South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1920-12-15

a time since the days Of Andrew
Jackson when such a comparatively
small number OF federal employees
Will be affected by an incoming ad-
ministration. This Is principally
due to the fact that Pres't Wilson
issued an executive order under
which all the pOstmasters In the ma
ton were put under the forms of
civil service.
Nevertheless. the demand for fed
eral offices is just as great now
among the republicans as IL was
among the democrats when Wood
raw Wilson took office in 1913. In
every state thousands OF eager as
pirants for federal Jobs are already
initiating their campaigns and re-
publican Representatives, senators
and state chairmen are being over
whelmed with requests for indorsc-
ments for this that or the other
job.
IT is a cafe prediction that when
Inauguration time rolls around on
March 4 thousands OF those who

ers who will haunt the offices OF
their representatives and senators
seeking apr ofntments that may. or
may not, come. The 25, 600 changes
expected 10 be made by the new adj
n1inistration cannot be made 70 IN a
day and il will be six months or a
year before the greater part OF the
changes are made. Yet it viii be

College Girls Give City
Glimpse of Past's Glory
Hunter Students Parade on
Fiftls Avenue in Costumes
of Fifty Years Ago

Fifth Avenue saw the styles Of fifty
years ago yesterday in a fashion
parade Of "sweet girl graduates of the
first class of Hunter Colleg Fifth
Avenue marveled at the gorgeous crea-
tions of lace and velvet and satin
which were designed for the glorifica-
tion Of the young idea, and decided
that the high cost of graduation
dresses at least is no worse o-day
than it was fifty years ago.
The gowns are the property of the
college and we're released from their
glass cases yesterday for the first time
since their young owners of fifty years
ago outgrew them. The parade was
part of the campaign Of Hunter Col
leg graduates to raise Sl50,000 for a
new alumna building, and was followed
by speechmaking and motion pictures
on the steps of the Public Library.
Of bygone valedictorans were members
of the class of 1920 Miss Helen
Lucky, president Of the Students Self
Government League, led the strange
little procession in q costume Of black
lace over red satin, topped by a jaunty
little green straw hat, with a plume
nodding over her left eye in most un-
academic style.
Others in the parade were Miss
Lillian Nicholas in yellow satin, Miss Use
Gronau In pink brocaded velvet, with q
train long enough to give nervous pros

Miss Mary Towers in black velvet and

Maryland Rent Bill Sets
Profits at IS Per Cent
Fine of $1,000 for Those Who
Seek to Evade Proposed
Measure

BALTIMORE, Jan. 26.-Any return
in rentals of more than Is per cent
will be profiteering under bill drawn
for presentation at the present session
of the Legislature by Howard Bryan,
president of the second branch of the
City Council.
A tentative draft Of the proposed
measure to put a curb on excessive
rents for dwellings and apartments
was made this morning by Mr.. Bryan.
Actual cost Of construction, plus cost
of betterments and ground rental,
forms the basis on which the return is
to be estimated under the terms of
this bill In the case of dwellings or
apartments constructed prior to jan
uary l, 1917, the last purchase price
prior to that time may be used as the
basis upon which rentals may be fig
ured.
Upon demand" owners, agents,
lessees or sub-lessees must furnish
proof showing the cost of construction
and improvements. A fine Of not more
than $1,000 is pescribed for the firsr
otfense and not more than $4,000 for
the second, or Imprisonment for not
longer than one year, or both.

Rhode Island Dry Fight

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Dismissal
of proceedings brought by the State of
Rhode Island to test validity of the
Federal Constitutional prohibition
amendment was asked by the govern
ment in a motion filed to-day in the
Supreme Court by Solicitor General
King. The motion was taken under
advisement.
The real showdown in the Rhode
Island case will come upon this motion,
according to Mr.. King, which. however,
Will not be argued until after the

tackled the courts jurisdiction and al
legged that the Rhode Island authorities

validity of the Ohio constitutional
referendum amendment will be heard
by the Supreme Court on March |
