Anew movement to save Edgar

Loeb and Leopold cases and the
fight in Chicago to save two other
youths from the gallows spurred

D. c. HOME
SITUATION
SERIOUS
Conditions Here Nearly as
Bad as in Wartime-Worse
Than Most Cities

Housing conditions in Washing
ton are still very bad, according
to members of the Rent Commits
sion, in spite of the fact that
rents have dropped somewhat
since the war. While there are
plenty of expensive apartments
and large homes, cheap living
quarters are hard to find.
About a year ago, rooms in
small apartments cost about $40
apiece, while they now average
about $33, but the supply of
cheaper apartments is still as
scarce, if not more so, as during
the war, it is said.
Small Houses Scarce.
1t is almost impossible to find
small houses with cheap rentals. &C.
cording to members of the commits
sion, and the condition in this re-
spect is worse than during the war.
The fact that so any of Wash.
ington's residents are Government
employees living on small salaries,
makes the demand for small houses
unusually great. and the demand has
not been met by construction.
The most deplorable situation re-
suits, according to Mrs. Clara Sears
Taylor, a member Of the Rent Com
mission, from the fact that the
rental price per square foot, of
living quarters in Washington is
so high that whole families are
often compelled to live in quarters
suitable for one person.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1924-09-17

ter, efforts should be, made to find
out the cause and the persons le-
sponsible therefor. so that the con.
dition may be remedied.
THE commanding officers will
bring this matter to the attention
or the men at roll calls and will
make frequent inspections of their
precinct with view of seeing that
the directions herein are strictly
complied with"

In the forum Of debate.

The other answered somewhat vexed:
Gentlemen should never mix

Neither should they violate
The noble ethics of debate.
I've known them call each other out
For less than that and so the route.
It ls an insult to this grand
And glorious old kentucky land.

You cannot quote me the LORDS

And here's the little prayer he made:

Baltimore, Md.

BALTIMORE. Sept. 17.-Rents
here have remained practically sta
tionery since the high mark in real
estate values was reached a year
ago.
The demand for apartments has
been especially heavy often result
ing in a flat bringing in more
revenue than a whole house. Many
cases have been cited where the
lessor Of a house has converted a
floor into an apartment and derived
more than enough income to pay
the rent.
New York City.
NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Rents in
New York are maintaining an even
level with little chance that they
will materially decrease, according
to a survey of the real estate and
renting agencies made BY Interna-
tional News Service today.
Most of the real estate firms do.
ing a general leasing business ex.
pressed the view that rents would
stay at their present level parttcu-
iarly in apartments OF seven rooms
or more, throughout the city, al
though slight chances that smaller
apartments might decrease to some
extent.
There is the normal supply Of
large apartments Of seven rooms or
more, and 1t Is expected they will
be taken up early" Pease & Eli
man, one of the largest operators,
reported. Apartments under five
rooms are more numerous, and it ap-
pears that there will be enough to
meet the demand when the leasing

Rents are holding steady. MI.

were caused by competition of new.

veniences. The demand, despite

CHICAGO, Sept. 17.zCheaper
rents, for the first time since the
postwar housing shortage drove
them skyward, were in prospect for
residents Of Chicago with the an.
proach of the semi-annual renting
season, October 1, according to re.
ports compiled by the city council

to the record amount of building.

reduced, various concessions are of.

