A Lesson In Human Nature.

Here Is q conundrum that the agent
of one of the big uptown apartment
houses is wrestling with just now:
why is it that the $500 year people
always insist on inspecting apartments
that will rent anywhere from $500 to
$500 year?" He had been ovcrrun
with people of that sort and was worn
out with showing apartments to those
he was sure could not afford to hire
them. Permits were tried on two
other buildings that the owner of this
one had. and he lost at least two ten
ants, as he found out afterward. be
cause they Were not admitted to the
apartments when they went there to
inspect them without the necessary
permit So he stopped the permit husi
ness on this house. Now | am over

arrangement prevents the waist roll
