RENT LAWS INEFFECTIVE.
Prohteering Landlords Still Operating
in New York City.

New York, July 1.-THE new state
rent laws are ineffective and have not
deferred profteering landlords from
continuing rent gouging assaults on
thousands Of tenants in New York
City, according to Leo Kenneth Mayer,
chief counsel for the mayors commit
tee on rent profteerng
The landlords are adopting diverse
methods to circumvent the new laws,
Mr.. Mayer declared, and have been sue
cessful to a certain extent.
The three chief lodges employed by
the landlords as outlined by Counsel
Mayer are to:
Notify tenants that their leases will
not be renewed unless they are willing
to pay exorbitant rentals. II they re-
are then ousted by due process of the
law.
Notify tenants that the premises
have been sold on the cooperative plan
but offer to sell them the apartment,
if they will pay the exorbitant sum
asked
Show higher valuation on their
property by inter.transfer of property
through alleged sales and thus be able
to extract higher rental.
The first method, according to Mr..
Maher, is the most popular but is rath-
er slow as it takes from one month to
one year to legally evict a tenant.
The cooperative selling plan, he de-
clared, was one Of the new inventions
OF the landlords to exploit the ten
ant.
The transferring Of property on the
pretense of making a bona fide sale
and thus increasing the valuation of
the premises is one of the latest
lodges, Mr.. Mayer explained BY this
method the landlord SELLS" to a rela-
tive or business partner, then buys"
the property back again and thus runs
up the valuation, which will command
higher rental under the state laws.
The entire legal staff of the rent
committee has been placed at the dis.
posal of tenants In their fight against
the rent profteer. Landlords, who are
inclined to be fair are meeting their
tenants in the Offices of the committee

There is a constant food Of com.

which is visited by about 5000 ten
ants every week.
The committees Office staff of seven,
according to Mr.. Mayer, handles more
than 1000 complaints by mail daily be-
sides from $50 to 800 telephone calls.
The committee, which is maintained
as a municipal department, is making
an investigation of these claims and
furnishing legal talent free of charge
to all worthy cases.

NATURAL WONDERS GROW.
Yellowstone National Parks Phenom
ena Are in Great Brilliance.

Interesting changes have developed
this year in the natural wonders of
Yellowstone National park. Led by
Old Faithful geyser, which has short.

by almost quart of an hour and is
now playing every Ga minutes, the gey-
sers and hot springs are on their best
behavior, promising a season of UNI

| exceed 100000 for the first time in the
history of the park.
Unusual depth Of snow during the
winter, followed by rainy spring, is
believed to be responsible for the bril-
nance of the natural phenomena. Album
dant moisture has been stored in the
underground passages feeding the gey-
sers and springs to enable them to ex
eel all their previous exhibitions.
The Grand has become the parks
most powerful geyser. 1t is playing
once or twice each day and for 10 to
30 minutes affords magnificent spec

by Ave to IL distinct eruptions. Giant

Jupiter, for many years the finest of
all the terraces, has lost his leadership,
being SURPASSED by the prosaically
named Pulpit terrace, which is sending
more water than ever from its sap
phire pool over series of beautifully
curved basins, fretted and colored like
some old Gothic carving, until more
than 200 feet below a conduit is reached
which takes the warm waters from all
the springs into the open-air bathing
pool
Hymen terrace is attracting great
attention because of the abundance and
exquisite shape of the alga, or micro.

their color. Nowhere else in the park !

FEW SAND GLASSES

Writer Who Has Made Tests Finds

Housewives in these days very com

purpose in many restaurant and hotel

The contrivance is, of course, quite
