BILL WOULD CURB

Prohteering in rentals in Washing
ton may be reached sooner and more
effectively than generally anticipated
il bill reported by the House Pub
lie Buildings Committee. should be
passed. The bill was offered not
long ago by Chairman Clark OF the
House Public Buildings Committee. at
the instance of the Housing Bureau
OF the Department OF Labor.
1t reaches both to the rental situ-
alton and phases OF the housing situ-
alton and while OF national applica-
tion it also applies with peculiar
force in Washington.
Under the bill, the President can
absolutely control rentals in areas
which he designates where indus
trial workers reside who are engaged
in arsenals. shipyards. navy yards,
or other agencies of the United States
and in industries connected with and
essential to the national defense"
Would Apply Here.
The presence OF the Washington
Navy Yard here. as well as other
agencies essential to the national de
fense, would enable the President to
control rentals in the District II he
saw ut
When the President finds rentals
excessive. he can, by this bill, requisi-
tion the property, pay the owner a fair
price, then lease il to workers.
The bill also gives the President
power-which he would exercise
through the housing officials-to con-
denim land or property for the Local
tion OF housing for workerA
The demand for the bill by the
housing officials arose in part from
the case in southeast Washington,
wherein the owner, though assessed
for $500. sought to obtain $4,000
from the Government. II. T. Shan
non presented the facts in this case
TO the Public Building Committee. He
told the committee some OF the de-
tails a few days ago, and gave fur
ther details yesterday. However, he
made 1t plain there were many other
made in different localities to hold up
the Government.
Covers ID. c. Situation
Chairman Clark of the District
Committee was asked whether the
bill reported was not broad enough
TO enable the President to control
rents in Washington.
There is no doubt about it in my
opinion" said Mr.. Clark. Il have
no question that under this bill
Washington could be designated as
an area where 1t was necessary to
protect workers from excessive rent
ais The whole proposition could be
controlled under this proposed legis-
lation.

FOUR TYPES OF MEN.

French Method Of Picking Soldiers For
Special Lines of Work.
"A good Judge Of human nature Is
born and not made" declared DR.. G.
Stanley Hall, president Of Clark uni
versity. Baseball scouts are not able
to tell how they pick men; neither can
any employer tell how he picks his
men,"
DR.. Hall described the French system
Of dividing men into four general types
and selecting them for particular posi-
items in the army accordingly. He said:
First = The digestive type. It is
characteristic Of the heavy jaw, broad
abdominal region. Such men require
more food, need 1t regularly, must be
well fed. Such men, are best on the de-
fensive They are hard to dislodge from
the trenches.
"SecOnd.-The respiratory type. Nos
trils and ears are large: large, long
chest; demand plenty Of pure air; get
FESTIVE under confinement Such men
are selected for work on high noun
tains. They are good in the charge, In
making an attack. Such men exclusive
~ are selected for the aviation corps.
"Third.-The muscular type. Head is
square, limbs long and strong, body
short. This type is good for the bayo-
net charge in the artillery service.
"Fourth.-The nervous type. Large
head tapers down to a sharp jaw. Such
men have power to draw upon their re-
serves. They can get their second wind.
The really great are men Of this type.
Along with this type is closely associat-
ed willingness to sacrifice self for the
good Of others.
Children and animals are guided by
the desire to gain pleasure and avoid
pain. As they grow older they should
learn to bear present pain for future
pleasure Pittsburgh Gazette-Times.

SCHOOL POETRY

War is great stimulator of poetic
sentiment and the present war may
give to the world one of its greatest
poets. The world over poetic instincts
are being awakened and the inward
feelings of youth and age alike are
seeking poetic expression. This trend
toward poetical thought is reflected in
the writings of children in the public
schools. The two specimens of war
verse have come to our desk this
week:
(By Eighth Grade Girl)
I am thinking of your, dear,
AS I sit here alone tonight;
Thinking of the promise you made
When I come home from the fight.
II.
I am weary and tired tonight
I am sick of the water and ships;
/ long for the home that's in front of
And kiss from your rosy lips.
III.
The moon, it is falling low,
The clock says it's almost two;
But sit here alone and long
Longing to see you.
