I should like to disprove false
legend about the origin of the name
John Philip Sousa.
The story goes thus: The bands
man was born in Greece. He was
christened John Phillipso. When he
entered the United States as an
immigrant, he caused his baggage
to be lettered JOHN PHILLIPSO,
U. S. A" Desiring an American
sounding name, he coined "SOUSA"

this body of water was bay. What
he saw was water on which he could

Poor Planning

able experience. Perhaps it will

taking the ace and returning the
club queen. South took the king
led to the spade ace, and ruffed a
third round of clubs. He then
ruffed a spade with dummys eight
of hearts and returned club from
dummy. When East followed, South
ruffed with the heart nine, hoping
that East had the queen of hearts.
But West overruffed with the heart
queen and returned a trump. A
low diamond was led from the
dummy, and West won and led
another trump. That was the end
of poor South; he was set two
tricks!
South had adopted a bad line
OF play but should have made his
contract anyway. When East fol-
lowed to the fourth round of clubs,
South should have ruffed with the
heart king! Then he could ruff
spade with the heart jack and re-
turn diamond. Even though West
might win and return a trump,
South would then be able to ruff
diamond and would have total
Of eight tricks.
But South made his big mistake
at the third trick. To plan cross
ruff was correct, but there was no
need to plan to ruff clubs in his own
hand when it was so much safer
to ruff diamonds. At the third
trick South should have led a dia-
mond. From then on he could
easily cross-ruff spades and dia-
monds without risking an over-ruff
and the consequent loss of the
contract.

Citizens Plan Inspection
Of New Market Gas Well

A party of delegates to the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations will
travel to New Market, Va, Saturday
at the invitation of natural gas in
terests to inspect a new well there.
After a luncheon at the Washing
ton Hotel, the party will 90 to New
Market for the inspection, returning
after a dinner there Saturday night.
Among the delegates who may
make the trip are David Babp,
Harry S. Wender, Orrin Davy. WAL
ter I. Swanton, c. H. Newell, Charles
M. Maize and James T. Scott.
The question of 100 per cent use
of natural gas in the District has
been considered by the Federation,
which last spring voted that this is
not the time to make the change.
In the report by Acting Public Util-
tiles Chairman Milo Brinkley, the
long distance from the gas fields to
the District was cited, with the pos
sible danger that the city might be
cut off from all gas if the single
supply line was sabotaged. The way
for later consideration of the matter,
however, was left open in the Fed
Grafton action.
Study of the possibilities of the
use Of natural gas here also was
made by an expert for the Public
Utilities Commission and resulted
in recommendation of its use. The
gaslight company, in a brief COM
piled on the subject, is opposed to
the change.

luton for decentralization of the
administrative branch of the Gov
ernment. If the rule is adopted the

special work is connected with hous-
ing activities for the administrative
branch of the Government. The
present resolution would create a
committee of five members of the
House to be appointed by the
Speaker.
The committee would be required
to investigate Ia the feasibility
and desirability of transferring to
the most practical locations outside
of the District of Columbia of any
of the bureaus or agencies; (b) the

United States of Office space and
other facilities rendered by the
various departments, bureaus and
agencies of the United States, both

Skilled Worker Shortage
Is Greatest Since 1888

There was greater scarcity of
skilled and Semi-skilled workers in
the District last month than at any
time since 1888, the District Employ
ment Center announced today, add
ing there also was acute shortage of
trained women stenographers, men
and women bookkeepers and ex-
perienced carpenters, machinists and
automobile mechanics.
Edwin w. Jones, director of the
center, announced nearly 10000
more jobs have been filled during
the first six months of this year
than in the same period last year.
Increase in new and renewed appli-
cations for jobs, he said, is directly
traceable to recruitment of workers
for defense jobs.
Total number of placements dur
ing the half year was 31,605.
Other shortages include beauty
parlor operators, laundry workers,
sewing machine operators, qualified
maids, houseworkers, cooks and
nursemaids. There are also search
ties of all types Of hotel and restau-
rant workers, Mr.. Jones said.

Rules Body May Act
tuesday on Plea for
Dupont Circle Probe
Some Members Favor
Inquiry Into Leasing
Of Building by U. S.

The House Rules Committee indi-
Gated today it may meet Tuesday to
consider a resolution introduced yes
terday by Representative Downs,
Democrat, of Connecticut. proposing
an investigation of the circumstances
surrounding the leasing by the Gov
ernment of the Dupont Circle Apart
ments.
Mention of the resolution was
made at the committees meeting
today during consideration OF an
other measure and it was reported
some members favored taking it up.
Action by the Rules Committee
would clear the way for an lnveStl-
CATION by the House District Com
mittee or a subcommittee.
The Downs resolution calls for an
investigation by the House District
Committee or subcommittee of all
data concerning the lease, considera-
ton paid and the type and date OF
the notices served on the Dupont
Circle Apartment occupants.
Some Refuse to Bulge.
Tenants of the building have been
asked to move out before July l5
to make way for defense agency Of
fee workers. Many already have
moved. but others have announced
they will not bulge. threatening to
take the custer to court.
In his resolution Mr.. Downs
pointed out that the acute housing
shortage makes it difficult and per-
haps impossible for many OF the
apartments tenants to find other
places to live in the District.
Many of these tenants may be
compelled to find housing facilities
in other cities adjacent to or re-
moved from the District of Colum-
bia." the Downs resolution stated
further. Involving much sacrifice
and expense. Evidently no provl-
sion has been made for housing the
additional workers, estimated at
l 200 or more. who are expected to
occupy the Dupont Circle Apart
ments as an Office building OF the
United States"
Contrary to Welfare
"A very substantial number OF the
present tenants of the Dupont Cir
Gle Apartments" he continued, "are
engaged in defense or other Federal
activities. The leasing of that apart
ment building and the eviction OF
the present tenants will impede and
obstruct the normal activities OF the
Government, including defense &C
tivities.
1.-The action of the public building
branch of the Federal Works Agency
in leasing the Dupont Circle Apart
ments is definitely contrary to the
welfare of a substantial number OF
Federal workers and has tendency
to impede national defense activl-
ties"
