GROUP WILL PUSH
MAPES BILL FIGHT
Montgomery Civic federation
to Have Special Meeting
to Hear Report.
BY StaH Correspondent o, The Star.

BETHESDA, Nd, June 1O.-Plans for
a continuation Of its fight to exempt
residents Of Maryland from the provi-
sions Of the Mapes income-taX bill pro-
posed for the District Of Columbia will
be prepared by the Montgomery County
Civic Federation at a special meeting
here Monday night at Bethesda School.
Members Of the federation's Com
mittee on Legislation and Legal Action,
partly successful in their efforts to Sc
cure exemption of Maryland residents
from the proposed tax, will appear be-
fore the meeting to report on its ac-
tivities before the Senate District Com
mittee hearings and to ask for au-
thorization to continue its campaign.
Doubtful Of Validity.
The meeting was called by DR.. L. NJ
Christie. vice president, after J. Bond
Smith, chairman of the Federation
Committee. expressed doubt as to the
validity of the measure in the present
form approved by the Senate District
Comm ittee, and branded 1t as dis
criminatory."
The Senate group. Smith pointed out
to Dr. Christie in his report has agreed
to exempt Federal employees living in
Maryland, but not other residents OF
Maryland who are employed in the Dis
trict Further. he said, it IS proposed
by the Senate Committee to provide
for reciprocity with Maryland and Viz
ginia by authorizing credit on ac-
count of income taxes or taxes on in
tangible property paid by non-residents
of the District
The effect of this amendment. he
said would be to give Maryland resi-
dents engaged in business or practicing
their professions within the District a
credit to the extent of the Maryland
Intangible property tax now paid by
those residents.
Benefits Divergent.
However, Smith declared. the meas
ure still is Objectionable to the fedora
tons committee, particularly in view
of the great disparity between bene-
fits received by residents of Maryland
and residents of the District of Co
lumbia.
Maryland residents still would con-
tinue to pay all existing Maryland
taxes to provide themselves with the
benefits Of schools. health. police and
fire protection and the like. he as
serted.
Smith said he believed the tax. as
a tax laid without regard to benefits
received. would be unconstitutional. in
that, except for the compensatory
amendment giving creadit for the taS
on intangibles paid in Maryland. Mary
land residents other than Federal en-
ployes are proposed to be taxed at the
same rate with District residents.

In diameter, for the center of Chevy

The commission is prepared to give

been authorized by Congress.

Of the honor combinations used in
other systems.
While honor combinations add
color to your hand, they should not
be figured in first valuing hand
from a quick trick standpoint. The
table of quick tricks is listed below.
Ace-King of same suit, 2 quick
tricks.
Ace-Queen of same suit, Ia quick
tricks.
Ace, l quick trick.
King Queen of same suit, l quick
trick.
King, Il quick trick.
Queen-J Jack of same suit, u quick
trick.
Only one jack must be
counted as one-half trick for suit
bid.
Quick tricks are defensive tricks.
Your first bid not only should in
dictate to partner that you have a
playable suit, but also should show
him that, if opponents bid, he can
depend upon you to take two to
three tricks against any bid they
may make.
Quick tricks are the real basis
for valuing hands at contract
bridge. Your hand may contain six
or seven probable tricks, but if you
have unprotected suits and missing
quick tricks, until partner shows up
with those quick tricks, it is easy to
understand that the opponents will
run these off before you can get
started with your probable tricks.

For the last few years, during the

More than two years ago the

Since its introduction, many diff
ferent bidding systems have been
offered to the public and there has
been a great deal of discussion re-
garding Standardization of contract
bidding.
1t is impossible for two or three
experts to get together, write Up a
system and correctly declare it as a
standardized system.
The practices and bidding con-
ventions that produce winning re-
suits naturally will become the
standardized system.

PRACTICALLY every major con-
J. tract championship in the last
three years has been won by players
using the one over one system of
bidding.
1t is only natural that any intelli-
gent bridge player should want to
apply his own theories to a bidding
system.
To become a successful card
player, your bids must employ nat
ural card differences, so that your
partner can make the correct de-
auctions.

ing articles, will present to you in

of contract bidding as it is played

thing is doing fine but humans.
Animals are having a great year,
grass was never higher, flowers
were never more in bloom, trees

shade for us to loaf under. Every
thing the Lord has a hand in is
going great, but the minute you
notice anything that is in any way
under the supervision of man, why
its "cockeyed."
And the more men that have any,
thing to do with trying to right a
thing why the worse off it is. If
every man was left absolutely to
his own method of wrighting his
own affairs why a big majority
would get it done. But he can't do
that. The Government has not only
hundreds but literally thousands in

personally tend to his own business.

PUTTING OUR DOLLARS TO WORK
Fairbury, (Neb.) News

A few years ago the secretary of a
commercial organization in Columbus, Mis-
sissippi, began to wonder how many times a
dollar changed hands in his community in
single year; so he took a number of dollars,
pasted a slip of paper on the back of each
and started them out through the regular
channels of trade. On these slips appeared
instructions to pass the dollar along in the
usual way, and check it when it went on to
the next party.
At the end of the year each of these
dollars was returned to the secretary by the
local bank, and it was found that on an av-
erage each dollar had passed through 220
different hands during the course of twelve
months.
If one could have interviewed one of
these dollars he would have received about
such a travelogue as this:
After l left you l went directly to the
grocer's till. My visit there was brief, how
ever, for farmer entered the store with a
crate of eggs, and the grocer turned me over
in exchange. thought was going to get a
little trip into the country, but | never left
the town, for my farmer friend took me down
the street a short distance and turned me
over to the shoe dealer.
"Well l couldn't take time to tell you
about all of the fine people visited during
the year, but l remember that one was the
minister, another workman helping to build
new pavement through the city, another
school teacher, who received me in exchange
for instruction given to your children. I al

ing on the new community house. I spent
some time in the bank and earned little
money while there for some of my friends.
81 feel that have brought consider
able amount of happiness to the people of
this community during the year, and am
ready to go out now and put in another siren
uous year helping to build up worth while
things here"
That is what happens to dollar that
is kept in circulation. And it seems to us
that the big problem confronting this nation
is not so much the shortage of money but
keeping what money we have circulating in
a normal manner. How can that be done?
Well we would naturally suggest that adver-

MAKING 1T HARD FOR HENS
(Grand Rapids Herald-Review)

Grand Rapids Herald-Review)
Judging by all the rules and regulations laid
down by the Minnesota Commissioner of Agriculture
it quite an achievement to be good egg these days.
There was time when egg egg.
Then it became necessary to candle them and eggs
were put into two general classes, good and bad.
Now an egg, according to the rules, must
be looked at from several different angles, it must
be virtually signed and sealed.
It will soon take a with degree in testing
eggs to get the hen fruit into the right cases.
Everybody who sells eggs must watch out for if
something goes wrong the Jail will be welcoming him
for rest.
Maybe it is a good thing. Doubtless eggs which
go into competition with pedigreed eggs from other
states need careful classification But most Min
nesota's eggs brought to the stores by farmers
and sold over the counter. There ought to be a lit
tie room for good faith in such transaction.
We ought to remember that hen fruit is pretty
cheap these days. The more it is handled the more
the cost to both farmer and consumer Eggs at 10
and IL cents dozen do not pay the hen for her
trouble to say nothing of the cost Of too much in
spection, sealing classifying and selling.
We may be carrying some good things little
too far.
