Collection of Data on Rent In

and District Governments join the movement inaugurated
by Postmaster CHANCE to collect data rent increases
Government workers in the District, real benefits to
may result in the event that Congress should de-
ter1nne into drastic Investigation of the rent stua
ton here.
II would be far better if Cabinet officers and heads Of
independent bureaus would get together and order this
collection of data by their chief clerks directing every
aid possible in the way of clerks and workers to gather
the material
Government workers in Washington have been under
fearful financial strain for many months The bulk Of
them especially those with families have been living right
up their incomes although practcng every economy to
make income meet ougo Thousands have been unable to
do this and in debt Then the hosting of rents
some of it probably fair but much of it pure profteerng
of an outrageous Is that sort of thing going to
help matters in Washington
About the only possible good the data do is to
inform Congress two questions the mlserably low
salaries paid by the Government second reveal facts to
what increases here amount to- and whether they
are just increases.
1t will be manifesty unfair for Senators and Repre-
lsentatves to begin campaign of abusive speeches OF
Washington as whole when Congress meets Let Con-
gres determine what landlords exceeding decent bounds
lin their increases 1t do this through compre
hensve investigation covering property valuations If the
investigation does reveal shameless proeering upon
public poorly provided to stand it, then let Congress make
public the NAMES of those guilty. Then adopt laws that
will stop it and which will stand the test in the court

fcation of ALL Westinghouse for the nisdongs OF

LONDON. Oct Can one fall in

The question Is raised by The
Test Kiss" n new dramatic skit.
On the stage Miss Violet Van
burgh has these lines:
81 don't despise people who fall
in love-I pity them. You suggest
I may fall in love again one of
these days. No. The development
of my intellect has placed me be-
yond the reach of such a catsstro-
phe.
~ do not say | shall never marry
aEain-there Is still something to be
said for such a contract when en-
tered into with intelligence; when
the mental vision Is not blurred by
the sticky fog you call love.

isn't it?"

Beatrice Fairfax
ON
Marriage.

Here's a letter which presents a
new and original angle on an old
situation.
"Just having broken my engage
ment, because OF my fance's prov
ing to be a liar" writes Jean non
chalantly, land a man who thinks
a woman automatically becomes a
chattel when she marries, the fol-
tice:
"The majority of my girl friends
take the attitude that they must
run away from marriage-that it is
a thing to be Stunned. because they
believe that the happiness it af-
fords is only temporary.
"Now, though l have just had a
very sad affair, ] do not take that
view OF matrimony. Am ! wrong?
And can you tell me why so many
young women have that attitude
today? Is II the fault OF the men
or are the girls all becoming pessi-
mists?"
Now. answering Jean ofrhand and
in the "smarty" tone one is often
tempted to take, I'd say that girls
today aren't running away from
marriage, but right straight after
1t. And this "smarty" answer which
dismisses the subject may be right
in part. But it doesn't cover the
entire situation. Not at all.
One of the most marked features
Of today's attitude toward life is
its desire to shirk responsibility. .
The irresponsible bachelor who
doesn't want to assume burdens or
meet obligations is everywhere. He
Graves the selfish desire of the mo-
ment. He wants-"what he wants
when he wants it"--but he wants IL
as cheaply as he can get 1t and
without entailing his future to pay
for 1t. BarRain-hunters-tha is
what the selfish. irresponsible bach
elors OF today are.
How can a large body OF individu-
ais go about with a DEFINITE atti-
tude toward life and fail to infiu-
ence other folks? IL men want to
sip the sweets from every flower"
what is more natural than that
their attitude should shape the
feminine one too?
1t has never seemed to me wise
to lay so much stress on mascu.
line and feminine viewpoint. Ma
ture has made us different for her
own purposes. Our differences
when natural-sttract; our unlike
ness makes complete union and one
ness, when two are united through
love. But when we exaggerate. as
when we ape each other--no good
results.
SO. IL 1t is true that the girl of
today has tendency to avoid mar
rage and homemsl<ing and the inn
mortality of bringing children into
the worldNisn't she just a sad little
follower OF butterfly-men?
Somehow ] don't believe it's true.
think Jean" writing with
jaundiced pen and equally jaundiced
heart, has stepped herself so deep
in the poison of her disappoint-
ment that she can't think fairly
and honestly. But " what she
writes Is true. tits pity It's true.
Here's thing for all OF us to
think about: Is the. doctrine OF liv-
ing for the day. OF assuming no
burdens. Of feeling bound to no