rent, such as a month or two

THE KALEIDOSCOPE
By I. c. McCUMBER

As the regular correspondent Of q
great metropolitan daily paper would
say it, we are going to give you a
few paragraphs OF fright of the bat. "
We sent an article to the editor of a
farm journal, in which we noted that
English walnuts were being grown
within six miles of Lake Ontario in
New York state. The editor said it
was a canard (lie). Fortunately we
had photograph and the name of
the owners. Later we sold the item
to another farm paper editor who
knew that if England can grow Eng
lish walnuts in the climate it has,
most parts of the United States can
do likewise.
For several winters the writer has
made it his business to feed birds
upon the advent of cold weather. One
winter, being somewhat milder than
another, we had several migratory
birds remain the whole winter. A
church bulletin printed about three
hundred words about the extraordi-
nary proceedings, and complimented
the writer. Now a minister, very
learned one in Philadelphia, informs
us that it cannot be done; that that
is not the habit Of birds. Well, we
have been with the birds for almost
half century and know it has been
done. So do the church people who
noted it in their church bulletin.
Some wisdom on the part of way-up
church editor!
Millions of people in the United
States have gazed askance at the reve-
lations coming from the Walsh COM
mittee at Washington. They imagined
that some of their property had been
jeopardized and that the investigation
would have a tendency to put an end
to it. Now along comes another

bors the wise minister, who is circu-

|DAUCHERTY OUT.
WORK REMAINS

Washington. Attorney General
Daugherty has resigned at the re-
quest Of the president, and the man
who established new record with
the labor injunction passes into pri-
vate life. His injunction, however,
remains precedent, for which priv
ilege will ever be grateful.
In complying with the presidents
request, the attorney general bitterly
declared that the war profiteers and
railroad shop men are opposing him.
He failed, however, to list the war
profiteers whom he has jailed or
forced to disgorge unlawful gains.
AS with all law violators in high
places, he pleaded for law and order,
and closed his letter with this same
bombast he used when defending his
injunction policy.
"Is this to remain a government Of
law and order, of constitutional proce-
dure, with its guarantees Of individual
rights and its safeguards for equal
justice to the highest and the hum
blest?"
While lashing the public into a
frenzy, to justify his shop mems in
junction, Daugherty made this decla-
ration in favor of Garyism:
"But it may be understood that so
long and to the extent that ] can
speak for the government of the
United States, will use the power Of
government to prevent the labor
unions Of the country from destroying
the anti-union shop"

lsrixing the senate to stop its inves-
tigations and get down to legislation.
He signs himself founder and director
Of Supreme Lodge Of Loyal Sons Of
America. II we had one Of those old
time popguns made from the elder
berry bush, we would unlimber the
artillery and make an assault on the
wiseacres Of the sleepy town Of Phil
adelphia. William Penn must have
rolled over in his grave many time
were it possible for him to observe
the wonderful intelligence that the
Quaker City takes to itself.
Not satisfied with what ails their
city, they have secured the assist
ance of an officer Of the marine de-
partment Of Uncle Sam, and Briga-
der Butler, with the aid Of much
trumpeting, announces that he will
make Philadelphia, if given sufficient
time, the one spotless town in the u.
S. A.. That is blowing hot. When he
blows cold he AYERS that he is not
getting the support Of the troops (cit-
izens) that he should. Oh, yes, you
have heard about the farmer who led
his horse to the watering trough and
then kicked or bit himself in the shin
bone because he could not make the
horse drink.
Away down in this same locality
they still have several thousand So
called "blue laws" upon the statutes.
The mayor Of Philadelphia states that
he will not play golf on Sunday in
the future-he will play golf during
the week, as his pay goes on just the
same. Let US take a look. If he
spends any of his office time during
the week playing golf he is stealing
his pay for that period. Funny what
rubber goes to make up some peo-
pies understanding. This reminds US
of another official who was holier
than thou, but whose health necessi-
tated vacations several times a year.
He drew his salary and shouted amen
in the deacon's corner. Hallelujah!
AS Couie said: We are getting
dumber and dumber every day, in
every way.
Two hundred experts in baking
bread met in Chicago the other day.
They stated that they would make
bread in their plants more appetizing
and thus get the wife to buy more.
Hurrah! But darn it all, they didn't
say word as to why farmer gets
about So for wheat that makes bar
rel Of flour and the bread costs about
$18, to say nothing about the bran
and other things that somebody else
gets. Some more uplift and material
for the flimfammers.
