Colby said that he feared that "the

Mr.. Colby addressed his statement

said. Indeed. it is complete inver-
sion of the truth.
His further objection to the sub

armed force for the moral force
which is relied upon in the other pro-
visions of the covenant. indicates a
complete insensibility to the instruc-

CLOCK WORKERS
GIVE UP SCHOOL
JOB AS HOPELESS

Clock mechanics who have tam
pered with some of the worn-out
public school timepieces yesterday
threw down their tools, convinced
that nothing short of dynamite
would force them to again swing a
pendulum. School officials. con-
seQuently, were in a dilemma. No
funds are available to buy modern
clocks, and the teachers and chill
dren need the timepieces to regu-
late their lunch and recess periods
Acting upon the theory that
trial can only prove a failure. they
assigned the task of restoring the
broken clocks to working order to
Jim" Reilly. the school cabinet
maker.
If Reilly has ever had any ex-
perience with the intricate works
of clocks. school officials did not
know it, but decided that he could
do no worse than the clock me-
chanics. In fact. it is believed in
school circles that Reilly's knowl-
edge of cabinetmaking may prove
fruitful in the clock repairing line.
If Reilly fails. the school plumber
VIII be given the job.

"TEETH" AND RENT LAWS.
Housing Situation Same in Other

Housing Situation Same in Other
Cities, Says E. L. Kellogg.
To the Editor of The Star:
In recent issues of The Star there
have been articles regarding the rent
situation in Washington, which is. as
every one realizes, acute, but possibly
not more so than in some other cities.
For instance. if the price of a i've
room furnished apartment RANGED
from 1900 a month in good locations
to $1,000 year, as it does in New
York city. there would be a worse cond;.
ton than now exists.
In the articles referred to much
stress was laid upon the hope that RI
Ball law might become effective unon
the reconvening of Congress. But in
t .nese alguments the fact seems to have
been overlooked that the Ball reso-
luton as it now stands is more or
less responsi Bile for the lack Of house
to be had for rent. To cite one she.
cific case will make the point suffi-
clenty clear. The writer has in mind

Of it's minutest detail, those who
