There are two bills before Congress,
local in their character, and yet of
interest to the whole country. one
is to provide buildings in which to
house tho thousands Of new clerks
who are here and those expected later
on. and the other is to prevent ex-
tortion in the matter OF rents in the
District Of Columbia.
! mention these two bills more par
ucularly on account OF the young la
dies who may he contemplating a trip
TO Washington or who may I've expect
ing an appointment here. Thousands
have come here during recent months
and 1t Is estimated that three thous-
and have resigned their positions and
gone home.
An ordinary government clerkship,
under present conditions. is not what
it is cracked up to be. and this ap-
plies especially to girls. A year ago
II was estimated that WASHINGTON had
a population of $4,000. Today it has
a population of more than 100000,
with but few residences or apartment
buildings. The needs of the govern
ment have accumulated 80 rapidly
that office buildings. big business
houses. apartment houses and even
hotels have been commandeered for

Doing Their Best.

The people have undertaken the
best they could do to take care OF the
surplus clerks and the men have far
ed fairly well so far. Washington is
made up In the main by two classes
Of citizens-those who keep roomers
for a living and those who wouldn't
think OF having n roomer I'm their
homes. In ordinary times the first
class have a hard enough time to get
along and make fair margin Of
profit but now they are enjoying a
harvest. They are not slow TO see
their opportunity and as the vacant
rooms disappear. the rent rose. and
table expenses have gone skyward all
over the country. Not only have the
landlords levied higher rates to cover
the increased cost OF coal and numer-
Gus other things mentioned. but
thousands Of others have leased extra
apartments and are renting them
furnished for exorb!tant prices-three
