RENT LAW RULE AIDS
LESSEE, SAYS REALTOR

'Not only owners, but the renters
themselves. will be benefited in the
long run by the decision" was the
opinion expressed by Charles w. Fair
fax, president of the Real Estate
Brokers Association, when told that
the Court Of Appeals had declared the
salisbury rental act unconstitutional.
"It will stimulate building Of rental
property, which has been almost at
a standstill while the act was in force.
What we need is more space, not more
Legislation.
Letting down the bars to the land
lord may mean increased rentals ten
porarily, until existing demand has
been met in a measure. Then the law
of supply and demand will take ef-
feet
we do not want to regard Wash
ington as a finished" city. We want
1t to grow. 1t cannot grow while the
investors are kept from all encourage
nent to provide homes for the people
What Congress should do now is to
meet the situation as corporations
have met IL in other cities-by in
creasing salaries on fair basis Of
proportion"
1T is very just decision" said
c S. Shreve, secretary Of the associa-
tion. Property owners have suffered
tremendously through it."
Mr.. Shreve did not care to CONNIE Mt
further, since he had not read the
text OF the decision.

CLEVELAND TO VOTE ON
RAPID TRANSIT PLANS

CLEVELAND. Ohio, Dec. 1-Cleve-
land is suffering acutely from con-
gestion and clinic composed of pub
lie officials and traffic experts are
planning relief through a system of
subways, elevated lines or short tubes
through the downtown district.
II. NJ. Brinkerhoff. representing a
New York engineering firm, is making
the survey, and municipal officials ex-
pect to whip the data into shape for
presentation to the voters at a spe-
cial election on February 10. 1t was
believed one of the three ways sug-
gested will be approved.
Officials based their confidence for
acceptance on the keen rivalry be-
tween the citizens OF Cleveland and
Detroit. Detroit has been agitating
for some form Of rapid transit for a
long time without success. Cleve-
landers recognize an opportunity to
get ahead of the automobile city.
The cost of carrying out any one Of
the projects under discussion was es-
timated at around 21,000,000.

NEW YEAR UsHERED m.
Factory and Train whistles Blow Brief
But Noisy Welcome TO 1919.

The advent Of tho new year was vel
coined by the blasts of factory and
train whistles altho the reception given
1919 was less noisy and prolonged
than tina. announcing the arrival OF
1918 or some previous years. The storm
perhaps. kept celebrants who have at
tended to the operation of sirens at the
birth of new year by the home fires
and the deep throated whistles of local
industrial plants were silent. few,
however. were on the job. and the
rumble of one or two Industrial plant
whistles was mingled with the sharp
blasts OF switch engines and i."Cining
or outgoing loconn tires.
The noise was not prolonged. but il
served to announce the coming Of the
new year. The customary Kew Years
eve festivities were few the storm. no
doubt. interfering with much of the
merriment planned.

stratss Value Of pretsetien.-
What has become OF the man VINO
does not believe in life insurance.
Formerly he existed In great numbers.
mainly because Ne was not acquainted
with the values OF old-line. legal re-
serve protection. To-day, this type OF
man Is curiosity. Why? Because ne
has been educated To the values OF IN
surance that he does not have TO Die
to beat. II insurance was not gooa
thing, why should Uncle Sam insist
that every soldier and sailor In the
service buy a $4,000 policy? Why Is u
that the soldiers and sailors insurance
is to be converted to the old-line plan
within five years? 1t Is because the
government realizes that old-linc IN
surance gives absolute protection AZ
the lowest possible rates to insure
safety; that the insured, Is not only
protecting his family but Is saving
money for future use: that he is pro-
tected for life with "a monthly or an
nual income in event Of total dis-
ability.
Few men are known to deposit
reg ular amount in a savings bank LOT
a period of twenty years. but there
are many thousands who have Kept
up their annual payments on life 6n-
surance policies, and have drawn OUT
the, cash value of the policies at
maturity. A savings bank guarantees
only the principal deposited; IL offers
no systematic and persistent savings.
From the bank your widow may draw
what you intended to save.
II is much easier to create and In

himself. Such is the conclusion of
Charles Ray in interpreting 'the
character Of Ben Trimble in Thorn

'vhowing At the Spencer. In this
character Mr.. Ray has to teach a
bunch Of youngsters how to wash
their faces and take in the ears,
how to comb their hair and put
their clothes on. When it comes
to cutting a boys hair Mr.. Ray has
opportunity for a lot of his clever
