She has Travelled all over the world.
mot everyone can live to be as
old as l am" she said, but here
are some things everyone should OBJ
serve: Never eat when you are worn
out. Never eat when you are pro-
voked or angry.
How to Eat
Never try to do deep thinking
when eating. These Senators and
Representatives sit at the tables in
the Capitol, stuffing food and try to
talk over legislation. When you eat,
your blood goes to your stomach.
When you think, it goes to the brain.
You can't do both at once.

COUNCIL
STATUS AIRED

Attempts by the Federation of
Civic Associations to supplant the
Citizens Advisory Council as official
representatives of the people of the
District will be aired at the next
meeting of the House District Com
mittee.
During the last session the COM
mittee voted to recognize the Ad-
vtsory Council as the mouthpiece
of District citizens.
1t has not been definitely deter
mined whether the District Com.
mittee will meet tomorrow, which
is scheduled as the regular meet
ing day.
Representative Frederick N. Zihl-
man of Maryland, chairman, will
confer later today with members of
the committee to arrange for a
meeting.
The committee probably will ques-
ton James G. Yaden, newly elected
president of the federation and
chairman of the advisory council,
who is understood to have spon-
sored the plan for elevating the
federation.

COURT UPHoLDS COPS
RUM SEARCH ON "HUNCH"

The Court OF Appeals today held
that policeman or other authorized
person may search an automobile
on a ''hunch" without a warrant
If he suspects there Is liquor in the
machine. The decision is the result
of an appeal by Morris Cohn from a
sentence of 80 days in jail on a
charge of unlawful possession and
transportation OF liquor.
Policeman Kew, who knew Cohn,
had "hunch" that there might be
liquor in COINS car when he stopped
him on Georgia Avenue Northwest,
for an infraetien Of the traffic
rules.
The policeman searched the car
and several gallons of liquor were
found in the rear seat. Cohn con-
tested the right Of the lower court
to try him on the ground that there
was no probable cause for the search
of the car and the seizure OF the
liquor.

Through the Static

There was nothing the matter
with conditions last evening except
that there was considerable static
at times. This was not a continues
performance and it did not disturb
in the least any efforts made to lis
ten to stations. AS far as were con-
cerned they might just as well DO
away with that brand of disturb
ance, since it is failing quite con-
sistently to disturb OF late. Ihere
was plenty of volume on all stations
that came within our reach, and
though we had a local disturbance
to contend with, a whizzing sound
that made it seem as if all stations
were broadcasting from airplanes,
we didn't mind. In fact we dldn
mind anything last evening. We go
so far as to say that we wouldn't
have cared if all the tubes in the set
had blown out, not our set but that
of the fellow next door.

scriptions of the scenes and contin-
uity and that the play would be al
lowed TO carry itself along. In the
past the announcer has always step
ped in between the scenes and de-
scribed the parts of the play which
are too short to be enacted by those
taking part. Last night, for the first
time, the voice of the announcer was
not heard from the beginning until
the end, orchestral interludes denot-
ing the change of scene. This prac-
tice proved to be slightly confusing
at times although it was possible to
pick up the trend of the plot
through the speeches of those in the
cast. Personally, we think 1t would
be better if the announcer would
step in between scenes. And anoth-
er thing, the snare drum apparently
has little place in the orchestra
which provides the musical selec-
tons. The use of the drum tends to
| make one look into the set to find
out where that scraping sound comes
from. The play last night was well
done and those taking part were

lady in a New York department
