The man who placed the calls, a

The pendulum Of public sym

The revengeful spirit displayed

comment heard on every street

charge.
Father Loses Sympathy.
Twenty years in prison or a fine
OF $4,000 or both was the outlook
Woodward faced.
For days during the man hunt

Lucille, was pathetic figure.
Without sleep and without food
the father kept in the vanguard

PREDIC s
BOOST IN
RENTAL.
RATE:
Passing of Rent Commission
Means IS Per Cent Increase,
Metzerott Says

Rent Of cheap and moderately
priced houses in Washington will
advance 1t least Is per cent when
the Rent Commission goes out Of
existence on May %, President
Coolidge was told today by Oliver
Metzerott, chairman of the COM
mission.
This average increase of house
rentals will be exceeded in GER
tain cases, but a survey made by
the rent commission covering one
third of the cheapest type of
rented houses in Washington
shows that the general level of
increases will be about Is per
cent.
Report Not Ready.
The Rent Commission is not yet
ready to make it's report on apart
ment house rentals in the city.
Within ten days. it Is expected, in
formation will be ready for Presi-
dent Coolidge with respect to the
apartment house situation.
The conference which Chairman
Metzerott held with President Cool
idEe today was entirely for the pur-
pose of informing him of the results
Of the rental survey. Relief meas
ures were not discussed, and former
Senator Balls plan for dealing with
the local situation was not taken up
by the President.
John A Petty, secretary OF the
Washington Real Estate Board, de-
clined to comment on the survey
made by the Rent Commission.
II cannot comment off-hand on
Mr.. Metzerott'S figures" Mr.. Petty
said. II may have a statement to
issue later when have had an OPP
to study the situation
further
Mr.. Metzerott is known to hold
to the belief that there will be
little Of practical value to the rent
paying public of Washington in the
plan that former Senator Ball has
outlined. He did not, however, ex.
press his opposition to the plan in
Covers One-Third of Field.
The survey made by the Rent
Commission of rented houses COW
ers approximately one-third of all
the rentable property of that type
in Washington, Mr.. MetZerOtt said.
He is Of the opinion that the sur
vey of apartment houses will oe
more encouraging in its results than
that made of the rented houses, OF
which there is said to be a real
shortage.
Mr.. Metzerott today said that I'M
promoters might take ad-
of the sentiment that is
being created in favor of invest
ments in second mortgage finance
He pointed out that
even under the most favorable con-
ditions, investments in second mort
cages were speculative and hazard
ous and that 1t was not likely that
local bankers or business men would
invest in such corporations on a
basis as had been sug-
gested by various interested parties.

certainty that the homes would get
the benefit of these low rates. He
said there was nc apparent reason
why the contractor should not take
TO himself the full benefits of the
lower interest rates and fail to pass
them on to those who buy or rent
the homes from him.
He indicated that the Rent Com
mission had not given it's approval
"a Senator Balls proposal and that

TO ANY
DELAY
Some Delegates, However,
May Attempt to Secure
Postponement Of Ballot

Ninety delegates to the FEEDER

Imeet at o'clock tonight IN the
Board Room of the District Build
ing to elect six members Of the
new Citizens Advisory Council.
Any attempts to interfere with
the baIloting will not be counte-
nanced, federation officials declared
today. Officials say that the only
business before the Federation to-
night is the election, and any
one attempting to bring up other
matters will be out of order.
There were reports today that
some delegates would make in
quiries from the floor as to the
authorship of the anonymous let
tier sent out yesterday urging
election of the administration
ticket; that a move would be
made to postpone the election
until a plan insuring representa-.
ton on the council for every
section had been acted on.
Lively Meeting Predicted.
Jesse c. Suter, president OF the
federation, will preside tonight.
There were rumors today that dele.
gates would demand an immediate
investigation of charges by George
E. Sullivan, of Takoma Park, that
Suter attempted to bar his name
from the ballot
A lively meeting with prolonged
balloting is predicted for tonight.
The attendance at the meeting has
been limited to prevent confusion:
This limitation was made upon the
advice of the Commissioners, who
are anxious that a quiet and orderly
election be held.
1t is virtually certain that the
first ballot will be unproductive.
Initial votes will be case for favorite
sons and there are thirty Of them.
Not until late in the evening is the
federation expected to make any

Sections to Unite.
Northeast and southeast delegates
are expected to- unite to insure the
election of one councilman from the
northeast and one from the south

There has been considerable talk
about a move to GUST Suter from
the federation and thus prevent
him from becoming ex-officio chair

Federation Dues Paid.
Not in many years has there
been such intense interest in

been the paying of all dues in the
federation, many organizations de-

Retain Curiosity, and
Keep Up With World

There Is perhaps only about one
childish quality that should stay with
us all our years, and that Is our curl
osity. II We keep on asking questions
and wondering about things life will
keep on being interesting and fresh
and stimulating and growing bigger
and better every day. But II we allow
the routine Of things, or too great
sense Of satisfaction, to wear down
and destroy our curiosity the zest Will
largely 20 out Of living, and with that
the possibility of progress, and we Will
stand numbered with our prejudlces
and all the hampering lumber OF life.
And strange as 1t may seem, there
will probably be many more questions
to ask when one Is eighty than there
were when he was eight. Indeed, 1t is
only when one has lived long and
thought deeply that he begins to UNI
derstand how to ask questions, and to
see how big is the world that he does
not know.--Family Herald.

divine satisfaction when we are told
that, GOD loveth cheerful glver."
When the cynlc and the grumbler come
into the room we are glad OF an ex

soul comes breezing in we sit up and

Many Ailments Cured
BY Diet of Grapes

A diet OF grapes has taken its place
among the treatments recommended
for various ailments, The grape treat
ment Is recommended for obesity,
various stomach troubles, chronic
bronchitis and some chest affections.
There are several places In Europe to
which patients go during the grape
season for treatment. At first sight
the treatment would appear to be an
exceedingly attractive one since 1t
consists merely In living largely on
these luscious fruits, In practice, how
ever, most people find the reverse the
case, for after time a constant diet
of grapes pals on the appetite, and
people taking the cure are frequently
heard to say that they come to hate
the very sight of them,
The patients generally begin with
few large, luscious grapes by way of
dessert at the end Of their meal. But
during the four to six weeks which Is
the general length of the cure, the
weight OF the grapes Is gradually in
creased until the individual may be
eating as much as eight pounds day,
with little or no other food.
In the more ordinary cases. how
ever, when In full swing the treatment
Is generally a pound or a little more
of grapes three times day, from half
to one hour before meals.

There Is an "oldest house In Amerl-

two-story structure with the plaster

side. Still harder to find Is an Eliza

1t Is half timber and half stone, with
wide shlngled hoods where 1t opens
