/, Here is an interesting fact:
Young insects never have wings
when they hatch from eggs.
Before obtaining wings, in
sects must go through at least
two stages of growth. Some of
them spend their early lives in
water. The young Of dragonf1ies
are among those who stay in
water before they turn into fly
ing adults.
Some one may suggest that ants
are insects, and that they never
do have wings. 1t is true that
worker ants go through life with
out wings. but most queen ants
have wings for a time. The wings
are broken off when a queen ant
settles down to carry out her
egg-laying duty. Male ants also
have wings, but their lives are
much shorter than those of Ell
ther the workers or the queens.
Quite aside from worker ants,
there are insects which fail to
develop wings. These tnclude

From the days of whist most
of the textbooks have stressed re-
turning partners lead at your
first opportunity. Little advice
has been given, however, on when
it is better to shift. Practically
nothing has been written about
when the opening leader himself
should attack a new suit when
he gets the lead.
Defending against no-trump,
you should generally return your
partners suit when it is obvious
that he has led from suit of
four or more cards. But there
are many exceptions. Against
suit contracts, the deSirability of
q shift occurs even more fire.
Quently.
Those who like to learn rules
which always apply will find little
comfort in digging into this sub
ject. The only constant rule is
that you should consistently ap-
ply hard thinking.
In today's deal Mr.. Abel led
the six of spades and Mr.. Dale
won in his own hand with the
ace He finessed the queen of
diamonds and Mr.. Muzzy won
with the king.
Now, impressed by his heart
holding. Mr.. Muzzy returned the
king of that suit. This was all
Mr.. Dale needed to bring in an
otherwise hopeless contract. He
won with the ace of hearts and
cleared the diamond suit by CIV
ing Mr.. Muzzy another trick with
the jack. However, he was then
able to win nine tricks as his
jack of hearts stopped the run
of that suit and, of course. the
king of spades was still in
dummy.
Mr.. Muzzy did not have the
required ingredients for a switch
when he was in with the king of
diamonds. On a spade return
the contract would have been
defeated easily. The require
ments for a shift in this Situa-
ton are as follows: A suit of your
own which you are sure you can
establish, certain entry to your
hand and a reasonable belief that
continuance of your partners
suit is quite hopeless.

Special Ceremonies
By Catholics Mark
End Of Marian Year

Special services in Washington
area Catholic churches yesterday
marked the close of the world
wide celebration of the Marian
year.
A year Of celebration in honor
of the Blessed Mother was pro-
claimed by Pope Pups XII last
December 8. the annual church
feast day of the Immaculate
Conception.
The Most Rev. Patrick A.
O'Boyle, Archbishop of the Do
cese of Washington, yesterday
marked the official close at a
pontificial mass at the Immacu-
late Conception Church.
At the end of the mass. Arch
bishop O'Boyle recited the Mari
an year prayer, composed per-
sonally by Pope Plus XII and
said at all masses offered during
the past year. The prelate also
impaired the apostolic benedic-
ton of the Holy Father on priests
and laity Of the archdiocese.
Blessings Are Many.
The sermon was given by the
Very Rev. Francis j. O'Connell,
dean of the School of Sacred
Theology at Catholic University.
Father O'Connell said that it
would be impossible ito deter
mine all of the blessings that
have come to mankind in re-
turn for the prayers and devo-
ton that have surged to the
throne Of Mary, Our Heavenly
Queen, In the course of the Ma
rian Year, because Gods graces
are invisible and often imper-
ceptible.

some evidence of great benefits
that have come to the world.
to the church and to individual
souls. There is still peace in
the world, despite the troubled
state of the international sit
uation," he said. "It is an UNI
certain peace, we admit. yet it
is far better than the horrors
of war"
Father O'Connell also attrib-
uted the Pope's recovery from
several serious illnesses as due
in large measure to prayers ask
ing Mary to intercede with God
to spare the Holy Father"
''Only when we shall see God
face to face shall we know fully
all that this Marian Year has
meant to the human race" he
concluded.
Proclaimed by Pope.
The Marian Year was pro-
claimed by the Pope to COM
memorate the Tooth anniversary
of the proclamation of the
Dogma of the Immaculate Con-
ception, which holds that Mary
was conceived without the stain
of original sin.
A solemn pontifical mass also
was offered by the Most Rev.
Amleto Giovanni Cicognani.
Apostolic Delegate to the United
States, at Georgetown Univer-
sity's McDonough Memorial
Gymnasium. ,
The Rev. James P. McLarney
who preached the sermon. told
nearly 1900 persons attending
that I'VE cannot condemn god
lessness one day and co-exist
with it the next day. We can
