Former G. a. Stars
Shouting Good Form
In Higher Leagues

Former stars OF the Central associa-
ton are showing good form with clubs
where they are now signed for the
coming season.
Followers of activities OF the c. A.
are chiefly interested in the success OF
Charlie Hoilocher with the Chicago
Cubs. The former keokuk star no
doubt will appear at short stop when
the National league season open1 and
is expected to fill a gap that caused
Manager Mitchell considerable worry
last year. Hollocher has been fielding
in sensational style on the training
trip. but has banged out few hits. If
HoiIocner does not make good in the
big show it will be due to the fact that
he is not a hard hitter However.
many local fans believe that the Cubs
will retain Charlie simply because he
IS young and has a brilliant future.

LARGE SUM DEVOTED TO HIGH
WAYS AND BRIDGES DURING
PAST YEAR.
NEARLY oNE-THlRD WENT
INTO PERMANENT WORK
tory Results From Money Expended
Large Sums Spent For Highway
Building Equipment and For I'm
used Materials.

Ames, April 20.-Roads and bridge
building and repairing cost Iowa more
than sl5,oe0,0OC last year according to
the Official figures issued by the Iowa
state highway commission.
Roads county and township-cost
$7.72S,650 and bridges and culverts
cost i6,797-ma&mg total of
$3.50 67.
Nearly one third of this amount was
spent in permanent work That is,
work that Will last for years and years
such as cutting down hills, making
fills. building grades and establishing
drainage districts.
Last years expenditures were big
ger by sS2S.420 than 1916 and nearly
one-third bigger :han years ago.
Permanent Work.
Possibly the most surprising and
unexpected development is the fac:
that of the total OF si.1i0,S4O spent on
township roads ia per cent or s4TS,-
I'll. nearly half million dollars. went
for strictly permanent work, while an
additional l7.5 per cent or s6SS,+T0,
more than two-thirds OF million dol
lars more, went for equipment and IN
used material and for tilling BRIDGES
and culverts Expenditure OF a more
or less permanent and satisfactory ma
ture.
An additional I2.a per cent, or s495, :
Isl, was expended almost entirely for
blade grader work putting the road
70 standard cross-sec'ior.
No class Of road work shows great
e- or more satisfactory results for the
money expended.
Township Work Good.
II can be said with absolute fair
ness that 429 per cent OF the town
ship expenditures went for work of a
more or less permanent character and
OF q very satisfactory nature.
Il is not too much TO expect, judging
from the increasing favorable attitude
Of township trustees toward larger
expenditures for more permanent
types of work. that the season of 1918
may see this proportion raised 10 at
least 50 per cent.

d. c. WOMEN INVITED
TO BURLESQUE SHOW
Peggy Braune to Be Hostess at Sat-
urday Matinee,

Miss Peggy Braune. with the
Majestic burlesQue playing this week
at the Gayety Theater, is spending
her first year in the Columbia circuit.
She is girl from the smoky town
OF Pittsburgh. Pa, but that has
nothing to do with her voice, which
is a rich soprano which she uses to
advantage in the sextette from Lucia.
This is Miss BRaune's fourth
season on the stage, as she has been
seen at Polls and spent three years
In vaudeville. She was for time
at the Columbia Theater in the stock
company and met with great success
In the many parts she has played.
Peggy is fond of burlesque and says
that she is in the two-a-day for
keeps. She Is an interesting little
lady and has a large supply of
anecdotes of her past experiences
which she is very willing to tell her
friends whenever they have a chance
to talk with her.
At the Saturday matinee Miss
Braune invites the ladies Of Wash
ington to be her guests at this per-
formance, to which Manager Harry
y. Jarboe has consented to admit the
ladies' free, on paying the war tax.
the MaJestics Is one Of the best and
cieanest burlesque shows on the cir
cult this season. filed with refined
specialties and plenty Of music, which
Is put over with lots of pep by the
chorus.

SAVERSOF GAS !
T0BUY W..S S.
Autoists Urged to Invest
Sunday Economies in
Thrift Stamps.

That war savings stamps be pur-
chased with the money saved by
complying with the Fuel Admins
tration's request to discontinue the
use of automobiles for pleasure
riding on Sundays. is the latest sug-
gestion emanating from the District
war savings committee. The idea
originated with Gilbert Grosvenor.
director and editor of the National
Geographic Society and one of the
most enthusiastic members of Di-
rector D. ]. Callahan's committee.
by which organization the plan has
been approved.
1t has been estimated that hun
dreds OF dollars were saved in gaso-
line last Sunday by District autoists.
and since this item, now saved, was
heretofore a regular expenditure, to
devote an equal sum to the buying
Of war stamps will mean no addi-
burden on the purchaser, at the
same time affording him an invest
ment both patriotic and profitable.
Post once Sales &32,sso.
According to a report received
from Postmaster Merritt o. Chance,
sales of war savings and thrift
stamps at the city postoffice for
the week ending August 80. amount
ed to $32.sS6. Sales at the Depart
ment of Agriculture for the month
OF August were s4,172, bringing the
total for the year to s41,045.
Both the United States navy yard
and the Navy Department have been
active in furthering the sales of
war stamps. The former, through
its paymaster, records sales to
s2O,05o for the month of August,
a total for the campaign of s165,734
At the Navy Department, Chief
Clerk T. S. Curtis reports sales Of
$1,246 for the week ending August
81, making a total for the cam
paign of $90,35O.
1t Is expected that sales generally
throughout the District for the cur
rent month will show a substantial
gain, as a result of the return to
the city of thousands of vacation
lists who were absent for the great
er part of August.

ANTI-RENT-H
BILL IN HOUSE
Measure to Check Profiteer
Drafted by Industrial
Housing Bureau.

A rent bill intended TO be prof
iteer-proof drafted by the Bureau OF
Housing and Transportation was in
troduced in the House yesterday by
Representative Frank Clark. of Flor
ida. chairman of the Committee on
Public Buildings and Grounds.
The bill empowers the President
to requisition houses and apartments
until after the war.
In case the landlord Is not sat
isfed with the compensation declar-
ed by the government to be a fair
one, he is entitled under the terms
Of the bill to sue the government.
In such case he is paid three-fouyths
OF the amount set by the govern
ment and the difference between this
and the amount he thinks he should
receive will be paid to him on de-
cision Of the court to that effect
Several similar Bills.
There are several anti-profteer rent
bills before the House, but this one
drafted by the Bureau of Housing and
Transportation seems most fully to
meet the needs of the bureau.
Careful investigations have shown,
according to the statement OF the bu-
reau. that rents in industrial districts
have increased in some instances con-
siderably more than 200 per cent, and
that the labor turnover in war indus
tries. because of the rise in rents. has
actually retarded contracts sorely
needed by both army and navy.
The Emergency Fleet Corporation
has been able to protect its workers
from unwarranted rent increases
through the agency of a law even
wider in its scope than the bill just
introduced. 1t is held to be highly de-
sirable, therefore, to have all war
workers on an even basis in this re-
spect SO that the labor turnover from
enc war industry to another will be
minimized to the lowest point.
Just claims to increase in rent will
not be ignored, but excessive rises i'm
posed because of shortage OF housing
space. due to the influx Of war work
ers will not be tolerated
