1t was feared that during the zero
weather the wheat roots would be
frozen and the crop badly damaged,
without the presence Of blanket OF
snow on the field. However, such con-
ditions have not resulted. The ex-
tremely cold weather was of short
duration and the fact that the wheat
is matted to a certain extent on he
ground. Afforded some protection to
the rortc.
While the wheat is little yellow in

of little Importance. as with warmer
weather again. growth win again com

be more of help than otherwise, as
it checks the premature ghowth al

trict did not supplant the old, the

The passage of the Kenyon measure

the end of ten years fight by civic
reformers Their pleas that the na-
tons capital-known as one OF the

One other thing which it is expect
ed that the Kenyon measure will ac-
complish is to make public the exact
owners Of property in the red light
district.
Yelled charges that powerful local
sources have preveated its 'cleaniAg
up" because certain prominent indi-
viduals owned houses rented out to
prostitutes, have heretofore been
heard. The Kenyon law is expected
to force appearance in court Of the
actual owners of the premises against
which an injunction is sought, as well
as of the tenants. That the law viii

by proponents who point out that the
measure not only provides for per

property for immoral purposes, bu
also permits the condemnation and

such houses.
