VOTE BY MAIL
CHANGES
MMH uMw
D. c. Postmaster Would Lift
Burden From MaiImen by
Law Revision.

In an effort to secure amendment
Of the Virginia law covering voting
by mail, which requires the filing
OF papers with the postmaster or his
assistant, Postmaster William NJ.
Mooney. of Washington, today ap-
pealed to the Secretary of State Of
Virginia
Mooney asked that the law be
changed to permit the filing Of
papers with notaries public or other
officials who are empowered to ad-
minister oaths, thus taking some of
the burden off the postmasters.
The Virginia ballot alone, it was
pointed out. will impose a heavy
burden on the Washington postmas-
ter and his assistant, William Hay
cock. Unless some relief is secured
before the coming Presidential cleo
tons 1t is feared that the handling
of papers by these two officials may
become too large a proposition to
handle.
Only one other State, Minnesota,
has a requirement similar to that
of Virginia, but the number of Min
nesota voters in Washington Is so
small that they can be readily &C.
commodated.
The primaries now under way In
Virginia are bringing many voters
to the city postoffice. The vote-by.
mail system. which is now per
rnitted by many States, is rapidly
growing in popularity and the ac-
ton Of Postmaster Mooney is ex-
pected to receive the whoIehea ri ed
support of postal officials through.
out the country.

properties was given the District
Rent Commission today. in a com.
plant filed by James Montgomery,
tenant of a store and dwelling at
2210 Fourteenth street northwest.
According to the occupants plea,
the owner of the property has IN.
creased the rent from $50 to 1888
since pre-war days, and is now
demanding a new rental of $3.50 ii
month.
Montgomery said he had, at vari-

$50, $50, SIS and the present figure,
but considered the new increase
exorbitant.
Montgomery subjects the second
floor flat over the store to J. Wat

Montgomery uses the store.
According to Rent Commission
officials, this case is characteristic
of many being received daily, in
which owners are said to have
asked new rentals far in excess of
the amounts now being paid.

A SAD RECOLLECTION.

Sweetheart, can you remember
The boat ride we once had,
When you were fair and sweet sixteen,
And ] was just a lad?
The waters shOne like silver
Beneath gorgeous moon,
And romance was Astounding
On that wOndrous night in June.
Sweetheart, can you remember
When we pulled away from shore,
You crOoned little love song.
As 1 piled my sturdy oar?
Then i sat in encha ntment,
And Razed at your fair face,
i sat there dreaming, drifting
AS my heart increased it's pace.
Sweetheart, can you remember
The scene that followed then,
The pretty little craft capsized
And we both tumbled in?
And, say, have you forgotten,
When we landed on the shore,
That just because your dress was ruined,
You cared for me no mOre?-
Well I haven't!
