TT is not of any particular use to

preparing to drive into the wind.
The height Of the balls trajectory is
determined by the way in which the
clubhead strikes 1t.
Tee a ball low and hit into it
with a sharply descending blow
which is not correctly placed and
you will be apt, contrary to your ex-
psctations, to get shot with high
trajectory. Backspin is impaired

BARRIERS favor
SUNDAY LAW

The Sunday barber shop closing
bill was reviewed by the Judiciary
subcommittee of the House Dis
trict Committee today, and al
though no action was taken it
was believed likely that the sub
committee will substitute a new
bill providing that barber shops
must be closed one day in seven.
The suggested substitute would
eliminate the religious question,
and was said to meet the appro-
val of religions which do not OBJ
serve Sunday.
The BARRIERS of the District ad.
vised the committee they favored
the bill providing for Sunday
closing, but declared they we're
more interested in the question of
health than in the matter of re-
ligion.
Seventh Day Adventists and
representatives of various organi-
cations for religious liberty said
that the bill would in it's pres
ent form encroach upon the rights
and privileges of many persons
and would bring about an ava
lanche of bills for general Sunday
closing laws in the District.

The need of public funds

D|VORCEE SUES
FOR A|LMONY

Suit was filed in District Su-
preme Court today by Mrs. Flor

Samuel M. Marks, in an attempt
to collect from his estate alimony
for IS years and five months.
Marks, a well-known insurance
broker, committed suicide in his
office last February q. Mrs.
Marks had divorced him at
Alexandria, Va, in 1912, at which
time he was ordered to pay her
$1OO a month alimony. She says
he discontinued the payments in
October, 1916, and the back ali
mony now amounts to $18,500,
she says.
The suit was filed against her
former husbands executors, Col.

provided $1,000 for the care of

The ever-increasing problem
Of the parking "ticket" has now
attained new seriousness, with
the decree of the Corporation
Counsers Office fixing S. as the
minimum collateral.
There has been a steady rise
in the amount eXacted from
parking law violators. For some
time a minimum forfeiture of 81
was allowed on the new tripli-
cate tickets if recommended by
an Assistant Corporation Counsel.
The scale was then raised to So,
or SO under the minimum re-
quired at a precinct station. The
final order. however, requires S.,
regardless of the circumstances.
The most unusual aspect of the
new ruling is the discrepancy be-
tween the amount of collateral
to be accepted and the serious
ness of the offense. For example,
the minimum collateral for driv-
ing the wrong way on a one-way
street is only So. Other dangerous
practices for which the collateral

include: Driving the wrong way
around a circle, SO; backing to
turn in the street, 50; driving
without headlights, So; driving
with the view obstructed, So;
parking so as to leave less than
II feet clearance in an alley, SO.
Dangerous offenSeS on which
the minimum collateral require
ment is SIS, the same as over
time parking, include: Driving
past a red light; driving past a

free use of the arms; driving on
the wrong side of the street,

UnSeat Saunders Ticket;
Vote Due Tomorrow

Politics eclipsed all other
features of the opening ses-
sion of the nineteenth annual
convention of the District Of
Columbia Parent nt-Teacher AS
sociation today.
Indications were that a vigor-
GUS fight will be made to unseat
Mrs. Joseph N Saunders, incum-
bent president, and two others on
her official slate when the dele
gates vote tomorrow.
Friends of Mrs. E. C. Rittue,
legislative chairman of the Con-
gresS, opposing Mrs. Saunders for
the presidency, charge that the
ncumbe organization has
sought to use steam-roller tactics
in getting instructed delegations.
Walk-Out, Protest
This, they say, was particularly
brought out last night at a meet
ing of the Central High School
Parent-Teacher Association, when
it is alleged that the so-called
official" ballot was adopted with
out giving friends of Mrs. Rittue
and her running mates an oppor-
tunity to eSpouse their cause.
AS result, it was stated, more
than hundred persons arose and
left the auditorium in protest.
In addition to Mrs. Rittue, the
only other opposition candidates
are Mrs. Suzanne Rauscher and
Mrs. j. w. Byler.
Mrs. RauScher, hospitality
chairman, is running against Mrs.
L. B. Castell. present first vice
president, while Mrs. Byler is seek
ing to hold the position she now
holds, fourth vice president.
Mrs. Joseph F.. Randall is the
choice of the nominating COM
mittee for that office.
Welcomed by Wilbur
Secretary of Interior Ray Ly-
man Wilbur welcomed the dele
gates. He declared that parents
face responsibilities in rearing
their children that they never
faced before. He said prosperity
caused a tendency to neglect
children but that in times Of ad-
versity the children again come
under the home influence.
The Secretary said:
"The home must be the basis
for the growth of the child.
The school is important but you
can't unload the basic work of
developing the American child
on the school,"
Reports of officers showed
growth of the local organization.

She knows that Oscar Wilde has almost legendary

 Newcomers were assisted in finding houses and apartments or boarding cnd rooming houses. Peo- pie contemplating small business ventures were aided in finding To- cations and given such informa- tion as population, payroll, com partiye cost of living and some times just reassurance that their venture, would succeed.
