BALL STILL FIGHTS
TOEXTEND HIS ACT
Senator Will Ask to Make
Rent Measure Special
Order of Business.

Senator Ball, chairman of the District
committee, will make another effort at
the first opportunity next week to have
the bill extending the life of the District
rent act to May %, 1922, disposed of by
the Senate. He said today that he would
ask to make the bill a special order for
business for a given day.
Yesterday the bill was debated for
about half an hour in the Senate and an
amendment was adopted to clarity the
meaning. so that there would be no
doubt but that apartment houses and
hotels, used for living purposes. would
be covered by the rent act as continued

way to the anti-beer bill. the unfinished
business of the Senate, at 2 o'clock.
The Senate having taken recess yes
terday until Monday at noon, instead OF
having adjourned. there will be no op-
portunity for consideration of the rent
bill on Monday, in all probability. Sena-
tor Ball said. But he will seize the first
opportunity that presents itself to bring
the measure to the attention Of the Sen
ate again.
1t is not believed that filibuster will
be attempted against this measure. In
fact. senators who are opposed to the
legislation have, nevertheless, indicated
they win not seek to prolong debate
on it.

new curves is showing, the sky's
like hammered gold; but some

complain of cold. Somewhere
the clouds are dishing all kinds
of snow and sleet, somewhere
the boys are wishing, while
thawing out their feet, for
weather fit for fishing, a sport
that can't be beat. The wealth

hands out a lawful of language,
hit or miss, and says he has his
craw full of climate such as this.
But somewhere men are freez-
ing amid the frost and snow,
through artic nights they're
sneezing and colder still they
grow and there's no way of
easing the agonies they know.
Upon the map I'm tracing the
lands with artic goods, where
farpished wolves are racing in
lonely neighborhoods and polar
bears are chasing the voters
through the woods. The heat,
in language spiteful, we roast
ill we're disgraced, but III those
regions frightful where snow
drifts go to waste, they'd think
it most delightful if they could
have taste. Somewhere men
dress in leather, to shield them
from the blast and have chill
blains together, in wildernesses
vast; SO let us prize this
weather, which is too good to
