and lying on what may prove his
,deathbed. John Robert Taylor, En-
glishman, G. A. r. veteran, who for
years believed himself to be an
American because of his service in the
Union Army. was given his final citi-
zenship by Judge James G. Quinn,
who transferred his court to the aged
mans home in order to fulfill his
great ambition.
Oakland members of the G. A. X.

American Army. During the war he
contracted the disease which left him
paralyzed. Because of his frequent
absences from this country and tn.

ficient length of residence he had
never voted. Only recently did he
discover that he was not an Ameri-

medical minds are mystified In their
efforts TO diagnose the strange illness
which has taken the power OF move

lips and sight from the eyes OF
sprightly and exuberant Joan Lip

famed for her beauty and high spirits,
has lain in a state of lethargy.
brought on by the battling disease.
Joan had come back from camp
ing in the Adirondacks." her mother
relates. "She was In perfect health.
Her only ailment was pair OF
slightly bruised knees. which were
almost healed.
she was stricken. On the way to
the dinner that evening she gasped:
Mama! Mama! oh, look! My
eyes are crossed
II looked and found that her left
lid had fallen and was red. Then
she walled, softly, fearsomely:
I'LL can't see thing"
"And she tried to raise her hands
but they were powerless. There was
silence. We looked at each other
dismayed. Then recovering, and sum-
moning her deepest courage. she said
brightly:
"I do believe i have stroke.
Don't worry. please. I'll be all right
soon
But she hasn't moved since, hasn't
uttered a syllable since, has been
deaf to all things since that horrible
moment"
The physicians for a time charac-
terized the illness as sleeping sick
ness, but this diagnosis does not ap-
pear correct. Several have attributed
the disease as a germ.
The young woman is conscious only
at rare intervals. She has lost even
the power of complaining of pain.
Watchers by the bedside are unable
to ascertain whether she is suffering.

D. S. WILL AID +.
IN RENT FIGHT.
Department Of Justice to Test
Ball Act as "Friend OF
the Court"

The tangled rent and housing situa-
tion In this city took a new turn THIS
morning when II was learned that the
Department OF Justice would again
step into the controversy TO test the
validity OF the Ball act and that as
room as Congress eonyencs the en-
Iforcement OF the rent laws viii be-
tome a major issue in both houses.
Department of Justice officials have
|been awaiting an opportunity, IL was
declared today, to connect them
selves with the present dispute over
the power of the District rent com
mission. Such an opportunity, II was
said, will be offered In the case or
tenants OF the Fontanet Courts, Four
tsenth and Fairmont streets north
west, who are fighting eviction from
their apartments which they have
sold under the cooperative buying
plan. The tenants let IL be known
at the rent commission offices this
|orning that they will carry their case
to-<he highest court, IL necessary.
In this event, the Department OF
Justice would Immediately ask to be
heard as a friend OF the court. The
Department has no authority to press
private litigation. but 1t is within
it's scope to step into proceeding
when II is q test of the consutu-
tionality OF the laws involved.
That justice officials believe that
the Ball rent act is constitutional
was shown in the argument OF the
Hirsch-Block case in Municipal
court. and the department will again
= AXE a firm stand on its position at
pc first opportunity.
At least a dozen Congressman have
Visited the offices of the rent COM
mission within the past week - col
lect data on tn proceedings before
the commission and study the effect
of it's determinations.
f. A majority OF these Congressman
happen to be tenants in apartments
in which landlords are evading the
findings Of the commission. Such Con
gressmen have expressed the inten-
tion to amend the Ball act immediate
ly IL necessary to more clearly edfne
it's powers and to make its enforce
ment possible.
With the rent commission, Congress
and the Department of Justice on one
side and evading landlords and the
District courts on the other. warm
fight over the Ball act is forecast be-
fore the end Of this year.

Easy Going Country With No H.C.L.
Problem Attracting Indians

NEW YORK. Oct 4.-The immigra-
tion problem Of the United States has
a parallel in Burma, says DR.. A. H.
Henderson, Of the American Baptist
Foreign Mission Society. in a report
to headquarters of that society here. D.
Burma is between two teeming
hungry nations, India and China, and
as travel increases there must come
economic pressure from such 4 situa-
tion," Henderson said.
Burma has under cultivation TO-
100000 acres, producing 1e,ooO.oOo
tons of rice annually, and this inn
mense field is held mostly by individ-
uals in small plots. From this crop
alone Burma produces one and one
third tons of food for every one of
its 100000 inhabitants. ...
'"The fertility of the land is so
great that the tendency is to make the
Inhabitants easy-going and improvi-
dent. In the district of Tavoy, except
Just around the cities, instead of
ploughing their fields, the people save
themselves trouble by driving their
buffaloes round and round on the land
to cut II up with their hoofs. In the
highland rice fields ground Is pre-
pared by cutting down the jungle and
burning it, after which the seed is

with the millions of people in
India and China who never know
what 1t Is to have enough to eat, the
very living conditions have taught
the peoples that life means energy,
push and work. And these peoples
are coming more and more into Bur-
ma, bringing a competitive spirit that
makes the awakening of the people of
Burma an urgent necessity
Both the government and mission
aries are working to interest the
Burmese in better agricultural meth

never had heard much of him. There
was, naturally, curiosity to see him

In the Hobbies of the Bristol Hotel

whispered that the new Prime Minis
ter would take his midday meal in
that hostelry. We watched for his ar
rival. And in he stalked shortly after
noon-every inch a peasant-wearing
his peasant high boots and his full
peasant costume. No high hat for
him. No frock coat and striped trou-
sers. No silver-headed cane. AS he
walked the lanes near his peasant
farm and mingled with his peasant
neighbors, so he walked the streets

He was the living embodiment Of

Gated man, polished, erudite in the

subject of the ill-fated Hapsburgs,
under Austrian rule.
The two are from political groups
diametrically opposed in doctrine
