Lillian Rixey Still 4 Star,

7 LILLIAN RIXEY, a familiar name
- among the city's foremost junior
girl players 10 years ago, Is the come
back" heroine. To many a mysterious
entrant when she began her 60, 6-3
defeat Of Polly Preston yesterday, it
turned out that she was the same
little figure who was Westerns inter-
high champion 10 years ago and who
left the city just as her influence was
about to bud In senior ranks The
transfer of her Army officer father
back to Alexandria has given her a
chance to resume where she left off
IN 1927.
Either Miss Greason or Miss Rixey
were to be eliminated this afternoon,
however, as the luck Of the draw
throws them together at o'clock this
svening on the Rock Creek courts.
Miss Ellis. on the other hand, will
DOT be called upon to play until to-
morrow at the earliest. Her next op-
ponent Is none other than Mary
Cootes. District champion, who was to
make her debut against Helen Davis
at o'clock tonight and then must
take on Mary Bouve in second-round
match before playing Miss Ellis. But
the latter continued her sensational
play Yesterday with Ga, Ga defeat
Of Dorette Miller, sixth-ranking player
Of the District, and will be no long
shot when she meets Miss Cootes.

ance feature Of the order.
In his remarks Father Coughlin
pointed out the fact that wherever
man has lived In this world there
has always been religion, thus prov
ing that he Is essentially and in
herently a religious being, just as
he Is social one. He pointed out
the forces that are at work in our
midst these days, seeking to break
down all religion, particularly those
Of atheism and communism.
Practical means by which the av-
erage Catholic may fight these ef-
forts to produce goddess nations and
peoples we're cited. The Knights
of Columbus members we're exhort-
ed TO participate in their manifold
program Of Catholic Action, offer
| ing as IL does a fine opportunity
for all to engage in an activity CO.
related to religious effort.
Mr.. Conner explained the work.
ings Of Knights of Columbus insur-
ance and how 1t was devised and
how 1t has worked so many bene-
fits In households where they were
