Chickens are coming home to roost 1 for landlords in the District of Co.,

 causing the real estate men acute dis 1 tress and they are telling their trou-
 b1es to the world in fearful and agon- ized tones.
 For years, landlords in Washington
 have had things pretty much their
 own way and many of them have taken
 advantage of the situation to gouge
 tenants unmercifully Despite efforts to curb greedy landlords during the war and in the years since the wars
 end the situation has shown no i'm

 become so intolerable that drastic leg |islation dealing with the situation has been introduced in ongress. The legislation proposes, among other things, af board of commissioners to
 In the last few months, tenants have been demanding relief in no uncertain words. The landlords have been seek ing to convince the tenants and the world at large that everything is love ly but they have not been making much progress. That the plight of the tenants is serious is indicated by the fact that so cautious and conserv- alive a ma mas President Coolidge is actively interested III the fight to pro- tect the tenants and is backing the proposed rent bill.
 To the unbiased observer, 1t ap- pears that the landlords have only themselves to blame for the situation confronting them. Most of them have boosted rents to levels unheard of in the National Capitals history.

 Georgia, home state of the Ku klux Klan, Is finding that hugging
 the Klan to its bosom does not pay. Klan 1awlessness is driving many
 prospective citizens and industries from Atlanta and from Georgia, it is charged. So business men in Atlanta
 are beginning to look with marked
 disfavor on the hooded order. As
 long as the Klan didn't interfere with
 business it might regulate" citizens with the rope, the torch and the lash as much as it liked, but when it began to cut into profts-well, that is horse of another color, and business men are now denouncing Klan rule.
 Though the Atlanta business men are apparently influenced by fear of losing profits, 1t Is a hopeful sign that they are at last turning against the Klan, which has SO long been dis grace to Georgia. If the change of attitude in Georgia marks the begin hing of the end of the Klan, so much the better for the nation. No one will be the loser when the Klan goes, except the manufacturers of mems 'nighties"N and the K1an potentates who have fattened from the dues paid oy Klan members.

as danger to gouging landlords III every section of the country. For this reason, the fight for the rent law in Washington is of interest to every rent payer in the United States.
 Sixteen prsons, all negroes, were 1ynched in 1924 the smallest number of any year since records have been kept, Tuskegee Institute announces. The 1924 record was 17 less than the B recorded in 1923.
 At first thought the 1924 1ynching record suggests that the United States is becoming more civilized and w-abiding. On second thought, it is recalled that other forms of violent crime, such as murder and robbery did not decrease but increased last year 50 it is plain that falling off in mob murders does not necessarily indi cate that Americans are forsaking law | less violence
 Perhaps, as the New York Times suggests, the explanation is that the South is learning that it must treat it's negroes better if it hopes to keep thm at home.
 "One explanation that suggests it. self, says the Times, though it's valid ity is hot likely to be admitted in the South, is that states with large negro populations have been so disquieted and inconvenienced by the much dis cussed exodus of black folk to the North that something like a general realization as to the wisdom of gent1er treatment of the valuable workers has been produced. For with the exodus the lynchings undoubtedly have had more than a little to do."
 President Coolidge gave the farm CTS of the nation piece of sound ad- vice when he told the National Coun- Gil of Farmers Cooperative Marketing that the farmers must take the lead in solving their own problems. Warning them against ex- pecting others ot do what they must do themselves, he said:
 There is school of cooperators who seem to believe that the program can be started at the top and built downward. They want the govern ment, or the banks, or philanthropies, or Providence to lay out a scheme big enough to cover the country, set its moving, guarantee it all | needed capital, and then invite the

WOOD MAKES AUTOS
FIT" FOR fall WORK

Ralph W. Wood, garage proprietor
of Hallowell, is not looking with pes
simism upon the advent of fall. AS
cold weather comes, it is of course
but natural that there will be less
automobiling. On the other hand
cold weather means that automobiles
may require more attention.
There are adjustments of all kinds
to be made, accessories to be secur-
ed and other work done so that fall
automobiling may be just as enjoy
able as automobiling at any other
time of year.
Ralph Wood, because of the con-
scientious work he does, has won a
rather enviable place in this COM
munity. Woods work is good work
and auto owners who have come TO
appreciate the fact have not hest
tated to drive miles out of their way
| just to have Ralph" look after their
cars.
! In addition to the general garage
work he does, he maintains a battery
! and electrical service and deals IN
| auto accessories, Dayton tires and
| Exide batteries.

Lewis Master Course
OF Six Weeks
For Voice

Leroy Lewis baritone and
teacher Of singing, has just re-
turned from New York where
he has been gaining new ideas
at the studio of Adelaide Ge-
scheidt before opening his six
weeks Master Course" for ad-
vanced students, which begins
today.
Making singing a joy as well
as an art" is one of Mr.. Lewis
slogans, which he declares is a
possibility for all persons. He
puts emphasis upon the use of
consonants in syllables to de-
velop resonance. Articulation
in the form of correct speech,
no matter what the language,
and an avoidance of conscious
breathing which so often be-
comes a stumbling block to free
singing, are a part Of his laws
for normal voice production.
His work this past season
with advanced students has been
proven by the number of pro-
fessional engagements from his
studio. Thelma Smith. con-
tralto, is now soloist ct the
Church of the Covenant; Flor
ence Sindell. soprano, is soloist
of the Georgetown Presbyterian
Church; Emily Marsh, soprano,
has been singing in church and
recital; and Ella Ellis, dramatic
soprano, is now in New York
where she will teach next year.
Mr.. Lewis. choral groups of
twenty augmented the chorus
that gave Harriet Wares "Un-
dine" here recently, and he has
four soloists recently admitted
as active members of the Fri
day Morning Music Club.
