JACOBS GROUP
TO ATTEND
HEARING
Committee Unwilling
to Snub D. c. Fiscal
Study Experts

Members OF the Presidents COM
mittee on fiscal relations which
wrote the Jacobs report probably
will be invited to appear before
the House District Appropriations
subcommittee.
George Lord, tax expert of De-
troit who directed the work of
the MapeS committee which sew
eral years ago made a study Of
District fiscal affairs, also is ex-
pected to he called.
Previously it had been indicated
by Representative Ross Collins
Cd, of Mississippi, chairman of
the subcommittee, that the ia
cobs group would not be called as
witnesses.
Snub Feared
Members of the subcommittee,
apparently fearing that such a
slight might be taken as a slap
at the President, decided to call
them, but it is believed will pay
little heed to their recommends
tion.
Lord, who worked for the com-
mittee on which Representative
Collins served, has criticized the
Jacobs report, and friends of Mr..
Collins have suggested that the
MiSsissippian feels it contains little
to recommend it.
School Heads Heard
If both the Jacobs group and
Lord are brought before the COM
mittee, it is doubtful that hearings
will be concluded by the end of
this week, as was expected by
Collins.
Officials of the local school sys-
tenn are appearing before the sub
committee this afternoon, and
leading business men will be wit
neSses tomorrow.

COURTS SETUP
'PLEASESALL'

Police Court Judge Edward M.
Curran's program of staggered
hours for Traffic Court appear
ances went into effect today and
proved generally successful.
The plan, which provides for
the division of cases slated for the
traffic branch of the court, calls
in the first batch of defendants
at $50 a. m, the second and all
succeeding groups at hourly inter-
walls thereafter. The groups are
formed according to the precincts
in which the offenSes originate.
The first problem which pre-
sented itself this morning was
that of a woman charged with
three separate parking violations
by three separate precincts. She
found her cases set for $50, 1920
and 11:30 a. m. Under the old
order of things. her three cases
would have been heard at the first
hearing.
Judge Curran was sitting in the
jury branch of the court as the
first of his ideas were put into
effect. He said:
'T have no doubt that from
time to time there will crop up
little difficulties which we could
not fOreSee when we mapped out
the schedule on paper. Time
will be needed to iron out these
imperfectionS, of course. I'm
glad things seem to be going all
right"
Judge Isaac r. Hit, who is pre-
siding this month in the affected
branch, said he was thoroughly
satisfied with the system.

Ken Murray
Says:

It's easy to see that the worlds
unrest has left a definite mark
on this country when you hear
about the thousands of trailer
folk who are gathered at that
tin-can tourist convention down
in Florida Don't be surprised
if someone soon produces a play
called THE POstman Always
HOnkS Twice"
The proponents of this mode
of living claim that there are
no SnObS among the trailerites.
Well, that's easy to understand
Those things are built so
cOmpactly there's no room for
a nose to turn up.
Raising families on the run
like that must certainly present
a lot of new problems Can't
you just hear a proud mother
bOasting that her baby was
weaned on a hot dog?
l imagine that a hundred
years from now some politician
will undoubtedly be talking
about taking the country out of
the coupe and trailer" days.

this point East went into long hud-

king, and finally stayed of, Knowing
that the diamond finesse was sure to
lose, declarer did bit Of thinking and
finally decided that East's failure to
take the first diamond meant that he
did not hold the king Of hearts. Ac-
cordingly, he led small heart and
finessed the jack. East held of with
the king also, but In this instance
played the low heart quickly. Now
declarer laid down the ace and an
other diamond East won and led
another spade. Declarer won with his
own ace and now, being certain that

4 N IMPORTANT point for be-

~ play is not to jeopardize a
contract by trying for over
tricks. However, experts are lothe to
give up these chances for an extra 20
or 80 points, and frequently attempt
to garner them if it appears that
their chances of gaining an overtrick
will be substantial. Once in a while,
however, their play fails and when it
