CLOSED DOOR OF THE
 WHITE HOUSE OPEN
 DURING CONFERENCES

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22. {R-The big clock on the wall of the outer lobby of the presidents offices points it's hands to 11:55, if it is Tuesday, or to 3:55 if it is Friday.
 Precisely then a veteran White House police officer calls out:
 Have all questions been passed in? Times up."
 His inquiry is directed to some forty or more newspaper-w writers, about to be received at the regular bi-weekly press conference" Under a custom inaugurated by Prtsident Harding, the questions must be sub mitted in writing.
 The clock pushes the indicators five digits forward, to the fixed meet ing hour. Automatically door opens. The correspondents file in to a big, flag ornamented mahogany desk.
 The door remains open, in actuali- ty, with secret service man stand ing at the portal. But for all the intents and purposes of this dispatch it is closed locked, and double-sealed For what transpires next within the room transpires in inviolable con- fidence.

COBs FIGHT FLIES IN
 HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT I

WASHINGTON, Jan. P. (P- When the Navy fights armed foemen it does so with considerable bonn bast-thanks to 16-inch guns, tor pedoes, bombs, and things. But when MT. Jack Tar gazes into the piercing eyes of that insignificant insect, the fly, he reverts to the tactics of sim pie "elbow grease" and swats it.
 A hord of flies became a nuisance at the Naval Storage Depot at San Diego, attracted by the consignment of food stuffs piled on a wharf. The commandant sensed an emergency and sent requisition to headquart- CTS here asking for money to put screens on the depot.
 But the order was returned with instructions to buy ten thousand or so fly-swatters and get busy in the interest of economy.

Praising the natural beauty of the
Washington Highlands district, Com
missioner Sidney F. Taliaferro In a
speech at the meeting of the Wash
ington Highlands Citizens Assocla-
ton last night in the Congress Heights
School said that the citizens Hvlng In
this district were much more apt TO
live close to nature If they did not
develop too many so-called improve
ments.
Commissioner Taliaferro admitted
the necessity Of sewers. however. and
promised to help the Washington
Highlands people to make their COM
munity more ivable.
II have visited about six citizens
organizations, said the Commissioners,
land am glad of the opportunity to
meet the people in the various sec
tions in Washington"
Business Increased.
THE business of the District of
Columbia has greatly increased in the
past 20 years" he said. In fact,
taking the tax collections as meas
urement, it has jumped from S6,000.-
900 in 1906 to $27, 900, 900 in 1926. This
increased business naturally calls for
new methods of handling old prob
lens. For instance, it had been the
custom uILlI HOW W lGl
taxpayers go unnotified until they
saw that their property was to be
sold. Now the list of such delinquen-
ces is to be published in the news
papers, and We are going to try to
notify every delinquent of the fact
that his taxes have not been paid"
J. G. Yaden, president of the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations, spoke
of the opportunities and duties OF or
ganized citizenry, in which he said
that most of the large cities in the
country had had to form some sort of
organized citizenry to present the
needs of the various communities in
the cities in an orderly fashion and to
get results.
Needs Greater Here.
we have double the need of such
action in the District of Columbia,
he said. These organizations present
the needs of the individual communi-
ties and of the city as a. whole. The
principal burden of the success of
these organ. zations rests on the heads
of the various committees. Letters
and resolutions to the powers that
be- must be followed, as a rule, by
personal calls to get the desired re-
suits"

wish to say that if a man goes to an auc-

try to get 1t as cheap as possible; if there
is no opposition he would make a bid
lower than the property is worth. When
that bid is refused by the Court and the
bidder receives information that the
bid is not accepted he then knows that
the property is in the market again, he
might make another bid, a different one,
and get the property. | don't see that
the bidder will lose any right if the bill
