubled.
In nearly all instances B's
opening lead was the 4 Of
clubs. Noting that Y could
have only two cards higher
than the that was led, about
half the players sitting in the
A position, finessed the ], and
lost, but in the end that natural
method of attempting to gain
q defensive trick, cost them
nothing, except in one case.
At Table 4, when Y won the
opening lead with his Q OF
clubs, he at once led his lone
spade. B won the trick, and
then the latter led the Q Of
diamonds. Dummy's Ace took
the trick, and the 6 Of Hearts
was led. A false-carded his 10:
Y put up his @; BIS Ace won
the trick and B led back q
trump. Dummy won the trick,
and upon a lead of durnmy's
K of spades, the declarer dis
carded his last remaining club.
That was the only table max
ing a trick above contract.
At two tables where A won
on opening lead with his Ace Of
Club, he returned the singleton
spade, hoping that B held the
Act of Spades and that Y had
at least two cards of that suit,
so that A might ruff spade.
Of course, that stratagem
worked out poorly.
Two players sitting in the B
position, made opening leads of
the Ace of Hearts, followed by
a low heart. This was done hop
ing to prevent a croSs-ruff be-
ing started. But the declarer
had no need of cross-ruffing; he
led another round of trumpS:
gave his opponents one spade
trick and one club trick, in ad-
dition to the trump trick pre-
viouSly lost, and made his four
odd, just as was the case at
all tables except one.
Before leading, B made up his
mind that the lack of forcing
tactics indicated that. A prob.
ably held one quick trick.
Probably that was either the
Ace of Diamonds or the Ace of
Clubs; B did not care which
ace his partner held, but he
did want to defeat the game
contract. B led his lone Queen
Of Diamonds, rs ace won the
trick, and a return lead of
hearts left B again in the lead.
B led his fourth-best club. A
won the trick, and he led back
a low diamond. Y put UP his
10, and B trumped the trick.
Later in the hand B won the
fourth trick for his side with
his Ace of Spades. Perhaps it
is strange that more than one
player did not think of leading
his singleton diamond. as long
as held the the ace of trumps,
and the ace of spades, assuring
him of the ruff. in case A held
either minor ace.

Victory
He had believed that victory
would come
With banners blowing brightly
in the sun.
With loud acclaim and "Bravo!"
Welcome home!"
And rich rewards Of high
deeds nobly done.
He had foreseen himself amid
the crowd,
A grateful man and gracious,
yet assured
OF his own worth, and conf.
dent and proud,
Because of hardships valiantly
endured.
And now! He stood within O
dusk-dimmed room,
No blarc of trumpets and no
marching feet;
Only within his soul the sud-
den bloom
OF peaceJ and ranks of evil
in retreat.
With haggard look he stood
where none might see
While round him scared the

Advice to the
Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
A Late Discovery
Dear Miss Fairfax:

A Late Discovery
Dear Miss Fairfax:
You have helped so many
people with your helpful ad-
vice that I am sure you will
be able to help me with the
following. I know a man who
at one time cared for me a
great deal. I did not care
for him very much then, so
I gave him up. We parted
and did not see each other
for some time, and during this
period I realized how much I
really cared for him. We re-
Gently met. I now see that he
does not care for me as much
as he used to. What can 1
do to win back his love, be-
cause I love him deeply? B.
My dear, do you really care,
or is it the old story of having
lost a possession, and discover
ing after it is gone that it had
have value? So many girls
write me letters like yours.
There really isn't much to do ex-
cept to try and make it up with
the young man. But if he did
come back, wouldn't you again
be indifferent and feel that he
didn't matter particularly in
your life?
"You never miss the water till
the well runs dry" as the old
song has it. He has probably
an inkling Of this, and, like
most men, is taking seeming in
difference philisophically.

Your Health
And Diet
LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.

We pointed out yesterday that
the digestive tract being the
oldest part of our animal or
ganism is particularly likely to
be upset whenever anything
happens to the whole body.
Most indigestion, in other
words, is not due to actual or
ganic disease of the organs OF
digestion. Most indigestion is
reflex. Some of it is reflex from
blood disease or heart disease.
The largest part is reflex from
nervous disease. 1t is truly
nervous dyspepsia.
Take the case of "billious-
ness" Most doctors scott at
the idea of there being any
such thing as billiousness. And
in the literal Interpretation OF
the term they S:e right. Bilious
ness means a disease due to the
absorption of bile or the ab'
normal accumulation Of bile in
the system. No such condition
can be proved to exist.
Yet patients continue to COM
plain of billiousnesS. What do
they mean by it? Usually they
say it comes on in attacks. The
symptoms are a logy feeling, a
feeling of stoppage of the intest-
tines, a little nausea, headache,
and spots before the eyes. They
always feel that if they can get
cleaned out" they will be bet
ter. This gets all the bile out
of their systems, according to
their theory.
Yet medical men say their
theory is wrong. That there
is no such thing as biliousness.
But, you may ask, if it isn't
biliouSness, what is the cause
of these sensations they have?
Well, the real hints to the
situation are that it comes on
in attacks, with nausea, head
ache and spots before the eyes.
In short, what they call "bil-
iousness" is usually mild
form of migraine. And mi
graine is a functional disease
of the nervous system.
The reflex dyspepsia of gall
stones is another very frequent
form of Indigestion in which
the exciting cause is outside
the stomach. True enough,
gallstones form in the gall blad-
der, and the gall bladder is a
part of the digestive system.
But to the extent that the gall
bladder is ouside the actual
muscular tube of the stomach
and intestines when it sets up
symptoms aScribable to them,
the symptoms are reflex.
I am referring now to gall
bladder symptoms that are
readily recognized as originat-
ing in the gall bladder. In
other words, not to collie from
gallstones or pain over the gall
bladder due to inflammation.
The reflex symptoms are differ
ent. When patients with reflex
gall bladder symptoms are OBJ
served by the X-ray the entire
stomach and intestinal tract
are seen to be in a state of
Spasm. This is the cause of
the symptoms of abdominal
construction, nausea, eructation
of gas, and other dyspeptic
symptoms OF gall bladder dis
ease. 1t is, of course, one Of
the forms of dyspepsia that
can be relieved by surgery.
