LOCAL FEDERATION
of WOMEN DEMAND
BIG UNIT SCHOOLS
Move to Replace Anticipated
Buildings" Advocated at
Annual Meeting.

Large unit" school buildings for
Washington to replace the present
antiquated ''neighborhood school
house." was advocated by the District
Federation OF Women's Clubs, at their
annual meeting this afternoon, as one
of the principal things they will work
for in their new program for civic
betterment for Washington.
1.-THE type OF school building in
Washington must be modernizcd.' de-
clared Mrs. ]. w. Trizzell the newly
elected president, at the meeting at
her residence. 1923 Thirteenth street
northwest. THE large unit building
in grade schools should be con-
structed."
Presidents and other officers of
the thirty-one local clubs affiliated
with the federation attended the
meeting, and the work for the COM
ing year was divided. The mem
bership of the District federation
numbers 5000.
Among the things which the fed
GRAFTON went on record as standing
for were: A cleaner Washington,
better schools. improved traffic con-
ditions. and school Fairgrounds, dis
tinctive from the Municipal play
grounds. The Curtis educational
program for Washington was en-
dorsed.
Concentration of education into
large buildings will be both more
econ omicai and advantageous to the
Government and the children, Mrs.
Frizzel pointed out .....
1t will eliminate many OF the
school problems such as the perpet-
ual teacher shortage and lack OF
space. Tine large unit building. II
was said. will be the introduction
OF the high school system into the
grade schools yhere the pupils come
to the teacher who specializes in q
study.
The present school houses. Mrs
rizzel, termed "neighborhood school
houses" and sid they had no place
in the modern educational system.
The hope was expressed that the
proposed 100000 school program
would be expended In constructing the
large unit building instead Of the
small school house.

RENT ACT IS LIT FLED
Local Builder Tells Senators
Tenants Would Be Thrown Out
II Law Is NuiIified.

Evidence that Washington busi-
ness men are banding together TO
fight the extension of the Ball rent
act for a two-year period was placed
before the Senate District Commit
tee today by A. Leftwich Sinclair,
chairman of the rent commission.
Mr.. Sinclair read letter written
by James l.. Ksrrick, president OF
the Fidelity Storage Company and
owner of the Monmouth apartment
house. to a large number OF local
business men, requesting them 10
see Senator's and Congressman in
Opposition to the extension of the
Ball act.
1t was pointed out that Mr.. Karrick
was an interested party, inasmuch as
the Rent Commission had reduced his
monthly rent roll $500 in the Mon
mouth Hotel case. and had awarded
damages to various tenants for his
alleged failure to provide adequate
service.
"Mr. Karrick Is conducting a cam
paign to get all our business men ia
fight the Ball act" said Mr.. Sinclair
who then read a letter, written by
Henry Il. Davis. a local builder.
Mr.. Davis frankly said that he was
in favor of the extension of the act
because there was certain landlords
here "heartless enough" to throw al
tenants out on the street, who re.
fused 10 pay large increases ia rent
the moment the act expires.

ther than this" said Mr.. Davis. "anc
many Of them would probably throw
tenants out who had appealed to The
rent commission.
On behalf Of the local real estate
dealers association, f. A. Krauthos,
made a formal denial that there was
any monopoly for restraint OF trade
among local real estate dealers. He
also made a formal denial that there
was any blacklist" kept OF tenants
who had appealed to the rent com
mission.
WANTS EVICTION AMENDMENT.
David Bowen suggested an amend
ment to the act which would permit
the landlords to evict an undesirable
tenant provided the rent was not in
creased to the new tenant. Senator
Ball said that he also was looking
for some way in which an undesir-
able tenant could be evicted by q
landlord without the necessity of
making formal court charges against
the tenant.

The action of the call money market in

The stock market was late getting
started-a fire in the Stock Exchange

o'clock-but the last hour marked it
as one of the most constructive sessions
of the summer. The action of railroad
stocks suggested that the short interest
had considerable competition from buy
ers for the long account when 1t came
to picking up Northern Pacific, Great
Northern preferred. Union Pacific and
a half dozen others. The same strength
OF steel shares which made a feature

and Mexican Petroleum, with gain OF
3 points. led late rally OF the oil share
group. Nothing new In Wall Street
comment accounted for the vigor of the
upturn. For the last fortnight the state
OF the trading mind has been more In
clined than before to take account of
favorable factors in business and trans
portation.
