What Are You Going to Do When
the Rent Comes Round?

A survey of rent rates throughout
the city shows that rents are higher
today by IA per cent than in 1928.
Over So per cent Of the small dwell
ings had their rents increased in the
last year. This affects mostly men,
bers of the race who are compelled
to live in the cheaper houses, mostly
shacks, with no conveniences at all,
and in many instances places that
have to be "chinked up" to keep out
the wintry blasts.

The calendar indicates long inter
val between the dead of winter and the
heart of spring, but the Wabash Rail
way, in conjunction with the Missouri
Pacific, narrows the ting to only nine
teen and half hours. In other words,
the Wabash can whisk a person out
of the rigors of a Chicago winter into
the very lap Of balmy spring at Hot
Springs, Ark, in that time.
The Wabash is strongly featuring
Hot Springs in its extension winter
vacation service, and the arrangement
with the Missouri Pacific is having a
most gratifying appeal. These two
lines afford unsurpassing service be-
tween Chicago and the Arkansas re-
sort town, where, at this time, weather
conditions are ideal for the tired BUSH
ness man and his family. Every year
for decades Hot Springs has enjoyed
popularity with Chicagoans, but this
year, according to John Maloney, as
sistant general passenger agent Of the
Wabash, the traffic from Chicago to
Hot Springs is SCATTERING all previous
records. Reservations are piling up,
and there is no doubt that the end Of
the season will witness a new record
of travel between the two cities.
"The Banner Limited" the Wabash
crack SID nd one-half hour all-steel
train to St. Louis, and the Missouri
Pacihc's Sunshine Special" from St.
Louis afford the transporting facilities
The run to St. Louis is by daylight,
and the Banner Limited penetrates the
most interesting part Of Illinois, sec
ton rich in scenery. The Banner Linn
tied leaves Dearborn station at $50
A. NJ, daily, arriving in St. Louis at
600 P. M. The Sunshine Special de-
parts from St. Louis at GAS P. M,
arriving at Hot Springs at 700 "a. M.
The Chicago-Hot Springs service is
deserving of the best that the Wabash
can OFFER said Mr.. Maloney, for the
traffic between the two cities has as
sumed very large proportions. Hot
Springs is the nearest winter resort of
note for Chicagoans, and. they are
completely sold on that resort as a
place in which to recuperate and en-
joy all the attractions Of invigorating
spring. Every day is golf day in Hot
Springs, and every day IS horseback
riding day there. The hikes into the
foothills, the delightful scenery and
the health-laden air combine to bring
the rosy pink to the most faded
cheeks. have heard It said that a
week or two in Hot Springs, with its
famous baths, bring forth one Of ma
lures greatest tonics. Everything
seems made to order for the business
man seeking respite from his activities
and the women folk can find some
thing to interest them ali the time in
the lovely Arkansas city.
Zone Of the best ads for Hot
Springs lies in the facf that Chicagoans
90 there year after year. There have
been cases where vacation spots have
been shifted, but evidently Hot
Springs gets back all Of those who try

CAIRO SCAPEGOAT
MADE OF ALLENby
British High Commissioner
Is Blamed in Egypt for

BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily N

BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily NeWs
LONDON, May 21.--Lord Allenby s
resignation as high commissioner of
Egypt comes at a critical moment in
Great Britain's relations with her most
troublesome protectorate and is sur
rounded with 50 much mystery that 1t
may have unfortunate effects.
While Lord Allenby'S departure from
Cairo has been made to appear to be
perfectly natural sequence, involving
no change whatever in Great Britain s
policy, it is obvious to those who have
followed recent history that his au-
thority has been undermined by in
trigue among Europeans in Egypt and
by the bitter campaign against him in
the press at home.
His integrity stands unquestioned,
+. and in the end his policy of concilia-
ton may win out, but his critics de-
clare that he is temperamentally un-
fitted for u task which requires the
delicate diplomacy and Infinite tinesse
of an experienced politician.

blunt lighting qualities AllenbY show
Ell weakness at the very moment when
he should have been aggressive during

murder of Sir Lee Stack. Following
the murder OF the late Sirdar, Lord
Alienby also was forced TO take the
full blame for his laundering threat to
cut off Egypt's water supply as re-
