'NEW FISCAL PLAN
CITIZENS
Council to Reconsider 60.4O
Endorsement Pending Study
of Lump.Sum Solution.

A new solution of the vexing problem
of fiscal relations between the Fed
eral and District Governments was sug-
gested to the Citizens Advisory Council
last night and as result, the council
decided to reconsider its former action
endorsing a return to the 60-40 diyi-
sion of municipal expenses.
The suggestion. made by Henry K.
Bush-Brown, chairman of a subcon-
mittee Of the fiscal relations committee
of the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tionS, which met in joint session with
the council. proposed that a tax limit,
representing all that the District prop
erty owners can afford TO pay, be fixed
as the lump sum in the local budget
each year, the contribution of the Ted
eral Government TO be the variable
sum necessary to make up the budget
total.
Probe Group Urged.
Mr.. BuSh-Brown said that members
Ga congress seem to be opposed to a
definite ratio, and that some other
plan of fiscal relations would have to
be worked out. Creation of a COM
mittee composed of the chairmen of
the Senate and House appropriations
and District committees. Brig. Gen
Herbert NJ. Lord, director of the Budget
Bureau, District Commissioner and a
resident of the District was proposed
to study the question.
The council reafirmed its former
action indorsing midcity location for
the Farmers Produce Market. Col
Henry c. Newcomer diSSented and
supported the proposed Southwest site.
He quoted Maj. W. E. r. Covell, senior
Assistant Engineer Commissioner, who
studied the market problem as saying
that the midcity site is the only one
that has nothing to commend it.
Police Measure Favored.
The bill designed to give the wom-
ans Bureau Of the Police Department
statutory status was approved. with
certain amendments proposing that
the director be given the rank of an
inspector instead of an assistant su-
perintendent; that the promotions in
the bureau be on the same civil service
terms as those for the male members
OF the Police Department, and strik-
ing out fixed number of personnel.
The council also went on record
as opposing any contribution by the
District government to the cost of the
proposed addition to Freedmen's Hos
pital. and recommended that the B,an-
ton bill TO abolish taxicab monopolies
et hotels be redrafted to prevent the
notes from sharing in the profits.

HOME OWNERSHIP
ESSAYS RECEIVED
First Three Manuscripts
Reach Star in Contest of
Thrift Committee.

The first essays on the value of home
ownership to be entered in the prize con-
test being conducted through The Star
by the Own-your-own-ho home day COM
mittee of the general committee In
charge of National Trift week observ-
ance here were received at this Office
this morning.
Three essays comprised the initial
group of manuscripts entered as con-
tenders for the three prizes aggregating
$500 which have been offered by the
committee. They we're written by con-
teStantS in three sections of the Dis
trict-Northwest, Northeast and South
east-and. as though rejecting last
years contest, they were entered in the
competition just two days after the an
nouncement was made through this
newspaper.
Treat Subject Differently.
Although the three essays received
were written about home ownership,
each treats the subject in a different
way. One, that entered by the North
east contestant. deals with the value of
home ownership to the individual, and
the writer, woman, stresses the peace
of mind which. she writes. only the Sc
curity of owning ones own home can
give. The essay entered from North
west Washington treats of the endow-
ment which home ownership bestows
upon the family, thereby contributing
to the wholesome development Of the
community. The final manuscript of
the initial group. that written by resi-
dent of Southeast Washington, advances
the value of home owning to local and
the National governments by promoting
more responsible citizens
And so the essays will 60 until the
end OF the contest next Saturday night.
Some will stress one point and others
will embrace the whole scale of values
In home ownership.
Personal Struggles Related.
Last year many writers told the per-
Sonal struggle which they, individually,
encountered in purchasing their prop
erty, and while this sort of material Is
wholesome and often inspiring, 1t does
not exactly adhere to the subject pre-
scribed by the committee this year.
The Value Of Home Ownership"
This is a contest that is easy to
enter. If you are a resident of the
District OF Columbia, or Maryland, or
Virginia, simply send your essay to

