THE BIG FIGHT

THE BIG FIGHT
Deer Lodge, Mont, April 1.-Frank
Conley, mayor of this city, has wired
Tex Rickard, the promoter of the Will
lard-Dempsey bout, asking Rickard
TO thoroughly consider this town be-
fore deciding upon a place to stage
the big bout.
The citizens of Deer Lodge are
contesting the state boxing law. Our
former law was repealed by what was
known as the Keeley commission bill,
the Keeley bill leaving us without
any law against boxing. We will con-
test this in the Supreme Court with
in fourteen days, and If successful, as
We feel confident we will be, there
will be no limit to the number of
rounds. Will offer you $4,000 to
stage the Willard Dempsey bout in
Deer Lodge, provided we can have
half of motion picture privilege"

Home Owning Campaign
Meets With Success
State Now Required by Law to
Help in Massachusetts
Experiment

Massachusetts has tried successfully
an experiment in aiding workers to
own their homes, according to a report
sent to the United States Department
of Labor, which is now conducting an
Own Your Own. Home campaign Two
years ago the first fund Of $4,000 was
placed at the disposal of homestead
commission, and the state budget now
before the Legislature contains a pro
vision for $4,000 for further invest
ment in building.
tract of land comprising seven
acres was purchased at Lowell, one of
the largest centres for textile manu-
facture in the country. Plans for forty
six houses, each with a garden, were
made for this site, and twelve cottages
were built at cost of from S2.4oO to
$4,000 each. Every house was readily
sold, an original deposit of from $50
to 500 being required and sufficient
amount monthly being paid to assure
the ownership of the property in six
teen years.
The plan worked out so satisfac-
torily that application was made to
the Legislature for an additional $780,
O00, but the amount was cut down to
3oe,OO0 on account of necessary con-
siderations of economy. Before the
first money was appropriated the Su-
preme Court of Massachusetts, had
ruled adversely on the question
whether the state legally could appro
pirate money for such purpose, but
when the plan was submitted to the
people on a referendum it was an
proved by an overwhc lining vote. A
law providing for state housing was
then enacted

Realty Man Takes Steps
TO Stop Rent Profiteering
Lotion I'll. Slawson Purp oses to Insert Change in
New Leases Which Will Penalize Tenants
Who Make Profit Through Sub.Rentals

Lotion H. Slawson has taken the initia
tive against protitcering tenants who
are bringing public censure on rea
estate. Lessees of business space anC
apartments have turned the shortage tc
their own advantage, subleasing THEN
premises at rentals far in excess of the
amount they pay to the owners of the
property. They arc the real protiteers
and the practice has become so exten-
sive that lot Of the accusations lev
elled against property owners is right
fully due to tenants who suitcase.
Mr.. Slawson said that the Lotion II
Slawson company was opposed to prof
iteering, and since they did not do it
they were going to see that tenants in
buildings which they control would not
do it,
A clause has been inserted in all
leases being made by the Slawson Com
pany which is expected will quench the
desire of tenants TO profiteer. The
clause is:
LAS a special consideration for the
making of this lease the tenant agree s
that if at any time during its term the
premises herein leased be sublet or the
lcase be sold any profit whatsoever ac-
cruing directly or indirectly thercfrom
shall go, in its entirety, to the land
lord, and the tenant by accepting this
lease expressly relinquishes all rights
to and claims for any profits whatso-
ever"
Mr.. Slawson said that
1T is our practice to renew n lease
falling due in 1915 or 1920. at the
same rental as heretofore, if that
rental was right, but if that rental was
TOO low, or out of proportion to other
leases in the building, we renew on a
proper basis of relationship to other
rentals in force in the building. If
the lease goes to a new tenant entire
ly, then we do get q trife more money
The point we arc trying to make is
that the old tenant is entitled to CON
sideration, and simply because there
is dearth Of space should not be
obliged to pay excessive rental.
''In The city of Pittsburgh, and quite
recently, this question of rent prof.
teering was taken up and squelched by
the clty's admins trative officers. II
there is rent profteerng in this city
Immediate steps should be taken by
the proper authorities to curb any one
with the mistaken theory that he
can both have his cake and eat it.
Real estate properly handled has
paid, even during the last seven years.
Only where properties have been mis-
managed, or where buyers in the first
instance, did not exercise right judg-
ment IN their buying, property invest
ments have suffered.
at is evident that the very few fore
closures in the last five years show
that fundamentally real estate in New
York City has been, is and viii CON
tinue to be sound from whatever angle
it may be viewed"

