CITES HIGH RENTS
TYPE OFFLAPPER
Mrs. Taylor Sees 0vercrowded
Homes Causing Girls to Seek
Street Entertainment.
LAUDs RENT COMMISSION
Saves Government Thousands Of
Dollars, She Says.

High rents are responsible for the
Objectionable type of fiapper," Mrs.
Clara Sears Taylor, rent commission
er, told the Federal Employees Union,
No. ., last evening at a meeting at
1923 New York avenue. The home
becomes overcrowded through the
necessity of having to rent out rooms,
forcing the young people-who would,
under reasonable rent, have their
company in their home-to flock to F
street.
The public's opinion of the Rent
Commission is often erroneous. Mrs.
Taylor said. 1t sits as jury on cases
coming before it. What all of us
are looking for today is normalcy.
and board of disinterested men and
women, not swayed by the viewpoint
of either the landlord or tenant, is
seeking to bring about normally
through u sterilization of rent val
ues."
Eliminates Antngonism.
Congress is being asked to make
the Rent Commission permanent, Mrs
Taylor said. with the understanding
inat when it becomes no longer nee
essary it be dissolved. This indefinite
term of life, she said. eliminates an
taSonism arising between tenant and
passing out of existence of the com
mission.
The necessity for some sort of rent
regulation could not be denied, she
said when facts are confronted.
Figures were given to show the
average earning of government
employees here. and showed that
where the average percentage of the
salary necessary for rent in 1914 was
IS per cent it is now about 60 per
cent. Inquiries received by the COM
mission from numerous states as to
tho manner in which it operates,
points TO the fact that it is needed
as much in many other places as in
Washington.
Saves Thousands of Dollars.
The commission has saved the gov
eminent many thousand of dollars
by providing employees with knowl-
edge that they would not be forced
to pay unreasonable rents, and also
knowing that when their leases ex-
pired they could not be evicted.
Following. the address the union
nominated the following officers who
will be elected at the next meeting:
Joseph Stanstield PRESIDENT; w. Y.
Campbell, fir't vice PRESIDENT; Mrs.
Sophia j. Bergner, second vice presi-
dent; 5. p. Ferguson, third vice presi-
dents; Mrs. Rosetta Pierce, fourth vice

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

Are you self-conceited? Do you
consider yourself a second Rudolph
Valentino? DO you pose around and
expect every girl to burn incense be-
fore you? Girls loathe the egotist.
Are you condescending in your
attitude toward all women? DO you
sneer at their opinions and wax
sarcastic over the way they drive
an automobile?
When you take a girl out, do you
act toward her as if you thought
she should be doing flipflops Of
gratitude before you for your kind
ness? There's nothing girls loathe
like having a man patronize them.
Are you a tightwad? When you
take girl out, do you choose the
cheapest place you can go to? DO
you invariably order half portions
at restaurant and the least eX-
pensive drinks at the soda fountain?
Nice girls are not golddiggers, but
they like to feel that a man values
their company at more than thirty
cents an evening.
Are you a bore? Do you spend
hours monologing along about your
self and your affairs, and think that
girl should spend a joyous evening
hearing all about your flivver, and
what you said to the boss and the
boss said to you? The tedious
talker makes a girl mighty weary.
Do you stay too long when you go
to see a girl? Do you linger on and
on until the clock yawns in your
face, and the girl has to get up and
walk around the room to keep her
self awake? There is no surer way
for a man to make himself unpopu-
| lar than to outstay his welcome.
Perhaps, among these suggestions,
you will find the answer to the prob
lem of why you are unpopular with
girls.
Dear Miss Dix-Do you think
| it best for man and wife to sepa-
rate when there is no hope of peace
| in the home? My wife quits me
periodically, and has done so during
! the last eighteen years. During
! these mad periods she tells scandal
Gus and untrue tales about me, and
tries to prejudice my children
against me, and is most unkind to
my dear old mother. There is no
cause whatever for my wife's con-
| duct, but | have put up with it for
the sake of my children, whom
! love dearly. Iuey are HOW
grown and away from home and self
sustaining, and I do not feel that I
can bear this any longer. What
should I do?
A WORRIED HUSBAND.
Answer: 1 believe that so long as
people have small children they
should endure almost anything from
their husbands and wives for the
sake of keeping home together
and giving the children the benefit
of both a mothers and fathers care
| and influence.

We have found that the draft

as any type of animal we have kept

Raising Draft Horses in Georgia

Any information you can give
me concerning the breeding and
raising of horses in general and
draft horses in particular, will be
appreciated.
We have been maintaining draft
horses here on the college farm for
many years past. Our experience
has been confined to the use of the
Percheron breed. This is a large,
fine, outstanding type of horse which
originated in France. They vary in
color from black to dapple gray.
They are clean cut, fine limbed ami
mails with deep, well developed
chests and hind quarters. They have
arched necks and fine heads which
they carry we'll. This breed seems
to have done quite well in Georgia
better, so far as / am able tC
