Congress Extends
Rent Control Law
In Capitol City
TRepubIican A. p. Leased WlreJ

WASHINGTON. May % Con-
gress raced yesterday with the land
lords of Washington and won by 4
hours and As minutes putting
through a two-year extension to the
rent control act, for the District OF
Columbia which would have expired
at midnight last night.
The house fought over 1t all day,
but the senate adopted it in less
time than was required by the house
for one of its numerous roll calls.
Just as soon as it could be signed by
the vice president and Acting Speak
er Walsh, 1t was sent to the White
House where it was signed by Presi-
dent Harding.
There were statements by many
members that unless congress acted
today rents everywhere in town
would be boosted tomorrow--a charge
which real estate dealers denied.
The main objection to the bill was
on the ground that some tenants
paid more than others in the same
apartment houses and that all of the
control benefit was received by pres
ent occupants, while those seeking
apartments had to pay what was
asked.

Rra1eu Daa7u Poem
THE FLAPPER
BY ssRToN BRALEY

BY BERToN BRALEY
She isn't afraid of the old Taboos,
OF dead conventions and ancient views
She faces the world with a perky grin
And a confident tilt to her dimpled chin;
And the old heads wag and the old tongues clatte7'
But she doesn't care for the stuff they chatter
She knows her actions are being flayed
But not for minute is she afraid
She isn't afraid of the shapes of wrath
The frowning idols that line her path
Her eyes are open, and though she makes
Mistakes enough-they her mistakes
And not the blunders of colder heads"
Filled full of cautions and doubts and breads;
Not always wisely her game is played
But never moment is she afraid!
She shocks the elders with joyous verve
Until they quiver in every nerve,
But altogether think the kid
Will do s well her parents did
Better perhaps for we must confess
Her elders bungled things, more or less
Under the bAnners of youth arrayed
She faces universe~-unafrad

THE CALL OF THE COUNTRY
HOME

About this time of the year pre-
pare to suffer from severe attacks
of Suburbanitis. You should feel one
coming on just about now, if you
haven't had 1t already. The first
symptom is a craving for a. veranda
commanding fine view of large
lawn, well studded with shade trees
and bushes with pink or yellow flow
ers on 'enn.
Arizona republican., 1922-05-24

At this stage 1t is unimportant
whether any house is attached to the
yeranda or rot The house is the mi
nor detail. It's the big open veranda
that COUNT. And the lawn. And the
trees. And the bushes with the pink
and yellow blossoms. A good live
real estate man can sell you We
randa in an open lot at this point
of your susceptibility.
Some of them have ceased bother
ing with houses at all. They are hav-
ing verandas made up by the gross.
These they place in the open country
when gentle spring comes. Then they
set out the necessary trees and
shrubs and the pink and yellow blos-
sons The next and most important
step is to see that six or eight robins,
bluebirds o. deep throated cuckoos
hop about the lawn or fit from tree
to tree, piping spring songs whenever
a prospective customer Is being
shown around the works.
Most suburban real estate pen
carry a fine inc of trained birds
for this important duty. 1t Is indeed
remarkable how these birds will sing,
not so much when the sap comes
out of the tree as when the Sapps
come out from the city.
There is nothing that makes a city
dweller so convinced he should in
vest in country home as one or
more subsidized birds singing on his
prospective property.
Every good real estate man knows
that the minute he gets the birds
singing he al but has the city dwell
er's signature on the dotted line.
Little does the buyer suspect the
birds will quit the place when the
deeds are signed.
After that the buyer will find them
down at the bank singing for the fell
low who holds the mortgages.
Robins and blue birds are best.
Cuckoos a @ not so good. 1t is hard
to tell them from some of the GUS
toners.
OF course, after a man has bought
veranda he and the family pile
onto it and have a lovely first day.
Up to the time some member sug-
gests going into the house. Then 1t is
discovered there is no house. But
one should not be discouraged. 1t is
very easy to get house these days.
Any number of reliable firms Will
mail you one
Just send them your size and they
will rush you a perfect fit. The per-
feet fit may not be absolutely count
ed upon. The house may not come
all at on,e. 1t probably will come in
sections Like a jigsaw juzzle. Di-
rectons how to assemble 1t may be
obtained rom any puzzle man.
If you do not wish to trust home
to the mails u is best to go in for
the cement and stucco type. You buy
a mould and pour" yourself Cali
fornia bungalow. Often you will have
enough lett over to pour garage and
hen house often you will not!
