the breeding process of the tortoise is
very similar to that of modern chickens
in other ways. Left in the damp, dark
cave, the egg of the tortoise Matched of
its own accord. The young, emerging
from the pieces Of the shell, were from
the very first left to shift for themselves.
They never saw their parents. They were
born with legs sufficiently well formed to
support them and they scampered off into
the hot sand. Here again the close family
relationship between the ancient tortoise
and the modern chicken is shown. The
chicken and the tortoise are the only crea-
lures that walk from their eggs. Also the
embryos of the two are almost identical
during the early stages while they are
taking shape inside the egg.

cestor at last for the Galapagos tortoise.
Until these fossil remains were found,
nothing was known of its early ancestry.
But the Siwalik reptile carries back the

Turtles and tortoises,"
declares Prof. Willitson,
really have no relationship
at all with other reptiles.
Some have thought that the
Plesiosaurs were their first
cousins; others have linked
them with the Placadontia.
These groups of reptiles
have long been extinct, and
there is little evidence that
they belonged to the same
family as the tortoise. Their
relationship, at least, is no
closer than it is to croco-
dies, dinosaures and flying
reptiles. They are the only
reptiles we know, with one
exception, which have no

and that 1t was unwise and impolite.
1T has been reported in the press
that the President of the United
States has laid his blessing on this
measure" said the ex-senator. He
said that the Presidents triumph In
the polls in November had largely
been q personal triumph, that he was
regarded as the champion of law and
order, of personal rights and personal
property.
The President hiss not read this
bill, can easily believe" he declared
IF he had read 1t, and then placed his
sanction on It, I should regard 1t as
an occasion for distress, for the meas
ure violates every principle for which
he has stood"
Senator Gore said that the Whaley
bill challenges the right of private
property in the United States and
throughout the world in principle. He
quoted from the laws in constitu-
ton of the Soviet government OF
Russia, from the writings of Carl
Marx and others in support Of his
statement that 1t was the character
Of legislation the Communist desired
The battle over the principle of pri-
vate property has been Joined and
must be fought out.
This is an insidious assault on the
institution of private property he
said, though not designedly SO on
the part of some of it's proponents.
Senator Gore quoted from many de-
cisions of the courts to show that
the police powers of Government can
not be invoked to suspend the con-
stitutional rights OF the people The
constitutional rights of the residents
OF the District, he argued are exactly
the same as those of the citizens OF
the States.
Tho police power is not a Frank
enstein lurking around the corner
that can be summoned In an emer-
gency to upset the Constitution" de-
clared Senator Gore. He said that an
attempt had been made in Texas to fix
the rent on farm lands and that II
had been held unconstitutional.
The power OF Congress to legislate
for the District Is limited by the safe
guards contained in the Constitution
to the same degree that the State
legislatures are limited in eneacttng
laws for the people of the States, he
said.

He denied this emphatically, and
| added that at present rents in Wash
ington in many CASES are being re-
duced.
Mr.. Saul denied also that there is
| any housing or rental emergency in
| the District today He said that in
| his opinion there had been no such an
| emergency for the last two years. He
said that owners of property, because
| they have not been getting a fair
return from rents, have taken their
properties off the rental market and
have sold them.
During the war, he said. he thought
| the majority of the brokers here were
in favor of rent legislation; that he.
| himself, had urged upon Senator Ball
| the need of some legislation.
| Mr.. Saul told the committee there
are now rs vacant properties for rent
| IN his own office.
Representative Stalker OF New York
| asked how many of these properties
| rented below $50 a month. Mr.. Saul
| answered there were not many. He
| called attention, however, to the fact
| that building costs were 100 per cent
greater today than before the war.
and that an apartment which rented
4 d
| essarily must rent for considerable
more now.
Mr.. Saul strongly urged that If
rent legislation were to be passed, 1t
be made less drastic instead OF more
drastic, in view of the fact that con-
ditions have bettered here. He said
| that the landlord at least, should have
the right to say who should rent his
property.
Has No Objections.
In reply 70 questions by Representa-
| tive Blanton. Mr.. Saul said that he had
| no objection to a licensing law; that
he had no objection to a law providing
| that the true consideration must be
| included in deeds of transfer: that he
| had no objection to a law Furnishing
| conspiracy of two or more to fix real
| estate prices. and that he had no OBJ
| lection to a law which would demand
| that mortgages and deeds OF trust
should state specifically just what they
cover and what they purport to be.
| Mr.. Saul said he did not believe that
the true consideration provision would
| accomplish all that was hoped from IL.
nor did he believe there was any neces-
sity against conspiracy to fix prices.
but he said that he had no objection.
Mr.. Saul was asked by Senator Cvpo-

Property II Owner Re-
fuses Repairs.

The Washington Real Estate Board
demanded today that Quinter, Thomas

the owner of the Darlington apartments
unless the property is put in good con-
dition within 60 days and afterward
properly maintained. The company was
notified to appear before the executive
committee OF the board tomorrow
afternoon.
The letter was read to the Joint
subcommittee at tho hearing on the
proposed Whaley rent legislation, to
indicate that the Real Estate Board
intends to investigate thoroughly and
prevent practices that do not con-
form with its ethical standards.
The letter also asks Quinter.
Thomas & Co. to appear before the
boards executive committee to ex-
plain their connection with the
financing of the building. This action
of the Real Estate Boards executive
committee followed Immediately upon
cognisance by them of the complaints
OF several tenants of the Darlington
apartments who have received no.
tices OF evictions.
TeTt Of Board Letter.
The letter reads as follows:
The newspaper accounts of the
reported service by your firm OF evic-
tion notices on certain tenants in
the Darlington apartments, together
with the publicity incident thereto,
were brought to the attention of the
executive committee.
I'm order to be advised OF the facts
IN connection with the matter .. spe-
oial committee consisting of members
of this board was appointed to in
spoct the darlington and report to

This special committee reported
that the building was In bad condi-
tion and showed Indications that II
had not been properly maintained
and that the service was poor. II was
the opinion of this committee that
from $500 20 $4,000 would be re-
CURED to recondition the building.
See Proposed Return Fair.
The special committee further
advised the executive committee that
the gross annual rental reported by
you as SS3.78o would be q fair rental
IL the building was in a thoroughly
good condition. properly maintained.
with good service rendered the
tenants.
This board stands for fair and
equitable dealings in real estate, and
Is not in sympathy with practices
or dealings OF any character that are
not based on these principles. We
feel that rental agents should use
their influence to see that the own
ers of the properties placed in their
care not only keep their rentals on a
fair and just basis. but that tho prop
critics be maintained In good order
and proper service rendered tenants.
with this thought In mind the
executive committee recommends that
you advise the owner Of the Earring
ton that you will no longer repre-
sent him unless he places the prop
erty in good condition within so days
and properly maintains the building
