war Against Iapanese Landlords.

The steady migration Of population
to the cities from the interior, which
had been going on in Japan prior TO the
outbreak of hoStilities, was visihly ae-
c~entuated by the war boom in business
and industrial circles. A most note
worthy effect of the rapid growth of
population in the cities has been the
scarcity of dwelling houses in all the
large cities. Landlords in Toxic are
as g~rssping as in American cities, ac-
cording to the Japan Advertiser; and
the greedy manner they have been
treating their tenants is as heartless
as any cases in New York. In many
instances the rent has been doubled
during the last IL months and when
the landlords no longer find an excuse
to further raise the rent the property
il ostensibly sold to another party SO
that the rent may be raised in the
name Of the new owner. There have
been many individual cases Of litiga-
ton arising out of disputes between
landlords and tenants, but so far there
has not been any test case on an i'm
portant scale. 1t is now reported that
at Sumiyoshi, near Kobe, the owner
of so houses recently notified his ten
ants, including many lawyers, judges
and procurators, of an increase Of rents
BY 80 per cent with the alternative of
moving within five days if they did
not agree to the proposition. The at
titude of the house owner has greatly
incensed the tenants. who have agreed
among themselves to turn down the
proposition Of their landlord, and it is
likely that the matter will be fought
out in the law courts. In Toxic an
association has been formed by some
lawyers for the protection of the rights
OF tenants.

FRANKS Of K|DD|ES
ONLY SIGNS OF PEP
Germantown Mothers Are Told
Not to Curb the Inner Urge
to Do Something
HEAR TALK BY GLADYS G. lDE

When JOHNNY Swings hammer on
the family alarm clock or goes cxplor-
ing in the cellar for pirates;
When little Anna "swibcs" the 'nm
or cuts up good gown to make doll
dress or mixes salt in the sugar:
Do1't become alarmed. parents, and
fenr a terrible future for the wee dar =
lings. They are simply showing pep
defined as "the inner urge to do some
thing"
This assurance was given today to
the Mothers in Council. of German e
town. by Miss Gladys G. ldc, super
visor of spccia' education in this city.
Mss Ide gave her views Mt meeting in
the Germantown Y. w. T.. y.
OF ecu: Sc They're Naughty. But
OF course. the children who do al
sorts of unexpected and provoking
n ngs are naughty. Miss ldc told the
mothers. but the cause. that inner
urge" may some day carry them to
hc ghts of usefulness in the grown up
world.
Even IL school children have their
about history and botany and geography
around in circles, they are never going
to get anywhere unless they have pep
to vitalize them into a constructive life.
Brilliancy in school, Miss ldc de-
Clared, is too often confused with q
good memory and the ability to retain
facts until the examination Is passed.
Many factors are to be considered, but
the brilliant" pupils are not always
the best equipped mentally.
Compares Diffc. ent Sections
Miss lde interested her hearers by
giving the results Of Il recent test with
children Of foreign parentagc, living In
the downtown section, and children IN
Il West Philadelphia section which
boasts of limousincs and nurse maids.
The "cliffdwc lcrs,' as she termed
the West Phi adelphia young stcrS who
i've in apartments, were better in thei.
use of English than the other children.
but they were surpassed in singing and
uamCing.
The downtown children. all of first
grade age, showed remarkable knOwl =
edge of the coins used in everyday life.
The West Philadelphia boys and girls
knew few coins, whereas the otheIs 5
recognized every piece of money shown
to them and knew their comparative
values.
Miss Ide attributed this to the fact
that the downtown children often are
given Il coin and sent out to buy theil
own food. Pickles and other tasty but
unnouriShing food would be bought wit
the money. Tho result, Miss Idc stated
was that as o rue the children of for
cign parcntagP were two years behind
the others in weight and height.
The meeting today was in charge OF
Mrs. c. Reed Carey. president Of the
Mothers in Council.

CRlTICIZES COUNTY JAlLS
Public Charities officer Says Many
Brutallze Prisoners

The present county jail system in
Pennsylvania was condemned today by
Kenneth l.. NJ. Pray, secretary of the
Pub i" Charities Association Of Penn
Sylvania.
EstabliShpent Of industrial farms for
short term prisoners was recommended
rs one means of relief from the "bru-
"a iz,ng atmosphere" which, he de-
clared, is evident in many county jailS.
Men come out of county jails worse
mcnaCcs to the public than when they
started their sentences, because of this
brutalizing atmosphere and the "sus-
picion and tyranny" developed by the
guards of and over the men in their
charge.
These were emphatic points made
