TENANTS WIN IN COURT
GIVEN A YEARS STAY
New York Justice Limits Kent
Increases to 20 and rs
Per Cent.

New York, April S.--Justicc Harry
Robitzek, in the Bronx Municipal Court
Wednesday, invoked thefull powers vested
in the court by the new anti-rent prof
iteering bills when he granted stays of a
year in eviction eases pending before him.
He also fixed rents, allowing in some cases
20 per cent, and IN other cases % per cent,
over the rents of March, 1919.
The fixing OF rents was drastic
blow to the landlords, who complained
that their business was being taken out
Of their hands. 1t was greater blow
at the lessees, for in basing the in
creases on the rent of March, 1919, they
found that in many cases no increases
could be in order, as the rents had al
ready gone up beyond 20 per cent and
more in n year.
The decisions We're said to be the first
complete victories of tenants under the
new laws, and it is expected that the
other justices will follow the example
of Justice Robitzek.
There were 400 tenants before Justice
Robitzek yesterday. He disposed of 90
per cent of the cases. The tenants
cheered when he granted stays of a year
in some eviction cases, and there was
another demonstration when the court
after a close examination of the land
lords books fixed what he deemed were
reasonable rent increases.

WOMFN FATHERS MUST

One-Piece Garment Even Too
Indecent for Atlantic
City's Morals.

Atlantic City, April S.--No matter
what the trend of feminine fashions may
he with respect to further abbreviatlon
of raiment, there will be no lessening OF
sartorial restrictions upon Atlantic Cltys
beach during the coming summer. DIR.
Charles l.. Bossert, director and censor of
the bathing grounds declared in announc-
inc that. the surf season will be officially
opcned ON Memorial Day, May so.
"Atlantic CITY will not tolerate women
in one-piece suits this summer any more
than in past years. Furthermore, ali
members of the feminine sex, over 10
wears. will be expected, and required, 10
wear stockings. The ban upon bare knees
will be enforced vigorously, as before,
Director Bossert asserted with positive
ness. The regulations contain no stlpuia-
tions as to bare arms or bare necSs.
Shore officialdom has been nient IN re-
gard TO both, but will not view with iavor
any attempt to introduce the backiess
bathing dress.
Personally Doctor Bossert has no OBJ
iections to the wearing OF skirtless cos
Tunes by women. Public opinion, now
ever. has disapproved every attempt TO
make them the vogue here, because SO
many women walk TO and from the beach
in bathing attire, and for that reason the
city again will insist that sklrs7bc Wori'

TIPS THE HELLO GIRLS.
New York Business Man Finds SIS a
Week Speeds His Service.

New York, April sA Jersey City
business man is frank and admits that he $
doing something that is entirely original,
insofar as the giving Of tips is concerned
for he is paying central Office phone girl
n weekly stipend to see that he gets
certain number on the jump. or course,
he doesn't call il salary or tip, but adj
mits that he sends this girl check for $25
every week, and that he considers the
money well spent.
He uses the telephone but once or
twice a day, consequently his health is
not impaired, and he has much to be
thankful for But he found out several
weeks ago that it was almost impossible
to get this number, which meant money to
him when he wanted it. He had just
about decided to use motorcycle messen-
ger boys, when he got his number one
morning in record time.
And he says that the operator who con-
nected him was so pleasant and efhcIent
that he went to much trouble TO learn her
name. despite the iact that they would
not give it to him at the telephone office.

INVESTIGATING FROG QUESTION

Former Representative, P. H. Frye,
has received the following letter,
which goes to show that his work in
the legislature for the protection of
frogs is now receiving some consider
alton:
Mr.. P. H. Frye,
Willmar, Minnesota.
My Dear Mr.. Frye:
You will remember one or two con
situations with me when you were in
the legislature and interested particu
larly in the protection of frogs in Min
nesota.
This subject may become a matter
albeit it was treated lightly by the
legislature, as I recall it, some years
ago. We are just planning thorC
survey of the state to begin this next
summer, to find out all we can about
our resources in that particular de
tail, the number, kinds, and habits OF
our frogs, localities where certain
species are abundant, the kinds most
sought for by shippers, the number
annually caught, methods of capture
and everything pertaining, to this re
source, which resource may prove tc
be, as l think you believe, valuable
state asset which needs protection.
We should very much appreciate q
letter from you with all the detailed
information you can give US as tt
where frogs are caught for shipping
what time of the year, how captured
amount shipped, etc. Will you lei
us hear from you?
I trust you are we'll and that the
world is using you fairly.
Sincerely yours,
F. l.. WASHBURN,
Professor for Economic Zoology

SOME PREACHER THIS

The Republican Gazette knows of one
minister of the gospel, who after fight
ing socialism and free love, quit the
state to come to Minnesota. He was
ready to stay and fight for American in
situations SO long as the fighting was
good, but when the people so far forgot
themselves as to turn over the state
government to a group of irrational
carpetbaggers, it was too much for him.
-Wilmar Gazette, Feb. &c.
The Willmar Tribune would remind
Editor Bakers preacher friend of
Gods commandment, "Thou shalt not
bear false witness against thy neigh
bor." We challenge them to prove
that the people of North Dakota have
condoned either directly or Indirectly
such filthy thing as free love.
The people of North Dakota have
driven out of office carpet baggers of
| the special interests who have levied
tribute upon the state in the interest
of Twin City big business these many
years and these same people have
stood manfully by their program in
eight consecutive elections. BY so
doing they have proven themselves
worthy of being called Americans. II
that minister of the gospel so far for
got his cloth as to give assistance to
the special interests in their fight for
economic supremacy by such~ foul
means as above indicated we don't

The manuscript was lost however
and now the professor can't re-
member what his explanation was.
So there we are.
Like Thomas Edison, the profess
sor is very absent-minded, which
shows he has the requisites Of q
genius. Once his mind was absent
so long they had had to- advertise
in the Lost and Found" column,
and then he forgot to pay the find
or the reward.
When the census enumerator
was around some time ago the pro-
