"Straiuht" Talk Best.

WheA your words count YOU don't

this is as it should be Every man

Warned by Sandpaper Label.

A device for protecting people from
taking doses from poison bottles by
mistake is a sandpaper label The
ordinary label is pasted on piece of
sandpaper large enough to go all
round the bottle, so that when anyone
takes up the bottle In the night. no
matter how dazed from sleep he may
be, the rough unfamiliar feel of the
sandpaper rouses him and he recog-
niZes at once that the bottle contains
poison of some description. The
printed label tells the kind of poison

Leonard NJ Walsteln counsel to the
Citizens Union, which Mayor Hylan does
not like demanded yesterday that tho
Mayor direct heads Of city departments
within his own control to withdraw all
requests for salary increases in the bud
get for 1921.
Mayor Hylan," said Mr. Wallstein,
"is himself responsible for n large part
OF the wild scramble for unlimited ap-
propriations' which he denounced n few
days ago. Only last month the salaries
OF nearly all city employees were in
creased from 20 to 20 per cent The
higher BalarEs were increased by u
maximum OF $500 The Citizens Union
approved that increase. The cost was
more than 100000 for the last four
months OF this year and will bo $751;
100000 for next year"
Mr.. Wallstein pointed out that the
new increases for salaries requested for
employees OF the police, fire, tax and

OF the bills Gov. Smith signed Monday
Mr.. Hrly assured these tenants that they
cannot be eyicted except In three olrcum-
stances
"The only case In which n dspoaseaa
Ia permitted" Mr. IIllly said, "is where
the landlord, in good faith, desires tho
apartment for his own uae whore a

Tor now structures have been filed and
proved or where the tenant has been
guilty Of Objectionable conduct, In all
these instances the burden OF proof rests
upon the landlord, and he must establish
these contentious TO the satisfaction or
tho court, All tenants who now have
homes have no need for further worry II
they are willing 10 pay fair and reason
able amount as decreed by the court,
these laws relieve the tension and
protect the health OF tho community, and
an they go into operation their benencent
effects will be moro and more appre-
ciated
"There In but one regret, however, that
the Legislature made no provision for tho
permanent relief OF the Distressing sltua-
tIon Of our city, The programme that
could have given relief was presented by
the Mayor, but petty politics prevented
its enactment into law"
Mr.. Hllly added that the laws had pre-
vented the greatest rent crisis New YORK
had ever had The only question TO be
settled between landlord and tenant now
In one Of fair and reasonable rent, The
committee will be glad TO continue TO set
tie rent disputes out Of court, and thus
