October / is the date set for q
eity-wide increase of rents in
apartment houses and dwellings
throughout Washington, according
to scores of tenants who thronged
into the offices of the District
Rent Commission today.
In view of the great number OF
complaints, the rent board plans

critics where rent raises have been
ordered.
Tenants Are Notified.
In at least three apartment
houses the tenants have been noti-
fled that their new leases will con.
tain clauses providing for increases
ranging from $40 to SIS a month,
A was learned. These are the
Wyoming, the Farragut and the
Rochambeau Apartments.
During the last two weeks m
August the commission has been
besieged by worried occupants Of
rented houses and apartments, but
the number who approached the
rent Judges for said today points to

tory,
With industrial conditions presags
ing a difficult winter, officials OF the
commission said today they were de-
termined that as little hardship as
possible would be worked on Wash
ington tenants, at the same time
treating the landlords with fairness
and impartiality.
The fact that October I Is given
by the great majority OF tenants as
the date upon which the proposed
increases become effective is re-
Rarded curiously by rent officials.
A concerted move to boost rents
here in View of the predicted hard
winter Is suspected, but no definite
information on this score can be OBJ
tained.
Higher prices for fuel will be seri'
ously considered by the commission,
Il was stated today, when many Of
the cases now on file and to be filed
are called for hearing. This feature,
II is expected, will affect the com
missions rulings to a large degree.
Because of this, the ~Rent Board

MIR OWL DRIVEN AWAY

MIR. OWL made his home in the
hollow of tree in the orchard.
He did this for one reason-because it
was near the field where there were
plenty of mice, and then he liked the
location; there were plenty of small
birds around.
But the orchard birds did not care
for Mr.. Owl as a neighbor, and 50
when they found he had really set
tied there and intended to stay they
called meeting in nearby tree to
talk 1t over and see if they could not
In some way get rid of him.
Plenty of ways were suggested but
not one of the birds wanted to be the
one to tell him to move.

said Mr.. Sparrow, whose family had
suffered from the bad manners of Mr.,
Owl.
Il would gladly tell him." said Mr..
Blue Jay, "if could meet him in the

after dark"

BELLE

ELLIE is one of the many feminine
= names which began existence as
contraction and gained sturdy indie
pendence until it became recognized
appellative and is bestowed without
reference to it's prefix.
Since Belle signifies "oath of Baal,"
it is easily discernible that 1t is an
offspring of Isabelle. In the days
when Elizabeth of Hainault married
Philippe Auguste and suffered her
name to be changed to Isabelle by the
French, 1t is hardly likely that Belle
was used, either as an endearment or
a diminutive. But Isabelle became
very popular in royal circles and the
betrothed of Hughes de Lusignan, who
later married King John, brought Isa-
belle to England.
1t was there that Belle came into
existence and into consequent vogue.
OF all the contractions of Isabelle
of which Nib, Ibbot and Ib are few
examples-Belle proved the most pop
ular and lasting.

try and is bestowed without reference

Every one listened, forit was known
to all the birds that Mr.. Catbird was
given wide berth by Mr.. Kingbird
whenever he met him, and also that,
though he did wish to be called their
protector, he was really very unkind
to the small birds, even while he did
attack Mr.. Crow and Mr.. Hawk in the
most fearless manner.

Everybody began to chatter at once,
for they all were afraid of Jennie's
sharp tongue, when suddenly Jennie's
quick eyes saw something moving in
the tree where Mr. Owl lived. "Look !"
she said, "there he is!'
Mr.. Owl sat on a limb near the hol-
low in the tree looking very stupid.
"He can't see in the daytime" cried
Jennie. Come, let us drive him into
his nest"
All the others followed Jennie, who
was scolding as loudly and fast as she
could, and around Mr.. Owl they
swarmed, chattering and screaming.
Poor Mr.. Owl loved sill ence and this
terrible din nearly drove him out of
his wits He turned his head and with
clumsy motion managed to get into
his hole while the birds screamed
louder than ever before over their vic
tory.
That night when he came out of his

THE FRIENDLY PATH
BY WALTER !. ROBINSON

&C OMEONE must do it,
~ This is a good thought
to remember when one finds him.
self burdened with public service
or other work for the benefit or
happiness of his fellows. Though
it may be exceedingly discomfort
ing to realize that one is sacri-
ficing considerable through de-
voting much of his time to civic
or philanthropic service which
he should devote to his own bust
ness or profession, he should rec :
ognize that there is likely to
come to him the pleasure of
great satisfaction in the amount
of good he does.
This is the position assumed
by one of the most public spir-
tied men we have ever known.
Year in and year out for a
quarter of century this man
has given large proportion of
his time to the work of formulat-
ing plans for a great park sys-
TEN, and in order to make big
city more desirable place
in which to live Not being
wealthy, the man is virtually de-
pendent on the income from his
profession.
Only recently it was our priv
ilege to notify him that he had
Just had a new job added to his
many tasks by being appointed
a member of an important COM
mittee. He smiled one of his de-
lightfuI smiles which told of the
big heart within his breast and
declared:
That's fine. But, by Jove,
don't you know shouldn't mind
if I'd get an appointment now
and then which would mean a
few five spots. Yet someone
must do it or these essential i'm
provements won't be done, so /
might as well add little more
to my pack. Anyway no money
could compensate for the happi-
ness which 1 experience when
/ realize that I've helped even
little to make the city better
place in which to live"
Let us keep this sentiment
fresh in our memories when the
call comes to neglect our own
affairs for the public good. If
we do, well not only be better
able to do real service, but our
pleasure will exceed our regrets.
