Solution to Previous Contract

 Occasionally, we find hand that may have two or three ways of playing it. When you get a hand of this nature, don't blindly select a method of play-if pos- sible, try to plan your play so that you may change, if one line of attack fails. For example, today's hand looks as though 1t is going to be a cross-ruff proposition. There also Is a choice of establishing the long heart suit. Before starting the cross ruff 1t Is best to sec If the heart suit will establish, resorting to the cross-ruff if this line of attack fails.

That is the mission of the church and Catholic action is the lay or ganizatioIf for participating in the lchurch's mission. One function of Catholic action, therefore is 10 help make this peaceful world. a warless world and world Tn which Christian principles will exist in the relations between peoples and governments.
 We should sponsor and attend lectures and addresses at organi- zation meetings on topics dealing with phases of peace. We should attain greater knowledge of the life. and customs in foreign nations. Each of us should study the church's teachings regarding jus. Itice. charity, peace, war and disarmaments. Since we have an international faith knowing neither racial nor national barriers. :. we are especially obligated to z help in the solution of world problems which, left unsolved, work ire parable havoc on the economic. social, and moral life of every body"
 | Miss Fryer discussed Ethics of Relations" and Miss Kathleen, Fitzgerald reviewed Sir
 Philip Gibbs ."The Cross of Peace" q.
 \ Miss Farley urged support of
 the movement to get the United
 States into the League of Nations She pointed out that although the League Is imperfect in many re- spects, it is the only means at present for conciliation and arbi- tration between nations.
