Cannot Put Soldiers Families Out.
Can a soldiers wife and children
be turned out of home because they
can't pay the rent? My father is in
the U. s. Army in France and the
landlord threatens to turn us out
Answer-No; not if the rent is no
more than $50 month. This is
covered in the Moratorium Bill"
lately passed by Congress. The
courts, however, have authority to
take the circumstances into account,
and will not let the law be used to
defraud a landlord if he tenant is
perfectly able to pay.-Current

lis ONE OF CLERKS
STANCH FRIENDS
Representative Good Favors
Salary Increase in One
General Bill.

Representative James W. Good of
Iowa, a member of tho legislative sub
committee of the House committee on
before which hearings
are soon to be held on tho Heating
bill, which provides for 5 to so per
cent increases in salaries of govern
ment employees. is one Of the stanchest
friends the federal clerks have in Con-
gress. It was he who held out last
year for a much larger horizontal in
crease than the 5 and 10 per cent al
lowed after July l.
Representative Good is in hearty
sympathy with the proposal of Speaker
Clark that substantial increases should
be given to the government workers
it should be allowed to complicate and
entangle the work Of several commit
tees. AS it is now the question of
salary increase is being considered by
the legislative subcommittee, the sub
committee on the District, the sub
committee on sundry civil, which in
cludes such independent establishments
as the Interstate Commerce Commis-
ion, the Federal Trade Commission. the
Smithsonian Institution and the gov
ernment printing office.
In discussing the need for sub
stantial increases for the federal clerks
today Representative Good said:
''Unquestionably there must be some
increase in the salary of the federal
employees over that provided by statute
Either the 5 and 10 per cent horizontal
increase or some permanent law should
be enacted dealing fairly with the fed
eral employe. When practically every
industrial and financial institution in
the country is meeting the abnormal
situation by increasing the pay of it's
employees the government must not lag
behind and 1t ought to lead.
"If it were not for the complications
that would arise in the administration
Of the law the most scientific and just
way of meeting the present emergency
would be to make provision for SUBJ
stantial increases in the ray of employees
who are either heads of families or
who have others dependent upon them
for support. Such increase should be
. sufficient to fully meet the increase i
cost of living.

Mayor Lawson introduced the ques-
tion of preparedness to combat Span
ish influenza and called b. b. Lyons,
superintendent of the Delaware Hos
pital to state conditions for treatment
of this disease. MIR. Lyons said the local
hospitals had already had number
of calls. and because of the inadvisa-
bility of taking patients suffering with
Spanish influenza among others afflicted
the hospitals could not be counted upon
to lend anv help to city authorities.
Mr.. LYONS said the calls were gcncr-
ally from men who lived in camps or
boarding houses, who had no one to
care for them and who wished to pre-
vent contagion among their friends:
He said that since the need for city aid
was clear that the need would be great
er, perhaps overwhelming; that action
preparing isolated quarters to care for
such suffering, should not be delayed.

building at the hospital was suggested
