Believe me- the car that has been up on jacks,

So to all owners say, give your thorough

to experts but also do some work yourself.
Look for the wads of grease and dirt that are
clogged in the many working parts. Replace the
worthless oil in your crankcase. Think of the dry

Perhaps you have abused your battery and your

creased rapidly. There are more than
1900 full-time students in the uni

The attendance has increased
every year since the close of the war
The increase in day students has
been notable. In arts and sciences

DONOVAN TO PRESENT
CONVINCING ARGUMENT
TO PHIPPS' COMMITTEE

All of the possible claims against
the Districts five million dollar sur
plus referred to in the report of the
accountants will be thoroughly stud
led and discussed by Maj. Daniel J.
Donavan, local auditor, in u written
statement to Congress.
In view of the fact that he has been
invited by Senator Phipps to submit
both written and oral statements on
the findings of the accountants. Maj.
Donovan refrained from discussing
the report today.
viii Begin Statement.
Maj Donovan will begin Immediate
ly the preparation of a statement of
what the Commissioners believe the
city is entitled to with regard to the
surplus.
1t is probable that the District au-
thoTities will take up in their brief
the question Of whether interest is to
be allowed on the surplus revenues
for the period during which those
revenues have reposed in the Treas
ury.
Bears 3 Per Cent Interest.
The provision Of the current appro-
priation act providing for the investi-
cation into the fiscal affairs OF the
federal and District governments
stated that any money found due to
either government should he consid-
While unwilling to discuss the re-
port publicly in advance of their rep
reservations to Congress. it was clear
ly indicated at the District building
that the city officials are elated over
the recognition of the existence of
the surplus by the accountants who
made the investigation.
While the city heads are much graf
iied over the recognition of the ex-
istence of the surplus. they realize
that they must present convincing
facts and arguments to the Joint con-
gressfonal committee in reply to all
claims that may be made against the
surplus. q So
Exhibits Are Attached.
The auditors have attached to their
report a number of exhibits which
give in much detail the receipts and
disbursements. balances and appro-
priations of the District funds. Ex-
hibit A deals with the District gen
eral fund-giving a summary OF bal
ances on deposit in the United states
Treasury. receipts. disbursements and
payments and reimbursements to the
United States by years. and in total
for the eleven fiscal years ended June
80, 1912 to 1922. inclusive.
Dealing with the totals, exhibit A
shows that the balance at the begin
ming of this period was S2.665, ,0Sl.Sl,
and the balance at the end OF the pc
riod was s7.574.41690. The total deb
it's and credits for the period are set
down as $1o4.235, ,964.35.
The District surplus in the Treas
ury began to accumulate first in 1916.
when the old half-and-half plan of
appropriating for the District was in
operation.

NEW YORK, January 12.-The or
ganization of an American law insti-
tute here yesterday was accompanied
by the announcement that the lead
ing lawyers and judges of the nation
would be invited to a conference at
Washington February % to consider
revamping state and national laws
with a view to eliminating recognized
defects"
A committee was empowered to in
vite to the Washington meeting the
Chief Justice and his associates of
the United States Supreme Court. the
senior federal judge of each circuit
court of appeals. the Attorney Gen
eral and solicitor general of the
United States, the president of the
American Bar Association and it's

over by Elihu Root.

study of alleged defects in existing
laws was ordered published.
The laws uncertainty and COM
plex4ty" are its two. chief defects,
the committee asserted. that cause

the courts to enforce just rights,
make it impossible TO advise persons
of their rights and when litigation Is
begun. create delay and expense"
The most serious consequences of
these defects is that they create a
lack of respect for law. which under
mines the moral fiber of the commun-
ity and become cause of anti-social
conduct"
"As result" the report continued.
"the rich are more apt to use their
wealth to oppress. the business man.
is more apt TO cheat, and those in
immediate want are more. apt to steal
I'm our opinion the most important
task that the bar can undertake Is
to reduce the amount of the uncer-
tainty and complexity of the law
Ignorance Seen ms One Caase.
"The ignorance OF judges and law
yerS" was named as one cause or tne
laws uncertainty. Others enumer-
ated were:
Lack of agreement among members
of the legal profession upon fundAsr
mental principles of common law:
lack of precision in the use of legal
terms; conflicting and badly drawn
statutory provisions: attempts to
distinguish between two cases where
the facts presented no distinction;
an excessive volume of recorded de-
cisions as well as novel legal cases.
The remedy advocated was the pro-
duction of "a restatement of the law
that will have an authority much
greater than that now accorded to
any legal work.
s'The character of the restatement
which we have in mind" the COM
mittee said. "can best be described
by saying that it should be at once
a1alyticaI. critical and conservative"
