Special Staff Dispatch.

BALTIMORE, June 10. - To
such a scandalous point has rent
profiteering in Baltimore reached
that City Solicitor Field makes the
startling suggestion that police
power be used to curb the grasp
ing landlord.
vitality important war work,
from the making OF munitions to
shipping them aboard, is being
seriously hampered In Baltimore
by the rapicity Of the owners OF
property.
Much-needed workers are being
driven from the city and others
discouraged from entering 1t.
From an Investigation of A
cases, Field finds that rents
have been raised since the United
States entered the war anywhere
from 6 to 122 per cent.
Public Disturbed
AT this time," says Field,
when there are such great de-
mands for labor In the production
Of things necessary for the prose-
cution of the war, 1t would be lit
tie short OF crime for landlords to
be permitted by unreasonable de-
mands to enforce In any whole
sale way the removal of any por-
ton OF the community with the
attendant expense and labor Incl
dental to such removals.
Moreover, the public mind is in
state Of excitement at this time
because Of the war, and the I'M
reasonable demands OF landlords
tend to provike hot blood and to
endanger the public peace.
City Might Act
THE court of appeals has de-
cided that the city council may
legislate on a subject within the
police power where the state has
already legislated. II landlords
are unreasonable In their rents
the city council can act by virtue
OF its police power.
THE council could pass an Or
dinance which would be legal and
valid along the following lines:
First: Setting limit either in
the way of percentage increase
over the pre-existing rent or a per-
centage Of return on the market
value OF the property or the as
sessed value of the property.
Create Board
Second: Creating a board to
hear controversies between land
lord and tenant as to what was
reasonable rent, with q right of
appeal to the city court, and a
Jury trial.
Third: Providing that upon
the payment or tender of such
rent as the ordinance declares to
be prima facie reasonable, the
tenants should have the right to
continue in possession of the
premises pending any hearing be-
fore the board. or the final dispo-
sition OF the question upon appeal
to the city court, and during that
time the power of any justice of
the peoples court to pass any or
ders evicting the tenants be sus-
pended"

The new pension bill recently

The increase, which raises the

The Watch Had Stopped.

A pompous army surgeon who was
sent 10 a recruiting depot in Scotland
TO examine some newly enlisted men
had such an abrupt and overbearing
manner that he frightened some OF
the recruits. One nervous man was
unable to answer the first question as
TO his name and place of birth.
"Why don't you answer ?" roared
say?"
Still the panic-stricken lad could
only stare open-mouthed at his ques-
toner, who exclaimed
"Why, | believe the fellows stone
deaf !" Taking his watch from his
pocket he held it to the left ear Of the
recruit, saying, "Can you hear that
ticking ?"
The recruit shook his head. The
watch was applied to the other ear
with the same effect, and then the doc
tor opened the vials of his Indignation
on the head of the would-be soldier.
"What do you mean by enlistlng
when you are stone deaf ? Why, you
can't even hear the ticking OF watch
when it's held within an inch of the
drum of your ear ~
And then the worm turned.
"She's ma gaun," said the recruit
finding his tongue at last.
When the doctor, holding the watch
to his own ear, found that il had in
deed stopped, his feelings were toe
powerful to be expressed in words
extensive though his vocabulary ordi'
narily was.

A Substantial" American army is

fairs a few days ago. Behind this

the most modern and effective kind (;
artillery, machine guns, automatic
rifles and small arms have been pro-
vided for ever soldier in France in
1918, the Secretary continued So
modern is some OF the equipment, he
said, that new factories had TO be
created. Great programs for the
production of additional material
have been formulated He also
pointed out that we have S6,026 Off
GERS and men in the aviation section
of the signal corps. Our military
forces total l10,S56 officers and L.
42S,65O men, roughly six times what
il was in the Spanish-American war.
Secretary Baker told the committee
that he cited these vast activities to
show the American people the won
derful effectiveness with which they
have been able to organize the man
power and material-power," and the
Germans that we have actually

sources against their military ma

Picked Material Used.

No part of an airplane is subject to
greater strain than the landing gear
when the machine is brought TO earth.
Because of this each piece of the
wooden material is made from care
fully selected spruce, reinforced BY
binding. The metal joints are also
further strengthened by rubber wind
irgs, which increase resiliency. All
parts are cut to air-strean shape to
decrease resistance.
In the construction of one airplane
of the more simple type 244 feet Of
spruce, So feet of pine, 81 feet of ash
and = feet of hickory are used.
The list of materials, exclusive Of
the engine, also includes 3, 262 feet
of lwire, 1913 forgings, 92l steel
stampings, 81 square feet of veneer,
If gallons of varnish, SO gallons of
dope" POI square yards of linen,
"a feet of rubber, and 65 pounds of

"A Valuable Load of Hay.

An incident that gives an idea of the
Sandford Fleming, the Scotchman who
played such an important part in the
development of Canada, first set foot
on its streets nearly seventy years
ago, is told by Mr.. Lawrence J. Bur-
pee in Sandford Fleming Empire Build
er.
Andrew Anderson, a farmer in the
township of York, took load of hay
one autumn TO Toronto TO sell in the
open market Finding no sale, and
unwilling to take the load back with
him over very heavy roads, he offered
it to the proprietor of Elgin's Hotel
on Yonge Street on very easy terms.
The hotel keeper could i'll spare cash,
and after some bargaining he offered
Sanderson in payment for the hay the
vacant lot on the northeast corner of
King and Yonge streets, which San
derson reluctantly accepted. That lot
was sold not long ago for a million
and quarter dollars.

A famous knitter is Grandma Cox,

For the soldiers over the sea.
They've Joined the army of womanklnd
And their needles flash in the sun
The army of women of just one mlnd,
The knitting women who stand oehina
Our men till the war is won.
There's million women that knit to-

In home and office and shop;
Thev even knit in church, folks say,
And the needles fly while the parsons
pray,
For the knitting must never stop.
Some knit for the soldier boys un-
known
In the trenches over the sea;
For they have no heroes OF their own'
No lovers in the shell-bound zone
And the saddest of all are these.
But most of them pray for their own
as they knit,
For lover, and son, and friend
For their very own they must do their
bit,
And every stitch carries love with it,
And the prayers that never end.
Then how can we help but win the
fight,
When even children leave their play,
And their needles like lances hash IN
the light,
And a million women from morn till
night
Keep knitting as they pray
