Built of the finest steels. OF the

makers 1870 premium to get just the
quality specified.
Built under an engineering de-

Each car subjected in the building

Same steels, same workmanship

There are many features in this

we want to mention two in par

The motor is perfectly balanced.
That means long life and freedom

DISTRICT BILLS:
POSTPONED
AGAIN
Consideration of Appropria-
tons Probably Will Be
Taken Tuesday.

Consideration Of the District ap-
preparation bill by the House proba-
bly, will be postponed until next
Tuesday.
The bill, according to plans Of the
House Appropriations Committee.
was to have been brought up on the
floor this afternoon. This plan was
abandoned because of the extended
time granted for consideration of
the child labor amendment to the
Constitution, which was brought up
yesterday and which Is again under
consideration this afternoon.
A number OF amendments to the
appropriation bill providing for re-
insertion of items stricken out by
the Appropriations Committee were
planned today by members Of the
House who are friendly toward the
needs OF the District.

Alexandria Police Fine
Themselves For
"Cussing''

otis all in the tone of voice."
remarked the desk sergeant in
the Alexandria police station in
a controversy over the relative
cost of "cussing" in Alexandria.
Recently a profanity box"
was installed in the police sta
ton and anyone guilty of using
"cuss" word other than
"damn" must deposit 10 cents.
One of the prominent citizens
hearing of the little box re-
marked that if it cost $40 for
all you could "cuss" on the
street before an officer could
catch you, and only 10 cents a
word in the police station, the
next time he got real mad he
was going to fill his pockets
with dimes and come to the
station and break loose.
The sergeant had to remind
him that the incident that agi-
tated the novel idea was the
finding Of one of the officers
$18 for saying only one cuss
word in thes tation house.

READY
ANDFOES
MOVE
BIanton Makes New Attack as
Rule Is Issued to Bring
Up Act Monday.

A battle over the plan to ex-
tend the District rent act for an
additional period Of two years is
certain when the bill is taken up
by the House Monday.
A special rule providing for
consideration of the bill was
brought up on the floor this after
noon and permission was given
that the bill be changed to permit
an amendment fixing the length
Of time the act is to remain in
effect.
Extended Two Years.
Under the terms of the Bege
resolution. which provides for ex
tension Of the act, the rent law is
to expire on May %, 1925.
Strenuous efforts will be made
by opponents OF rent legislation
under the terms of the rule as
amended today to cut the period of
extension, to one year or less.
The rule also provides that ii
shall be in order to amend the
Begg resolution by providing for
a reduction Of the membership of
the District Rent Commission from
five to three commissioners.
The House has already agreed
10 an amendment embodying this
reduction and little opposition is
expected when this feature is again
brought up.
New Move by BIantOn.
Congressman Thomas L. Blanton
Of Texas. this afternoon secured
consent Of the House to print in
the Congressional Record a state
ment regarding the District hous-
ing situation.
Opposition to the rent extension
resolution in the Senate apparently
has dwindled down almost to the
vanishing pint.
Inquiry among Senators who op-
posed rent control in the past in
dicates that most Of them have
continued study of the local Situa
ton, 1t was revealed today. Sen
ator King, one of the strongest Oh
ponents of the bill heretofore, is
now in favor Of the extension reso
luton.
Sheppard Neutral.
1t also became known that Sen.
ator Sheppard of Texas, former Cd.
ponent of the bill, now is pursuing
course of neutrality and will make
no effort to obstruct the bill when
it reaches the floor of the Senate
Senator Fletcher, who filibustered
against the measure two years ago.
has not yet made known his atti-
tude.
AS soon as the resolution passes
the House Monday, as Is expected.
the Senate District Committee prob
ably will be convened Immediately
and be in a position to report the
bill to the Senate In a few DAYS.
This will leave a leeway Of about
three weeks to pass the measure
before the present act expires.
Progress on Report.
The investigators who are pre-.
pairing report upon the alleged
realty combine in Washington
probably will not complete their
work much before June, it was in.
dicated today. This report will not
be used in relation with considera-
ton Of rent legislation in the Sen.
ate.
1t ia expected, however, that
court proceedings will develop out
of it. The recent decision of the
United States Supreme Court in the
Chastleton case has not affected
the rent situation in Congress to a
great extent, according to Oh
servers.
