CAPITAL GETS AFTER
AGENTS WHO REFUSE
TO RENT EMPTY HOMES
Lnhcdrd-Of Prices Are alleged
To Be Erncfed in Wash
ingfon City.

WASHINGTON. May IS.-This town
is now in the throes of a conspiracy
against renters.
From ten to thirty columns OF house
for sale-immediate possession" adver-
tiSemen;S in the newspapers here each
day. and not more than Il dozen or so
houses for ren;" ads constitute prima
iacie evidence Of the fact that the
Washington protitecr-who hung up
such an enviable war records still
among us. He has simply changed his
tactics.
The towns bonanza days are over.
Thcy are not exactly over. but they are
siippinG fast. and the rush TO unload
houses at wartime prices is an indica-
ton of their waning. AS the country
approaches normal life again. most
of the war workers here are preparinc
TO return to their homes. while the
'dollar-a year man--onc of the most
familiar figures of the town while hos
tliities were in proSresS--is not extinct
The exodus has meant vacant rooms
and vacant houses but though there
are s;ill plenty OF persons anxious to
locate in the capital. the real estate
men do not care TO rent. They'd rather
sell--at wartime prices.
one thousand houses we've for sale
hut not one roof for rent" is their
latest chant.
The real estate agent still asks un-
heard-o priceS-refUses to rent vacant
property because he hopes TO sell it
and calmly predicts. without batting
an eyelash. that Washington will be
the greatest city in the world

THRIFT NEXT TO

General Federation of Wo.

One of Chief Activities

San Francisco. - Americanization,
Thrift, Community Service, are the
three outstanding activities of the or
ganized club women of the United
States for 1919. This was decided
upon by the General Federation OF
Women's Clubs at their mid-biennial
Council.
The Thrift campaign is under the
direction of Miss Georgia A. Bacon,
Of Worcester, Mass nationally for the
General Federation. Mrs. Edward
Dexter Knight, former president of
the California Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs, is California State Thrift
chairman, and is also officially iden-
tilted with the work in the Twelfth
Federal Reserve District under Rob-
ert E. Smith, director of the War
Loan Organization. She is engaged
at present in working out a practical
thrift 'suggestionaire" for use OF
women's clubs throughout the Twelfth
Federal Reserve District.
The time for inspirational talks
and writing on Thrift is past said
Mrs. Knight. 1.-THE big thing now
is tospractice it. think Che sug-
gestionaire will help the women OF the
West to practice it.
I'VE are far behind our War Saw
ings Stamp quota in this district II
is up to the women to see that we
lend the Government the money it
has asked. In the average family
the women hold the purse strings and
they can save the money required by
putting War Savings Stamps in their
family budgets every week.
