CONGRESSMAN JOHNSON'S
ANTI -PROFITEERING BILL.

Profiteering by the landlords
Of the City of Washington is get
ting too strong for Congressman
Ben johnson Of Kentucky. Sc
he has introduced a bill putting
tax of 100 per cent. ON all In
creases in rent in the District of
Columbia, during the past few
months. The bill has been re.
ferred to the Committee on the
District of Columbia of which
johnson is Chairman.
1t is good to know that land
lord protiteers are to receive some
attention. But it is very doubt
full if the johnson bill offers the
right way to go about it. It's
terms are drastic and if passed
will make the profiteers squirm.
But what good will that do if
there are not enough houses in
the District to supply demand7
The landlords who are getting in
creased rents are those who have
put their land to some use. They
are not the ones responsible for
the house shortage. The short
age exists because too many own
ers of land in the city are putting
no houses upon it. And the
tendency of the johnson Bill will
not be to encourage them, but
rather the reverse. It may stop
increased rent charges by owners
of houses already built. But it
will not encourage building Of
new houses. And new houses is
what Washington needs.
But the bill can be amended
to remedy that defect. 1t can be
made to distinguish between
house rent and the rental value
of bare land, aside from rental
value Of bare land. aside from
rental for improvements. And
it can levy a 100 per cent. tax on
this rental value. 1t would fall
on vacant land as well as on i'm
proved land. The owner Of a
vacant $4,000 lot would pay the
same as the owner of similar
lot with $4,000 house upon it.
It would not pay to keep the lot
vacant; the owner would either
build upon it or dispose Of it to
someone who would, the house
shortage would end and rents in
Washington would get down to
where they ought to be.
Perhaps Mr.. johnson would be
glad to have his bill strengthened
that way.

SUCCESS WITH THE BACK
YARD GARDEN.
w g g

Many back yard gardens failed
last spring and summer because
they were planted under condi-
tions that made success impossi-
BILE, even with the best cultural
methods. It is waste of time
and energy, which might well be
spent in some more fruitful en-
deavor, to try to grow garde'
plants unless there is a fair
chance to succeed. The follow
ing suggestions for gardening by
Geo. L. Tiebout, horticulturist,
Extension Division, L. s. u, are
timely:
/. The soil in the back yard
should be workable. One filed
with cinders, coal ashes, brick
bats. etc., should not be planted.
2. The drainage must be good.
If water does not run off the yard
readily during heavy rain, or
standing water can not be re-
moved from it easily through
surface drainage it is not suitable
for a garden.
3. When the spot for the pro-
posed garden does not receive
sunlight for a fair portion Of the
day, it is useless to attempt to
grow vegetables.
4. Where chickens ducks, or
other fowls are kept is no place
for a garden unless one or the
other is well fenced.

HISTORY'S HEAVIEST GUN
FIRE TO MEET FOE DRIVE.

London, March 5.-Winston
Spencer Churchill, speaking at
the Mansion House yesterday at
a meeting of the Anglo-French
Society in celebration of the an
nlVersary Of Verdun said:
few weeks, perhaps a
W0days. the Germans must
feither attack on the west front or
expose the fact that they are in
competent to deliver a great Of
fensive. In the hush before this
impending event it is pleasant to
reflect that our army is stronger
and better equipped than ever
before and that the German at
tack will be received with the
most devastating blast of artil-
lery fire in the history Of the
world"
Mr.. Churhill, speaking with
reference to a league Of nations,
said:
"It is important that the league
should be founded on the basis Of
truth and sincerity. There can
be no room in the league for a
Kaiser-ridden Germany. A league
of nations PROSTATE before the
feet of victorious German mill
tarism would be a sickening hum
bug. Self determination of peo-
pies as interpreted by the Prus-
sion drill sergeant would be
dismal farce"
"We realize the Importance to
France and Europe of the liberia
ton of Alsace-Lol raine from the
vile and bitter tyranny of OPP
preston in fhich it has long been
held. We seek this in no lust OF
conquest but because we know

~ us largely arose from the
government Of those provinces
by Germany and the crime which
wrested them from France.

How Germany conserves spaee.

A conservation Of land-space move
ment. In Germany. some time ago, re-
suited in the utilization of dwarf vari-
cites Of fruit trees instead of much of
the shrubbery planted merely for orna-
mental purposes, and in the planting
of small trees close against the walls
Of brick or stone houses so that the
branches could be trained over the
walls In the manner of ivy, says the
Popular Science Monthly.
Pear trees are pruned carefully and
trained to spread out over the walls
Just like vines. The practice Is nov
common In hard-pressed Germany, and
is likely to find favor in this country.
Pear, plum, and other fruit trees are
thus trained over house walls, fences,
and garden partitions so that not an
inch OF ground is wasted. In this way,
600, the trees are prevented fr0n
throwing. too much shade over other
growing things in their Vicinity. and
2se appearance Of the houses is, In
addition, very considerably enhanced.

WHY
Hot Water Cast On Stove
Doesn't Touch It

1t Is impossible to throw a few
drops of water on a red-hot stove.
The water can never touch the stove
at all. What is seen is a few drops
running rapidly oyer the surface, grad
ually getting smaller as they disap-
pear. II the drops are on a perfectly
level place one can see under them to
the other side of the room, thus prov
ing that they are not in contact with
the stove itself. What actually hap.
pens Is that the bottom of the drop
changes at once to steam or yapor on
coming close to the hot surface, and
this vapor is supplied by the drop as
1t gradually goes away. SO the drop
rests on a cushion of vapor until 1t is
entirely dissipated. This state of wa
ter is known as the spherical stage,
and 1t is of interest simply on account
of Its peculiarly and seemingly para
doxical behavior, The reason why the
drop is not Immediately evaporated or
changed to steam is also very inter.
esting. The water vapor that inter-
venes between the under surface and
the red-hot stove Is very bad con.
ductor Of heat. and consequently the
full intensity of heat cannot get into
the water itself, only the amount
transmitted through the yapor being
available for that purpose.

Language is sometimes called the In
strument Of thought. But very wise
man says that really 1t is the nutri'

which thought lives; a medium as nee.
essary TO the activity Of our mental
powers as air Is to the lungs. Cole
ridge said that every new term express.
ing fact not previously defined was

thoughts, then, new words are neces

FARM VS.. CITY

SIC.
Those who have been thinking the
farmland has been underpaid should
compare his wages with what the city
man is paid. An editorial In the July

"The farmland comes in for consid-
cradle discussion nowadays, but he
is much better off than most people
think The Ohio State Council of De-
Tense has been making a survey OF
labor conditions, and reports that a
married man working on the farm for
$50 month is as we'll off as if he
were TO receive sos in city; that a
1875 month farm job equals $llO
city job; that a $40 farm job equals a
$115 city job, and so on. Not taking
into consideration, the report adds,
the possibility of raising some stock
or produce on shares, which is usual
iy customary
Nor has the married man on the
farm job monopoly of advantages.
for the report further finds that an un-
married farmland receiving $25 is as
well off as II he were receiving $50 in
the city; that a $50 Job for the bach
elor farmland equals $50 city job;
and that a $40 job on the farm is as
good as a s95 job in the city, and so
on. The difference in aggregate re-
turns is brought about by house rent,
