ASK COMPROMISE
OF TRUSTEES AT
INDUSTRIAL HOME
D. C.. Commissioners Will
Leave Problem to Off
cial Bodies Involved.

The District Commissioners again
have failed to meet the urgent prob
lem represented by the Board OF
Children's Guardians and their re-
lation to the Industrial Home School.
After consideration at yesterdays
meeting of the Commissioners. Dan
lei Garges. secretary to the Board of
Commissioners, was instructed to
write the trustees of the Industrial
Home School and the Board of Chill
dren's Guardians inviting them to
compromise their difficulties so as to
put an end to the trouble.
The action of the Commissioners
was taken after a study of the re-
port on the conditions found in the
homes visited by Garges and DR.. Jo-
seph A. Murphy. of the health de-
partment.
Contrary to previous reports. the
special investigation covered only
twenty homes. according o<Garges.
Expected Positive step.
While II had been expected that
the Commissioners would take some
positive step leading toward a solu-
tion. the desire to avoid respon-
sibility is said to have led them to
leave the problem to the official
bodies concerned.
The Commissioners have also de-
cided to withhold the report made
by Garges and DR.. Murphy until the
trustees OF the home and the Board
of Guardians have had time to
agree.
In their letters to the heads of the
two organizations, which are to be
sent today. the Commissioners will

ARBUCKLE GOES ON
 TRIAL AGAIN TODAY

San Francisco, March 12.--Roscoe c. (Fatty) Arbuckie, motion picture comedian. will go to trial tomorrow for the third time on charges of manslaughter, growing out of the death on September 9. 1921, of Miss Virginia Rappe, a motion picture &C., tress. Miss Rappe's death followed drinking party in Arbuckle's suite in the Hotel St. Francis. It is ex pected that the process of selecting jury will occupy the greater part of a week. The trial will see no change in the lists of opposing counsel. but 1t Is expected that more witnesses will be called than in either of the two previous trials.
 The jury in the first trial voted ten to two for acquittal. and in the second ten to two for conviction. Both sides have promised. to intro duce evidence in the forthcoming trial that was not introduced in either of the others
 However, the prosecution probably will lack one of its chief prosecu ton witnesses. Miss Fey Provost, who left the state after the second trial and has refused to return. It is expeced that her testimony in one of the earlier trials will be read into the record. The dispositions of a number of Chicago witnesses have been obtained by the defense for use in an attempt to prove that the death of Miss Rappe was due to, chronic disorder which came to a sudden climax, and not to external force applied by Arbuckle, as the prosecution contends.

 Probably no subject is more gen orally debated wherever golfers gather for a Tanning bee" than which clubs are most difficult to master and which easiest.
 No one can lay down any fixed die tum on this mooted golf point, for certainly some players take naturally to some clubs and call for others only after some hesitation. But there are some very interesting general views which ] shall set down as l see them after some years of study and ob- seryation of golf and golfers here and abroad.
 Famous Clubs
 All of us have golf friends who have taken fancy to some partic- ular club perhaps because the feel and balance of it appeals to them and they have made some good shots with it. That club is to them the easiest club. they actually can get results from it. Let player doubt a club and when using 1t his mind is likely centered on this doubt and not on the ball. with the result that the club does the worst he expected Several years ago l casually picked up mashie in a store, more 70 be doing omething than with any Idea of buying, as l was well supplied at the time. But the minute l gripped that club and got the feel of 1t knew l had something l wanted It just suited me. Why, ] hardly know, but it did me great service till it finally went to golf heaven and I've never ceased to mourn for 1t.
 Drive Is Easiest
 for most players probably the easi- est golf shot is the drive. There are few players of any degree of expert ness who cannot get pretty fair re- suits in this department of golf. One reason for this probably Is that the player is usually not bound down to so much accuracy as in other shots and hence gets more freedom and confidence into the play. Another is that he can hit as hard as he likes
 Most authorities agree that the simplest shot is the putt, but that is far from say ying that to be a good butter is simple. The number of really great putters golf has pro- duced is surprisingly small. Of course, golf as a really popular sport in the United States and Canada is so comparatively young that there Isn't much golf history to go back to for the names Of illustrious putters. but even In Great Britain the list is not long one. While putting is simple Tn theory 1t seems to call for a par tlcular combination of mental quail ties. Vardon, with his superlative skill in other departments, was never great butter. although for some years he was very good. Of all the shots on course players probably differ in skill mostly on the putt.
 Of the hardest shots the full iron to the pin is most difficult. I have observed fewer players who are ex- n0rf af fhfS shot n rp..t may be because of the tendency to develop play with wooden clubs at the expense of iron. Another reason is that on this shot the element of control enters into the play very de- cidedly. For If such a shot, calling for say l50 yards, Is played too hard or too easy the ball is usually trap ped.
 I would say then that the hardest shot is the full iron to the pin and the easiest the drive.

TX. LEE IS WINNER OF TWO NATIONAL SHOOTING TITLES
Rifle and Pistol Champion ships Are Won by Local
 MarkSman

Announcement reached Birming ham last night from the National Rifle association at Washington that Capt, T. K. Lee of Birmingham Is winner of the individual rifle cham pion for 1922, which consisted of three weeks shooting, in the prone, sitting, kneeling and standing posi- tions combined. His total score was 59oX600; c. T. Paugh of Detroit sec ond. with 5S6, and Johnson of Phil adelphia third, with 1885. J. P. Smith of Birmingham landed in fourteenth place. No other Birming ham entry won a place.
 In the individual pistol champion ship Lee also won with a handsome margin, with SS2x1, ,0oo. which in- cluded both rapid and slow fire, for series of five weekly contests. J. T, Rivers. Port Chester, N. Y., was second with S65.
 Lee has been devoting more time of late to trapshooting than to rifle and pistol work. and disregarded ad- vice of friends that one line of the sport would interfere with his skill In another. Results he continues to secure indicate that practice in one seems to help fin the other also. IL Is small wonder that with champion ships continuing to be tucked in his bolt every month or so takers on his S1,00o challenge for an all- round match remain conspicuous by their abseuca
