affirmed and set forth by the red
headed press agent of the Masonic
carnival being conducted this week
and next at the new temple at Colo
RADIO and Georgia avenues.
The said press agent-happening
TO be a woman and unmarried, anu
happening also to know more about
politics nd current events generally
than about mixing ingredients for
baking and boiling--has "a perfectly
good hamper of groceries that she
doesn't know what to do with.
The hamper, containing every
thing from beets- to yeast cake. was
won as q prize at the carnival last
night. And the press agent begs
the indulgence of the dear public
for instruction as to whether beets
should be boiled or baked. with the
jackets or without, and whether a
yeast cake really is no good after
it's twenty-four hours old.
Tonight is .grotto night at the
carnival, and Henry c. Stein, who,
with H. S. Omohundro, is in charge,
says it is expected to bring out the
biggest crowd to date. The Boy
Scout Band gave concert last
night.

Money is not likely to be offered
by investors unless they can be shown
that a really serious situation exists
in the city. And the only way In
which the wants Of the people can be
obtained in the matter of rental prop
erty is from the people themselves.

KAHN TO WAR
ONH|GH RENTS
Californian viii Introduce Bill to
Transfer Congress to An
other City.

When Congress convenes In De-
Icember, a resolution will be intro
duced TO adjourn and sit in Bslti-
more or some other city, to escape
excessive rents In Washington, Con-
gressman Julius Kahn OF California
declared this morning In a state
ment scoring profiteers in this city.
RENTS PINCH MEMBERS.
High rentals are beginning to pipch
Congressman. as they return to
/ Washington from summer vacations
The first thing which greets them
is a notice in their mail box that
the rent for their apartment or house
has been Increased s25. $50 or even
SIS a month for the next year.
Kahn, one of the Congressional
vanguard had this experience. and
he lost no time in publicly voicing
his views about the housing situation
in Washington.
He emphasized the fact that Con-
! gress has sole Jurisdiction over the
District Of Columbia. Furthermore,
Congress passed the Ball act, which
was intended to prevent Just such
profiteering. His views are fully
shared by other Congressman, and
speedy action Is expected In both
houses to remedy present conditions
when Congress convenes.
KAHN HAS INFLUENCE.
Kahn is one Of the most influential
/ Republican leaders in the House, and
1 is chairman of the military AFFAIRS
/ committee. Whatever move he might
start against rent pEofiteering would
therefore be regarded as carrying
weight.
1.-THE rentn situation here has
reached q point where we simply
Ecannnot stand it," said Congressman
VKahn.
when Congress convenes, 1 am in
favor of adjourning to sit in Balti-
more or some other nearby city, where
we would be out of the clutches Of
trent prohteers. We should remain
away until the profiteering ceases.
Congress has moved before in an
emergency" .I.r,
Congressman Kahn declared that
he and his fellow members receive
only $500 q year and therefore we
Ncan pay just SO much rent and no
more"

VICTIMS BLAMED
FOR D. c. THEFTS
Many Petty Robberies, Police
Say, Due to CareIessness
of Public. -

Petty robberies have become nu-
merous in Washington in the last few
days. Many of them, according to
the police, have been due to lack OF
precaution on the part of household
ers and proprietors of business estab-
ments. In most instances the
thieves have experienced little diff
Guilty in gaining entrance because of
unlocked windows, unsecured gratings
in pavements. open trapsoms and un'
bolted doors.
= Among the victims also, are auto
lists who leave personal effects in their
automobiles while they attend a so
Gal or business engagement Lack
of vigilance on the part of drivers
in charge Of vehicles loaded with val
liable goods also Is cited by the po-
lice.
Not only have money, jeyeiry and
clothing been included I'm loot re-
Gently, but also live stock. Reports
to the police in the last few days
show that chickens and hogs have
been taken, and In one instance a
bulldog was lured from his master's
home.
Citizens are warned by the police to
be sure that their homes and places
of business are properly secured be-
fore retiring. %
