French and Italian objections to i'm
mediate consideration Of the PROPOSE
ton 20 approve the British mandate
for Palestine it seemed certain today
that the matter would be postponed
until the next meeting of the Council
OF the League of Nations
Lord Balfour had planned to ask
the council today to put the mandate
on the calendar of the present ses-
sions. but Leon Bourgeois for France
and Marquis Imperian for Italy re-
ported their governments unprepared
10 consent TO approval of the mandate
at this time.
The French reason for objecting to
immediate consideration was that
France wished TO have the mandate
for Syria approved at the same time,
while the Italian reason was that the
whole question had been complicated
by the fact that the Treaty of Sevres
had never been ratified.
Both France and Italy complained
of the abruptness of the British pro-
posal, which had not allowed time for
these governments to consider the
subject.

HIGHEST COURT ASKED
OUUA BOARD RULING
Are These "Sub-Conscious"
contrivances Sporting Goods
or Toys?
BY Associated Press to Every Evening.

BY Associated Press to Every Evening.
Washington. May. 1S.-The Supreme
Court has been asked by a petition
nled by a Baltimore manufacturing
company to apply its profound learn
ing to solving the question of what
is a ouija board.
The federal government, with that
lack of sentimentality fer which it is
noted, and with the bluntness OF the
tax collector, has determined such
boards are properly to be classed as
sporting goods" along with snow
shoss. baseball bats, golf clubs, and
similar articles.
The Baltimore Company, therefore.
has asked the court TO determine
whether the board is. as the company
claims it to be "a grade of motor
automatism, involving considerable
suo-conscious action of intenigence. {"
and not sporting goods" subject to
a tax OF ten per cent. 1t contends that
a large part of the boards made by
them are of a small size intended for
the Use Of children and for taxing
purposes, that part of their. product
at least, without regard to what the
highest court in the land may ha .e
TO say about the larger boards. should
be classed as children's toys.
