A .sTlrcd Tenant"

Editor world. Now is the umc for all rent
hogs to come to the aid Of their pocketbooks'
Apropos of tho recent article pubUSh'u IN
vour papcr relative to the cNorbitaut increase In
rents applied To the tenants OF certain apart
mcnt houses and their Just protest. against
such proceedings. statistics speak n little louder
than words and tho following figures OF income
and expense pertaining to an apartment house
may throw some light on tho inordnate greed
Of property owners. These figures are not "S-
act To the cont, but they are approximately
correct. and are based on the rentals before the
increase was demanded.
The building contains 40 apartments, 20 one
room and kitchCucttc and 20 two-room ana
kitchcnctte. with baths Tho onc-room apart
mems bring a rental OF fll75 per month; tho
two room apartments Sl,f55 per month,
toth OF 81 $50 per month, or S3l,b6o per year
ono ianitor Is paid 5000 per year; the electric
nEht bin should not exceed $3.50 and the gas
bin S 200 per year. An allowance OF $1,000
pcr winter to heat tho building seems quite
ample. This gives us a total expense OF $4,000
per year. I haven't forgotten repairs but am
unable TO remember whether n is 30 cents or
a half dollar they have set aside for this OK
pcnse. Subtracting $4,000 from S3l,56O leaves
n tidy sum OF f27, 500 per year income. I am in
formed the building cost around $4,000 to
construct. and feel sure this is an eSaggera-
ton considering its flimsincss and cheap ma
tcrial However, being OF generous nature, we
allow si25,0oO 10 stand and lind that the income
Is only % per cent. IN bet he Is not paying 10

Some Methods by Which 1t Is Said

cessfully Wooed.

Sufferers from sleeplessness should
try this trick. Have pair of binders
made from a double thickness of black
silk. These should just cover the eyes,
with a cut for the nose, being held in
place by a broad elastic band. Hang
these on the bed post. and if the morn
ing light comes in too early put them
on. Another remedy/is suggested by
the sleeping methods of pigs. Tie two
paper clips to either end of a cord
seven or eight feet long. Clip the top
of the counterpane with one and
soft weight with the other. If not
sleeping after 70 minutes, pull the
counterpane over your head. This in
duces that long, even breathing, nat
ural to the approach of sleep, as may
be noticed in pigs. AS one dozes of,
the band holding the Counterpart re-
lakes, and the weight pulls it down,
SO that one is again breathing fresh
air. People suffering from insomnia
should. when travelling, nsst upon
loubie bed in a quiet room. Be sure
that it is not over the kitchen or near
motor garage, or facing a clock that
sounds the quarter hours, or within

MADE QUICK CHANGE OF MIND
School Principal Revised Her Opinion
as to the Necessity for I'M
mediate Action.

For several days the little field mice
had been coming from the fields into a
snall-town school building. The young
er teachers were frightened and sent
to the store for quantity of poison.
They were mixing it with bread crumbs
when the principal arrived. On her
question as to when they were going
to put out the paste they answered,
Immediately"
But you can't do that" she protest
ed. at would be in the way Wait
until tonight. One more day with mice
around you won't make any difference
in the long rum"
The teachers were uneasily silent.
And then came a frightened little
squeak and mouse ran right across
the room, close to the principals feet.
She gave decided shiver, an imita-
ton of dance of modern mention and
then turned to the janitor, who was
standing near. "John," she said, Sc
verely, well put out that rat poison
right away. Do you hear?"

We are told that all the foremost
designers, both in France and America,
are advocating, with one accord, sim
plicity in the construction of clothes.
Let us be duly and truly thankful, be-
cause the inevitable result will be bet
ter looking and more artistic garments.
There is something so satisfying about
simple dress, with no freakish points
in it's make up, and every little in
genious touch in it's construction be-
comes important and gratifying.
The two pretty afternoon frocks
shown in the picture above are exam
pies of simplicity that is ingenious as
well. Satin, which proves the most
reliable of all fabrics for dresses Of
this kind, reveals plain, straight

"SportS Toys is short caption for
long story since there are sports toys
of many kinds. The most fascinating
and interesting of these are the clothes
that have borrowed the character of
those garments made for real sports
wear but not intended for service, just
"fcr looks" The sweater coats and
varied scarfs made Of silk or wool in
many fanciful and fragile ways, the
delicate colored headwear and the very
handsome skirts of sports silks are all
examples of sports clothes made to be
admired for their beauty, not for the
usefulness to the sportswoInan. They
serve very useful purpose, however.
No matter how elegant and rich their
materials these clothes are informal
and very smart in character. They are
a part of the play-the sports clothes
of onlookers-in which they are well
enough dressed and not TOO much
dressed for whatever the day may
bring.
After the brilliant skirts of heavy,
rough silk weaveS the most interesting
members of the sports family are the
scarfs and sweaters that are refined
and glorified notifications of their
fOrerunners, the warm wooden scarf
and sweater. The new scarfs are in

long, pointed ends and the deep, far
ing cuffs that are faced with georgette
crepe in light color.
Satin and georgette are associated
in the dress at the right, the under
skirt being of satin and the bodice
and tunic of georgette. But the
tunic is bordered with a satin band
and row of small satin-covered but
tons appear at each side of this border.
The, shaped sleeves are long and ex-
tend over the band bit. The plated
frill that finishes the neck is of geo.
gette crepe also, but the plain girdle
is made of the satin.
The vogue for simplicity is particu-
larly favorable to afternoon frocks OF
velvet or velveteen. These are usually
one-piece frocks without tunics, but
the skirts are draped. There is lik-
Ing for three-quarter length sleeves in
velvet frocks and for brilliant vestees
and handsome lace collars and cuffs.
Nothing makes quite so good back
ground for good laces as these frocks
of velvet.

ASPIRIN INTRODUCED