apartments would be the demand and
that country places would have greater
call than heretofore. He thought that
the men who built on New York Cen
trail property had no reason to regret
doing so, and that It was likely they
would duplicate their operations if it
was possible TO do so to-day.
1.-The apartment house development
of the Grand Central area is perhaps
one of the most interesting in the re-
cent history Of New York" lie said.
The problems of the architects and
engineers were many. It was the first
time that apartment houses had been
built over railroad. The Grand Gem
tral Palace was erected as an cx-
pertinent, and from this structure
much valuable information was secured
which was used in the construction of
the hotels and apartments on the

UTILIZING x-RAY
DESTRUCTIVE POWERS

1t is generally known that X-rays
are dangerous, exerting a destruc-
tive effect upon animal fiber exposed
to their action for any extended
period. X-ray operators have
learned to be careful of the burns
inflicted by the invisible beam.
A type of apparatus is described
in the Electrical Experimental
which designs to utilize the X-ray's
destructive powers. 1t is an X-ray
oven, devised by Florida inventor,
David Collins Gillett, and is calcu-
lated to eliminate insects or other
animal life that would tend to de-
stroy perishable articles, such as
tobacco, certain foods, ETC., or else
to sterilize and prevent further
propagation of the species, and also
to destroy any eggs that the insects
have already laid.
In certain instances, such as in
the treatment of furs, wooden arti-
cles or feathers, it is desirable to
destroy the moth or other destruc-
tive insect before it can 90 the
damage. With other perishable ar
ticles, such as grains, the few Wee
wills or other insects that may be
found initially in the grain will do
little damage to the grain provided
their powers of reproduction are
annihliated or destroyed, and fur
Their that the eggs already laid be
steriliZed
Again, it is well known that tri-
chinae, which infest raw pork, are
in themselves harmless to human
life; but that the second genera
ton, when bred in the human sys-
TEN after eating raw pork, becomes
very dangerous to human life.
Therefore, in the case of the raw
pork or of the grain, it is only
necessary to destroy the fertility Of
the original insect to in a large
measure prevent any material in
jury, from the presence of such
insect infestation.

SCORES HIS LANDLORD.
Merchant Tenant by Window Card
Hits Profiteer.

New York, Nov. 19.-Thousands
of pedestrians on Forty-second
street between Fifth and Madison
tanned and thrilled to sympathetic
mirth by the sign painted on the
shop window of a well-known hat
merchant, who for six years has
been amiably and profitably sup
plying commuters, natives, visiting
fremen and foreign guests with
modish, rakish, modest, sportive,
debonair and snappy chapeau for
moderate sums.
But today the iron entered into
the good hattist's soul and irony
into his advertisements with such
unexpected public interest that traf-
fic policemen were called off their
posts to keep hilarious mob of
fellow sufferers in the rent prob
lem stepping lively.
The sign on the window reads:
Keep this under your hat.
"The reason | am moving: From
1913 to 1918 | paid $500 for this
little store, l2x20 feet. Last year
! renewed for $3.50. Last month
was told to get out or pay $4,000.
'I've been fighting the H. G. of
l.. for II years, and / am not go
ing to begin now to rob the public
to pay this landlord. Can you beat
this for rent profteering?"
For the benefit of the inquisitive
public the hat merchant gave the
name of his landlord in letters
foot high, thus showing no favorit-
ism in his application of the old
adage, 1T pays to advertise. -