LEADERSHIP AIDS
 WHOLE UNIVERSE
American Ideals May Lessen
 World SaYaY8ery

Boston. Feb. 2S. R-American leadership in world politics is likely to bring about some ame- Aoratlon of state of international savagery" in which the world finds itself. believes Thomas E. Bcnner, chancellor of the Univer- sity of Porto Rico.
 In an address at the annual con- vention of the department of super- 1ntendence of the National Educa- tlon association tonight. Benner cautioned the educators that with the new era which sees European domination give way to American leadership. we must learn. among other things. that internationally speaking. the world still is in a period of primitive savagery"
 Nations" he said, "have not been content even to extract m eye for an eye and a tooth for tooth. Of the offender and even Of the innocent, they have sought life itself if national selfishness were accompanied by the national might which made such extraction possible.
 There are reasons why Ameri- can leadership in world politics is likely to bring about some amelior- ation of the state of international savagery. The American nations, taken as whole, are under-popu- lated and under-developed. Their natural resources are sufficiently great to relieve them of the econo- mic pressure which is the basis of European rivalries."
 Benner said historical research during the last ten years had re- sealed that the causes of the world war were far different from those assigned by the contending nations and that. at the time, these causes were ''unknown and almost un- movable"
 Nations are not intelligent in their world relationships" he de- clared. '"They cry and laugh at the achievements of 9. Lindhergh. They rage and storm over q minor un- intended discourtesy. They may be led by appeals to the heart but are indifferent to appeals of the in- tellect.
 ''The ideal which should be the contribution of the Americans in the era on which We are embarked, the inter-American ideal, should be the homely idea, which we com monly call neighborliness.
 Porto Rico has offered an ex- ample from which We might learn. These Latin-American citizens Of the United States, moulded by 400 years of Spanish tradition which is the common inheritance of Latin-America, and familiar with the institutions and policies of the United States, have done much to bring together the two great cul- lures of North and South America and in mutual understanding and compenetration."

 FOR THE TEACHER
Need for Better Teaching Is
 Stressed in Talk

Boston, Feb. es. R>-There Is much need for better teaching in the high schools, Russell H. Leavitt, high school agent for New Hamp- shire. told the National Education association today He suggested plan calling for period of prac- tice for all prospective teachers.
 Seventy-eight per cent of the high school teachers are college graduates. he said. but there are few of these who had any practical teaching experience before e..dua- tion. He suggested that they should be given an opportunity to practice the theory learned in their classes. . chance to try out methods and to think and work in terms of chill dren.
 seventy-nine per cent of the high schools of the country are in rural communities, he said. where more than three-fourths of the teachers do not remain in the rame position longer than three years. This means, he declared, thdr they get luClI eADSTlcuCc dt tlC CApChSc ol the pupils and by force of circum- stance are compelled as beginners to struggle alone.
 To bring balance and harmony into the life of youth there must be q closer correspondence between his current relations to educational institutions and lis subsequent req lations to employment, said James (. Miller. professor of educational administration at the University of Pennsylvania.
 "It is essential for the life of the group to insure the like minded ness necessary for cooperation fin matters of common concern and for mutual reinorcement in differenti- ated specialization" he said. ''The barriers that have kept mankind in separate and hostile groupings are yielding gradually to the influences that are bringing closer. more inti- mate and continuous relations"

BRITISH WALKER CUP
TEAM HITS POOR FORM
Invading Golfers Meet With Poor
Luck in Matches Already
Played Against Americans

Chicago. Aug. 81 P>-Members of
England's Walker cup team have
met with little encouragement since
their arrival in Chicago to whip
themselves into shape for the inter-
national cup matches with America.
After failing to get by the first
round Of match play in the western
amateur golf championship at the
Bob oLink club last week. they
matched strokes with Captain Bobby
Jones and his American teammates
for practice at the Chicago Golf
club yesterday and came away sad
and forlorn.
Taking what he termed lust 4
little workout" Bobby burnt up the
course. where the cup matches are
to be played Thursday and Friday.
with record breaking round of
35-33- G3, while another American
team member, Harrison Johnston of
st. Paul, carded 1896 for 20, or
one under par. The best card turned
in by the English invaders was that
of w. l.. Hope, the British amateur
champion, who got q 35-31-12. But
generally. the Britons were several
strokes higher than the Americans.
Bobby's round. which broke the
former record held by Jack Drucker.
professional at the Chicago Golf
club, by one stroke was both con-
sistent and brilliant. Only once was
he in troublN-on the seventh when
his drive found trap. Otherwise,
