Bending over q hospital cot Mr.. and
Mrs. c. r. Fielding. OF ga Highland
avenue. Takoma Park, today are
keeping vigil over their fve-year-old
daughter, Gladys. who was run over

Little Gladys had stepped from her
fathers automobile to cross the
thoroughfare. Her parents. two sis
tiers, Doris and Cecile: the grand
father, William Fielding, and DR..
Clarence Betzner. a friend, witnessed
the accident. Before they could reach
the child the wheels of an automobile
driven by Lloyd Burgess. OF 127
Eighteenth street northwest, passed
over her body. An examination at
George Washington Hospital showed
that the child suffered Internal in

skull.
The girl was conscious for several
hours and talked with her parents.
Later her condition became critical.
Little hope was. held out for her re-
coyery today. Burgess is being held

CONSIDERATION
OF POSTAL PAY

The House today resumed consid-
Grafton OF the postal pay increase
bill.
1t was expected by some members
Of the District Committee that Dis
trict business would be taken up in
the House today, but this went over
and consideration OF postal pay was
again given attention. The House
discussed this at length last week.
and adopted an amendment by Com
gresham Madden TO make the in
creases permanent.
Former Speaker Cannon brought
up the subject OF making the in
creases permanent again this after
noon and spoke against the PROPOSE
ton.
The disposition OF the House. how
ever. Is 10 make the increases perma-
nent and TO pass the bill.

they could haev been bought for one
year ago.
Facing the genuinely serious situa.
ton in the matter OF homes, tenants
often buy when they are i'll prepared
to do so, knowing full well that II
they do not, somebody else will. Cp
to this time the terms have been
made easy, the owner being content
to accept a first mortgage at satisfy
ing rates of interest.
Practically none of the buying, II
is stated. is for investment The pur-
chasers are seeking homes for them
selves, where they can remain per-
manently. As the demand increases,
the reign of the Spectator may be-
gin. 1t all depends on how hot the
demand and how small the supply.
During last week a number of real
estate firms put through from six to
ten sales of houses daily each. prop
critics ranging from IS, 500 to $4,000.
There is likewise a hustle for houses
far above these prices. with increas-
ing demand for suburban homes that
are fitted with modern conyeniences.
Where VIII 1t Endf
Just when and where all this Will
end and what radical readjustments
may come in the, home and business
life OF Washington as a result, real
estate dealers do not undertake to
prophesy.
A. S. Gardiner. OF Gardiner & Dent,
today pointed out what he declares to
be a most dangerous menace in the
Johnson law. 1T bears upon large
boarding houses throughout the city.
AFr Ia
owners OF these houses responsible to
a large extent for profiteering in
rooms that may be INDUCED in by
boarding house keepers. The penal
ties fall upon the owners. II fear the
law will close hundreds OF boarding
houses" said Mr.. Gardiner, "as own
ers of these properties do not feel
that they can keep track Of all the
tenants are doing and think il unjust
that they should be held responsible
for the acts OF others. When it Is re-
membered that thousands of young
people who now live in these houses
must seek other quarters, already eN-
ceedingly scarce, the situation has
a dark look"
Mr.. Gardiner foresees a uniform
! raise of 10 per cent in rents just a:
son as the law passes. The bill pro-
vIdes that the rent of houses shall not
be increased above 10 per cent over
the prices of 1915 and 1916 without
penalties. "Thirty-seven real estate
firms in this city presented to Mr.
Johnston undisputable data" said Mr.
Gardiner, showing that the rent OF
houses in Washington increased only
about 1 per cent since 1915. The pro
posed law will permit an increase OF
10 per cent"
Real estate brokers give Mr.. John
son credit for absolute sincerity in
seeking legislation that will penalize
extortion such as has gone on in
many instances. They know that he
is working in the iPterests of the man
OF small or moderate means, as
against the msney-grabber, but they
insisted today that his legislation is
going to do immense harm in some
directions. They yet hope to be able
to convince him on some Of the points
they present, so that IL the bill is
passed, 1t will help rather than in
tensify conditions.

HERO SAVES THREE
CHILDREN TRAPPED
MOURNING HOUSE

Baby cries, broken by choking, led
Hugh Council, OF 615A Orleans
street northeast. up a flight of stairs
at 617A Orleans street early this
morning, where flames and smoke
made passage almost impossible.
In a smoke-filled room at the head
OF the stairway, he found two chill
dren in bed. One was two-year-old
Raymond Babcock, almost suffocated.
The other was his sister, Lorain, four
years old. Their mother, Mrs. Ben
jamin Babcock. was i'll in bed on a
floor below.
Council bundled the smaller child
in a blanket that had covered him
in bed. He reached for Lorain and
hoisted her shoulder high.
Bears Them To Safety.
Smoke was pouring into the room,
but he staggered to the stairway,
and bore his burden safely to the
street.
Meantime. other occupants OF the
house had carried Mrs. Babcocll, the
mother, to che street. All were taken
to the home of a neighbor, Mrs. Bah
cock is nearly Frustrated, but the
two children, were laughing eight
hours later as though nothing had
happened.
When Council managed to save
these two toddIers, he had accomplish
ed a record in heroism that may have
meant the saving of three child lives.
He had just previously carried his
own three-year-old son Thomas out of
their home which was filled with
smoke from one of the most spec
tacular fires that have brkeA out in
the northeast section in some time.
Homes Damaged.
The fire started about a. m,
damaged eight double homes. in
Orleans and Morton streets, and
caused smoke and water damage TO
six adjacent. The seriously burned
were Gil to GIT Orleans and $40 to
642 Morton. The damage Is esti-
mated at $1,000.
It Is believed that the fire started
in the rear of Glib Orleans street,
occupied by Mrs. Lottie Sullivan.
Council heard an explosion just be
fore the broke out. Fire Marshal
Nicholson said the noise probably
came from the smashing OF a window
glass. The origin of the fire has not
been determined. and police are in
vestigating. i

''Too long public school education
has been the foot ball of persons who
have no actual knowledge of the needs
of the schools, or methods of educa-
tion," says The Milford Chronicle.
"The people of Delaware are awakened
to the fact, that they have been pay
ing money to maintain schools which
are not effective in educating their
children--therefore their money is
wasted to large per centage. Each
section of the state has different en-
vironments, which to the local indi-
vidual, without a wide view or exper-
ience, believes them to be vital points
to the people of that district; but, in
almost every case when investigated,
it is clearly shown that these condi-
tions do not assume an important part
of the question. In the matter of
opening the schools in September,
there has been. and will De, opinions
advanced why one section should be
deferred because of some local con-
ditions of labor, or convenience. This
should not be permitted. The schools
can be opened at one and the same
date all over Delaware, and no incon-
venience be experienced. The child
Of school age does not form an impor-
tsnt part of the labor supply, and for
that reason that reason fails. Open
the schools at a fixed date, compel
the parents to have the children in
the schools under a real compulsory
attendance law effective for the full
seven months of the school year, and
the people will be the best served il
education. -
