A ments promised along
wv three fronts, tennis
tournaments for juniors,
boys and girls. will get under way to-
morrow morning on the courts OF
the Army-Navy Country Club. from
which will emerge official District
champions in those classes.
For concentrated endeavor, it will
mark the most ambitious undertak-
ing Of the tennis year for, playing
daily from 10 until o'clock, cham
pionship rounds are expected to be
reached by Friday afternoon.
The three-fold interest arises from
a situation which will introduce this
years junior champion of two States
as a new resident to Washington, a
boy from Annapolis, who oeat the
local boy champion in The recent
Maryland State tournament and the
first official girls tournament held
here In years.
Marvin Carlock Of Los Angeles,
Calf, is the junior who promises
trouble for David johnson, Harry
March, Charley Claiming, Billy Tur-
rer, Jack Hoyt and others who might
have been sensing titular aspirations
when they learned Harry Heffner
would not be here for the competi-
ton.
Carlock Heavily Titled.
TARLOCK who will enter George
town University in the Fall, won
the Junior championship of Utah
and Colorado, was the runner-up In
three other State tournaments and
went on to win the Western junior
doubles title with teammate.
The out-of-town threat for the
bows crown is Fred McNair OF An

feated Maurice CoUan, one of the

How bitter the competition will be
among the juniors, whose more than
80 entries give them the largest field OF
the lot, is indicated by the many
changes which have taken place in
the junior Davis Cup ladder during
the last month. Four youngsters have
advanced six notches or better, with
Leonard Sokol's 1lposition rise to the
No. II spot being the most marked of
the quartet. Walden, formerly ranked
tventy-fifth in the group which in
cludes juniors as well as his own boy
colleagues. now is No. 18. while Ham
Bonham also earned a 7-notch rise
to the No. % position. Jimmy Hardey
rose six positions and currently holds
the No. IA ranking.
Original 10 Juniors Remain.
THE same 10 youngsters who were
- ranked the first 10 OF the squad
at the start of the season remain, with
only one change being made within
that number Ralph Buddy Adair
and Charley Charming exchanged the
firth and sixth positions, with Adair
now being No. 5. The other eight
positions find Heffner rated No. l,
Allie Ritzenberg No. 2, johnson No. 3,

spencer Adopts
Refunding Plan

ed. The Mayor and Board of Add
ermen have not borrowed any mon
moi issued any new bonds, the
tax collections are better, the street
assessments are being paid and to
take care of the large number Of
bonds (which we're issued in the
past years, some as early as 1860
that have come due in the past five
years.: namely one hundred and sew
enty five. thousand dollars, the
town authorities have put into op-
Grafton a refunding plan. This plan
has the effect Of continuing the old
indebtedness over a long period Of
years, some bonds coming due even
as late as 1854, and when the final
plan has been completed
the Town Of Spencer will save a
large sum in interest and all past
due bonds will be current as to
and interest.

TIE BUDGET OUTLOOK

In the subject of economy, the
Presidents budget message held
little hope Of a reduction in FEEDER
al expenditures for another year. 1t
is not likely that Government in
come will balance outgo before the

The big items of expense for
which the President asks Congres,
are: Relief, $1,SS7,ooo,ooo Army
and Navy, $9s1,ooo,ooo; Interest

RESPONSIBILITY no COP

2~0
One of my objections to trying
to regulate all human affairs by
law is that it takes responsibility
away from the individual citizen
and lays it on the shoulder of the
policeman. I believe most of the
evils which laws are supposed to
correct would be righted to the
satisfaction Of everybody, if every
body realized that they had to do
the job themselves, and couldn't
get out Of it by saying it was gov
ernment's business to attend to it.
There was a higher proportion
of happiness, I believe, in the pio-
neer era when laws were few and
sheriffs a long way off, and sett-
lershad to work out their destinies
and those of their communities by
taking responsibility on their own
shoulders.
At least they enjoyed a higher
measuren of independence when
there were no government agnts
round to tell them what to do,

HAPPINESS laws


Sir Arthur Eddington. famou,
British scientist, told ship news re-
porters that the only happy land he
knew anythink about is the n in
the familiar old hymn:
There is a happy land
Far, far away"
There never has been such a
thing on earth as a happy land
a land in which all the people or
even half the people were happy,
except it may have been in one of
the South Sea Islands before white
men discovered them and introdu-
ced new. ideas about right and
wrong and began to impose laws
upon the people.
I've observed innumerable at
tempts to make = iand-bhis land
Of ours-a happy land by passing
laws. 1t looks to me hat the more
laws we adopt, the farther away
we get from the goal Of happiness.
The happy land is still "far, far
